Sending it back

It came on time but it was not what I wanted. And now I'm having a heck of a hard time sending it back.

Super Easy To Install
April 28, 2021

Most folks think it's usually the "guys" who repair appliances... but my dad was a mechanic for 50 yrs. and taught us girls as well as our brother to "fix" things. I just discovered Sears Parts Direct & LOVE them. This is the 2nd dryer I've restored back to working condition for less than $200. This seal is so simple & easy to replace, even a gal 62 yrs old can handle it with ease. Thanks Sears Parts Direct. :-)

Quick, accurate service
February 27, 2021

(I had to laugh at the "example": "It was quick to install and easy to fix" . NOT! This was the two thermal cutoff switches on an electric clothes dryer. They are NOT easy to install; they were buried deep in the bottom of the dryer with tiny screws and very limited access. And then I dropped one of the screws into the bottom of the drier and could not find it, so had to scrounge around to get another. But with the help of a YouTube video (bless them!) I did get it done after an hour plus and lots of aches in my poor old body. The parts arrived three days after ordering (for a $40 shipping fee on a $40 parts order) and the order was accurate. All told, the dryer works now and probably got it done faster and cheaper than calling a repair guy. Would I do it again? Maybe/maybe not - hope I don't have the chance to decide!
