Got the dryer all fixed and the Wife is happy.
Problems ????
When the repair man was loading up the machine to take to his shop, he saw that the gasket that fits around the back of the drum had come off. He commented that he did not think he had any glue to fix that.....but don't worry because he had other drums at his shop.
When the dryer was brought back, he hooked it up and I but some clothes in it to dry. He said that the problem was in the main timer and one of the "contacts" inside was not working.The man said that switch cost $ 55 and $ 35 for one hour labor, but $ 80 would be enough to pay. That was great with me.
When my Wife walked in a little later after they had left she went near the dryer and said.....do you hear that. I don't hear "high pitch" sounds very well, but she does. The dryer did sound slightly louder to me....but what do I know----it was working, that is all I cared about.
Later when she took the clothes out......she called.....to come see. The man had installed a different drum and it was "much" dirtier and had a "terriable" smell. IMO, it was kindof dirty but only a faint smell.
She was not happy!!!!!!
I called the repareman......he said he would have get some glue in the morning and then he would come replace the drum.
He came just after lunch today and installed the original drum. This drum is ~3 years old, and is a little dirty.....but not as much as the other drum. And ours does not have a smell. This drum does run a little quieter.
Now the wife is Happy!!!!!!!
Also, yesterday while the repairman was here......I had him take the washer maching agitator apart because the top part was not moving. He said the "clutch dogs" were bad. We found that these plastic parts were broken and he replace them with some used ones that he had in his truck. They were worn but did try to "grip" when turning the agitator by hand.
After doing this additional work......was when he asked for $ 80 dollars payment.
This morning when I called him to find out when he would be coming.....he told me he would also be bringing some new clutch dogs.
After he finished today.......I asked him what I owed him and he said $ 20.
So for $ 100, he fixed both the Washer and Dryer.
I would give him a "GOOD" rating. My Wife was not happy about him putting in and "OLD, SMELLY" durm in the dryer. She and I talked about "HIM" and we agreeed that if we ever needed repairs again....we would give him a call.
