Burnt out a dryer motor because I ignored a squeak for 2 months
Last month I finally got around to fixing a neighbor's dryer that had been squeaking since October. Turns out the idler pulley was completely seized and it took the motor with it. I felt like an idiot for not catching it sooner because I heard the same noise on my own dryer last year. Cost them $180 for a new motor assembly plus my labor. Any of you guys got a rule for how long you let a noise slide before you tear it down?
