I think she's talking about a chunk of ice from the freezer...

Had this same problem when one of the kids left bubblegum in her pocket. Didn't have any goo gone so I tried WD40. It worked! But make sure the dryer isn't hot (WD40 is flammable) and be sure to clean the dryer drum really well with soap and water before you try to use it again (and leave the door open for a while just to let any fumes escape). Good luck.

No suggestion, but now in case DH does that (or me) I'll know what to do. No I won't I'll be on the board asking.

gum in my hair... lighter fluid worked AWESOME. If it's in the dryer, I'd probably use brake parts cleaner (my hubby is a car freak so its always around and completely evaporates, although some of them don't smell so pleasant). Good luck!!!
