Default Take apart - put together syndrome

In my experience, I've discovered that you can fix almost anything by taking
it apart, carrying the parts around the block, and putting them back
together again.

Something doesn't work so you take it apart and troubleshoot all the
components. You can't find anything wrong so you put it back together
and...IT WORKS PERFECT! It has happened to me for forever but what's
going on? My latest is the icemaker in the kitchen refrigerator. I spent
hours and hours finding documents and troubleshooting. No, it wasn't
frozen-up, (the most common fault it seems) the motor worked, the
thermostat checked out, the heater passed muster. The water valve is OK
and all cleaned out. (I've replaced plenty of those in different units
over the years). Of course, I find nothing else that could cause it to
crap out so put it all back together and...it works just fine. Go figure.
I've had hundreds if not thousands of this kind of thing, I'll bet
everybody else does too!
