The LDE8404ACE is a electric dryer whose faults tend to show up at the heating element or igniter, thermostat or thermal fuse long before anything else gives trouble. Reading the plate first avoids the common problem of a part that fits the family but not the build.
The safe owner steps here are clearing the lint screen and keeping the duct short and straight. Removing panels, testing components or touching wiring is technician work, and doing it yourself can affect warranty coverage.
