Now, (it's been a few days) I cleaned out everything thinking it just was accumulated lint and now it's not heating at all. When I start the dryer, everything runs fine but no heat at all. I did notice that every couple minutes it makes a rattling noise. I'm going to make the assumption that it is the unit trying to heat up the dryer. What should I check first? Next? Thanks
