Clamps and Cruises . . .
Today was another all-website all-day long day. I’m probably about 98% done, with just a few nagging things to finish up.
Plus I tend to keep picking at it, changing this and moving that, never quite satisfied with how it looks. But at some point I just have to lock it down and step away from the keyboard.
I’ve still got one more thing, actually two, I guess, to finish up the washer repair. The dryer vent tube is held on to the outside deflector by a 4” stainless steel circle clamp.
But it’s always hard to get reinstalled because there is not quite enough room to get the screw part of the clamp back inside the hole so that it seals up weather tight.
So I’m going to use the saw blade on my Victorinox Swiss Army Tool to cut out a notch in the round opening so the clamp will fit tighter.
And then I’m going to reinstalled the cabinet doors, and the retaining strip.
And if that wasn’t enough I also need to take a look at the microwave again. Back in June I replaced a broken door latch that kept the MW door from opening. But after working fine for several months, it developed a different, but I think, related problem in that the MW seems to turn on, i.e. the fan runs and the timer counts down, but the light in the oven doesn’t come on, and it doesn’t heat.
Usually, but no always, a light tap of the fist on the edge of the door will fix the problem, at least until next time. And if you’re cooking several things in succession, the MW will shut down with the same symptoms.
Since that latch also triggers a safety microswitch, I suspect it’s just slightly out of adjustment, and when it gets hot after extended usage, something expands and no longer makes contact with the switch.
Finishing up, I want to promo my daughter Brandi’s new Travel Agency.
She specializes in one-of-a-kind custom vacations, tailored to your specific wants and needs.
