Fixed my dryer
Bought the dryer used 19 yrs ago. It was making a bad thunking sound. Since I have previously replaced one of the rubber wheels on which the drum rides, I figured that was the problem. Sure enough, one of the rubber wheels, which just rides on a metal bushing on a metal shaft was ovaled out. $26 for a new set of wheels, an hours work, and I'm back in business with a spare wheel in reserve. Hoping for another 19 yrs.
There has to be a hell of a profit margin on dryers because there's not much too them. |

Fixed mine a couple years ago. The hardest was figuring out which panel to take off for the right access. After 3 tries I found it :D.

I swear some people buy those $1,000 dryers as a status symbol.

The heating element is relatively easy too, and cheap if you find it on eBay.

I've actually been just hanging our clothes out to dry. Got a nice drying rack from IKEA and we use mostly wool or synthetics. |

When you can your better off hanging up your cloths to dry, they get less wrinkles and last longer. Thats what I do in the summer. |
dude... I was at lowes and they have some stoves that are $3k... Its a double stove with ball bearing racks that slide out, LED lights, etc etc..

I have fixed our dryer twice and the washer once since we have been in our house.

Good stoves cost a lot more than that...$10k-$15k. I have been in houses where the owners spent the better part of $30k...on the fridge and stove...:eek:
Those built in Viking fridge's suck though, my friend has one and it breaks all the time. |
