Depends on the coin mechanism. If it's a coin slide that you put all 4 quarters in then push the slide back, then there are two solutions. First, and best, would be to fill the quarter slots with blanks, then you could just push the slide when you need to start it. Second would be to just take off the service door and you would be able to reach your hand in and push on the same mechanism the slide would, of course you would need to keep your hand away from any wiring to avoid a possible electric shock. If it's a coin drop, where you put one quarter in at a time and the unit counts the quarters as you put them in, then you wouldn't be able to just start it, but you could reprogram the board accept just one quarter instead of 4, and you would need the manual as each manufacturer has a different process to do that.

Dryer wont work

I'm assuming that the dryer is gas, since both the washer and dryer are on the "same" breaker. I'd try replacing the wall plug before replacing the dryer. If you have a voltage tester, you should see if you are getting an honest 110 volts coming off the circuit. Since the circuit was a problem before, I would test it first and then more on.

Dryer not working

becky843,
Huuum,at your service!

With an error code.
This can reset the system.
First unplug the washer and wait a 5 minutes then restart it.
It's like rebooting your computer when its acting strange!
Usually it corrects some error problems.
if they are not serious, or they are a temp glitch!

If the appliance is 10 years old or more you it may not be advisable to put good money into bad!
New appliances are so much more efficient today that they can save you a lot of money in energy!!!!

Stacking Frigidaire dryer on washer using stacking kit 5303937141

You have to take the top off the washer a put it aside. You no longer need the top. Then you put the two angle brackets on the front top of the washer. this is where the front of the dryer will attach. The back of the washer either has or needs the brackets put on the top (been a long time since I did this). Remove the leveling legs from the dryer. Then lift the dryer and slide it on top of the washer with the back touching the top of the washer and the front about 2 inches higher than the washer top. The back of the dryer slides into the back brackets which are on the top back of the washer. Then lower the front of the dryer and the two "L" brackets on the front top of the washer slide through cracks into the dryer. Pop off the two plastic plugs on the dryer bottom front and place a screw in each one to hold the unit in place. Replace the plastic caps and you are done.

Bosch exxcel wvt1260

I have a Haire combo unit. (washer/dryer) The dryer is a condenser type. I had a this problem with the dryer part of my unit. It was still under warranty at the time so naturally I called. When the tech came out he discovered that the heating element had melted the fan all over the blower elements. this problem could have been fixed, however, Haire came out with a newer model and couldn't get the parts anymore because they weren't making them anymore. Needless to say that totally sucked. But, at least the washer still works great. Upon doing a little research, I discovered that most condenser dryers do get too hot to support one or more of thier internal elements. I would not get another dryer like this without asking about this problem and if there has been any rectification of this issue and how so.
