Appliance Repairs

I recently had to repair my gas dryer and I am very cautious on gas as it allows for no mistakes. I found a very nice web site that helped me in the trouble shooting stage.

Here is the site.

So grasshopper be not afraid in the appliance Dojo you will learn to reign supreme!

With the quick insight that all sensors have a zero impedance I was able to deduct that I had a faulty heat fuse in less than 1 hr and once I had the part 15 minutes later I was back in business! Cost $10.00 vs $150 for a repair man just to show up at the door!

TOOLS RULE!

I'm not technically minded enough to have a go at fixing appliances, but it sounds like you saved yourself a small fortune just by being able to get to the real heart of the problem, instead of being 'fobbed' off by tradesmen who would have taken you for every penny they could have got out of you!
It's amazing that just by getting the right advice things seem more manageable.. good on you!
I think the only things that I have ever tackled were my washing machine that had a blockage, I managed to unblock it by using the instruction manual, and I once fixed a minor fault on the sweeping brush on my hoover, anything above that and it's beyond me, but I know that it made me feel pretty good at the time!

Excellent DianC! I would encourage any one to try to fix a broken item. Each attempt build your knowledge base and makes future attempts seem less daunting. Beside if it is already broke the odds are you can not make it much worse!
