Default What could (gradually?) kill a dryer's motor?

Check Craigslist for the closest large city. There's at least one free dryer
every week (at least there is in mine - Houston).

Thanks for the tip. I can actually afford buying a new one, but if I
replace my defective dryer where is the fun in reparing it? :-)


And then it won't match the washer. I can't stand when it doesn't
match the washer. I can't sleep at night. In the day, I'm tired and
I have trouble steering the car.

You know it is traditional that the washer match the dryer. It goes
back thousands of years. The same woman who washes the clothes hangs
them on the line.

I don't think they have free dryers in Baltimore, but otoh, I've never
looked. I will look if mine ever breaks, although they don't have
many parts and it's probably easier to fix it than to lug a whole
dryer home.
