We were having trouble cleaning out all the lint and dropped a metal utensil into the trap (I know, dumb, right?) I had no idea it could fall past the lint trap. I'm afraid to run the dryer until we retrieve it. I'm not seeing anything in the manual that's helping me. Ideas?
If it's a metal utensil that responds to magnetism, try a magnet on a string, or one of those telescoping magnetic picker-upper tools to get it out.

might be that the Drum is stuck, can you turn it by hand...it is possible that the drum has just got stuck, or maybe you have a drive belt problem . I hope this helps
SOURCE: Gas dryer won't run when pushing start. Motor not comming on.
There is a small resetable fuse athe back under the top cover being held by a plate that has a screw holding it in place. To test just connect the wires together. I see this all the time on those modeles.
SOURCE: bottle cap fell into lint trap behind the drum,
take the top cover off the unit(after UNPLUGGING unit of course)screw location varies on units,some you need to remove front cover first to access screws for top

There must be two vents going into the interior of the dryer, one is the intake (where the hot air comes from), the other is the outtake (where the lint trap must be). Locate the two vents and see if one of them has anything removable near it, or if the vent itself has finger holes or something that you can grab and pull or slide it open.
In some front loading models the two vents are at the back and both look like nonremovable vents. If that's the case, one actually pulls right out easily. It might then have two parts (the grate on the dryer side and the screen on the exhaust side) that snap or slide apart, with a space between for collecting lint. If that's the case, and you haven't cleared it in a long time, it will be packed full of lint. The two parts snap or slide apart, then you can get at the lint and remove it. Then snap or slide it back together and just push it back securely in place in the dryer.

Hi,
If you are having problems with your gas dryer not heating
the most common problem is that the ignitor goes bad. Even though it glows
sometimes it is still not working properly.
if you dryer is gas check out this gas no heat tip....
If you have an electric dryer, you can have many different
things that can go wrong causing the dryer not to heat.
check out this electric no heat tip...
