Well, perhaps it wasn't a cure so much as a conversion from gas to electricity...
Remember a while back, there was a turquoise Lady Kenmore dryer in Baltimore? It was a match to the Lady Kenmore turquoise washer, but it was gas... But why should a little thing like that deter me?? Here's one of the threads about this dryer when it first came up for sale: CLICK HERE TO GO TO turquoisedude's LINK | ||

Here's the relay that made the conversion possible installed on the nice, clean base.
The use of a relay allowed Jeff (who did the wiring work) to keep the original wiring from the dryer controls to the gas ignition system. These wires could not have coped with the high wattage of the dryer elements but they were fine to power the relay which now takes care of supplying the juice. I don't really understand everything about how to use a relay, but by golly, I think I'll be using this approach when I tear into the 66 Inglis dryer!

Are there any issues transporting an appliance
Michael, it is a LOT simpler than one might imagine. The general rule is that if the appliance was made in the US, Canada, or Mexico, there are no duties or fees, however, the appliance may be subject to Canadian GST. I say 'may' because it depends on the value of the appliance and how long one has been in the US. The new cross-border shopping rules permit a Canuck to bring back $50 worth of goodies each and every time they cross the border; so when I do a one-day run into upstate New England, I would have to pay GST on the value of the appliance(s) and that is based on the proof of purchase. I've had a few cases of buying things under the $50 value (the $9.99 1957 Mobile Maid I won off of FleaPay in October 2007 for example) so there has been no additional tax to pay.
Now, if one has been out of Canada for more than 48 hours, the exemption jumps to $250 and after at week or more, it's something like $800. This is why Hubby will never let me go to the US alone for any serious length of time... LOL Getting from Ogden to Beltsville we just had to cross into VT, then we took I-91 to I-84, then I-95 all the way down. We're still pretty far east in Ogden so the Peace bridge would not have worked for us. I only got the cavity check once in San Francisco, on my way back from New Zealand... But that story would not be appropriate for this forum... LOL This post was last edited 05/21/2013 at 14:06 | ||

Thanks, Paul. SF cavity check,LOL.
Don't know how I got the idea stuck in my head that border crossing a washer/dryer/dishwasher was difficult. Concealing contraband, etc.
Glad to know it's not. So were you able to pay the low fee? You could tell hubby that it's a futuristic clock with a giant blue battery that will last a lifetime, which of course the LK dryer will. It's such a beautiful machine. | ||
