Suggestion for dryer repair in Prairieville?

Basic Frigidaire dryer that's had a nice run of 13 years, but figured I'd at least get someone knowledgeable out to tell if it's worth salvaging.
Any of you kind-hearted folks of the O-T have a suggestion for a good repairman?
No pics of wife or other hot chicks to share, so I fully expect more sarcasm than legit answers...fire away.

Wipe down the repair with a towel first. It will then be drier.

What are the symptoms? Dryers are pretty simple machines

Sounds like it’s not drying

If you can't fix a dryer then you just need to learn to wear you wiener tucked between your legs.

Probably just a heating element baw. 10 minutes and about $30

Still working, but maybe taking a bit longer to dry.
It's running louder than normal, and it sounds like the motor revs/pulses for a couple seconds every 30 seconds or so. Doesn't sound like a belt or roller.
Never messed around with a dryer and don't have the time, so I'm gonna pass on the DIY.

Dude my kids could replace a dryer heating element in 10 minutes. It's about like replacing an air filter in a vehicle except you have to remove and replace about 5 screws.

Would a failing heating element make noise though?
Posted on 1/27/18 at 12:18 am to magiLSU
it's not heating element/thermal fuse. Bearings bro. You can get a kit for about 40 bucks. Considering the age of the machine I would just put it at the road and head over to Stanton's scratch and dent on Choctaw. Tell em' Maynard sent you.

Nope. If it's making noise it's probably the belt, the motor or a bearing. Honestly it's almost not worth fixing it if you won't do it yourself though. You'll pay half the cost of the dryer to have someone else repair it

No expert here, but it doesn't sound like a bearing or belt. It's more of a pulsating hum that is louder than normal but gets even louder for a second or two every minute or so.
Figured a repairman could diagnose easily enough and might even take it away for a few bucks to get it out of my hair if not worth fixing,

Those dryers are considered collectibles. Don't part with it unless someone is willing to pay you decent money.

Frigidaire dryers have the cheapest heating element, but the top problem it's bearing failure.
Posted on 1/27/18 at 8:25 am to jdeval1
Ok, in a whirlpool where you just take off the back panel. In a frigidaire you have to restring it.
Also modern clear door dryers aren't easy. You have to remove 26 screws in the samsung and 30 on the lg units.
Some.people do a job and assume every job is like that, but it rarely is.
A frigidaire restring generally isn't a diy.

Pulsating hum is the motor generally. These unites have a bimetal on the motor when it goes bad the motor surges or cuts out.
