I figured what you said about the gadjet ...
but maybe the clothes getting dryer was just
imagination....but at least now I can tell the
lady at the appliance store what it really is
for....
and like I said it only cost me $15 for the kit
which didn't include the hoses...just the 'monkey
rubber', the plastic cone, the plastic grid thing and 2 hose clamps....still high but after 20-25
years with that being the only part.
But I think I might have outsmarted them on the Maytag dryer...it was making hell of a racket..
turned out the blower hub was made of plastic and it was slipping on the shaft....that was about
5 years ago....well I'm not about to replace that
plastic hubbed pulley every 10 or 20 years no
matter how cheap....I just don't like to have the wife yelling out every 5 years or so about the
washer or dryer or heater or furnace not working
just when I'm involved in a project out in the
shop...not that I don't mind helping her ....
but sometimes it just don't have to be that way !
.....so I just cut out the plastic hub...cut a
metal hub from a metal pulley and pop-riveted it
in and it's been 5 yrs. now (knock on wood)and
still seems to be running pretty quiet.
That was when I was 70 now that I'm almost 75
....I think when it goes I'll either get a new
one or a 'solar dryer'.
Thanks for the enlightment Volvo...I appreciate
it !
