The service was ASAP, however the repair man was either careless or just lazy. After the dryer was repaired I went down the basement to try it out, only to see that the dryer vent was not venting correctly (dust/lint blowing out the bottom of the dryer). When I looked at the back of the dryer there was a big hole in the duct work. This was because the original dryer elbow (sturdy metal like attachment) was thrown in my trash can and the repair man attached the foil-like duct work directly to the back of the dryer (gas dryer output). Then when he went and pushed the dryer back in its spot, the foil-like duct work tore (because it was dragging on ground---the elbow would keep duct work off the ground) and left the foil-like duct work with a nice size hole right at the dryer output. I took the dryer elbow out of the trash and took the time to install it correctly. The elbow allows a sturdy and safe connection to the foil-like duct work. Had I not of noticed this, the lint could have piled up in and around the hole, and a fire could have started. Quick service is nice, but when the job is not done correctly and leads to a serious hazard, sadly, the cost could have been more than just money alone!
