eddo Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 The belt for the dryer was broken, $16 later and about 20 minutes of my time and I had them a 2 year old washer/dryer set, I wonder at how some people don't even try to fixt stuff. Unless the heating element is shot, a dryer is almost always repairable. they are very basic machines. I bought mine used 9 years ago and have never had an issue. My washer is about 20 years old (it was my parents before it was mine) and between my dad and I, we have changed some gears, some belts, and a water fitting. the most expensive repair was like $14 on it. The thing is a beast! Quote I'm trusted by more women.
mercury Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 they don't make them like that anymore... what brand is it? I'm looking for a used set, so I won't feel so put out when/if I leave it behind. Quote
timesjoke Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 The set I fixed was Whirlpool, I usually buy Kenmore appliances myself, not so much for quality but because they always come with a complete parts breakdown so I can fix them myself. Quote

I think they are both Kenmore. the dryer may be a whirlpool though... Quote I'm trusted by more women.
mercury Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 I've always had good luck with Kenmore appliances, too. My first set was a 25 year old hand me down set from my uncle... other than a bad thermostat on the dryer, they were also beasts. The thermostat was no big deal, even not repaired. I just had to give it a 20 minute break to cool down every couple loads, then back to business. Quote
Ahhlee Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 The last time ours wouldn't drain, Chris was ready to call a repair guy. I diagnosed it for him, then made him pull the thing apart. All it took to fix it was a whack on the pump with a BFS (big fukking screwdriver). I hate paying for repairs. Update: Eating a 1/2 cup of watermelon and listening to my "Spinal Tap Back From the Dead" cd. Ok, was it here or somewhere else that I heard the story about a group of people who met on Twitter and then decided to meet up in real life? And while they sat in the restaurant, they barely interacted with one another but "twittered" about their meal and meeting through their cell phones instead? LOL! I think we should do that. We should all meet up, avoid one another in person, and yak in the shout box via our cellphones rather than engage in actual conversation And eddo's buying. Quote
emkay64 Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 Fuk! Looks like I spoke too soon. Dammit...let me do one load of frikkin wash and got the stupid LE error again. Mine is an LG which I love...I've had it for 5 years with no issues, but now it keeps spitting out this fukking error code. I did the diagnostic and the drum isn't spinning...two possibilities...but I'm fukking annoyed. Either a new PWB assembly, or something for the stator. I can buy them all for the cost of the service call, but dammit, I just wanted it to work. It teased me to boot! Oh...and I don't twitter, twatter or twaddle. I can carry any conversation. I'm good with the uncomfortable silence thing. Quote
