Stinky, smelly washing machine? This is almost always a detergent problem!

It's funny how people will plunk down big $$ for these high efficiency (HE) washing machines and then try to save pennies by using cheap detergent. I've written about the follies of the Great Unwashed here. Now, to help put an even finer point on it, Brother John63 delivers today's guest sermon on detergents in today's HE washing machines: Source: Bosch Washer.

Affirmations for Effective Appliance Repair

Running an appliance repair bidness is hard work and can be pretty demoralizing at times.

John Guest fittings

John who? John Guest fittings are those magical fittings that connect plastic tubing in refrigerators and icemakers. The nice thing about them is they don't require any tools to make the connections; just push in/push out.

Musical Tools

We appliance techs love tools. For some of us, this love is so deep and so profound that it moves them to song. DurhamAppliance is one such tech. Let's listen to the music of tools gushing from his heart... Source: US Pro Tools

After clearing the TSA anal cavity check, we'll have a seven hour, bone crushing flight to Zurich where we'll enjoy a five hour wait for our connecting flight.
