If the unit will run some of cycles and not others that sounds like the touch pad, not the control board. Sounds like the repair "technician" gave you a response that is likely more convenient than accurate.

If a jiggle of the connector causes the connection to drop a spritz of DeOxit D5 might fix that issue, it works wonders on connection resistance issues. But here is the real solution, and far less costly than the other option above even with the custom cords...

I made a DC power supply for my DSL modem and Wifi router/access point so I can run for about 36 hours through an outage. You could just plug these devices into a computer UPS but stepping the battery voltage up to 120v AC and back down costs a lot of run time. I use a 7 amp hour 12v lithium...

>with some modern self clean ovens, won't using the SC cycle fry the electronics? If they are poorly designed maybe. Hopefully they don't place the circuit board inside the oven cavity ;) I do know of a wall oven a friend had that failed the control board during a self-clean cycle. Hardly a...

Was historically an HP fan. I still maintain one old (2004) HP Inkjet printer just because wide carriage printers for B size 11x17 prints are 'spensive. I have physically had that printer apart at least 5 times in the laundry tub for cleaning. If there was a better wide format option then one...

First off cellular carriers are regional on both availability and coverage so take recommendations with a grain of that salt. I have been with the carrier that is now T-Mobile since 1998 (originally it was Aerial then Voicestream). They were always strong here in Minneapolis so I've always been...

Never understand why folks think baking soda is the answer to all. The surface is glass so it is impervious to just about anything. I'd start with a soak of dishwasher detergent or PBW (Powdered Brewers Wash). A spray of EasyOff would work too. A mild abrasive like the liquid version of Bar...

Two Words Cold & Weak Of course that is assuming they work. I was given a Keurig Mini for Christmas one year, it brewed about 6 cups then stopped. I exchanged it at the retailer (something I rarely do as it isn't their problem) for a replacement. The second one maybe brewed 12 cups, the...

Looks to be worth about a penny a pound as heavy melt

I wouldn't place any aluminum I cared about in an electric self cleaning oven! Aluminum suffers from hot shortness which means it loses a lot of it's structural strength at temps over 700F or so. A self cleaning oven can easily get to 900F which really isn't that far from the actual molten temp...

One of the houses up the hill on Tonquil St in Beltsville had a gas absorption central AC unit. It may have been your house Tom, or a couple doors down. I remember John and Jeff hauling the outdoor unit down the the hill on the old trusty Craftsman hand truck, that thing was a heavy beast, the...

Does proximity of the remote change it's functional reliability? Hold the remote right at the sensor on the TV, this will determine if you are dealing with a low signal to noise issue or a non functioning sensor in the TV.

Fix the Sunbeam!! They are the perfect toaster assuming you don't need wide slots for bagels etc. The radiant control makes for the most consistent toasting batch after batch no matter if the appliance is hot or not (or the bread cold). I've been using the same one (made in 1955) for about 20...

Gas heated dryers are noticeably faster too. Can't fathom choosing an electric dryer if you have natural gas to the home.

Ran across this video today. Decent overview of how things work. This channel has other really well made videos also. He did quite an involved episode on the Toastmaster toaster that is worth a look too.

A larger internal hose diameter has more surface area to have pressure against it. For a given wall thickness a smaller diameter will have a higher burst pressure. The stainless braid on the outside sure looks pretty, but it likely does nearly nothing to make the hose more burst resistant. Best...

A short soak and rinse in any detergent will do just fine as far as killing anything on the mask. I'd use whatever you have on hand. I hand wash my hats all the time with powdered Tide a tablespoonful in a small bucket of hot water, works amazingly well.

This is one of the most touching documentaries I've ever seen, if you have Netflix it is worth a look. The director spends 7 years capturing a portion of these women's lives. The wealth of historical family photos and movies add lots of depth to the story.

After a few hundred thousand years of man cooking over fire one would think we have further evolved by now. But we are creatures of habit I suppose. I can't imagine having a gas stove in a home, especially a modern home that is tight and no longer has the constant ventilation of a standing flu...
