Something doesn't work so you take it apart and troubleshoot all the

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!



I don't have that problem. I show up and the machine starts working which
frustrates the
person that called me.

The worst problems with machines are intermittent, especially those that
"fix themselves" just long enough to allow the fault log, if any, to
fully reset.

"Electronic record of fault conditions to assist diagnosis and service,"
my arse!
