Repair or Buy Appliances
I just had a dryer quit on me in a single family dwelling. This one is actually the house I used to live, so I have a bit more background on the unit. I know the dryer is over 6 years old (was there when I moved in). It had an issue when I moved in and I spent aproximately $180 repairing it about 6 years ago. This is a different issue this time. It runs, but it doesn't heat up.
I'd like to see what people think on a few questions...
Would you repair or buy?
If you would buy, would you buy new or try to find something on craigslist (or similar)?
