15 years old would make it a 1991, is it a classic washer? | ||

Your new dryer looks like a Norgetag
At the old house I bought recent-model Crosley dryer that supposedly was made in Maytag's (Norge's) old factory in Herrin Illinois. Has some similarities to the PERFORMA you just bought. Worked quite nice. Good bang for the buck. It sold with the house. The prior dryer was a GE gas dryer that overheated the clothes so badly I couldn't hold them. The dryer was well maintained but ultimately died entirely and went to its grave. Wasn't a collectible piece. Can dryers be fire hazards? Darn tootin' ! I assumed that when it died entirely that it was a high-limit thermo-cutout that did the deed. Time to say BYE-BYE! | ||

the "plastic" vent hose behind the dryer these things are DEFINITELY a fire hazard. .....and even more-so when used with dryer fabric softener sheets, which are nothing more than scent and wax. This bemes glue when hot and IMHO screws up: Your clothes The dryer The exhaust system The environement Let us not forget that dryer mannies did NOT recommend /allow these (dryer softener sheets) when they first came out. IIRC use of same would void your warranty at that time. Of course the mannies now realize the sheets help rust and rot your dryer much quicker..... and THAT they don't object to, it seems. | ||
