It's really very simple. The fault in Buerste's refrigerator that
mysteriously disappeared when he took it apart (see "Take apart - put
together syndrome" thread) has tunneled into your refrigerator. It's
one of those quantum mechanics things that physicists can write
equations about, but nobody really understands. The best that you can
hope for is that your fault has a propensity for tunneling and that it
will do so & go somewhere else. There is some evidence that taking
apart & putting back together can provoke tunneling.

Good luck,
Bob

I don't remember where I got this but it seems to be what you
alluded to.

The Law of Conservation of Bustedness

There's only so much stuff that can be working correctly in the universe at any one
time.

Corollary I - If you fix something, something else will break.
Upon fixing something, "broken" particles are emitted in random directions. These
paths cannot be predicted (Heisenberg's principle) nor controlled. When a "Broken"
particle hits an object, that object will break.

Corollary II - If you break something, something else will fix itself.
Upon something breaking, "Anti-broken" particles are emitted in random directions.
These paths cannot be predicted nor controlled. When an "Anti-Broken" particle hits
an object, that object will fix itself.


Discussion:
Experimental evidence has shown that the mean path length of the "Anti-Broken"
particle is far greater than that of the "Broken" particle. The consequence of this
is that something will break in the near vicinity of something fixed; and something
breaking will cause a distant object to fix itself.
