Our ancient Kenmore clothes drier is no longer moaning in agony.
Now it’s got a full-on death squeal.
Last night I took it apart and the best I can figure is that the drum rollers are failing.
“No, not that,” says my wife. “It sounds more like an air leak.”
But that would require air pressure… or a vacuum… neither of which exist in a laundry machine, I point out.
“Definitely an air leak.”
So while we could argue that all day… I turned to my old friend, Dramatic Demonstration—it does the work when words don’t.
I turned on the drier with the door wide open… the front panel taken off… no where for a vacuum to exist.
Still it screamed for mercy.
“Ok,” she said. “Try new rollers.”
That’s my plan… just as soon as I finish writing you and one more email for a client.
