[QUOTE="Blackhorse, post: 547999, member: 1365"] You’re lucky you live in MO. Our dryer started squeaking last week, then wouldn’t work. A call to a local & very well regarded repair shop gets a guy out the next day. $100 call out...absorbed into any repair job they ultimately do. So...main cause of failure...dead motor so that went in and 3 other minor things that had bearings (just in case cause they were inexpensive and we already had the guy out and the machine opened up). The cost of the motor alone was quoted at between $195 - $600 depending on which one is was (ended up as $165 just cause someone up there likes us). Anyway, the whole thing ended up costing $365. That should buy us 10 - 15 years of normal use and we’re light users. So a new dryer ($700 - $1200) wasn’t even close to an option. Anyway, all this to illustrate that Portland, Oregon is NOT a cheap date. I think I could have shipped the damn thing to Missouri, had it fixed, and shipped back for less. Well, maybe not. [/QUOTE]
