SOME VARIOUS FEEDBACK
A Life Saver (Dryer Not Tumbling)...
Dear Duane,
I'm in communications ... and that's a business where if you're doing your job
right, you DON'T hear back from people. But every once in a while, it's nice
to get compliments, and I want to share one with you.
Yesterday, my dryer stopped tumbling. I am in the midst of potty-training my
son, and let's just say this is not the time when you want your dryer to stop
working. What's more, it was Memorial Day, so there was no one to call for an
urgent repair. I googled the problem, ran across your site, and voila ---
step-by-step instructions! We got lucky and found an appliance store that was
open and carried the part. The hardest part about the repair was getting the
screws off the front of our dryer, but we had it back up and running in less
than 45 minutes.
Not only did you save us from a very "messy" pile of laundry, but also the
expense of a repairman! We got the problem fixed for under $40. Plus, my
husband, who is ordinarily not one to take on a problem himself, got the
credit. I'm thankful I found your site. And hopefully I won't need you very
much in the future, but if something else breaks down, you can bet I'll be
back.
Best,

Ice
Maker Repair - What this web site is all about...
Duane,
WOW!!! Just wanted to say thanks! Our ice-maker stopped working this past
weekend and my family learned real quick how much we need ice!
So after surfing the internet about the problem, I ran across your repair
instructions. And just like everyone else, I was hesitant to pay for repair
instructions when I wasn't even sure of the problem. But after seeing my exact
refrigerator on your site and reading your ad, I thought what the hek, I'll
give it a try before I call the repair man. So on the way home from work, I
stopped by a Sears Parts store and purchased the Module/Motor assembly for
$77. I know this was a little more expensive than your site, but I didn't want
to wait on shipping. Now I'm not much of a handyman and the tools you said I
needed are pretty much the extent of my entire tool collection. But from start
to finish, it took me about 25 minutes to complete the job! It would of been
much quicker but I couldn't disconnect the dang wire harness! I thought I was
going to break it or pull the wires out. But finally I got the wire harness to
separate. That was the only small problem I encountered. The rest was cake. I
did the repair right before bed so I didn't get to hear the first batch of ice
drop, but it was great to wake up this morning and look in our fridge and find
a full bucket of ice!! Just wanted to say thanks! Your clear and precise
instructions really saved me some cash.
Thanks again!
Gib.

Bose Lifestyle 20 Series Repair - CD repair....
Duane - THANK YOU! As I noted in my previous email,
BOSE response to my stuck CD magazine was 'less than helpful'. Basically, I
was told that since this is an older product, they no longer offer service and
the only choice that I had was to pay $1,499 for a replacement unit. Spending
$19.99 for your instructions seemed a bit more reasonable.
I have to tell you how much I enjoy your style of instruction. The pictures
are clear (and exactly matched what I found as progressed) and the written
instructions were precise (and sometimes quite humorous!). I sincerely
appreciate the caveats that you added regarding the spring, face plate and
door cover. I was able to 'disassemble' and repair my Bose unit within the 20
- 40 minute time alloted.
It is working perfectly and my husband was suitably impressed.
Please feel free to use this testimony on your website - I can't thank you
enough!
Jamie Butler - your new biggest fan.

Bose Lifestyle 20 Series Repair - both the display and CD repairs....
Hi Duane,
I first purchased your fix for
the Bose Lifestyle 20 CD changer off eBay. Then I purchased the display
repair of the website. I just wanted to let you know that the fix for both
went very smooth. I purchase the items mentioned from Radio Shack, followed
the instructions, and the unit is now fully functional. I am very pleased with
the ease of instructions and the detailed pictures. It made the repair a snap,
even for a novice like me! Anyone that has a repair need, I will definitely
recommend your site to get instructions
for repair.
Thanks a lot for having a complete detail oriented set of instructions
available to make repairs easy, and affordable for the everyday Joe!
I wouldn’t mind at all if you used
the comment on your website. As far as I am concerned, the cost for the
instructions for someone to repair it themselves is well worth it. Way better
than sending into Bose, and having to wait for it to come back. This was
minimal downtime. So yeah, go ahead and use the comment. I hope it will
inspire other people to purchase your product, as it is well worth it!!

Dark Picture on Television Repair...
I want to thank you a
whole lot. I purchased your TV Brightness Fix for $4.99 and you saved my TV! I
have a 13 year old Zenith and the screen had gone blue and looked really
really dark. Your instructions plus a little time and help from my fiancée
fixed it in just a few hours. I am really pleased with your instructions and
will recommend you site to others who have problems, if you have a fix for it
lol.

Overhead Console Repair...this is exactly how I
like to hear these instructions worked...
Thank you! $19.99 for the
instructions plus $9.42 for the Torx key set, soldering iron, and solder.
About 40 minutes and $29.41 to fix what would have cost A LOT more if I would
have taken my Explorer to a shop to be repaired.
The instructions weren't that hard to follow. And I have never soldered
before!
Again, thank you.

