So 2 years ago my washer and dryer died. Both died almost the same time, the washer limped along for a few weeks and then the dryer just said the heck with it. I managed to find a scratch and dent HE washer at Lowes for $275 and purchased that (greedily).

I really liked my old Alvacado green dryer as it was the first adult purchase I had ever made, so when I saw one for $25 at the Habitat store I bought it. Fast forward 2 years and the timer went out on it. I found a new timer online for $80 and have ordered that.

Back when I purchased the first one, my BF had a truck so I could easily get it home, I no longer have BF, so I no longer have access to a truck. If I didn't fix my old one I would have to buy another one and even if I managed to find another $25 one, I would still have to rent a truck for at least $50 to get it home.

I looked at new ones and I can't justify spending the money on the ones that I like, and the others are no better than the old one I have. They do come with free delivery though.

What would you have done? Purchased a new one or fixed the old one?

Thanks all for the reassurance!!

I probably would have bought a dial timer at the dollar store and used that. 80 bucks for a timer???? good grief.

Trust me I thought through every easy fix I could!!

Actually the timer just doesn't time, but it also controls the heat and the drum running. Without the timer the dryer will heat too high or too low and the drum won't run properly.

It's called a timer, but does a great deal more.
