The part of the story I skipped: when I was called to pick Allison up on Wednesday, I wasn't at home. I was at the laundromat with three weeks worth of clothing. Being sick last week, we didn't get our laundry done on the traditional 2 week cycle. When we did start doing it (8 loads - 4 adult, 2 kid, 2 towels) the dryer mysteriously quit. It simply stopped mid-cycle and wouldn't start again.
Under other circumstances, this might actually have been welcomed. Why? We've really wanted a high efficiency washer/dryer for a few years but haven't been able to stomach the cost of a new one while we had an old one that still worked. And our dryer actually worked pretty well (drys a load in about 45 minutes).
However, now we're faced with repairing our old dryer (spending $200-ish) or getting new ($2000 for washer/dryer) and neither is very appealing right now. So, we're going to try a few repairs on our own. This is a basic dryer - not rocket science, right? Will keep you posted...
