    Sir, you have just literally rescued me! In my area we are experiencing record-breaking low temps and are about to have a snow storm. I was vacuuming and heard a click noise and my living room lights went out. Did I mention I work from home my desk is in my living room?
    Thanks again sir. I'm so glad I don't have to have my nosy landlord come out to my apartment 😅. I would give this video a million likes if I could

    Thank you so so much!!! As a single mom, I don’t know how to do everything around the house when it breaks and I can’t afford to always call a service man. I had to replace the timer on my dryer and in doing that- I had the back panel off while waiting for new timer to arrive. (The stem broke) as I was drying a load of clothes, I knocked the timer box out of the bracket by accident and sparks flew. When the new timer came, I stripped the melted wire tip and replaced the terminal. Hooked everything up and .. no power! I didn’t check the breaker for a while- but when I did.. I couldn’t get it to stay in the ON position. I followed your directions and now my dryer works! Thank you thank you thank you!!! 😁 EXTREMELY HELPFUL!
