The dryer

Our dryer is crapping out on us.  Again.  We bought that dryer used on ebay maybe a couple of years ago for about $65.00.  It's never worked quite "right" but it gets the clothes dry so that's all that counts.  It stopped working a few months ago and Phillip had to replace some thing in it to get it working again.  Recently is started acting up again.  It just runs sometimes and not other times without any real rhyme of reason.  We'll put clothes in there and push the button and nothing happens.  Then an hour or two or three later it just comes on all by itself.  Basically if it's closed it can just come on or go off at any time.  So we just have to make sure to open it at night or if we're going to be gone for a while.  With every load that gets dried, I think "YES!!  One more!  Victory!"  We could buy another dryer but as long as this one is sort of working we'll probably hang onto it.
