Dear Oppo

I recently started having trouble with my dryer. Early on I remember checking the vent from the outl et and it seemed clear. Then I started checking fuses and other stuff. Never quite figured out what was wrong . Well; I just went and purchased a dryer. Came home and started disconnecting the vent tube from the back and getting it ready for pickup; and family of chipmunks was in the dryer. I cleaned out the three of them and low and behold my dryer fired up for the first time in two weeks.

It’s pretty gross and I hate to imagine them dying like that.

Now for the real question though; should I cancel the dryer I bought to replace this one?

If the old one is really old with knobs and like two settings, keep the old one. Cancel the new one.

make sure the outside vent has a cage over it to prevent animals from getting in.

You've hit the lifespan of that thing. You're on borrowed time. If you got a good deal, keep it

Everything else aside, this right here is the important information. Time for a new one.

They just don’t make them like they used to. I have a 20 year old washer and dryer in a rental, that has never had any issues.   Meanwhile at my house a dryer doesn’t last 5 years. And I only do laundry once a week now that I'm a bachelor again.

Likewise, the new one is on borrowed time the minute it’s plugged in.....

We’ve had enough new Dryer’s of various makes that I’ll take my chances with a 20 yo one anyday.

*loads up 25 yo dryer and walks away*
