Happy iTimes If you have no guarantee or service warranty, maice aouDiy sure you need the repairman be- fore you call him. Check whether the appliance is plugged in and the outlet working.

If your dealer has none, write the manufacturer.

A good rule of thumb is: , When the repair bill is more than half the original cost of the appliance j a! trade-i- n may be a better bargain than a repair. How long should various alliances last? Says one manufacturer: The life of refrigerators, ranges and vacuum cleaners range from 10 to 20 years; 5 to 10 years for your dishwasher: to 20 years for a clothes washer, and about 10 years f6r an electric sewing machine. No estimate is given for your TV. How long it lasts, depends on how much you use it. (All rights reserved,. News-paper Enterprise Assn.)
