TRI COUNTY APPLIANCE SVC

Description of Work: My dryer was not drying. Getting no heat, although the dryer would tumble. My normal repair guy said I probably blew the thermal something or other due to a venting problem, but they were not available for a week. Called this repairman (whom I'd never used) to see if I could get someone out sooner. Guy came out at 6 p.m. that day. I was thrilled, especially since I didn't call until that afternoon. Basic service call fee was only 60.00, which I was also happy about., my regular guy charges 85.00 for a basic service call. However, the guy fixed the one part (the one my regular guy said was probably the problem), declared my problem solved and left. To be certain I did not blow this thermal part again, I got up in the attic and checked every INCH of my vent hose to be sure that I had good air flow. All was fine. However, I discovered the next day that the problem WAS NOT solved. My dryer is still not heating up. I never even got ONE load to dry! Called the guy back. He got huffy and said he could "warranty that part" only ONE time and he would change it again, but if "it blew" again, that was my problem. He kept insisting that I had a venting problem. To be sure, I got up in the attic AGAIN, checked every inch of my hose from the back of the dryer to where it exits the house. No blockages, no problems. Mind you, I've had bird's nests, and other blockages for long periods of time and never blew that thermal part! I just had really long drying times. He came out, changed the SAME PART again, still did not fix the problem and refused to help any further. Kept insisting it was something I was doing wrong! Called my normal guy back. Will have to wait several more days before he can come out, but he says that likely I've had SOME OTHER part melt down which is causing this thermal part to immediately blow, NOT my vent. So, I will wait for the right guy to come back out and fix ALL the problems and pay lots more money. Very frustrated. Interesting to note, I talked to TriCounty about WHY this part is blowing since I DO NOT have any venting blockages. He specifically SAID that it could be another part that has malfunctioned causing this thermal part to blow each time, but instead of checking the other parts out, he just put another thermal part on AGAIN and no surprise, it blew immediately! He refuses to come back out or refund any of the 95.00 I paid him.
