The LDE8706ACE rewards a methodical look: the vent run and whether the timer advances on automatic, then the parts that actually fail. Parts for this family are usually available, but they are matched by plate rather than by the base number.
An owner can reasonably handle clearing the lint screen and keeping the duct short and straight. Past that the risk is electrical, and the manufacturer’s warranty terms are worth reading before anybody opens the cabinet.
