ETA--This may qualify as the most helpful post I've ever given. And the most yawn-inspiring.

No, it's gas. Gas dryers are MUCH more efficient that electric: up to 30% more efficient, actually. I tried unkinking the vent, etc, and that didn't work. It looks to me that the igniting element is shot, which means that repairing the dryer will me almost as costly as buying a new one. Looks like another trip to home depot and/or lowes is in order...
