So, you may remember that I got a new washer and dryer back In October of 2022 .
The dryer stopped heating, so I went to my resources at you tube and tried the suggested fixes.
I always take pictures of what I'm doing so I can put it back together again. Funny thing, all the DIY folks start out by saying, "remove the 8 screws on the back" oddly, mine has 20 screws.
Sheesh! Anyways, the whole thing was just a catastrophe! I wanted to get the heating element out, so I could ensure I was ordering the correct one, but the screws that hold it in are from the INSIDE of the frame!
I give up! Wonderful Hubs, says to me, "You don't like that dryer anyways, and besides that it makes that annoying noise, just order a new one!" I ordered a new dryer from LOWE'S......
But as I already know, and I should listen to myself, Lowe's will mess up somehow...and they did! I ordered a dryer on Tuesday for delivery on Thursday. Confirmed-THURSDAY, Today I check my email to see what time they could arrive, and it says Delivery On Tuesday-NEXT TUESDAY!! NOOOOO! So I called the service number and tried not to scream at the person, and ended up cancelling the order. I'm not waiting 6 days to get a dryer! SO I flip to the Menards web page and find almost the same dryer for STORE PICK UP!
I know, I know, if you want something done, you gotta do it yourself. That's me The Red Hen. So I took Ringo for his walk
We saw a deer.....see it?
Anyways, Then I headed out to Menards to pick up my dryer. Thankfully, they did a good job and had it ready to go in just a few minutes.
Unloaded it and Started the electrical cord assembly.
TA DA! All done, ready to move out of the heat! It's about 90degrees in the garage today! I'm hauling the old one to the dump for recycling. Then I'll move the new one inside when I get back!
It fits! I did measure, but that door knob is always in the way!
Squeezed the new vent pipe in there-it's a new one and very flexible! The metal-ish kind won't flex enough to fit in the space, so this is good!
And here it is! I need to adjust the leveling feet a little bit, but it's good for now.
Now we'll see how this one does. Here's hoping for the long haul, because I don't want to install another one!
I popped in to Lowes and picked up a couple of heirloom plants-this nice big one called the mortgage lifter. But dang look at this-some critter has been having my tomato plant for supper!!!!
I HAD a 4 pack of another kind of tomato too-look at this! There's nothing left but one plant and a tiny little nubbin!
