My GE dryer stopped working suddenly last Friday. I had a Sears tech come out and look at it. Turns out the dryer has a thermal fuse that trips when the dryer runs too hot. He quited me $18 for a new fuse he just happened to have with him (overpriced), and then said he would have to charge me $90 to put in the switch. Then he paused, and said he would show me how to install the new fuse, and if I signed a waiver I could do it myself and save the $90.
I signed the waiver, put in the switch, and it works fine. The young man laughed when I asked how much of the $90 he lost out on by letting me install the switch myself........
Maybe I can request him by name next time I need service........
