i have had the dryer less than a year.  since about a month after purchasing the dryer, it stopped shutting off.  the drum will continue to turn even after the timer is done.  in the last 2 weeks i have had to replace the heating element, thermostat, and thermal fuse 3 times.  yesterday when i replaced the parts, it didn't even last one load before it stopped heating and burned up the parts up.  i had the dryer vent and all lent cleaned out of the machine approximately 4 months ago when the dryer had to be fixed to make sure it was not a blockage problem. complete trash.  save your money and don't buy this dryer.
