You might remember that I have been without a dryer for quite sometime now. Matt tried and tried to fix our old one but ended up going out on Black Friday and found a GREAT deal on a washer AND dryer for the price of just one of them! I guess it was a little TOO good...they said we could pick it up around Dec. 17th (which I thought was way too long back then) BUT when we called recently they said there were 70,000 people that also took advantage of the unbelievable deal and so ours wasn't even built yet and wouldn't be ready until FEBRUARY!!!!!!! WHAT!!!#@!!! I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL FEBRUARY! It has been a pain hanging everything and breaking into my neighbors house to use her dryer (OK it wasn't breaking in, I had her consent ;) So we decided to fore go the great deal and just get one that we could pick up TODAY! So we got it home and I couldn't wait to plug the thing in and get going on my piles of laundry! It was VERY late at night on Saturday night but Matt was such a trooper and installed the washer and dryer. We were anxious to try it out. We put in a load AND.....the dryer was tumbling but it wasn't heating! WHAT!!!!???? That is what the "broken" dryer that we just replaced was doing!!!!!! YIKES! So all depressed we went up to bed. Matt just happened to go back downstairs and I hear "SARA!" I know that tone and I knew it couldn't be good. I ran downstairs to find our laundry room filled with about 2 inches of WATER!!!!!!!! OOOOOOOOPPPSSS! There were a couple of directions in the install process that Matt missed! :) So we got out the shop vacuum and a lot of towels. Then we had to figure out what went wrong....so by 5:00 a.m. Matt decided he couldn't go to sleep because he had a 6:30 a.m. meeting at the Stake Center! Matt was a ZOMBIE by the time he got home from church at 5:30! He went to sleep and didn't wake until this morning at 7:30!
So now back to the dryer....yes we just purchased a new washer and dryer to find out that the problem was not in the dryer at all but we had a bad circuit breaker! He he he...it is a little funny at this point to think I have been without a dryer for over a month, used my neighbors and spent a fortune on new, when really we could have fixed this little problem in a cinch! :) Funny stuff! Like I said BEFORE, when we try fix it projects the seem small, they turn into quite the production! :) It's a good thing I LOVE my new washer and dryer!

Oh, my heavens! I am laughing and crying! That is an almost unbelievable story! But your new washer and dryer are beautiful and should last a long, long, long time! What a stressful time but all you can do is laugh or you would go insane at times like this!
Love you and Merry Christmas!
Sara..That is my DREAM washer and dryer! Daryl says we have to use ours til it breaks then I can FINALLY have it. I keep hoping ours will break...but it never does! Hmmm....how do I rig that circuit breaker thing??? Happy Laundering!!! =)
That's a whole lot of effort just to get a new washer and dryer, Sar! Couldn't you have just asked for one?? :)
I love/hate those black Friday deals -- it seems like they NEVER turn out as good as they're advertised. I'm supposed to wait 3 months to get the $7 rebate? No thanks. :)
