Dryer for pickup

Mayur from Howick

Hi, I have placed a dryer outside 164 ridge road, free for pickup. It stops intermittently. Not sure, what's wrong with it. Someone with a bit of knowledge about these should be able to fix. Or use for parts.

Cheers,

Time spent in respite care can range from a single night to a few weeks. It provides a welcome break and peace of mind knowing that your loved one will receive round-the-clock care from friendly, experienced care teams.

May Kitchen knows how important it is to provide carers with a break. After visiting her husband Stuart in respite care at a Ryman village, she was tempted to move in herself! “If it was me, I think I would enjoy it because it’s just so beautiful and the food is good.”

Ryman villages provide warm and welcoming communities. Where residents can enjoy activities and outings while forming friendships along the way.
