DRIER AND DRIER

I haven't written very much about our drier trials.

When we got our new Fisher & Paykel washer and drier we were very happy with their operation.

Then the drier began to malfunction when it unlocked.

We had two repair visits. The first inconclusive and the second ending with a new part ordered. A week later we learned that the part had been back ordered.

So we went back to Pacific Sales who sold it to us. After some running around, they ordered us a new drier.

It arrived Friday and almost immediately went dead. No power.

Today, we had another repair man sent on an emergency call by Pacific Sales. He says that this one's control panel is blown and needs a new one.

We had been afraid that somehow it was our power source but he said "no way".

Now, we are at another impasse. Pacific Sales has told us that if this one is bust they have yet another one in the warehouse and will send it to us. We will see.

In the meantime we are limping in the laundry department. We have learned how to dry outdoors which is relatively easy even in humid weather. But it doesn't fluff. Or soften. A lot of stuff wrinkles.

The likelihood of our getting two defective driers in a row are like a million to one. They say. They don't even have malfunctions.

Are we a drier trouble magnet?

We don't have this kind of thing very often. If ever.

Now we do.

Another challenge to our equanimity.

As life troubles go, this is fairly mild on the horrendous scale. But it is annoying.
