What Doesn't Work?

 Something wrong with our dryer machine. It has all the function buttons needed to do the task required but problem is there's no heat coming from inside the machine. The machine spins to desired cycle yet the clothes wont dry. I first thought somebody pushed the "air fluff" button.

 
 Our washing machine had its problem too since we moved here at the new home we are living for past 5 months 1/2. The problem was solved by calling the appliance maintenance man who fixed the machine by replacing a part that's needed to make it work or spin. The machine spins to desired cycle but clothes never get to the rinse cycle. Hindi napipiga.  Awa ng Diyos nafixed at a hefty sum of money $ 200+ ? I asked my husband if we could reimburse the maintenance of appliances from this rented house but he said no. We owned the machines so we paid for  it's maintenance fee. I couldn't believe that these two new machines will fail how could that be? We bought these two machines in year 2012. It's only year 2015. However there is something that I have to tell you, that these new machines are better than old brand names. Energy savings!  Energy saver machines. Whatever, it's convenient.

Would you believe that the maintenance of all the houses we lived at,  it's my husband providing for all its maintenance for free? Wow! Savings!!!!

TRUTH is ... it's ECONOMICALLY cheaper for us to use machines for washing and drying clothes. It's the same kind of system when farmers would like to use machines to cultivate their land and harvest their crops using machines at their plantation because simply it's about ECONOMICS.


 
While we waited for the maintenance guy to fix the dryer machine have to hang dry clothes and towels. Save electricity by hanging clothes and let the natural  air dries the clothes? Take time. It will take 2 to 3 days to dry them and then you will have to iron them resulting to wasting money, electricity and time. Manual laundry? Sure that's okay here too if the weather is favorable. But no matter how hot and sunny outside during summer time, your clothes will be filled with bugs and tiny noizzium or "hanip." Then you will have to iron them one by one so that those tiny bugs, dustmites wont live through your clothes and comforters. Yeah. I am that meticulous.

The repairman came and fixed the dryer, he showed us the "element" that was burnt out causing the dryer machine not to perform it's work. How much to have the machine fixed? Costly! $ 178.50 (the element (part) and labor + tax. $90.00 for labor. Actually it should be $100, but my husband received a discount from the repairman.
