Roper Heavy Duty Super Capacity RGS7648SQ0

I have this Roper, which is made by the same company that makes Whirlpool. This is a heavy duty super capacity dryer. I purchased it at Lowe’s around four years ago. I love it because it has a huge front loading door so that I don’t have to deal with all the top thing.
The fact that the front door is so big makes it really easy to not only put clothes in it, but also blankets and anything else you might have. Although, I do have to say that when you’re trying to dry shoes and even use the tricks that some people use to try it, it won’t work on this dryer.
There are some great settings; you have the normal ones with time, but there are some also automatic ones that figure out how damp your clothes are and you can select how dry you want them and it’ll turn off when it reaches that. That’s great when you’re not going to be around when it’s done. What makes it even better is that when the buzzer goes off, if you don’t take the clothes out it will start the dryer up again to make sure that your clothes aren’t wrinkled.
There are also some great no heat options that allow you to just tumble, but I’m not sure what it’s used for and haven’t really used it.
Since I purchased this, I have had to replace my washer one already, but no the dry. Although, I have a feeling that it’s not going to last much longer because some things are happening that show signs of it dying. I now can’t really load it fully or else the heat element won’t kick on.
I have make sure that there’s a reasonable amount of clothes in there, but not the super capacity anymore. I’m not sure what the problem is or if it can get fixed, but I do see that I should be getting a new dryer soon.
If I was going to buy this dry, I would probably buy from the same company. I don’t think that there’s anything bad about the dryer and enjoy some of the features of it. I looked at some of them that have digital stuff all over it, but I’m not sure what it’s used for. I like how this one works and I like the company that makes it.
