Here are some comments about your situation:

1. Buying appliances on Craigslist is fraught with peril.
Almost all sellers lie to you. Getting the appliance home
and finding it doesn't work is common.

After all was said and done, there was nothing wrong with the dryer.
It simply needed a compatible gas line adapter.

2. It is somewhat unethical for a servicer to buy an
appliance from a someone who calls for service. That is
a conflict of interest.

3. Someone who buys a dryer on Craigslist will also
choose a servicer poorly. You could have had a better
outcome if you had chosen a better servicer and were
willing to pay normal prices for the service call.

FYI, he called three repair companies. Two charged $60 for
troubleshooting, with the provision that the fee would be folded into
any repair cost. The other charged $30 but would not fold that into
the repair cost. He paid the going rate for his area.

That is damn god price!!!