Anchorage, Alaska
Ice Maker Repair...
Duane,
Ordered the part from you and received it in timely fashion - thank you.
Installed the part and had ice in no time. We can't thank you enough for your
help, which came at a much more reasonable price than any service company.
Thanks again,

Overhead Console Repair...
Thank you so much for the
directions on how to fix my overhead console message center on my 2001 Ford
F250. What was going to be a very expensive fix through Ford ending up taking
about 30 minutes and the only cost was the solder.
The directions and illustrations were so easy to complete and follow. When I
had a problem you were so prompt in calling me back. Thank you for taking the
time and effort to share your knowledge with consumers. I will keep your web
site in my favorites!
Thanks again!

Praise on the Ice Maker Repair...
Duane,
The instructions were fantastic and worth every penny! I had the icemaker out
and on the island in 10 minutes (I had a little trouble separating the
electrical clip). Sure enough, I had the problem you described; only the gear
wheel had not fallen off. Still, the spindle holding it had broken (what an
incredibly poor design - the cynic in me says the design flaw was
intentional). I have the part on order as I write this.
Bottom line.I'm glad I spent a little time "rummaging" thru Goggle. The whole
experience was well worth my "token" investment. I love saving money!
Thanks.

Ice Maker Repair - Why wait? Do it yourself now...
Hi,
My ice maker had not been working for almost three months when we finally
decided to call around. One guy seemed like he didn’t want the job (four weeks
went by since I had called him), and we couldn’t afford a service call, part,
and labor fees. Somehow I came across your site, and thought, well, there’s
nothing to lose. So I took the ice maker apart this past Sunday night (I
finally had time to mess with it), and ordered the part from a local appliance
store. The hardest part about taking the ice maker apart was trying to
separate the wiring harness! Anyway, I took apart the motor assembly, and sure
enough, that white plastic gear was cracked. It only took the appliance store
about a day to get the part in (the part was a little pricier than you quoted,
about $90 w/ tax). The guy there told me that someone else had called that day
about the same problem that I had! So I started reassembling everything about
9pm that night. It took about 20- 30 minutes to get everything put together
and back in the freezer (I was on the phone while doing it). Just to make sure
it worked, I emptied the ice bucket of the bag of ice we bought. With fingers
crossed, I went to bed. When I left for work the next morning (6am), I took a
peek in the freezer. I cannot tell you how happy I was- we had ice!!
I just want to thank you (as does my husband) for the information that you
made available- the illustrations, the step-by-step instructions, even the
likely problem and part number for it! Your “booklet” was very thorough and
easy to follow. The entire repair was very easy to do, and took a minimal
amount of time. I probably would’ve paid double by hiring someone to do this
very simple repair! I just wish I had found your site three months ago!
Thanks again!
Selina Gonzales - SGonzales@NOSPAMCECCO.com
Note - If Selina could have waited for
the delivery of the part (worst case, about 3 days via USPS first class), she
could have saved another $30 by ordering the part from this web site, but
sometimes you get so excited to get the job done, you just want to get the
part and complete the job...either way, you're saving lots of money!
Another Satisfied Customer...
Received the motor assembly and installed. The ice maker is doing its
'clunking', what a great sound! Your instructions worked like a charm and you
have another satisfied customer Duane. Thanks and have a good day!!

ICEMAKER REPAIR WORKED!
Duane,
I have to say I was a little skeptical about buying your icemaker repair
guide, however when I saw the exact picture of my refrigerator on your website
I said, "What the heck, its $20.00 and he is guaranteeing that it will work."
I did have to end up replacing the module.... I just heard the first set ice
cubes drop.... music to the ears.
Thanks for your help.

Helping Fix Ice Makers in Canada too!
Thanks for the Ice Maker fix. I was one of the
lucky 5% that did not have to get past Figure 1. The $23 CDN was well worth
the saving difference from a $90 call out from the service guy. I'm sure
future repairs will be necessary on this unit and now I have the complete fix
required by the other 95% needing repairs.

A Missed Opportunity on the Ice Maker Repair...
Due to a delay in processing Brent's username and password
(if you don't
promptly get your username, please
email us), Brent went forward with fixing his icemaker by calling a
repairman to make the repair...After having the repairman repair the icemaker
and then getting to look at the instructions after the repairman fixed his ice
maker, here' s what Brent had to say...
Duane,
I glanced through your repair info and it turns out it was exactly what the
repair man did. I had to pay him $220 for the service call, part and labor. I
would have saved a lot of money using your website. Now that I know about your
website, I'm going to use if for sure the next time something around the house
breaks.
thanks,

Overhead Console Temperature/Compass Readout Repair

Overhead Console Temperature/Compass Readout Repair
Duane:
Thanks for the information. I have been without the compass/temp system for
over a year. I took it to a repair station and they said that they would get
back to me with an estimate, they never did.
I didn't want to take the car to a ford dealer for they are very expensive.
Well your fix worked great. Got the job done quickly in less than an hour.
Before I reinstalled the unit onto the car, I hooked up the electrical to
see if the unit worked. When the light came on, I gave a cheer. Now I can
know what the temp is outside and in what direction I am going.
Thanks,
Steve - SCull04@NOSPAMaol.com
