Re: Mechanical troubles!

I think the method they use for appliances is electrostatic; the charge is what makes it stick.

WRONG....

They do make paint for appliances. I had the front of
a dishwasher painted years ago.... One of the auto
body shop workers used to do it on the side from
home... he painted everyones stuff. Of course, he had
the equipment to do it.(air brushes etc from painting
cars)

Lets see, I have an Amana fridge that is now

about 5 years old.  It

works great, but I hate the color (beige).  It

was bought urgently after

our second-hand fridge died one day.  Stupidly I

ordered the color that

matched the kitchen counters (which I hate).  So-

I'm actually hoping

this fridge dies soon, so I can justify getting a

new one that is not

such a hideous color.  Live and learn- word of

advice- order appliance

that you like- not that match the kitchen color

you hate!

GE.  It is a piece of crap!  I can't believe it

when it crapped out!

Yep, it has a motherboard.  I was a little

surprised too, but I

think that
all new fridges do these days, so it appears.

It looks like the

my laptop.

Needless to



say



we did not purchase the extended warranty.  I

took it apart

yesterday to



see



if I could figure out what was wrong and/or

fix it, but I couldn't

find



the



problem.  Got a repair guy in to look at it.

Turns out the

motherboard



is



bad.  Yep, the fridge has a motherboard.  The

repair guy wants

$300 to



fix



it, but I found the motherboard online for

$120, so I'm going to

try to



fix



it myself.  Hopefully I can fix it for $120,

so I don't have to spend



$700



on a new one.  Sheesh!

Replacing the breakers is one of the first

things I did when I

got in
here.
The electrician looked at what was here and

asked what garage

sale did
they
get these things from??

We need to replace our panel, too. It's only

100-amp and the main





breaker





hasn't been made for a number of years.

Lowest estimate we've

had is
$1,400--so I don't know when we'll get to

it.

It is not as costly as I was imagining to
