Thread: We Have Skills Too !!

OK, you couldn't do enough, now your a clock repairman..........where does your talent end my friend

Great job by the way

Tinkerer through and through is all Dave, but thanks buddy.
Stare at something long enough and it makes sense, hehe. At least if it was built logically anyway.
Been staring at women my whole life, still haven't figured them out..

And I hope if you do you will enlighten us all. Lord knows we need help figuring them out

So, American made, high end gas range with Mexican built display board, less than two years old, the display gets loose, I figure, no problem screws came loose maybe.

Ummm, no..

Crappybrittle plastic either couldn't take the heat, was side loaded during install, or a bit of both. But all four corners busted off.

Course a year and a half old with a one year warranty.. So bust out the bonding agents..

And build me some ca bridges.

First I'd reconnect the corners lightly to whatever original break lines i could. Then I'd use tape to seal the holes, fill wit the powdered ca binder and recoat with liquid again.


Anyway, annoyed I had to spend a few hours fixing a relatively new appliance, but happy I didn't have to buy a new display,, yet..
Cheers men.

One year warranty? I would be kicking up a storm about that and demanding another display.

Sent from a moto x far far away...

Oh, I am... Emails and the above busted pics already sent.
But those emails aren't fit for a thread, hehe. The repair was cause I don't want to wait for the weeks it's gonna take to convince them.

So I woulda put a metal strap across the ends as well.
Funny how things like that quit happening as I got the hamfisted youngsters out of the house!

Funny you say that Tom, my boy was quick to proclaim his innocence, before I even asked...
Hehe, a little bit of a guilty conscience perhaps.
Good idea on the metal strips too. If it refails, that will be repair 2.0..

3M 5200 and some Duck Tape !

It reminds of repairs to instrument panel controls on cars. Gotta get pretty creative!
