Melissa,
My Maytag dryer is the model just under yours, the difference being that yours has moister sensors to defect the level of dryness, mine has a thermo sensor. And I might add I replaced my LG dryer with this Maytag. In all honesty, I like the Maytag much better. It drys faster and more accurately, never any damp items left when the dryer cycles off using the Auto Dry. The LG took longer and had way more settings than I would have ever needed or used.
So, if you can get a fair discount for the damage, and you don’t mind having a mismatched set, you may want to consider keeping the Maytag, if you are happy with its performance.
Lastly, I totally agree with you. The comment made earlier by another member about Family Planning was rude and uncalled for. The size of your family is your choice. You have every right to be offended, and I’m sorry that this comment was made, you didn’t deserve it.
Eddie
