We were stumped. Upon returning from Thanksgiving in TX, we found our dryer would not dry. We were so thankful for the absolute beautiful sunny weather we had the two weeks - fabulous for hanging clothes out on the clothes line! Love the way they smell - like summer in the winter.
We researched and figured out what we thought needed to be fixed, ordered the parts, and still, it would not dry. Not wanting to sink anymore money into our ancient dryer, we looked at a Dint and Ding store that some friends told us about. Found two basic dryers online that fit what we needed, but upon looking at them, they were either hard to open or just didn't seem right. Slowly drifting over to the other dryers, we spotted this baby, a Maytag Maxima® Steam Electric Dryer with Large Capacity. It was certainly not what we were looking for, but honestly, I loved the controls on the front and the totally top surface was flat. It's the simple things in life. It's taller than our washer, but we know it's not going to live forever.
Barely making it home before the rain storm, Honey got it all ready, I ran to Lowes to get a longer connecting hose (I'm sure there is a more technical name, but this is all you get with me) for the steam feature, and plugged it in.

Threw a small load of shirts that needed to be ironed (but I didn't want to), put it on Refresh for the steam function, and oh, I'm LOVING this!!! Wrinkle free! Oh, and it sings a little simple tune. I'm so excited about the new dryer, that I put another load of clothes in the washer so I can dry them.
So, in the end, we are so incredibly thankful for God watching over us in the broken dryer, which lead us to the burned outlet, thus preventing a huge fire and loss of home.
