Can I vent while we sit around the campfire ?
I have built two houses from the ground up and repaired just about every home appliance that exists, but lost on this last repair on our electric cloths dryer. It had a rubbing/schritcing sound, so ...

In 1971 we bought a Whirlpool washer and a dryer, from KMart, for somewhere around 225.00, I think.
They lasted, even though I had to pull and lube the bearing on the dryer, until sometime in early 2000s.
I broke the washer by trying to unscrew the little tub that dispensed softener or bleach from the agitator.
We bought this current set of Neptunes at a ridiculous 2,000.00 or soand have had to renew the service contracts, for more than 150% of the total price of our original Whirlpools several times. Haven't done that for a few years now. They had to replace the board and other things several times. If I stumble across a good condition old American made set, it's going into the basement to replace these things in the Laundry room when they quit.
They conserve water supposedly but the clothes sometimes have to be washed twice and it takes all day to do two or three loads. The dryer runs forever to get clothes dry. It wears out cotton clothes, from running so long, at lower temps to dry them. Beats the clothes to death over a half day.
Our old dishwasher was powered by surplus mini gun motor and was loud but dishes were cleaner and done quicker. Newer fancier one takes forever,takes a few minutes which cycles etc to use, and doesn't get them as clean sometimes but it "saves water." Like I care, I need to put in a well here.
