At $200.00 plus for repair parts even assuming you do the repairs yourself, you are pushing the limits for a dryer. If you pay someone to do it you are beyond it's value.

My chicks a trooper so I know she'd be game. First time I had a dryer with something like a 100.00 control board, and it went out, I'd just kludge a timer switch in a junction box on top of the "dash". Dryers are stupid appliances- as stupid as a range, and don't need but the most basic circuitry to work. A timer, a thermostat, elements, a motor and a belt. If you want to get fancy, a humistat. There is no reason for a dryer to have a circuit board except to cost you money.
