Laundry Gremlins

We went to the Sherwood Family Reunion last week in Montana. Sandy, my sister-in-law, spent a good portion of our last day there doing laundry because her washing machine quit just prior to leaving for the reunion.

One week later ...

The laundry gremlins struck at our house - killing my dryer (or at least the motor).

Don came home at noon and investigated the possibilities of buying a new motor and fixing the dryer ($120 + shipping) or buying a new dryer (for $400 or less).

But wait, another solution presented itself. KSL Classifieds!! We could get that same brand name dryer slightly used and save a bundle!

$75 and 6 hours later, we had dismantled 2 dryers, reassembled one dryer in excellent working condition using all of the good parts from both dryers, and had a lot of fun in the process!

Who knew that the inside of a Kenmore dryer and a Whirlpool dryer are exactly the same!?!
Z enjoyed swapping parts.

He even found some time to play.

My Hero!
