Whirlpool Clothes Dryer Parts

Appliance Donation to Help Shelters and Food Pantries

1st Source Servall, one of the country's largest distributors of appliance parts with operations in Western New York, is celebrating its first year of operations in the Northeast by assisting six local organizations that provide services to some of the most vulnerable populations in the community.  1st Source Servall and its local employees are donating 30 new Whirlpool brand appliances to the following Food Bank of Western New York serviced organizations located in Buffalo:

• Compass House • Vive/La Casa

The 1st Source Servall donation includes seven refrigerators, seven washing machines, seven clothes dryers, five dishwashers, two stoves, one freezer and a microwave.  Each organization, which are all serviced by the Food Bank of Western New York, provided a list of their most important appliance needs in hopes to receive some of the items they requested, but when 1st Source Servall saw the lists and realized the needs in the community they decided to fulfill every organization's wish list.  1st Source Servall also donated the costs for the delivery of the appliances as well as installation.  In addition, this donation comes at an opportune time for the shelters and food pantries because they are busier than ever due to the number of homeless in the area rising by close to 2,000 new residents this past year according to a recently released study by the Homeless Alliance of Western New York.

"At 1st Source Servall we have a philosophy of being a good corporate citizen and giving back to the communities we do business in, and this donation is just a small token of our gratitude to these amazing organizations that offer so much for those less fortunate," said Kim Adler, president and CEO,1st Source Servall.  "All the employees at 1st Source Servall are extremely honored to be able to help these organizations in their efforts to make the Western New York community a better place to live."

1st Source Servall has been expanding its operations and facilities throughout the United States over the past year-and-a-half.  The company also has plans to grow its local workforce over the next year as it continues to capture greater market share in New York State and the Northeast.

"This generous donation is a great display of community support by 1st Source Servall that will help these organizations, which are very important to the fabric of WNY and provide essential services to some of the community's most vulnerable," said New York State Senator Timothy M. Kennedy.  "This is a true example of good corporate citizenship and it is vital that we continue to support the critical services provided by these fine community organizations.

RepairClinic.com Helps Homeowner Rescue Whirlpool Clothes Dryer

Most people want to get as much value out of their purchases as possible. Larry Hines of Hemet, California is no exception. "When something goes wrong with an appliance, I don't want to rush out and replace it if I don't have to," says Hines. "Recently, our nine-year-old Whirlpool dryer started to make a loud noise and stopped drying the way it should. My wife thought we should just go out and buy a new dryer, but I said, 'No, I can fix it.' "

After removing the bottom panel and then the front panel with a screwdriver, Larry could see that the dryer's ball bearings needed replacement. "I took the worn Whirlpool bearings to a Sears store about 40 miles from my house, and had the counter person order new bearings, as well as a new belt and seal," says Hines. "The problem was that when I received my appliance parts a couple of weeks later, some of the parts were missing and they had sent me the wrong bearings."

Rather than go through the ordering process again, Larry decided to go online to see if he could order Whirlpool dryer parts online. What he found was RepairClinic.com, an indispensable Web resource that puts decades of appliance repair expertise at your fingertips.

Save time, save money -- fix it yourself

"The Whirlpool dryer parts listed on RepairClinic.com were half the price of those available through Sears, and I received them in just two days," says Hines. "I had the Whirlpool dryer up and running an hour later. Now it's as good as new, and my wife doesn't have to use the clothes line anymore.

"If you have an appliance break down, don't toss it out," say Hines. "Anyone can do repairs -- just email RepairClinic.com's RepairGuru for help."

"We have a huge inventory of appliance parts in our own warehouse. Other companies claim to carry the parts but every order is just passed from their 'virtual store' to a completely different company for fulfillment. We think you're better served if we handle the order from beginning to end," say Chris Hall, president of RepairClinic.com.
