Another letter to Bennington





Dear Mr. Edgar,


You entered apartment #1419 to repair the dryer today. You left a working order that states “check dryer. It is blowing hot air.” Indeed the dryer will always blow hot air when you first turn it on. But the hot air will not continue for more than 5 minutes. To see it yourself, I suggest you throw a wet towel in the dryer, turn it on, and then come back in 5 minutes. I guarantee you the dryer will be shut down when you return. A dryer that blows hot air for less than 5 minutes is as useful as a toilet that cannot flush.


I would appreciate you repair the dryer to its full condition. This has been the fifth times I file a repair request about the dryer. And every time, the maintenance persons seem to leave the property in a hurry when they feel the first breeze of hot air. Please stay a little longer. Do not leave until you witnessed the dryer function for more than 5 minutes. Feel free to drink the beverage in the refrigerator while you are waiting. I have no doubt the dryer will not perform any better when you are present than what I’ve seen in the past few months, that is, it will not work for more than 5 minutes. As unpleasant as the recent weather is, it is ironic that a continuous hot air could be found everywhere but the place that needed it most--my dryer.


And if you confirmed that the dryer could not function for more than 5 minutes; and you realized even with your expertise, the wicked dryer still refuse to be repaired, I appreciate you replace the dryer. Particularly, I prefer you replace it with a dryer that could work a full cycle.


Thank you for your work.



Sincerely,
