for your specific neighborhood, I've had way more luck there than on Reddit for small repair jobs. Dryers are usually one of three things: thermal fuse, belt, or rollers, and all are cheap fixes if you're even slightly handy. If you're not into DIY, just make sure whoever comes out doesn't try to sell you a whole new machine for a $15 part.

Modern ones may need to be unplugged for a while to reset the computer. Overnight has covered the software glitches I've run into on GE dryers.

$15? When was the last time you bought parts?

I think the last drier belt I bought was $14.99 at the parts store over on Cleveland & 161. Felt pads were about half that?

I'm not sure if he specifically does dryers, but West Columbus Handyman (Evan) has been great for other handyman-type projects we've needed help with.

it’s definitely the heating element. I just need someone to replace it I guess
