Anyone that needs Grill-parts for your gas-grills...Aug-Sept is a good time to look for them on sale at various home-improvement stores and garden centers, as they prepare to make-way for winter goods like snowblowers and such.
...My grill is going on 11 years old, still cookin'.
For items that you may not find at your local store, (Such as , an "exact-fit" burner assembly, try grillparts.com
I have used them, fast and correct.

Camera-fix for DSLR"s with removeable-lenses.
Problem: the auto-focus was malf'ed, would only initiate focus on the wide-open aperture settings. (Lens on this particular camera have focus-motors in the lens-body, Pentax)

Solution:...Clean contact areas of the lens attachment plate, and that of the camera-body using a small amount of isopropyl-alcohol (Rubbing alcohol) on a Q-tip, and removing the alcohol with a microFiber cloth.

I ordinarily use only a DRY soft artist's brush to migrate dust particles off the sensor's surface. Some pollen's will adhere, and may have to be removed with wet-solution cleaners.
This vid shows a clear view of a Canon's sensor being cleaned.

You'll have to look at the way the door is mounted on the lazy susan.

I never installed one like that so I'm not sure.

I always mounted my doors on the cabinets.

Phil

[rdavis8325]

will do, thanks.

i was thinking you might be able to adjust the door a little bit

[Phil(Hot Rod Chevy)]

I know what you are talking about.

Without looking at it I would say the only way to adjust the door would be to move the mounting plate that the lazy susan is mounted on.

The lazy susan is what the door is mounted on, so how else would you adjust it?

Please let us know what you find out.

Phil

[rdavis8325]

its a lazy susan cabinet, the one that spins around with a tray. i would think it has no hinges, that it would spin around a pole that runs through both top and bottom trays.

i havent seen it because its at my brothers house in VA

[Phil(Hot Rod Chevy)]

I could adjust the door. But once the cabinet is attached to the wall, I don't think the cabinet can be adjusted.

What type of hinges?

Phil

[rdavis8325]

can you adjust a lazy suzanne cabinet? the door is scraping when you open it

[toddao]

oh I don't know but I doubt it

[Phil(Hot Rod Chevy)]

I was talking about seeing if the RotoZip would fit in the Dremel plunge router base.

Phil

[toddao]

well I use the rotto zip to mortis door hindges I don't think dremel would be a good choice imo

[Phil(Hot Rod Chevy)]

Yep,

I didn't follow it far enough.

I even went to Ebay to see if they had one.

You think a Dremel one would work?

Phil

OOPS! I doubt that you ever would.

I thought that I had used the adjective "Canadian" in describing Eatons.
NOPE. My screw up.

Id

[Phil(Hot Rod Chevy)]

LOL

True.

Phil

[rdavis8325]

i would have to disagree!

most women dont think

lol

[Phil(Hot Rod Chevy)]

Most women think that if they can cram it in the washer, it's not overloaded.

My Ammo Box-Lock Project: msg-33272696.

[rdavis8325]

i just paid that for a dryer 6 months ago. wish i could have waited.

i bought a samsung that was last years model. its a nice one. but it would have been nice to get a pair for the same price

[rdavis8325]

its old and the GF isnt to strong in the commonsense. she probably overloaded it or loaded it uneven

[PlayItDown]

May want to get up early on Black Friday.

Sears front loading PAIR for $599.99

[Phil(Hot Rod Chevy)]

Never ran into a Viking appliance.

Phil

[Id_Jit]

Hotpoints? Nope. Viking.

Viking was a GE store rebrand manufactured for the T Eaton company. Eatons was a longtime nation wide department store that went out of business quite a few years ago. They had too much inertia in their business practices to keep up with changes in the retail market.

Change or die. They died.

Id

[Phil(Hot Rod Chevy)]

Gary,

I started a Mr. Fix-it board on Talkzilla, too.

Please post your tip over there.

http://cars.talkzilla.com/boards/board.aspx?board_id=53

TIA,
Phil

[Phil(Hot Rod Chevy)]

Our present washer and dryer are old GE rebranded units.

Hotpoints?

My appliances are GE units, too. My dryer is about 30 YO, but still works good. If I have to work on it I have to take it out of the laundry room and work on it in the kitchen. The washer is about 15YO.

Of all the North American brands out there, there are only a handful of actual manufacturers. Rebranding.

I think Whirlpool is the biggest manufacturer by far now, since they bought Maytag.

Whirlpool makes a ton of brands.

* Whirlpool
* Maytag
* KitchenAid
* Jenn-Air
* Amana
* Roper
* Acros
* Estate
* Inglis
* Bauknecht
* Brastemp
* Gladiator GarageWorks

Whirlpool also manufactures certain appliances under the Kenmore label, (manufactured for Sears Holdings Corporation). Whirlpool has expanded the marketing of Inglis appliances which are now sold in the United States at Best Buy stores. Whirlpool also manufactures IKEA brand appliances for low-cost home products retailer IKEA and Admiral appliances for Home Depot.

Dunno if I've had a Whirpool encounter yet.

Our present washer and dryer are old GE rebranded units.
I replaced the washer's transmission twice, and the motor/clutch + belt once.
PITA especially given the workspace I had to work in.

Id

[Id_Jit]

<g> Overload is a definite possibility.
Those suckers can hold a LOT of DRY cloth during the loading phase of a wash cycle.
Uneven loads during the spin cycle IMHO are unlikely. The random function of entropy, as the wash cycle should, more or less equally, distribute the heavy wet fabric around the drum.

Yeah!.. Right!

Id

[Phil(Hot Rod Chevy)]

I hope you never had to deal with any of the old belt drive Whirlpools.

What a PITA they were.

Phil

[Phil(Hot Rod Chevy)]

Well then, like Id Jit, I wonder why it fell off.

Phil

[rdavis8325]

it has an idler type pulley that is spring loaded to keep tension

[rdavis8325]

i kind of figured that.

not sure if the girlfriend overload it or unevenly loaded it. but the belt is worn, so it will only be a matter of time before it needs replacing. the machine is getting old, just putting off buying a new one

[Id_Jit]

Yup!

That was my first thought on his solution.

Ya don't wanna had to have lived my experiences with washers.

Id

[Phil(Hot Rod Chevy)]

It could have stretched a little and gotten loose.

I hope he tightened it up when he put it back on.

Phil

[Id_Jit]

Uhhmmm… Belts don’t fall off unless there is a good reason.
You may not be done yet.

Id

[Phil(Hot Rod Chevy)]

Very well could.

Phil

[ONEBGG]

I think it will come quite handy, JMO.

[Phil(Hot Rod Chevy)]

I'll have to add some foil to my toolbox too.
