    Dryer is over heating, what do I do?
    My daughter dropped a rock into the lint trap as I was emptying it out. We cannot reach the rock, and don't believe that it has blown out. Now the dryer is overheating. There is some air coming our of the vent, but we cannot feel any suction when you place your hand over the lint filter (while running). We think maybe there could be a blower motor that has been damaged? Any suggestions?
    Thanks
