To repair or not to repair? [View all]
My dryer has been making awful noise. It sounds kind of like a car side swiping another car. It's been going on for about 2 and a half weeks. It would stop after a few minutes, so I didn't worry about it too much, and between my left eye still off from the injection, and lot of other unexpected things I didn’t call anyone.
Monday the noise got constant and louder and the dryer stopped drying all together. I have a repair man scheduled for Wednesday. My cousin stopped by this morning to see if it was anything simple that he could fix, but he thinks it is something to do with the drum and probably best left to a professional.
So watched some You Tube Videos of the same model making noises, but none were even close to being as bad as mine. Also while a few of the repairmen in the videos, said there's a few minor problems that could cause the problems, there also might be a major problem too expensive to fix like a cracked drum, so getting a new dryer might be the way to go instead.
I'm torn. Do I spend $130 dollars just to have the repair person come to determine whether it can be fixed or not, only to find out it can't be fixed? Then I am out $130 towards a new one. On the other hand if it turns out it is just an easy thing to fix, then I will have spent money on a new one I really didn't need!
Opinions on whether to fix or go straight to a new one? Will appreciate any suggestions.
