Well last night I accidentally fixed the crushed ice selector button that had gotten pushed in and wasn't working. For a few days, we were only able to select cubed and water from the selector panel. DH asked me how I did it, and I really don't know, I was just fiddling with it with a paring knife and a chopstick. So we have crushed ice. He was amazed and happy, told me I am a genius, LMAO. I explained it was a fluke. He can attribute my cooking to genius if he likes, but appliance repair is not my thing, LOL.
Our old ice maker won't stay stabalized and attached, it tilts slightly, so when it fills with water, the water drips into the bin and clumps all of the ice in the bin. DH would set her upright and make sure she was attached properly, and she would tilt slightly within the day. For days DH wasn't listening to me and he would take out the ice bin, loosen it all up, take large clumps out, and then as she made ice, she would spill water all over the cubes and it would happen all over again. My suggestion was to lift the arm to turn her off and use the portable ice maker to fill the bin and not let her make ice anymore. Last night he finally listened, and now no clumped ice. It only takes about 3 hours for our portable ice maker to fill up the bin and it's no hardship to do it. I bought that little portable ice maker from Walmart last year for about $70 and it's been great!
Looking forward to the end of the month when our new refrigerator will arrive. It's going to be tricky for them to get it in the house (might have to take off the door) but it will fit through the hall and other spaces, and it's going on a wall with nothing above it and only a moveable wine cabinet next to it and the pantry closet on the other side. I am dreaming of neatly placed containers and a semi-full refrigerator that still has plenty of space in it...
msmofet how are you liking your new refrigerator?
