As 'Tag would say.
Wm. Manchester wrote about Albert Speer storming over to a tank factory in March of '45 to find out why production was at a stop. He found a yard full of completed tanks just sitting there. He asked why and the manager explained the paint jobs didn't meet spec but as soon as received another batch of paint they'd be on their way. Speer explained the tanks had a life expectancy measured in days, maybe even hours and get them under way NOW.
I mention this because I just spent an hour and a half on my mother's UberMensch clothes dryer. 26 Torx to remove the rear panel and then search around to find the thermal overload reset. Which isn't even mentioned in the manual; I had to get online and inquire about 'why no heat'. The reset is hidden where it can only be reached after taking the thing apart; a simple two screw cover wouldn't do.
My coin operated Maytag washer and dryer were $20 each when the college replaced them in '90 and still run.
