So today it's repair-day, no?
Just replaced the broken washing machine today. Bitch was heavy, made for 20 lbs dry load.
Dampers worn out, heating shorted, beyond repair. Glad that it was insured. The new one cost me only around 150 bucks (700 in the store), considering 250 for the old one from insurance and 5 years of warranty, saves me 5 bucks per month (totals 300).
As soon as i kicked out the thing at the waste dump, i returned home to hear the dryer squeak on every turn of the drum.
So it's bushing maintenance or belt replacement day tomorrow

That reminds me, it's time to replace the bearing and felt glide on mine. 25 years old but the new stuff is not as hardy.
That's why i still repair things. As for the dryer it's the second repair in its lifetime (14yrs).
Same!
I have been looking up parts on various sites and then going to EBAY to order the parts. (For some reason EBAY always has the best prices on appliance parts for me)
My clothes washer is 25 years old. I have replaced the pump, the circuit board, and some parts that allow to the door to latch/seal. Each time the repair has cost me ~$30 in parts, and would cost more than 10 times that for a repairman.
My wife would point out that we can afford the repair person. She is 100% right. And my time is worth more that what I save...
I don't give a fuck.
