The panel was filled with lint; the dryer motor and electrical connections were coated with a half inch of lint. I shone a light in the dryer and realized that there was a gap all around the drum. The gasket doesn't seem to be damaged or dried out. Could it be just be seated improperly? Any experience with this sort of thing? Thanks, CJ
