Well it continues to try and dispense ice to no avail. So time to get the tools out and take that sucker out of the door and see what is going on. I am leaning towards the ice tray heater is not working so not able to release the ice. Either I fix it replace it depending on price or maybe...

No that noise is not the water valve. The water valve only comes on after the ice has been dispensed. It has always made this noise when it is starting to going into dispense mode. It makes the noise and then within 3 or 4 minutes the ice would be dumped into the bin, then the water inlet opens...

The freezer is running fine, temp is holding steady at -5 degrees. 2 trays of ice cubes stacked freeze solid in about 90 minutes. I can hear on regular intervals a noise that comes from the somewhere in the back that it always has made, that happens when it starts to go into dispense mode. Then...

I have a whirlpool sxs with ice maker built in door. It stopped for a day or so and the ice ran out. Checked no blocks of ice built up all was clear. Took the hair dryer to it to make sure nothing melted out. This was about 5 pm. About 4 am the next morning it dumped a load. It now runs very...

I would never leave the kitchen if a burner is set on high, especially if there is a small kettle on the stove. That must have been on for a while to boil the water out and melt the enamel. It is too easy to get distracted and forget what is going on in the kitchen. I always set a timer when...

Better sealing? I haven't canned in years but I remember doing it with my mother a lot. After the water bath she would take them out and put a towel on the counter and turn all the jars upside down for 3 or 4 hours while they cooled. Never had a seal leak. Don't know if this helped or not but...

Have had a water bed for at least the past 30 years. It has a lumbar support in the mattress and is pretty much motionless with the fiber filling the bag. No rising up in the middle with too much water. I have it quite filled so that is pretty firm. Sex is great on it. Previous bed was a basic...

I have that washer in my hair salon. It does a decent job overall. The only thing is that it is easily the loudest machine that I have ever used. During agitation it has some sort of knock to it. I have had my normal repair person out to look at it twice and he says that it is normal for this...

Alternate restrictors I have found ones of different sizes, but they were not produced for this, but seem to work well. Ok here it is. You know the pieces that you use to hold a screw in the wall for sheet rock, they are little plastic pieces that you push in then put the screw into it, well...

In my Whirlpool sc oven the manual states to remove the racks. Well I didn't since I never had in any other stoves which I did. I found out why. After that cleaning, the oven never reached or held the temp correctly. I had to call for service and they came and replace the temp probe in the oven...

I was at the bank this week making my weekly business deposits and had added a couple of dollars worth of change in my deposit. I said to the teller that I had heard about the coin shortage and figured I would help out. She stated that there is no coin shortage that they have heard about. They...

When we used to visit South America in the 90's we stayed in a lot of condo resorts and most to all units had gas a/c units. Most were in a large closet and you could see the gas flames inside the unit. It was warmer in the closet but the condo cooled nicely. It was a central a/c with vents in...

stir fries Have been making a lot of stir fries lately and have been using sesame seed oil. Has a good flavor when used in the vegetables. Now this is an item that is getting harder and harder to find. Have tried vegetable oil. Yuck. I have seen peanut oil avocado oil and walnut oil grape seed...

There is also mason caulking that you can pick up. Used it on my chimney years ago and it is still holding up. Had cracks in the mortar and water was getting in. It was gray in color but you could repaint the whole thing after. Very easy to use in a caulking gun. Jon

How about that stuff you see on tv that you paint over screens and make a boat out of it. lol It comes in black or white. lol don't know if it would work but just tossed it out there. Jon

Oh what problems edge has caused I clicked on the upgrade to edge last week. Oh the problems I have had with it. It cleaned out all my extra utilities that I used all the time. My separate virus protection Sophos, google chrome that I had set up for u-tube and many more with no way of replacing...

Thanks for the better shot of the dial. Could not see all that on the original picture. Jon

About the dryer Ad states that up to 90 minutes drying time which you can see on the dial, but what is on the upper part of the dial. Saw some lettering but can't make it out. Was that part useable or was it dead space on the timer? Jon

Thanks for the chart on the fuses. I looked at the old ones I had and the new ones I purchased. They both had 5 printed on them. The new ones had 5A which were the tan ones. I don't think all manufactures follow this chart or they are foreign knock offs. Since replacing the fuse with the 5A tan...

I seem to have a faint memory lol that you were able to "fix" those mercury thermometers to read correctly. You would submerse it in enough warm to hot water to get the tube filled all the way but not too hot so as not to blow out the tube, then submerge it in cool water to bring it all down...
