Are washers and dryers just taken for their weight as shred metal or is there stuff i should pull out of them besides the cords? How much do u think a washer/dryer is worth as shred metal.

If they are newer models, make sure they don't have a bar of silver inside. Some make colloidal silver as part of the wash cycle to kill bacteria. I believe Samsung washers and maybe a few others have this option.

At the heart of science is an essential balance between two seemingly contradictory attitudes--an openness to new ideas, no matter how bizarre or counterintuitive they may be, and the most ruthless skeptical scrutiny of all ideas, old and new. This is how deep truths are winnowed from deep nonsense. -- Carl Sagan
Learn how to fix them. I used to scrap them, but then tinkered on them to figure out what was wrong. Most of the time it's super simple.

Pull all wires, control pannel is either alum or plastic, Check if the drums are stainless, Brass conectors for waterhoses on the washers, gas line if its a gas dryer along with alum gasline, As for the motor they are now "Alum Wound Motors" so personally I dont bother pulling them anymore for .14/LB when shred is at around .10 - .12/LB. Also check for change and jewelry on the bottoms. Did I miss something????

I take them for weight, motor, and wires. That's it
