Dryers Suck

We put together a drying rack last night. Why is that significant?

Because Karen went to start up the dryer and it wouldn't start.

We had wet clothes in the washer and nowhere to put them.

I went out to the garage and found the wood drying rack we had used in the camper. Unfortunately, we get water by the service door in the back of the garage and guess what I had put there? Towels to soak up the water and the wood drying rack on top of the towels. Can't use the drying rack as there is mold on it.

That led me to behind my dresser where there has been a long skinny box for a couple of years that I have never put together because I had the wood one.

That led to the four of us working "together" on assembling the drying rack. Took about 1 hour. All families should do that.

Kenmore-dryer-troubleshooting - The dryer will not operate

1. Check that the power is on to the machine. The power indicator light will if this is the case.

2. Check that the door is properly closed. When a door interlock switch is not activated properly the machine will not start. The best check is to open and close the door several times and sometimes the microswitch may be sticking and some do come loose due to vibration

3. The dryer start switch hasn’t been pressed or turned properly.

4. The dryer program hasn’t been selected

Not that I'm getting up and going to Dubuque BUT... http://bfads.net/Adscans
