Electric heating coil for a dryer is only around $40.00 to $50.00, and is not that difficult to replace. It also is a good time to clean lint build up out of it!

I usually repair or replace appliances with appliances from a thrift, yard sale or local dump. So I have lots of spar parts and working or nearly working replacement appliances. I can afford to buy new appliances but I would rather do something else with my money like pour money into the worlds worst investment, a boat, airplane or trees near my septic tank.  

Repair your own appliances if possible and practice your skill.

Thank you, & yes you're right Shootah, my son found a nice huge pile of lint build up, & removed it.  He's going to replace the coil but sometimes it costs more for the part & wasn't sure if it was worth it to fix it..but it's definetely worth it if it's only $40-50.  Dryer going out never convenient, so I want to keep my extra expenditures down if you know what I mean!
