SAMSUNG DRYER
DVE52A5500W/A3
The tech told me he could not find anything wrong. I tried to explain that the Samsung rep videos what my dryer was doing. Your tech left and later in evening I tried to dry some sheets and the dryer was doing the same thing it did before. Shutting off after 4 minutes. Now I have to go thru the whole process again. Contacting Samsung and setting up another appointment and not having access to a dryer for a couple weeks. Very frustrating

Rory was personable and professional, even though he had to give me the news that my stove was dying and needed to be replaced. Then he gave me excellent suggestions of three places to go and why he would choose them. We ordered a new stove from one of them yesterday and I was very pleased with the service we got there also.
