Dryer stopped working.  Wife said we should probably get a new one, I said I can fix it.  "Really" she says, "yup" I say (money saved is money spent on music gear, I think to myself)  Fixing my dryer cost me a $30 part.  Having an appliance repairman look at it would have cost more than the appliance is worth!

Awesome.  Those stories are always a victory to me.

Our drier at home has this awesome red push button on it to replace their really crappy stock switch.  I'm pretty sure I increased it's value with customization.

That's always a good feeling. And you managed to impress a lady at the same time, I'd say you won for today.

Really? Monster does sell cable for household appliances ? Do they also offer those High-end plastic covers to keep this nasty electromagnetic fields in the socket and prevent it from polluting your house when no plug is inserted? only USD 50 for the set of three?

Comments about Monster PowerDryer AC Power Cord for Electric Dryers:
Wow,fantastic product. Dryer runs cooler, sounds better, with deep lows and crystaline highs. Dryer seems to have much increased headroom to deal with demanding loads. Clothes dry faster, and the sunshine smell is an unexpected bonus.

Expensive, but worth it!

And harsh chemicals have always been a problem around my dryer.
