lillian13I replaced the dyer belt, even though the one on it wasn't broken (couldn't return the belt, and the belt was old...), vacuumed the motor* (covered in dryer lint), reset the pulleys, and re-attached the dryer vent. Sweated and swore a lot. Got the dryer wrestled back into place. Plugged it back in. It works! (We'll see for how long.)
I guess I'll start saving/looking for replacements. These are older models, given to me by friends close to 6 years ago. They're at least 15 years old, probably older.
*Scared the crap out of Ripley the Cat, who was outside at the time. OMG! Teh Terrible Hose Monster Has Chased me Outside! I found her hiding under the couch when I took the vacuum inside.
Taking the plants outside now, which will really guarantee that we won't get rain. I may even seal our fate by getting the lovebugs washed off the car.

Actually, the locals here have been really wonderful. Thank you Phoenixians!
