Thanks. I'll try the gauges (it was getting dark so I had to quit last evening). I had the impression that there was no flow through the system. Maybe the dryer is plugged? As I recall, the dryer was normally quite warm during normal operation nut it was cold (ambient). For Mitch, I saw no damage to the radiator.
