    Beaumark dryer with stiff drum
    I have an old Beaumark clothes dryer (maybe 20 yrs old) and the drum is stiff and does not turn properly. Thought I wouldjust look it but I can't even get it open.Took the two metal clips off at the back but this just allow the top to partially lift. Don't see any other bolts holding anything in place. I think she is hoping it has to be replaced but I am confident I can fix it up for another 20 years.
    Just spoke to my wife and she says the problem is that it "wobbles" and doesn't turn properly.

    Yeah... be careful with that one! In a few years it will be worth a fortune as antiquity !
    But heeeeh : if you can't open it up, what other options do you have other than replace it with a much younger model of only... let's say... 15 or so years... :D :D :D :D :D
    .
    Common man... go with your wife to some appliance shop and get her a new one !
    :rolleyes:
