Just after 5PM, the selector knob on our dryer fell off and the inner housing cracked. The dryer will not allow us to turn the selector with fingers or a wrench - must be an interlock somewhere.

We called Gray's Appliance in Melrose (where we had originally purchased the dryer) but they close at 5PM. Housemate took her laundry-in-process to a nearby laundromat, but this is not an option for me (I have a horrible head cold and difficulty dealing with noise right now, for one thing...)

If you know of any place in Medford/Somerville/et al that might carry a selector knob for a Frigidaire dryer, please let me know?

The City of Somerville is partnering with East Somerville Main Streets and Foss Fest to kick off the city's SomerStreets initiative, with Carnaval @ Somerstreets!  Somerville's new Open Streets Initiative, SomerStreets, is a monthly celebration from June - October of each year, during which the City closes sections of roads to vehicle traffic in favor of walking, running, biking, dancing, and other activities!  By partnering with local businesses and organizations, one Sunday each month the city transforms different Somerville neighborhoods into celebrations of active living, community pride, and live entertainment.   Find more information on the City's Website:
