My 27 year old dryer just died. No warning whatsoever. Just a large bang, and it was gone. Probably a belt or something. I think I'll just replace it since it is so very old. And inefficient, I'm sure. I've got some money I can use. The problem is the ability to get it done. Hubby can't help me get one into the house right now, so I will have to have one delivered. That way they can remove the old one, too. But, until I can get that done, I am without a dryer. And, boy, do we need it for the sheets and work clothes that I need to dry. Otherwise, I'll be ironing till the cows come home. Right now, I have socks laying everywhere. I'm going to get a drying rack tonight. I usually hang my stuff to dry anyway, but the dogs' bedding and our king-sized bedding will be a pain. Oh well, it's not that I didn't expect it sometime. Just wish it had waited until the summer. I sure hope this has a silver lining.....
RIP.....

Disneysteve is right, a new efficient one will soon pay for itself.

They just don't make things like they used to though.
I would take our old washer/dryer any day. The new ones are energy efficient but we haven't noticed much savings. But anyway, I think the quality of our 25-year-old washer and dryer was MUCH better, personally.
Sorry to rain on your parade. The silver lining is they look cooler. LOL.

But yeah the washer gave out 2005. Dryer was fine.
RIP, indeed.

Am having to have a new roof put on this coming week (around $4000, but thankfully the insurance is paying part of it) and need a good long while to build back up our emergency/household fund.
