The lint filter is not even get any lint in it. My vent line in the house is clear. Is there a fuse or something in the dryer I can replace? Could there be a belt off the blower? Where would I find it inside the machine? Does someone have a repair schematic? Thanks! Duckman

The only thing I can think of is that the blower wheel has come loose from the motor's armature/shaft. Though it is strange that it has not blown the thermal fuse. The motor has two centrifugal switches on it one for removing the start winding and one to switch in the heating coil. They activate when the motor gets close to operating speed. Since you have heat and the motor does not overheat I am assuming that they are OK. Note there is always a possibility that something weird is going on with them. You did not say if the clothes are actually drying OK. [COLOR="Blue"] Is there a fuse or something in the dryer I can replace?[/COLOR] Yes there is but it would kill power to the motor.
