How will I know it stopped?

We have had our dryer for a long time and over time it was getting louder and louder until it was ridiculously noisy. It also seemed to take longer to dry the clothes and it seemed to get hotter. This seemed to be ironic that the dryer was hotter, but the clothes took longer to dry.

Well my wife Dawn wanted to get a new dryer. As a last ditch effort we found a retired gentleman that fixes dryers and was willing to come take a look at it. He replaced some rollers, added some grease, replaced a pulley, shortened the vent hose and cleared a clog from the exhaust. He said the long hose and the clogged exhaust was causing it to get hot and not dry as well.

Immediately the dryer was significantly quieter. When Dawn heard how quiet it was she said see could barely hear it, and then immediately said "How will I know it stopped?" I told her it beeps when it is done. She said "Yeah, that's right." It had been so noisy we never heard it beep.

The guy billed us $35 for parts, labor and the trip. We tipped him really well.
