I was at a home today to check an oven that had no heat. After finding the problem, I needed to lift the unit to reach the wires. My back was a bit stiff from the day before, so I tried some quick stretches. I did some simple back twists and leg pulls for a couple minutes. When I picked up the oven, it felt lighter and I had no extra pain. This little habit helped me get through the visit smoothly. We should all try adding stretches to avoid body aches.
I would stay up too late with my mind racing from loud machines. A quick cool shower calms me down so I can rest properly.
I was swapping out a capacitor in my vintage microwave as a weekend project. When I powered it on, it started humming at a pitch so high my dog started howling along. What's the weirdest noise you've heard from an appliance you were working on?
Had a fridge job where it was running but not getting cold. I shined my big work light on the back and saw a small wet spot from a coolant leak. What simple tricks do you have for spotting leaks like this?
