The back of my dryer get's so hot that it is melting ahole in the back of the dryer and get's the wall too hot. It kicks the braker and I am afraid to use it. I am a single mother with 4 kids and would appreciate any help as to how to sole this problem.

Remove your vent on the back and check for a clogged vent tube either in the connecting hose and or the tube coming from the dryer. Run the dryer for 1 cycle without the vent connected and see if it still gets too hot. If so, a bad limit switch could be causing your problem. There should be a thermal fuse that will blow if the dryer is too hot. You may have had service at some point and the fuse was bypassed. NOT GOOD.
