How deep is a grounding rod have to go into the ground?
Check to make sure the lint trap is lint free, The hose from the back of the dryer leading out of your house is clear and lint free. And that the heating element is working. Oh and the heat setting is on MED and not LOW.
It is not clear what you want to do. Battery is not drainage when car is off for a good long period.
Do not go home alone again, there must be somewhere you can go to until your parents get home. Tell your teacher about this, or tell someone you trust. Could you go to the Library? The Mall? Stay at school until your parents pick you up? Go to a friend's house? Go to your Aunt or Uncle's house? Could a friend come to your house with you after school? Could you borrow someones dog which will bark if anyone comes near your house? I would never allow my daughter to be home alone after something frightening like that had happened. If, for whatever reason, you must go home and be alone until your parents get home, then make sure all the doors and windows are locked, get call-display and if this person comes near your house again, call the police again and keep doing it every time you see him. They must take you seriously.
Check for a build up of lint in the exhaust duct, an excessive build up will block air flow. Also 220VAC electric dryers use different legs of the electrical supply. (two 110VAC legs tied via a common neutral make 220 VAC) One 110VAC leg runs the motor and controls while the other supplies power to the heater. It is possible that one side of the 220VAC has a blown fuse and is not supplying power to the heater element. Other possibilities: Blown out heater - requires replacement There is a safety switch attached to the shaft of the motor. THis switch relys on centrifical force to close and is intened to kill the power to the heater if the motor and its attached blower stop turning. If the motor is not turning fast enough of the switch is worn then it is possible that power to the heater circuit is not being completed. It doesn't take must of a speed reduction to cause a problem. Lint build up on the drum bearings can cause enough drag to slow the drum slightly. Combined with a worn/dirty switch and the switch fails to operate. Finally there is a blower attached to the motor shaft. The blower is made of plastic and somtimes the blower comes loose on the shaft. Usually you hear a rattling sound or sounds after the dryer drum stops as the loose spinning blower spins to a stop. ( A tight blower stops with the dryer drum) A loose blower doesn't move enough air and causes your dryer to run longer.
lint stop up maybe if you have heat check the back or inside for lint if it gets hot it has to have a way to let it out to dry better
