Dryer

A week ago on Friday, in my haste to hurry out the door I quickly placed a load of laundry in the dryer so that the clothes would not sit wet in the washer for a week while we were gone. Well I shut the door and turned the dryer on and turned to run up the stairs out the door into the van and off to the youth service......but my scarf was caught in the door and when I started to run it caught on a little black clip and broke it therefore causing my dryer not to turn on. I quickly laid out all of the clothes and left.

Well we came back from vacation but without a dryer, getting caught up on laundry is a little tough one load at a time when it takes at least a day to hang dry the load. So I asked Scott to fix it. He tried to open up the the dryer to see what the problem was, but couldn't figure it out and told me to call a repair man.

We just got back from vacation, I did not want to spend the money on a repair man. So to the internet I went. I got instructions on how to get the dryer open and figured out that it was the door activation switch that was broke. So I called around and talked to a few appliance folks got some advice and set to work fixing the dryer. I got it open and started fiddling around when Scott got in on the action. He found a man who sales whirlpool parts in Columbus who happened to be open at 8:30 this evening. We bought the new switch for $25 and it took probably 10 min. to install and get the dryer back together.

Now my dryer is fixed, there was no need to pay a repair man, and the internet saved the day yet again.

Catching up on Laundry,

PS - I just looked out the window and it looks as if I will have all day tomorrow to catch up on that laundry. There is already about 2 inches of snow on the ground with no break for at least another 12 hours according to the radar and weather woman.

Hoping for a snow day,
