I mean, is it really that tiny though? Semicolons matter in JavaScript, they literally tell the parser where one statement ends and another begins.

Not sold yet" - yeah same here. Switched my Accord and honestly don't notice much.

A $280 board on a 10 year old machine is basically gambling that nothing else breaks next month... a used replacement dryer can often be found for the same price on Facebook Marketplace. The real gamble is investing that much into a machine where the motor, drum rollers, or belt could be the next thing to go without warning. Those old control boards are usually simple enough that a $10 relay swap fixes the real issue, and then you're not throwing money at a dying appliance.

Is it really that big a deal though?

Ngl, this reminded me of my buddy Marcus who had the same issue in his old apartment. He tried the graphite trick after his cat would sneak out at 3AM and sound like a tiny herd of elephants on the wood floors. Worked for about a week until his cat figured out how to stomp louder on the spots he missed. @kellygarcia you should totally try it, just make sure you hit every single board or youll still get that one random creak that makes you think a ghost is rearranging your furniture. Marcus eventually gave up and just started wearing earplugs, so maybe that's the real long term solution if the graphite fails.
