After finding the heating element online I finally fixed the dryer! The heating element was $20 cheaper then the local appliance shops! I like to stay local but not if I can save as much as it would cost to fill my jeeps gas tank...ok maybe not fill it but at least half way filled!
Luckily the company I bought it from has super fast shipping! I had the part in 2 days (it was free shipping too) and the dryer fixed the same day the part arrived! I had already checked all the fuses to make sure the fuses weren't the reason the element went out! Since they were good to go I replaced the heating element and tried it out!
I still am using the umbrella line dryer (in the house of course!) but the extra couple minutes in the dryer once the clothes are dry are heaven! The clothes get fluffed up and nice and warm on these cold days that are only going to get colder! I also figured out since the clothes are already dry I only need to set the dryer to UNDER the 10 minute timed dry! So I won't need to use the dryer very much!
The only downfall since I fixed the dryer is last month of not using the heating element on the dryer we saved $5 on our electricity bill! Maybe I can keep that up by only using the dryer for a couple minutes a load!?!?
