The big question, do we bring back in the old dryer (it is on the back patio right now) and see if it works too, return the new dryer (assuming Lowe's has a decent policy) and use that $$ toward a new fridge, or, just keep the new dryer.......

It's worth at least trying the old dryer, if you're doing a lot of laundry (which I guess you're not if it's just you and DS) then having 2 dryers is good.

I think because they are "in house" for repairs they don't just send a repair person without trying other simple fixes first (it's how I learned about resetting the breaker for a dryer that runs but doesn't heat, for example).

DS ordered a new heating element and installed it, the problem persisted. Assuming it was the dryer, I bought a new dryer which was to be delivered on Saturday.

Came home from work on Thursday, the fridge stopped working.

What sort of luck is that???

So, on Friday we bought a little dorm fridge until we can go shopping - physically I need to be able to reach things in a new fridge. We have a deep freeze already.

Saturday, Lowe's delivers the new dryer, installs it. Turn it on and it runs. Guys leave. The heat never comes on in the dryer.

Now, we are thinking maybe this is an electrical problem? Other things in laundry room, washer, lights, deep freeze, work fine. Same goes for the kitchen, other things on that wall work fine.

Central AC works fine. DS has replaced the fuses, no avail.

It will be NEXT week until DS has a day off to meet an electrician at the house.

Anyone have ideas?
