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.

The outside termination should have a backdraft damper and no screen (screens trap lint), and the flap must open when the dryer runs and be kept clear of snow. Source: U.S. DOE Building America Solution Center (PNNL) - Proper Clothes Dryer Venting

Local Notes for Molalla
Most dryer calls in Molalla 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.
Oregon has no license issued specifically for appliance repair that we could confirm, but anyone installing or servicing liquefied petroleum (LP) gas appliances needs an LP gas fitter license from the Oregon State Fire Marshal. Source: Liquefied Petroleum Gas licensing (Oregon State Fire Marshal)
Businesses that install, alter or repair LP gas appliances, piping or vent connections need an LP gas installation license, and the individuals doing the work need a fitter license, both from the Oregon State Fire Marshal; natural gas licensing was not confirmed.
