This top filter Whirlpool Dryer was ok on the outside and might have sold it as was to someone who needed a cheap dryer.
I want an “easy” chore after I ran into a dead end on another machine (Samsung frontl oader) so I thought to give this old workhorse a “quick cleanout”. I am pretty good at it after having done a few others, but holy mother of gunk ‘n funk was this thing filthy. A dryer fire already, although apparently too small to bother with addressing? O M effin’ G!
I am chomping on a vitamin C as I write this, post long hot shower. Really got to stop with the, “sure I will take away your old washer and dryer” thought.
Sold an extremely nice, nearly new LG set and took this and a DD washer off the buyers hands for $50.
The washer was also a mess, which I mistakenly cleaned first, and when I tested it water ran out from below the tub like Niagra. They had it set up outside and it had been leaking for years by the looks of things, e.g copious chunks of rust inside the cabinet. That’s when I thought maybe I should be a little circumspect about the dryer.
So glad I did...in a manner of speaking. This dryer has seen a number of burning dust bunnies, a mountain of beach sand, guitar picks, coins, and someone clearly likes to floss their teeth a lot.
