      My Sharp microwave had issues and my thoughts went to the interlocks. Had 4 df interlocks from NP6012F and they were the exact switch. Saved me from buying a microwave.

        You guys need to find some good video games or something...got too much time on your hands.
        Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Coke in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!".

            Shining up the rubber on the brake pedal isn't a good idea either.

              The transport belt from a Xerox Docutech make great oil filter wrenches. I've been using them since I left 6 years ago and can fit into tighter spaces then the wrench.

                By definition I would have thought that someone who plays video games all day would have to much time on their hands.

                You are probably right thought. I don't watch TV and my wife believes I spend to much time working.

                I mainly work on projects in my spare time.

                At present I'm building a new aluminium bimini canopy for my boat. I just have to finish the CAD work on the canopy design and then start on the engineering side. The old canopy is somewhere down the highway where it landed after it came a drift when I passed a vehicle at high speed. Something tells me I have to make the new canopy a bit stronger...

                It's winter time here in OZ and the daylight hours are far too short to get things done after work.

                There is definitely not enough hours in my day............. oooooh yerrrr.......

                    My brother's wife won't let him play either. I think she should just join him. I miss gaming with my bro. My parents live with me (my house, but sometimes it doesn't feel like it). They don't like it too much either. I only game Mon, Tues, Fri and Sat. Only most of the day on Sat. The other days are after work. It is really the only heathen thing I do. I don't swear, drink, carouse, beat people up, or do drugs.

                    In all fairness to them, though, there isn't much family time when you're playing games. Unless you get involved and play with them. But, it's way more fun than sitting on the couch watching TV.

                          I like to take the magnets out of the old trashed Hard drives. They make superior refrigerator magnets.

                          Also dropping spent copier cores 15 feet into a semi trailer is a good stress relief...

                            Well I do love chocolate (all sweets for that matter) and soda. Does that count? I'm way too picky when it comes to guys, so no, not much of that (I assume that's what you're speaking of, isn't it?) I know I'm a bit naive, but I want someone like my dad or my brother. Too hard to find good ones like that and I'm not the kind to give it away without having a written legal guarantee (I have respect for myself). I do more than just gaming. I play guitar, write poetry, and do oil paintings. I fix things, but that is work. When I get home I don't want to fix things. Unless you count home improvement (painting, installing ceiling fans, and refinishing furniture), but I don't use machine parts (nor do I bring anything more than screws home in the first place) to fix anything.

                              I don't have a photo of it, but at one time I made a live trap with 2x2's and chicken wire. The door was released by a drum cleaning solenoid, powered by two 9vdc batteries. The "bait" dish was mounted on a metal plate sitting on a microswitch.

                              I only used it once to catch a male feral cat. The poor boy had feline leukemia, so there was no saving him.

                              The trap sold in a garage sale. =^..^=
                              If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
                              1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
                              2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
                              3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
                              4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
                              5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

                                I play video games all the time. Of course, I don't have a wife or girlfriend or anything like that. Hmmm... there might be some sort of connection there.


                                As far as repurposing old copier parts, used fuser web shafts do a fine job of holding up old windows that won't stay up on their own.
                                Just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.
                                O.o
