Cheers Paul.
So there's a transformer in the house circuit or in the appliance?

I should add that residential power comes into the main panel supplied
through three wires - two hot wires and one neutral. Voltage between
either hot wire and the neutral is 110V and between the hot wires it's
220V (since they're opposite phase to each other).

It's a variation on our European 230/400 V scheme.

Yeah, what he said.
The dryer gets power on two hot and one neutral line. For 110 circuits on the dryer it splits out one of the phases
If you’re interested you can look at the schematic in the gallery of the fan repair

OK, inspired by Larry’s California Turkeys, I had to share a MIchigan Turkey. And while putting those 3 images up, I pulled out a small selection of other shots from this year, around the house.
On the Turkeys, we have 2-3 distinct groupings, all of which converge around the bird feeder when I put out seed in the morning. And at this time of year, 3-4 Toms will come strutting through to try and make an impression on the females and younger males. The three shots in this image set are all the same Tom, he is slightly smaller and less aggressive than the others, and so he gets pushed over to the side where I can get his portrait without the others cluttering up the frame.

Back to photography...the turkey pix, I think, are better in this series than the last. 39960 is a pretty classic tom turkey look and 39968 - the tom with is harem of hens is fun.

There are two flocks of turkeys on my ride around the block. This is the small flock on the near side of the hill.

That’s a nice set. On my monitor the shadows look like they could be brought up a bit on a couple of the photos, particularly the turkey shots.
#4, that little black and white jobber is a great photo.

The ideal is to be able to do it, but not be forced to do it. I’d happily
settle for owning things that didn’t break down and need constant repair.
When did you buy the dryer? Who made it? How long did it run before you had to
make repairs?
I've got a 30-40 year old Whirlpool (gas) dryer and the only repair I've ever
had to make on it is to replace the belt that turns the drum.
It doesn't have a fan AFAIK.
But...even more difficult...is admitting to yourself "I have the skills; I
have the tools, but I can't do this anymore." It took me until about 75 to
begin to give up on some household repairs, and now, nearly 5 years later

Falling off a roof can be even more inconvenient than needing to get someone
of else to go on it, not only for you but for the people stuck with taking
care what’s left of you.
That's why roofers use fall prevention systems.
I'm getting too old (if I haven't already) to get up there, but I don't have the
money to pay someone else to do it (or the damn thing would already be fixed).
Couldn't do it this winter, it was too cold & too rainy.
But now that spring is here ... Wish me luck.
PS: I HAVE the fall prevention equipment AND a scaffold to catch me if I do go
off the edge and I'm still too damn old.
