Mike, between you and Straker I think you guys know everything I need to.
And they wonder why women love the internet. I just have to figure out which
guy to ask about my malfunctioning light fixtures (not turning on; no it's not
a
fuse or bulb), dishwasher (not draining; I've been told it's cheaper to buy a
new one than repair), disposal (motor suddenly stopped except for a low hum),
a/c (doesn't cool, which is deemed a problem in the a/c world), refrigerator
(leaking), washing machine (pouring water all over the floor underneath
it).... why do all appliances quit working simultaneously? There *must* be a
reason. Explain that, Mike. And these aren't even old. Well, the fridge is.
The
a/c I was told last summer needed a $2000 compressor, then a second opinion
fixed it (for 2 summer's worth) with a $25 part (tomorrow I will search the
house for the alleged Air Conditioning Filter. I hope it's labeled somehow).
I
wanted to kill the first guys. Fridge is ancient I can't complain. Washing
Machine 5 yrs. Dishwasher 2 yrs. Disposal 2 yrs. Are appliances considered
disposable items anymore?? When I was a kid we had the same appliances, fully
functional, for decades.
