Default Refrigerator not working again!

A locksmith I used to know. Says "You can do the job, and
they can't.
That's why they call you. And you got to charge em for
it."

That nylon rod bit sounds like you want to be careful what
you're
doing.

There is an old parable in the electronics service industry
that goes something like this:

A person has an expensive piece of electronics equipment
that is not working correctly. He calls the repair center
and the next day a repairman shows up. He looks at the
symptoms, removes the back cover, gets out a screwdriver and
makes an adjustment inside. The equipment works perfectly
again. He submits the bill:

Repair expensive electronic equipment. Total $100.

The customer shouts, "That is outrageous! All you did is
make an adjustment inside." The repairman takes back the
bill and writes a new one:

Adjust expensive electronic equipment $1,
Knowing what to adjust $99,
Total $100,
