In the Saturday, Feb. 27 Tech Talk column, I overcome a false start and finally fix my ailing Maytag gas clothes dryer.

While Authorized Appliance of Reseda, Calif., was once again instrumental in helping me figure out how to complete the repair, I did find a new appliance-repair Web site, Fixitnow.com - Samurai Appliance Repair Man, that is better than anything I've seen up to now.

Aside from being a most excellent resource on how to fix your broken major appliances, Fixitnow.com is a great example of how to fully use WordPress as both a blogging platform AND general Web site using the Pages function. I'm very much interested in doing this. It's a great way to break out of the blog post, blog post, blog post mold and showcase some more "timeless" content on your site. Like I did here.

Image at right: This image comes from the very same kind of Maytag dryer that I have. (Thanks the Ask Me Help Desk for the image — and a very helpful forum.) The two white plugs with wires protruding from them are plugged into the dryer's two coils, which control the gas valve (the thing they're bolted onto). I replaced the coils (remove both plugs, unscrew bracket, lift coils, replace with new ones, replace bracket, replace plugs) and the dryer now works great.
