Saved a busted dryer with a zip tie and a penny in Cleveland last week
Customer had a Kenmore that kept throwing an error code and stopping mid-cycle. The drum wasn't spinning but the motor hummed. Turned out the belt was loose but not broken, and the idler pulley was wobbly. I wedged a penny behind the pulley bracket and cinched the tensioner arm with a heavy zip tie. Ran three loads with a heat check after and it worked perfect. Anybody else got a ghetto fix that actually held up?

I used to think penny fixes were hacky but honestly that's solid engineering thinking.

What kind of penny fix have you seen actually hold up long term?
