I swear to god, doesn't it always seem like once you seem to get ahead just a bit, that life kicks you right back down?

I hope this fucking thing can be fixed, cause I REALLY don't want to shell out new dryer kind of money.

Don't worry about it

maybe you can 'win' one on ebay.....

that does kinda blow

At least it wasn't the washer. Better to have wet clean clothes than dry dirty ones.

What the hell is wrong with it? Mine broke awhile ago too...it wouldn't get
hot. There was a fuse that needed replacing.

Actually, the same one is broken right now too...dammit...but it's just the
timer. The damn thing won't shut off. I can't leave the house with it running or else it may overheat!

That sounds like a broken belt...they are fairly cheap, but finding someone to put it in will be the trick.

Revolution said:

I'll be having the repairman coming tomorrow. Yahooo.

jerseykrs said:

Repairmen....$$$$$

When my belt broke, I was able to find a friend of my mother's to help me out with the thing.

Well, hopefully you'll have dry clothes tomorrow...nothing worse than that
musty moldy smell on your clothes.

mayhaps it will be a female repair person

BTW...our electric/gas co here in Michigan offers this program that runs you $20 a month. It covers all of your main appliances...refrig, stove, washer, dryer, hot water heater, furnace, etc...if they break down, they will fix or replace them at no cost. Next day service too....why don't I have this?

I swear I thought I read blowdryer....

Put the clothes on and run around the house for an hour.

It sux when the dryer breaks down. That has happened to me twice within the past 5 or 6 weeks. I've had to call a repairman twice for the same issue; hopefully now the problem has been rectified. I hope you get your dryer problems solved quickly.

Just put the clothes infront of the heater instead.

hang 'em out to dry outside on a clothes line

You can pick up a new dryer for pretty cheap... Well, maybe not new, but there shouldn't be much of a reason for you shell out more than $60 for a used one. Quit snivelling, Chrispy. At least you have a dryer. And a washer. You're way ahead of some of us.

I drove past a house where they laid out all their laundry on the perimeter fence and hedges.

...tacky...tacky...tacky.

That's what I was going to say, but it depends on weather conditions outside. Right now we're having monsoon season.

At least you have a dryer - I went to do laundry today & FORGOT that I needed quarters Of course I didn't have enough quarters

Does everyone in America use a drier? We hang clothes out on a washing line over here (or, if it's raining I hang them on a rack indoors) - I think I've used the drier part of my washer/drier about three times in five years

Probably b/c it's faster & there's less chance of your clothes being stolen

CalhounSq said:

Wasn't there a change machine? Or an attendant with quarters? Laundry mats must be different where you are....

Those fake italians

jerseykrs said:

good thing you got a raise, huh?

Reincarnate said:

I think most people do use dryers these days. Some towns have ordinances that prohibit hanging your laundry out to dry.
Personally, I'd like to dry my sheets outside but there's no where to hang them here.

CortestheKiller said:

Noooo, it's the laundry room in my building - no attendants, no quarters
