clothes dryer maintenance

i found a link also about dryer maintenance, its pretty informative on what to do / how to deal with a dryer that refuses to work. remember to take notes, and maybe show your wife in case shes home alone and cant do the laundry. just use this link below.

Useful information for the homeowner! Similar techniques will work on other household appliances, esp. recalcitrant computers!

Always wanting to be helpful, I wipe the clothes line off before the wife hangs them out to dry. Easy maintenance.

Uh, guys-

That's a WASHING MACHINE, not a dryer. Dryers have the door in the FRONT, washers have the door on top.

I've found a Ping 7 iron works especially well on recalitrant computers.

I think I need to show that video clip to some of my customers that want their 30 year old appliance fixed. They will ask what should they do, fix or replace, maybe this would give them a clue.
