Dryer Repair

My dryer has quit completely drying in the Automatic Setting. I have tried other settings and they work as they should. Air ducts are clear and plenty of air coming out. I cleaned the electrodes with rubbing alcohol and that helped a little bit. Would you recommend just going ahead and replacing the electrodes, or is there a possible problem that I have overlooked?

Hi,

Did you clean out the inside of the blower housing too as shown in this photo?

I know you said there was good air flow, but even so it may feel like it's blowing out good even when the blower housing has lint packed in it.

Can't say I have ever had to replace electrodes you cleaned. Should be able to just clean them up if that's the problem.
