Thanks for the suggestions. :)

After the large chunks were removed, the remaining gum was in little threads all around the drum. We tried using ice, but the gum was too thin. It got 'wet', but wouldn't chip off .

Wal-Mart was out of Crud Cutter (must've been a big week for gum in the dryer?)

DH finally took a scrubbie from the kitchen sink and applied "Goo Gone".  Then he went back and made sure all the "Goo Gone" was out and ran the dryer empty to make sure we didn't get any on the clothing. This got rid of about 99% of the gum.

He's considering removing the drum this weekend and using the Power Washer on it to get the last bits of gum out. But nothing is sticking to the clothing, which is good enough for me right now.

Again, thanks for all the suggestions!
