Yeah gas and electric Dryer's that don't have crazy digital screens Are all easy to work on. I would say 80% of the issues you would run into are fixed for less than $100 in an hour of your time. Maybe another hour? Looking up the issues and ordering the parts. Most of the time there's even a local repair shop that has the parts.

I always say get a nice Fancy efficient front loader washer. Then get a bog standard big ass dryer with auto sense and without digital screens. A dryer unless it's a heat pump. One can't really be efficient. Besides, the ability to turn itself off when it detects the clothes are dry. It gets its efficiency by your washer. Ringing out all the water to where it doesn't have to do much work. So spend the money on the washer. I personally prefer LG washers with direct drives as they are actually pretty easy to work on and generally reliable and come with a 10-year warranty on the drive
