Appliance / Dryer help

[blatant]

All of a sudden, my "fancy" LG dryer that I got a few years ago from Home Depot seems to be tripping the breaker. It's not clogged up etc, but don't really know where to start. Are any of you good with appliances or do you have a recommended handy man (or do I need electrician/ have bad breaker -- would handy man know how to test breaker etc??) that you can speak for? Want it done / diagnosed correctly with a reliable source.

This started w/in the last couple weeks and was never an issue in years past, but can't get thru a cycle on any setting, with even a small, "non heavy" load, before the breaker trips.

Thanks

Curious if this turned out to be a loose lug on the breaker? I know when I worked residential HVAC this was a common problem with aluminum wiring.

@Living in the Past. Bad Breaker. @LandCruiserPhil provided sage advice and all is squared away. No AL, all copper.
