Dear Oppo
I recently started having trouble with my dryer. Early on I remember checking the vent from the outl et and it seemed clear. Then I started checking fuses and other stuff. Never quite figured out what was wrong . Well; I just went and purchased a dryer. Came home and started disconnecting the vent tube from the back and getting it ready for pickup; and family of chipmunks was in the dryer. I cleaned out the three of them and low and behold my dryer fired up for the first time in two weeks.
It’s pretty gross and I hate to imagine them dying like that.
Now for the real question though; should I cancel the dryer I bought to replace this one?

Over 20 years if I had to guess.

If the old one is
really
old with knobs and like two settings, keep the old one. Cancel the new one.

make sure the outside vent has a cage over it to prevent animals from getting in.

You've hit the lifespan of that thing. You're on borrowed time. If you got a good deal, keep it

Everything else aside, this right here is the important information. Time for a new one.

I decided to just keep the order in place.

They just don’t make them like they used to. I have a 20 year old washer and dryer in a rental, that has never had any issues. Meanwhile at my house a dryer doesn’t last 5 years. And I only do laundry once a week now that I'm a bachelor again.

Likewise, the new one is on borrowed time the minute it’s plugged in.....

We’ve had enough new Dryer’s of various makes that I’ll take my chances with a 20 yo one anyday.
*loads up 25 yo dryer and walks away*
