Miele Our training was very thorough; it centered on theory of operation and finding what was wrong with the sequence to pinpoint the issue. Unfortunately, the newest member of the service team in New England was a millennial whose father owned an all-brands repair company. Add on to that that...

Hi all, Has anyone had luck repairing cement? The bowl cracked maybe 10 years ago and I was able to repair it with an epoxy, then used a sealant on the crack (that's the crack you see going from about 3:00 - 7:00 in the photo). It's been fine since, until... I noticed it wasn't holding water...

Eddie- Sometimes simpler is better! When customers would ask me about the difference between the $900 and $2600 Miele dishwasher, I literally told them, "bells and whistles." The more features and gadgets it has, the more that can go wrong! I mean, who needs lights inside the cabinet of the...

Hey there, I'd appreciate a little help with this one as I've not worked with a 2-speed one before. When I plug it in, nothing; no noise, buzz... nothing. Obviously I'm gonna check voltage at the end of the supply cord, but after that? I'm guessing that I can check the switch using the black as...

Like John said, when I was servicing Miele we had brackets for the filters that would break if too much pressure was put on them, which is what some aftermarket filters did. But, I can't blame people for buying them when Miele charges $73 a pop for a 6-month filter! Chuck

kreplah Mike, I guess technically they would be, since they're a meat filling in dough, also like ravioli. I think the main difference would be the thin wonton skins that are used as a wrapper and the Asian seasonings in the pork. Chuck

Thread timing Funny- I literally just finished re-wiring a ca 1936 Heinz rubber fan. The base and blades are a rubber-like compound! Boy does she push some air! Now all I need to do is clean her up. Nightly we have a cheap Honeywell plastic 3-speed in the bedroom window for pulling in cooler...

I don't think mine would be a cassoulet, but I make a slow-simmered "stew" of sorts with a melange of meats. Took a pound of ground pork out of the freezer and seasoned it so we could have wontons and pork balls for Udon noodle soup! Chuck

WOW! I ventured out to get my hair cut Friday and stopped in at the supermarket in the same plaza; Hannaford. Generally the only time I go there is for corned beef briskets around St Pat's Day because for some reason they're the cheapest, and if I need to run in for 1 or 2 items. They're on the...

Miele has been using the "stirrer blade" in the roof for years in the speed ovens. Those have a major flaw though when it comes to cleaning though. There's a thumb nut near the right end of the broil element that you can remove. The element then swings down, hinged on the left end, but not...

The no-knead Dutch oven bread uses AP flour and is a good loaf (link below)! Luckily our cousin has been quite lucky finding bread flour for me recently, but I use it for bagels, not bread. Chuck https://www.lifeasastrawberry.com/easy-crusty-french-bread/print/9790/

Update! We finally plugged in for a couple of hours last night- runs nicely! I was knackered (fell asleep) so Rich unplugged it and we saved the testing for today. It's been running since about 10AM. Nice little click when she starts (relay) then she purrs like a kitten! I have it set on 4 on...

Ralph, It looks a little like something that was called a "Priazzo Verona Italian Pie" from Pizza Hut years ago (name, spelling and restaurant may be incorrect! LOL!). Basically a double pizza stacked. When I did my interpretation of it, I basically made a pie with regular pizza dough for the...

@ John- we have a manual that came with it, pic attached. If yours is different, we'd appreciate the PDF. If you don't have the one we have I could scan it to you. @ David- Oops! I did the wiring Monday so.... I did use crimp connectors but I also crimped the crimp, so to speak, so that it...

OK. Got the wire needed (14 ga THHN in red, whit and black thanks to an electrician friend who had surplus!) and did the rewiring. We'll see Wednesday night when we fire it up! I was hoping to splice into the r/w/b line going through the back wall into the controls, but no such luck. It was all...

We did plug it in with the pigtail that was wire-nutted to it for a minute to see if it cooled, and the freezer definitely felt like it was cooling. There aren't any shots of the "whole thing" as it's living in my Pilot on its side waiting for me to re-wire today. Then, 48 hours upright before...

Hey all, So we found this fridge at an estate sale where people were let in one at a time by appointment. The power cord was crispy-critters, so I'm replacing it with an 8' replacement 2-wire 16 ga. cord. Meanwhile, I realized that the wires to the compressor are also crispy, and the relay-end...

We have another couple coming over for a socially-distanced dinner by the fire outside. Strawberry-rhubarb pie for dessert! A loaf of Dutch-oven bread with dinner (cheeses, charcuterie, wine...) just because! Chuck

Eddie- I was gonna ask- is $5/# for Angus brisket high? As for poor man's meat, chicken wings and flank steak used to be the dregs of the animal. Now they're pricey! Wings here are routinely more expensive than boneless/skinless breast or thighs! Chuck

Market 32 is a Price Chopper brand, FYI. Chuck
