The curse did hit again. Now my fridge is dying. I have all the luck. Guess what I'll be doing today?
On the back of your fridge at the bottom is a metal panel. Unplug your fridge and remove the panel. It has the warning: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THIS PANEL UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE OR YOU WILL DIE! There's going to be a lot of dust bunnies and animal hair in there. And a little fan. Vacuum the crap out of it. The fan. The coils. Everything. If you've got a wet/dry vac, try to get the water that's sure to be in the bottom of your access area. Plug it back in and make sure that little fan is spinning freely.

My beer is ice cold, you insufferable fleck of poo. But my A/C is still busted and won't be fixed until tomorrow. Maybe.
And, after the coolest summer in my city's history (thanks, Obama), we are in a stretch of 95 degree weather that should last a few days. That's, like, 6.72 Kilometres for you metric Commies.

I am the latest to be hit with the curse of the home appliances My hot water heater may have taken a The HVAC guy thinks it is some "coupling" part, so we shall see. I won't be home, the kids have their sports banquet tonight, so is letting him in, if he's not asleep

FINALLY! I can finally chime in this thread! I felt kind of left out tbh. So my garbage disposal broke I am quick. I bought a new one from Home Depot. Now I need a plumber! Well, I always need one, but this time is a must
I can replace a garbage disposal. But it would be cheaper for you to fix the one you have. Google up your serial number and find the motor ID number (that's likely the issue) and order one. For land's sake, git yer hands dirty.
Sorry about your water heater, Ly. Get an estimate on the part and labor. Might be cheaper to get a new one and ... GIT YER HANDS DIRTY!

Atreyu, I do not have a penis, therefore I do not do home repairs . I leave that to the professionals. A little knowledge is dangerous. As it turns out, it was a power cupling (sp?) or something of that nature. However, although there is no rust on the water heater itself (which came with my house, which I closed on in May of '97) the HVAC guy recommends I replace it sooner, if not later. So, hopefully I can hold on until my income comes back in the form of a tax return and I can replace it to the tune of $800.00

The long awaited death of my water heater has come to pass. It was a stretch to make it to March 1st and March 1st was it. Plus, I got a nice letter from the IRS saying they were checking on my Obamacare, so my return would be "delayed" So we have been boiling water on the stove and putting it in the tub. And to top it off, I started to work out last night, came home, went to boil some water and my stove took a dump. Called the electrician and my neighbor and it's not a fuse, it's the stove. So, no stove/oven and no hot water, and no money coming in.

Aw sheets, it sounds like you are in a rumbling river of shit Ly. Hopefully things will get fixed soon, until then: dinner and shower at the neighbours!
Lyanna! You're off the hook for cooking! Hang in there, and don't break anything else. Surely there's a cute neighbor who wants to provide a hot...whatever.

Well, I told my brother if he didn't help me, my three stinky children and I were going to show up on his doorstep. So, now the guy is at my house right now installing a hot water heater, which is 1/2 the cost of the one I was going to get and I don't have to pay him for it until I get my return, whenever the hell that is. So cool on that point. The stove, we found out is was a burned out heating element, so we pulled that one out and the other three work just fine. So, we have three burners working out of four and don't need a new stove, yeah! So, now just having to order the heating element. But, we all got a hot bath last night but not until 8:00 and we had to go one at a time and I insisted on going first :) Will keep ya posted.

I have an opposite sort of story.
When I bought this house, I was told the dishwasher didn't work.
It was no problem, I hadn't had a dishwasher since I was a teenager and lived with my mama.
They fixed some things around the place before I moved in, but never said what, I just noticed them.
I don't know why, but I got a weird feeling the other day, and decided to see if the dishwasher worked. It does. I gues they fixed that, too.
What makes it funny is...
I've lived here for two years, and just figured out this week they fixed the dishwasher.

Dishwasher is a very first world thing, few people here in the summer isles own them as they use a lotta water and water is expensive. We just put on a kettle, pour it in the sink with some soap and handwash it. Easy peasy.

They make dishwashers these days which use very little water. That said, it's been so long since I've used one, it feels really weird. The only reason I'm even trying it is because it free up space on my kitchen counter to not have a dish rack. I may go back to hand-washing, though.

Dishwashers are sort of a premium product here too, but why do you need to boil water in a kettle to use on the dishes, Donnie? No running hot water? Or is it cheaper that way?
My current home, which I have had since 1997, has a working dishwasher. However, it is the first one I have had. Grew up without one, apartments never had one, last house didn't have one. Now, I will never get rid of it, either, because I find old appliances work better than new ones. BTW, you had a spare lying around, Atreyu?

If you live with a couple of roommates a dishwasher is a musthave. It's insane how little people these days know about proper hygene. Last week I had to explain to a fucking 23-year old how to clean a fucking toilet, and not to use the fucking dish-towel to mop up water on the floor. Jeez!!

Both electricity and water is expensive here, so a water heater is double-trouble in that regard.
I would say most people here feel no need for hot water, since it is always warm here, the water from the tap is pretty warm during the day...now don't talk about night showers!

Dishwasher broke. Well, it had a good run. Four whole days. Pour one out for my homie.
Frigidaire (unlike nearly all other manufacturers) does not make dishwashers with side mounting brackets, only the top mounting variety. Which are secured with ... glue; so our new appliance became unsecured. It still works and Frigidaire helpfully offered to sell the parts to me for $25. Not much in the grand scheme of things, but I'll be damned if I am paying extra for something that should be standard. They offered me 10% off for the parts and I offered to be home when they come to pick up the dishwasher.
Likely I will get satisfaction from where I purchased the thing. I do like it and I seriously doubt the retailer will force me to return the dishwasher over a $20 part.

My car stopped running. Had to bicycle to downtown Berkeley and take transit up the hill to my other church job. Thank God for a municipality with a decent public transit system.

Happy to report house is in perfect condition except a small, insignificant problem.
The toilet in the small bathroom doesn't work so I had to close the water because it was constantly running. I didn't know that. I found out about it because the lady who runs the Condo Assoc said SOMEONE is having too much fun with the water and the water bill for the city that the condo pays is HUGE. No one admitted to anything and I was the first to propose to raise the assessment because that's the kind of involved person I am and I didn't want ONE person to feel guilty and come out and say that they have more people in the house taking extra showers or something.
Then I went home and checked out everything. And there it was. My small bathroom toilet was running water. I felt really bad and I paid extra with this assessment.
