My neighbor saw my $12 repair job on the dryer and asked why I didn't just buy a new one
I fixed our dryer last week for $12 with a new thermal fuse instead of dropping $600 on a replacement, and my neighbor watched me do it in the driveway and still asked why I bothered. He said the sweat and time weren't worth it, but I keep thinking about how fast we're trained to toss stuff that still works. Does anyone else get weird pushback when a cheap fix actually holds up, or is it just me?
