Check the Vent Before You Call
Clothes that are still damp after a normal cycle, longer-than-usual drying times, or little exhaust air coming out of the outside vent while the dryer runs can all point to a blocked lint screen or exhaust duct.

Local Notes for Chelsea
Most dryer calls in Chelsea come down to the same handful of parts: the vent and lint path, the heat source, the belt and rollers, and the door and start switches.
Massachusetts does not issue a separate appliance repair license; running fuel gas piping to appliances and installing their vent piping is gas fitting work that requires a license from the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters.

Gas piping to appliances must be done by a licensed gas fitter or a licensed master or journeyman plumber, under a permit from the local inspector, with licensing by the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters. Source: Plumbers and gas fitters consumer fact sheet (Mass.gov)
