We replace appliances with grit teeth. We bought an ASKO dryer several years ago with cautions that it would probably be too small for many of our large or heavy loads. It is a PEACH! I have yet to have it underperform and somehow dries king sized sheets without bunching them into footballs. LOVE IT!

What do you dislike about front loaders? The tendency to mold, the stooping over, or both?
I know you donât need to try to repair, but just wanted to mention for future reference or in case someone else sees the same symptoms.
There are two identical relays in many dryers. One directs power to the drum tumble motor and the other to the heater. They run about $20-25.
So one can access behind the control panel, pop them off, and swap positions. If now the drum wonât turn, itâs the relay.
Iâve never had the heater itself on a dryer actually fail, just the relay on a couple of them.

Happens in threesâŚ
sinkhole in the yard, last week a circuit failure in the baths that I couldnât trace, and nothing tripped (ended up calling electrician), and then this week the sewer line backed up and made a mess and me with my peewee non-powered snake out at the line access couldnât find any obvious blockage, gave up and called plumber. (And heâs got a lot more work to do)
I just had a remediation company out for an estimate ($2500) to disinfect the fairly minor mess in the (finished) basement and was disappointed to learn they dont sanitize carpet, they remove the soiled area and disinfect under it.
So weâll have to see if this carpet is still available and a carpet crew can blend a patch in.
Tuesday the geotech engineers come and see whatâs causing my ground cover subsidence, whether they can get at the cause and then fill/raise, and how many (tens of) thousands of bucks thatâs going to cost me.

On the appliance mode . Picked up a very well taken care of GE fridge today . Side by side . Clean . With that water and ice dispenser. $ 100 . I had to put some super man moves to get it into the house by myself. Now I wont have to go to the garage fridge. The one in the house was a nice Kenmore side by side .
The fridge only got to 51 degrees.
Iâll cut the other one up to get it out if needed. Lol

We tackled Moby Dick in honors English my junior year in high school, and it was one of the classics I actually enjoyed reading. Not as much as Slaughterhouse Five, but still. I especially liked all the whaling chapters, which most folks find the most tedious. I thought it was fascinating.
Compared to Hawthorneâs The Scarlet Letter or Turgenevâs Fathers and Sons, Moby Dick was a thrilling adventure.
I ended up writing my final AP paper my senior year on how Vonnegut related back to the early existentialists and absurdists like Camus and Ionesco.

WOW!! When it rains⌠it pours.
Sorry to hear about all that. The sinkhole would worry me the most. Can they inject concrete grout under the house to protect the foundation??
