I am not the least bit mechanically inclined. I never have been. In fact, it's been a source of jokes about me over the years (1/2 of them made by yours truly) about how uninclined I am when it comes to repairs.

After a tough week of having to pay for repairs to both of my cars ($1100), I couldn't stomach the thought of paying anything more than I had to for a repair to my dryer that broke one day after the second car was repaired.

I cancelled an appt. that I made to have a repair guy stop by after I found this book on AMAZON.

I received the book on Friday and took a 20 min peek at it that night. I found a diagram of the broken part in the book.

Saturday I went to a local appliance part store (a 10 min trip) and 20 mins later my dryer was working again. Total cost was $43 (book + shipping + part).

The repair service wanted $45 as a minimum just to stop by.

Now my wife, family and friends are raving about the fact that I have fixed something.

Other than a PC this is the only thing I have ever fixed. I almost hope it will break again.

Great book.

This was a very helpful book. I have never fixed a dryer before. My dryer was making a squeaking noise. I used the book to help diagnose and fix the problem. The bearing I needed was only five dollars. The book shows what the likely problems are and how to fix them.
