After an extensive classified search, I found a used washer/dryer set for $100. I asked the man on the phone, "are they both fully functional?" He assured me everything worked perfectly. Then I went to pick them up. A plump, hairy man with no shirt met me in the driveway and shook my hand. That's when the trouble started...
As I examined the machines, I asked him more pointedly, "Does every function on these work properly?"
"Yes," came the reply from behind the beard. He looked me in the eye, so I believed him. I bought the set.
But the dryer produces no heat. I spins and spins but you have to run it for 24 hours to dry a load at room temperature. So I have two questions:
1) Does anybody know where to begin trying to find/fix the problem?
2) Could I be prosecuted for egging this guy's house, or stealing his fridge, or cutting his beard while he sleeps?
You can be prosecuted only if you're caught. The egging probably is lightest of all the offenses you suggest. Cutting his beard while he sleeps will probably get you locked away for quite a while.
Sorry I don't know anything about dryers.
