At CasaV we’ve got an ice maker, a central A/C, a front door (cosmetic stuff)and a section of downstairs lights that need attention.

It happened to me once. My hubby and I installed a dishwasher into our kitchen. A week later, our refrigerator died. We borrowed one from someone that was just sitting in their garage, until we could save up the cash to buy a new one. We rejoiced and went grocery shopping. No sooner did we fill it up when it died, too. We bought a new one. A month or so later, our washer died.

We moved. And left the dishwasher behind. ;)

The thing was, when I checked the breakers, all looked normal, because the plastic coupler held the heating element breaker to the motor breaker, which apparently was manly enough to hold them both in place. When I would flip the combined breakers, the dryer would work fine (until the next time it got angry about something and the heating element breaker would break again). Finally I replaced the faulty breaker and all was well, but in the meantime you may be able to just flip the switches and get back to drying properly for a while.

Soon as you started hanging laundry outside to dry, our drought would end. You’d still have wet clothes, but we’d all have more tomatoes!
