The Dryer Saga Continues

January 4th, 2020 at 11:45 pm

And the dryer issue continues.
I called a second electrician come out and check the electric, I’m just paranoid, and he said all was fine. He didn’t charge me a fee for coming out so I tipped him $20.

The second dryer I receive was used and the other one was over 10 years old, so it must be the dryers. All in all this has been a headache.

Though I have the funds in my home repair account, I’m going to try and pay with cash using the money from the side gig to purchase the dryer. I was hoping to throw that money at CC10 💳 but Murphy decided to visit. These last two months I’ve shelled out a ton, but I’m thankful I have the cash. My washer has been on the brink as well, it’s not draining some times, fully. It’s over 10 years old.

After reviewing the budget, I have about $900 extra. I’ll use this to get the new dryer and washer. I was going to buy used, but I’ve had nothing but problems with this last dryer.

I need to save the money in the home repair account to get the shutters placed on the villa before hurricane season kicks in.

The electrician did tell me to keep the plugs for the appliances because now when you buy any appliance the plugs don’t come with it, 🤦🏽‍♀️🙄 what a rip off.

I ended up decluttering and throwing out some things in the laundry room. I found a ton of paper towels 🧻 and plates. I’ll throw them in my hurricane supply container.

    I'm sorry you have had this happen. There is nothing wrong with buying new, and putting this headache behind you. I fully support buying used to save money, but it can be so hit or miss sometimes.

    So frustrating! A new set is likely to last years, although I've heard from the grapevine newer appliances don't last as long and had that happen with one fridge so far. Our washer and dryer are easily 20 years old. Wink is right nothing wrong with new, but used isn't wrong either. I take it you have called an appliance repair person yet?

    We sometimes have to buy a new cord for our dryer depending on the outlet set up at each place. I really should keep the one we have next time if we have to buy new. I know I gave one away one time. They are $20 I think, plus or minus a few dollars. The reason the cord is not included is the manufacturer doesn't know which outlet is in the homes, and thus it's better to sell separate than to force people to call an electrician.

    I am a big fan of buying used, but when it comes to appliances and electronics, I tend to go for new, and then use them for a long time. Sometimes with used you are just buying someone else's trouble.
