josh

so our dryer is broken.

This is what we have been reduced to:

living room clothesline holla

The scary thing is, when I turned around from putting up my clothes I saw Scott doing this:

night traps

Maybe it's a good thing he's leaving soon.

when i was a kid my mom would dry our clothes by hanging them on a clothesline in the spring and summer.

we'd get a nice fresh pine smell.

If I were you I'd have the house inspected when this guy moves out.
I think he's only leaving because all of his attempts on your life have failed, and he is resorting to a rather extreme last resort.
Remember... I have dreams that predict the future!

Is he setting a tripwire?

Actually, I was using safety wire, so really I am only looking out for everyone's safety. If anything, it is a 'safetywire'.

What's up with the dryer? Drum, dial/timing mechanism, or motor?

Nothing happens when you press "dry".

Did you check the circuit breaker? DOH!

[Reply To this] [#163952]

josh [email] said at 4:36 PM 03-28-2005:
its on the same one as the washer, and that works... which is why i had to make a clothesline.

also, yes, we checked it.

Maybe the hamster inside it died. You'll need to get another one and release it into the dryer vent. Makes sure when it's in the tube that you're holding down the "dry" button so that the vent valve is open and the hamster can take its rightful place.

Josh is quite trained in releasing hamsters into holes. Just ask Kiche, otherwise known as "Tiddlywinks."

Maybe that's "Lemmewinks." I don't know.

When I moved in, there was no dryer vent. The exhaust just blew out the back of the dryer into the wall. It ruled, but I figured we should wait a little longer to burn the place down. T Minus 15 days and counting.

That's the way it was for the last 5 years at least.

From Whirlpool:

Dryer will not run

Check the following:

1. Is the power cord plugged in?
2. Has a fuse blown, or has circuit breaker tripped?
3. Was a regular fuse used? Use a time-delay fuse.
4. Is the dryer door firmly closed?
5. Was the START button firmly pressed?
6. Is a cycle selected?

Gee, isn't that helpful?

Seriously though, when you close the door there is a little bingit® or whosiwhatsit® that determines that the door is closed so the drier can start. Figure out how this is done on your dryer (it might be the hinge that does it) and see if the bingit broken off/plugged up or the prong on the door is busted off

I like the "time-delayed fuse" one. That way your dryer has a few seconds to spark and ignite several years' worth of piled up dryer lint.

My guess is that the dryer time-set dial has gotten old and something in it cracked or shorted out. Replacing the full dial will likely solve the problem.

A dryer's pretty much the sum of a motor, belt, drum, timing switch mechanism, a start button and a few switches/contacts.

If it were the belt, then you'd probably hear a motor spinning and see the dial move over time. If the motor burned out, then the dial would still likely move unless the whole things's shot. The contacts and swtiches generally don't get too messed up, but could be a source.

josh [email] said at 5:12 PM 03-28-2005:
I checked the door thingie, my first thought. Seemed fine.

It could be a fuse but I see no obvious place where one would be. I guess I could yank it out and check behind.

jeff [email] said at 1:11 AM 03-29-2005:
I don't know of too many dryers with fuses. I had the impression that they were talking about fuses in the house's electrical box.

Hmm, well I don't think it's the fuse in the wall... but who knows!

How often do you clean out the lint filter? Who am I kidding, I know nothing 'bout machines but I've seen dryers stop working 'cuz of too much crud in the lint filter.

[Reply To this] [#164020]

josh [email] said at 9:09 PM 03-28-2005:
if you mean the part you can pull out, every time i dry anything... if there is some other lint filter somewhere.... uh.. never i guess?
