[quote=outtamojo]Not sure I agree w/ simple as possible – my sister in law was about to throw out their dryer cause it wouldn’t dry well enough and it gave off a smell of something burning. The thing had a diagnostic mode and told me all I needed to do was clean out the lint and replace a thermostat.[/quote]
Why can’t I have a sister-in-law like that?
Seriously, that was something I noticed when researching yesterday: almost none of the dryers I looked at had the remote diagnostic capabilities, including the really expensive ones. Surprising. It may be because local repair services and appliance retailers started complaining to the manufacturers that the ability of the consumer to diagnose problems was cutting into their business.
