The day a Kenmore dryer in St. Louis almost broke me

Got a call for a dryer not heating, simple enough. Spent four hours on a 1998 Kenmore stacked unit because the previous guy used the wrong thermal fuse and glued the housing shut with some kind of epoxy. Had to cut the whole back panel off without wrecking the vent line. Anyone else run into these old units where every repair is a puzzle from the last tech?

Epoxy? That's just tech terrorism, lmao.

Watched my buddy try to fix his phone screen with that stuff. Glued his fingers to the case for a solid hour... total chaos.

Honestly that's the perfect way to put it. That stuff is like a permanent trap for anything it touches. Tbh watching people try DIY fixes with epoxy is pure comedy until you realize they just ruined a whole device. Ngl it should come with a warning label that just says "you will regret this.
