My parents had a dryer they bought in 1947 and my dad kept it running until the mid 1990s, so about 50 years. My dad replaced the bearings about every ten years

My parents had a dryer they bought in 1947 and my dad kept it running until the mid 1990s, so about 50 years. My dad replaced the bearings about every ten years and I think had to replace a switch once. I believe it was from Sears.
- maxerickson 4y agoMy dryer from sometime in the 90s has parts commonality with dryers built in the 1960s. I didn't try to figure out if it's also the case with any presently available models.
