After a while, the machine runs louder and louder and the dryer will eventually turn off. I can not restart it until the dryer has cooled off for a while. What could be the problem and how do I open the dryer case? Thanks, Jennifer

You just have to take it apart and look at it. Tom ApplianceEducator.com
