Oh, regarding the burned spot, if the coil failed because it picked up lint, that burned on, insulated/heated up more from the lint catching fire/whatever, bending the coil outwards could actually make it more likely to catch lint/whatever. No idea with your dryer if that chance is better or worse than the possible benefits of spreading, just a thought.

Some greases are incompatible, and not cleaning thoroughly causes them to react chemically and cause issue, but unless you're in that situation, you don't need to clean super well.
Second tangentially off topic reply by me, but hey, it's chat.
Something I encounter more often is rather the opposite. When people come to you with problems, (especially technology related, but it fits all types) it's often "what's the solution to this weird specific thing?" and that weird specific thing turns out to be a result of them being part way through solving a problem their own weird way, because they neglected to consider the hammer situation.
In your case I'd be like if you asked me for skateboard grip tape to attach to the cap because it's too hard to pull off.
A good technique is to do what you did, recognize something might be wrong here, and try re-understand the original problem, feel good about recognizing it, not foolish for misunderstanding at first.
When I was <5, I was a firefighter for Halloween. Apparently my mom wanted me to stop bothering her and she told me to go fight a fire. Apparently plastic axes can break windows, at least thin ones on a greenhouse. That is what firefighters do though...
If by any chance you have tmobile, they have a coupon for free crazy bread with purchase of pizza every week, and occasionally $3 pizza's coupons.
And if you're a family all on tmobile... Whooohooooo!
I mean, which that's a problem I guess, what banks don't support checking the balance online these days? How often does anyone go to random atms to check their balance? Seems like a problem that banks don't have enough reason to improve.
It's always hard to decipher poor English, but that does seem possible. If you have a multimeter, plugging the socket into a cable would at least allow you to verify the ground and +5v easily. The data etc pins should be doable too, by using a USB A to C cable, and doing a continuity check to the pins inside the USB A side, which would be easy to look up reliably.
As far as swapping the wires around in the plug, that's one of the easiest plugs to do it with. If you do need to, you'll be able to.
If the wires are indeed arranged in the wrong order, but would otherwise be work, popping the individual sockets out and rearranging them is actually quite easy. You just need to either pry the little plastic tabs from the the outside or stick a sewing needle inside, and they should slide out fairly easily. If implementing the sewing needle, it often bends the little metal tab out of the way, and you'll want to tweak it back with the needle before reinserting in the right slot.
The fact that phones haven't been able to to this easily/natively/what have you is wild. Similarly, the fact that you can't use old tablets as external monitors without, in my experience of quite a few, significantly buggy software that's got significant lag in the best of times, is pretty wild. Sure, the technical hurdles aren't small, but damn.
I've got a reasonably high end newish tablet (Galaxy S7+) that I can use miracast to use wirelessly as an extra PC monitor. It works quite well... if I'm near to a high quality new router. But can I just plug the tablet in and use it as a monitor with my laptop? Not remotely well.
It's been a year or two, maybe I should check for new software again.
Depending on context, value is also often required. That can be in the form of nutrition, taste, flavor, preservation, or appearance. Take edible gold leaf, sugar free fairly nutrition free candies, spices, or hot sauce as examples. Their ingredients too, there's wood fiber derivatives used as fillers sometimes.
On the flip side, a gold wedding band can pass through a digestive tract quite safely, and is materially identical to edible gold leaf. Generally not considered edible though. A sheaf of printer paper? Not edible. Some small paper wrappings, often edible. Similarly a marble would pass through with no danger unless chewed. In many ways safer than a very strong hot sauce or some baking ingredients. And yet...
Edible is quite a wiggly term.
This is a delight piece of work, and well worth the research needed to make it.
Sometimes you have to draw a line in the sand about strange low-stakes terminology opinions you're passionate about.
I had a similarly passionate "what counts as a jumpsuit" debate not too long ago. The key difference in opinions was about sleeve length.
I will begrudgingly call a jumpsuit with short sleeves a jumpsuit, but once it has no sleeves at all it cannot hold the title anymore. Jumpsuits were designed as full body garments for jumping out of planes, fancy dress overalls just aren't jumpsuits, regardless of the slow bastardization of the term fashion has allowed. There's no great title for it, overalls shares a similar niche but not quite. Romper also comes close, but requires shorts, not full length legs.
Thanks for the rant.
A related article linked inside that one that lists the most expensive keywords to buy ad space for is absolutely shocking.
Imagine paying Google over $1000 because someone visits your website.
Kinda makes me want to Google some maritime accident lawyers and who knows, MLMs and essential oil charlatans and sow a little mayhem. Although is siphoning money from scummy MLMs to scummy Google even a net bonus?
