After what felt like an hour trying to get the back off I decided to check the internet to see how much it would be to have a repairman come and look at it. (Note: We have had this dryer for a long time and it is old but it worked fine before.) I found out that it would be $65 to have someone look at it and then about $100 for parts (assuming it was a belt that needed to be fixed).
I went to craigslist.com and found a dryer for $65. That night after work we borrowed my parents trailer and went to LaVerkin to pick up our new-to-us dryer for $65. It is the same model as the dryer we had before this one (we swap laundry machines around in my family so I think my sister ended up with it but I'm not sure). After getting it all hooked up (thanks to Bryan!!) it works great and I only had to go without a dryer for the day.
I will be sad to see them haul this old one away but I am happy to have one that works.
