The stain may be permanent, but the first priority is to remove all of the crayon residue. Crayon is wax based, so anything that dissolves or softens wax will help remove it, but be aware that some of these things are flammable [like paint thinner] and somewhat toxic.
First thing I would try is Zep Purple degreaser. It is a concentrated version of the same active ingredient in Fantastic but it isn't flammable. Use rubber gloves and a non scratch scrub sponge.

Try diluting it about 2 parts water to one of the concentrate at first, if that doesn't work try adding a little more concentrate. Full strength may take the shiny finish off of you dryer drum.
You probably want to use a face mask while using it; get one for paint odors or organic vapors.

You should take off the vent hose and try to get as much of the crayon out of the vent passageways.
If the degreaser doesn't work try orange oil cleaner

If the orange oil cleaner doesn't work, odorless paint thinner may, but it will have to dry first and you will have to make sure you have all fumes out of the dryer before using it. Put a fan on the open dryer for 8 or more hours.
After you get it as clean as you can, run a few loads of things that won't matter like work clothes or jeans.

ok get a credit card or other card of the same style, and scrape off the majority of the crayon as much as possible. then get a hair dryer and melt the crayon with the hair dryer, then u can get it up easier with ajax or comet and a damp sponge. repeat if needed.

Sorry but after5 kids, no I have not found anyway to remove melted crayon.

If drain hose is connected to a standpipe check that it's inserted no more than 4". You may be getting a syphoning situation that is allowing gray water to contaminate clean clothes.

To remove melted crayon from upholstery:
1. Scrape away melted wax from the upholstery as much as you can using a blunt knife. 2. Put a brown paper, or butcher paper (glossy side down) on top of the affected area then using the tip of a hot flat iron, melt the crayon until it stick to the paper. 3. Let the paper cool then lift it away gently from the upholstery. 4. Dab a small amount of denatured alcohol to remove any remaining stains then finally clean the affected area with sponge and water.
Hope this help. Goodluck!

Hi and thank you for using fixya:

I suggest that in order to get the crayon stain out you use kaboom stain remover. It is very strong and works for me on stains, you can get it at your local supermarket.

Thanks

You now have hot melted wax coating EVERYTHING, I bet.

First, unplug your dryer, for safety.
Now take some turpentine or wd-40 and dampen a cloth with it.
Scrub, scrub away.
once it's clean(will take a LOT of elbow grease), you'll want to clean up the solvent.
A wash-cloth, dampened with soapy water, will do a pretty good job here.
Finally, leave the machine OPEN for a good solid day/night.
This lets any fumes remaining from the solvent escape.
this is important, if you don't want to blow up your dryer when you next start it up.
