why does that dryer fuse keep blowing out?

That old whirlpool dryer has been a good one,but lately I have been having problems with the fuse! Th fuse is a skinny little animal that is located on the blower housing of the back side of the dryer. When that thing blows the whole dang thang comes to a screeching halt.No tumbling no drying no nothing, and I know I have paid the electric bill!
Friends is this your dryer complaint? Have yall sucessfully diagnosed it and fixed it but yet...It just keeps blowing out, and at 10 plus dollars a pop yall is gitting impatient and exploring new dryer options? Well, dont go a running out and wasting yer money on a new dryer yet.listen my friends and I will tell yall the secret of the nasty dryer that just kept spiting fuses!! lol
Here is the secret, The filter as you well know is located in the top of this here dryer, it is shoved down into depths unknown to the cavernous underneith cravings of the lint world. its job is to catch the lint preditors as they seemingly endlessly relentlessly intend to do damage to all of yer dryers innerparts until one day it fails completely and BOOM a big old fire emerges and ruins yer whole day...ER house that is . so the pesky fuse blows the circuitry and stops the caticlismic from happening. and you replace it, and replace it, and replace it. Well you begin to wonder if you are buying bad parts made in china or communists are plotting to overcome by using a new force...capitolism!
What the real problem is ...is that the filter housing needs to be removed and cleaned and the dryer has to be comepletely blowed out and cleansed of its lint my brother . this means breaking down the entire machine and throughly cleaning it out THEN you can replace the fuse my brutha!

Texas' Junior Miss Aida Jobe said she loves eating competitions.
She said she took a shot at the local record for hot wings at an eatery back home. She came in third after eating 12 wings in under four minutes -- and that was without water or ranch or bleu cheese dressings.

On Monday, during the America's Junior Miss annual raw oyster eating contest Jobe downed 23 raw ones. Her top competition was Nebraska's Junior Miss Erin Baker and Virginia's Junior Miss Sara Rose.
was a tie between Nebraska, Virginia and Texas because we all had so many," Jobe said.

She said her secret was that she didn't think about it.

Jobe and a few other Junior Misses had no problem cracking open the saltine crackers and squirting on hot sauce for a midday throwdown.

Russell Mauceri said he's been working at Wintzell's Oyster House downtown since October, and Monday was the busiest he's ever been manning the restaurant's oyster bar.

"That was the first time I had so many people up there," Mauceri said. "Everything was going so fast that you couldn't keep up with who was winning."

The oysters didn't go down as easy for some others.

The majority of the girls peered at the critters with looks of disgust. There was even a "this is so scary" yelled by one Junior Miss as she saw her first-ever raw oysters.

Kansas' Junior Miss Kendra Brown said the competition was her first chance to taste the delicacy.

"I'm from Kansas, so it's a good chance this would be the only time I get to try it," Brown said. "I tried one, and it went down well."

The 49th annual AJM finals will feature the 50 girls competing for a share of $121,000 in total cash scholarships and the title of America's Junior Miss. Preliminary rounds begin Wednesday at the Mobile Civic Center Theater.

New Mexico's Junior Miss Rachel Boyd said this was her first time eating oysters. She ate 10.

"I didn't even taste it," she said after she finished her first oyster. "I just kind of set my mind to it and said, 'I'm going to do this.'"

Nevada's Junior Miss Alicia Westmoreland said she had only eaten one oyster before the AJM competition. She had five on Monday.

"I liked it, but they didn't have (an oyster bartender) down here to give me more, so I couldn't compete," Westmoreland said.

Next up for the group is a dress rehearsal exclusively for Gulf Coast residents to be held tonight at the Mobile Civic Center Theater at 6 p.m.

Bob Donlon, owner of Wintzell's, said the restaurant has been a part of the AJM since the scholarship program's inception in 1958. Though last year's oyster-eating contest was held at Ed's Seafood Shed on the Causeway.

Donlon said Wintzell's, an AJM category sponsor, gives all the girls T-shirts, and the competition participants receive beach towels.

"It turns out to be a lot of fun," Donlon said. "They really seem to enjoy it."

your central unit outside condenser motor is gonna someday die, thats a fact of life, will you pay some guy 450 dollars to replace a 75 dollar part? or will you go for broke and fix that puppy yourself? one thing to keep in mind is the blade being attached to the worn out motor aint gonna wanna depart from its dead buddy too easy. ok maybe you got 50 bucks to go buy another blade and dont give a dang ,but if you take your time and do it right, you can remove the old blade and save some suds money .put the old motor and blade into a vise, get some sand cloth and start smoothing up the motor shaft surface between the blade and the motor get it as clean as you can ,then take a piece of hollow pipe about 6 inches long and place it on the hub being carefull not to hit the shaft ,you never want to hit the shaft, as it will expand and not allow the hub to come free ,DONT BEAT ON IT! tap down on the hub of the blade,with the hollow pipe,into the cleaned portion of the motor shaft ,and then, sand smooth the portion of the upper shaft you have exposed. add some good penetrating oil and wiggle the sucker off .Take your time and you will save money

This show I did like last year is becoming very obnoxious to me. Why? Well in the beginning last year I said to myself this is a new program. So they naturaly couldn't come up with any decent chefs. Because no good chef in his mind is worthy of getting his *** kicked around and being treated like dirt, by a pompous *** like that, just to get a job working in a sleasy *** kitchen like one of his dipsty diners. Why in the heck would I go and try to get a job from an *** like that? Aint no job in the world worth that much crapola.They should at least feed the hungry homeless folks if they muck up a good beef wellington because its not on a hot plate or scortch the potatoes. Thats a terrible waste of good food that could have fed a lot of sad people. It makes me sick to think of how much food is wasted by that guy because it aint up to his standards. He has the custs drooling for crumbs in a wonderful smelling kitchen and has them waiting for hours so he can get his **** off by *****ing at inferiour pizza delivery people. These chefs are not cookers, they are retards. Whos paying who to get this machochistic treatment? The patrons walse in as if they think the austistic waifs they've rounded up from the area cafeterias getting bashed by a foul mouth egomaniac are actually going to make some decent food in 30 minutes. Im sick of this show. already. WE WOULD LOVE TO WATCH A SHOW THAT TEACHS GREAT COOKING ! Not a show for to make a chef out of ordinary retards. And to make it a competition of the sexes? What the heck is that about ? Aren't we all equal?
Why dont we have the mexicans against the canadians next? THis show sucks to high heaven.

Now is the time to tune up those air conditioners!
Dont wait till its the hottest day of the year and find out your AC is on the blink. A few simple thangs can make summer so wonderful in you house. Now is the time to oil up those condenser motors (outside) and those evaporator motors (inside). Use some good quality Zoom oil, Its non-flamable and resists heat! Its just about the slipperyest substance known to man! You must also change you AC filter and even think about cleaning out your A coil Inside and your outside condenser as well. An excellent cleaner for inside coils is FCC-1 from Vapco. Its non rinsing and foaming action works quite well in removing the nastiest slime and buildup on you inside A coil! and you dont have to rinse it so thats a plus. Also you can add Pan pills to you A coil,they work well in allowing your drain to properly dispense water and make your house smell good too. A really nice product for cleaning you outside unit is Brite Alum, this is a VERY good product! Please remember to follow directions on these items to the core.and BE COOL! this summer.
