The Whirlpool dryer has a Type #DALP-ELE-2406024-EL54 on the sticker on inside of the door. In the instruction manual, can I use the Long Vent System Chart or do I have to use the Standard Vent System Chart? I can't tell. The vent hose may have to be quite long to vent out of the house. Thanks!

very loud squeeling sound
The issue was the idler pulley. First I began opening up the front panel based on a youtube video but soon realized the model was slightly different and required a lot more items to remove. I saw the pulley in the back with nothing in the way so I put the front panel crap back on and removed the rear panel. There it was, very simple to remove and replace. I'm not looking forward to drum rollers though. Hopefully they're aren't as difficult as they appear.

My Dryer Was Not Heating Up.
I asked for advise, looked around and priced heating elements and thermostats. This was the best combo offered for the price given. It was shipped and received it very quick. Installed it and 5 minutes later, she was running like a champ!
