First time I ever saw smoke rise from the upper vents of the case. "well that probably isn't good"

You have to keep the smoke in the wires when it comes to electric power. The smoke in the wire is what moves the electrons. When the smoke comes out. You no longer have electric.

I swear the applications team is literally just a bunch of line cooks who swear at each other every other second and drink on the job while stressed out 24/7.

Might be cheaper to fix, depending on what let the magic smoke out.

www.appliancepartspro.com is the best source for parts.

The problem is most parts are back ordered. I waited 9 weeks for the tub wheels on my dryer.

I had ordered a heater element for my Samsung front load and got it in about 3 days. I think I ordered it about 2 months ago.

I had to replace all 4 of the tub support wheels on that dryer also, I ordered them last year and had just finished replacing them when I found out that the heating element had broken....

Susan added the decals to the engine brace during the first trip out to Madwi's. I don't have the heart to take them off. She was really proud of herself to help out.

Nope. Haven't touched it at all this week. To damn cold out. I brought my small space heater out to the garage, but it did jack chit. Suppose to be mid 30s on Friday. I may try then.

Also, has anyone heard from Zoren again lately? Haven't seen the guy in a bit.

Leingod · 12-08-2020, 09:49 PM

I made a discord server if anyone would like to join. Would just be us primarily. Hopefully less drama as well....

The link should be good for a week.
