I have an older gas dryer that has been a real trooper until recently when it stopped heating (or doesn't heat very much). It still spins and the pilot is still working (you can see it glow underneath when it is running and the lights are off), and that should narrow it down a bit. I checked the vent, and it is not clogged.

I am wondering what might be the problem, what it would take to fix it (I'm a DIY person but have no knowledge here), and if it is worth fixing versus just replacing. I would much rather spend $60 to fix a 30 year old dryer than spend $500 on a new gas dryer that isn't junk (they don't build stuff like they used to).

Any help is much appreciated - thanks!! :)
