It certainly has a fan. Look into the drum, and behind the perforated back wall you’ll see two holes. One is the exhaust (on our Sears-made-by-Whirlpool 35yo gas dryer it’s the one on the right), and the other admits heated air that is moved by a blower underneath the drum on the left, IIRC.
About 15 years ago one of the bearings holding the drum up was noisy; so I replaced both bearings, the drive belt, and cleaned and lubed everything. I’m not as agile as I was then, so I hope I don’t have to do that again. Rick > On Mar 4, 2021, at 1:41 PM, John <jsessoms...@nc.rr.com> wrote: > > When did you buy the dryer? Who made it?
