Why Dryers Break Down

Check the Vent Before You Call
Clean the vent pipe roughly once a year, or sooner if loads start taking longer to dry; a lint removal service can do this. Source: NFPA (via U.S. Department of Energy) - Clothes Dryer & Washing Machine Safety
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
Under the model residential code approach, a 4-inch dryer exhaust duct is limited to 35 feet of equivalent length, minus 2.5 feet for each 45-degree bend and 5 feet for each 90-degree bend, unless the dryer manufacturer's installation instructions set a different maximum.

Around Chalco
Most dryer calls in Chalco 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.
Nebraska does not license appliance repair technicians at the state level; contractors working on other people's property register with the Department of Labor, and trade licenses such as plumbing are handled by cities and villages. Source: Nebraska Department of Labor: Who Needs to Register
In Nebraska, you can check a license with the Nebraska Department of Labor contractor registration (Search Registered Contractors and Subcontractors) or report a problem to the Nebraska Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division.
