Dryer issue - goldenrod? Where are you?
Dryer is old but works. Sorta.
It's doing this thing now where it will only dry clothes and spin if like there's only 6 items inside. And they have to be light items - no towels.
Is this an easy fix? And cheap? Or do I just buy a new dryer?

Re: Dryer issue - goldenrod? Where are you?
Are there any unusual noises? My first guesses are that the belt is slipping from the motor to the dryer drum (cheap and relatively easy fix), or that the motor is failing (much more expensive and complicated).

Re: Dryer issue - goldenrod? Where are you?
If you need a new dryer, I'm selling mine. Its not even a year old yet. Its a gas hookup and my new apt calls for an electric hookup. Sears Kenmore. I have all the paperwork.
Sorry to hijack but I'm desperate to get this thing out of my tiny apt!

I should find out. I have gas heat ... Maybe it is gas?
I have it stacked on top of washer. Both are kenmore actually. They must be like over 10 years old but have held up (previous owner lived alone.. So light use probably contributed to the life of her appliances).
Is it front loading

Damn! That would have been good, but I need something with buttons on the face of the dryer, as the washer will be stacked on top of it.

I have a wonderful local appliance guy, GZ Appliance in Hauppauge. Maybe it's worth a call.
