He came. He tested. He verified that we had a new cord and plug, that those weren’t the burned ones (because clearly, they weren’t.)
Yup. Brand new, put in by the electrician who rewired the room after it (waving a hand at the scorch marks on the wall.) Then when he plugged it in the front of the machine went boomBOOM!
I heard the sound of a drill. He was on the floor, taking the front off the bottom of it.
He came out of there kind of shaking his head, going, The board was sparking. I have never seen that before!
Does that mean I get a new dryer.
He affirmed, It *is* under warranty. He considered a moment. Let me call my rep. I’m going to come back Monday with a board.
About 40 minutes later, the phone rang. Clearly he had talked to her and I’m guessing she had thought of one last way this might not have to be Speed Queen’s problem: had the electrician opened anything up on the machine?
No, he only replaced the cord and plug. He considered it briefly but didn’t want to mess up our warranty.
Monday, he said. See you then.
