i have a dryer at home that is not blowing any air out and is taking forever to dry things, and is kind of a waste of electricity. so i took the hose off the back and there is no air coming out of the dryer, so i tried taking it apart and cleaned it out and there was no clogs anywhere. since it says on the dryer not to operate with the panels off, i decided not to see if the fan works or not. plus something seems to be making a noise which sound like its coming from the area of the fan, so i figure it is the only thing i could think of that could be going wrong. if you have any advice of anything else this may be please tell me. P.S. there is nothing wrong with the heating element.

It sounds like the blower wheel is worn out where it goes onto the motor shaft. It is a fairly simple job to change it and if you had the unit apart to clean you probably know what you must do.
It is a common problem and the part is not expensive.

I think your dryer is done... if the fan is cooked and not working, this is a good indication that you need a new dryer or at least, a visit froma repair person qualified to replace the fan.
