    Worth getting dryer fixed?

    Well I gotta say that's strange one. My brain is wondering how that could have happend. Nice to have options for that. If you go electric make sure you cap/plug the gas line after the valve properly. Safety and all that. Woo Hoo!! Congrats!! Cheers, Joel B.

    Worth getting dryer fixed?

    Well I guess an empty drum would amplify any sound. 🔔 Cheers, :mug: Joel B.

    What's the over/under on HBT folks checking their dryer sounds right now (ROFL) Cheers, :mug: Joel B.

    Worth getting dryer fixed?

    Damn, I wouldn't think that dent would cause that by it's self. Check the rear drum seal, could there be something amiss (clumped up or missing) there that when that dent and something on the drum are at the same position it "thumps"? Just spit balling here... Cheers, :mug: Joel B.

    Worth getting dryer fixed?

    Sorry, @day_trippr I didn't mean any thing negative about what you said. I was looking at the same diagrams you were at the time you & I posted. I was just trying to help & didn't mean to step on any toes. I hope the OP finds the problem and it's a cheap and easy fix. Cheers, :mug: Joel B.

    Worth getting dryer fixed?

    @shetc Thankies at least I know what you're playing with. It looks like removing the back might not help much as far as seeing any problems. I found a couple of web pages, Link#1, Link#2 that might help though. The first one has some video's that might help a bit. Both have some parts diagrams...

    Worth getting dryer fixed?

    I suppose I'll be the first to ask @shetc ,the OP, what the make and model number of the dryer is. Might help a bit to find a parts diagram to see what's inside. Just a thought. Cheers, :mug: Joel B.

    Worth getting dryer fixed?

    Most of the dryers I have worked on the back or front could be removed and still have it run. Might have to cheat the door switch or the like. Maybe a loose baffle in the drum? Sound deadening material flapping against the sides? Is it level and all of the feet on the floor? Camo tennis shoe...

    Worth getting dryer fixed?

    Take note of the timing of the noise. Is it regular? How often does it thump? Does it correspond with the drum speed? Might help take off the back and watch it operate, watch the belt, watch the idler pulley, see if something jumps or slips. Sometimes these deals are "touchy, feely, see" kind...

    Northern Brewer closed?

    They probably wouldn't have moved to Mpls. even if they didn't. Yeah this. I'm used to a 3 day order to open the box from NB/MS. After the AIH acquisition things went south. My last order was 10 working days and that was after I made a couple of emails just wondering (and maybe a little...

    Harvest Time On The Farm

    @grampamark Hey thanks for the info. I kind of figured little straw harvest. I didn't know if they had a way to somehow to pick up the chaff that I was new to me. Is it safe to assume no-till drill planting those crops? We've been real dry right where I live this year. Most of the state is...

    Sense of Impending Dread and Doom

    The USPS situation is going to get worse, I fear. Some folks want to privatize it which I think is not good for us, the user. There is a reason that UPS and the USPS have some sort of arangement with USPS being the end carrier in some rural locations for smaller packages. (UPS drops off at local...

    Favorite Malt Liquor?

    Hahaha , I was always told years ago that's how they made "Bock" beer. They only did that once a year and that's why it was "seasonal". :rolleyes: Cheers, Joel B.

    Favorite Malt Liquor?

    I've just had SR in cans, 12oz's and 24oz's. I have had many other beers that I'd pass over to get to a SR. Any thing "light or lite" stands out first. I've never had a Belgian style so I can't compare to one but I think that SR does have a clean taste,,,(hehe) maybe not the "best" taste, but...

    Favorite Malt Liquor?

    Hey, you like what you like, I like what I like, that's what keeps up brewing. I am the opposite of a hop head, (a malt melon? (LOL)). But it's all good. Yeah I can drink a hoppy beer but I'm sure not going to brew one on purpose. It's just beer for shxx sake. :rock: Joel B.

    Favorite Malt Liquor?

    Yeah, I am going to order a couple of those and see. I'm still thinking they will need something for body, not just sure what yet. Now I leaning towards a pound or so of 80L crystal, maybe carared, thinking that because of color. My memory of Old English 800 had a bit of reddish/gold tint...
