I've Had A Very Satisfying Day....

[global1]

My old Whirlpool Clothes Dryer crapped out the other day. I suspected that the belt that drives the drying drum broke. So I went to the Internet and Googled the model number of my dryer and I was able to find the part number for a replacement belt.

I went to E-Bay and searched the Whirlpool Model Number and lo and behold I was able to order one for $9.97 and free shipping. Four days later I received the new replacement belt.

I then went back to the Internet - YouTube - and searched 'How to replace a belt on this dryer'. Again - lo and behold - there were two videos that took me through the belt replacement process for my dryer.

Today - I headed down to the basement to do the job. After about 1 hour - and following the instructions in the video - I was able to fix my dryer. As a bonus - I was able to vacuum the innards of the machine and clean it up. I reassembled the dryer by reversing the taking apart process and plugged the machine back in - and guess what - it worked. I fixed it.

I saved myself the cost of a service call and paying serviceman's price for the replacement belt and I saved myself from having to go out and buy another dryer - like most people do when their machine goes out.

I'm gonna sit back tonight and sip on a celebratory cocktail and enjoy my victory. A real satisfying day for me.
