Good morning all,
The saga continues. Crew arrived yesterday to place the replacement dishwasher and fix the reefer doors. No joy. Guy looked at everything I had already looked at and merely pronounced, "Needs a new door." His partner says - wont do that, new refrigerator.
CEO spousal unit was torqued!! So, screw it, says I, if they're having to replace the door/unit, I might as well have a look. Take off the hinge cover - - - long story short, I sees a wire connected plastic thingy lying loose. "That doesn't look right," I says to myself. Look around a bit longer and I see a similar thingy on the other side (French door refrigerator). Look a bit longer and see that the left thingy is inserted into a a socket like thingy on the hinge cover. I wonder . . . so I puts the loose thingy into the the similar plastic receptacle thingy and put back in place. larm stops. Button all back up, and we have water to the door. The thingy I saw was some kind of sensor for the door - telling the brain that the door is closed.
Another crew coming Tuesday to look at the door problem - do I tell them?
We have got to get these appliance issues resolved - - - my liver can't take much more abuse. Two nights in a row wife wanted martinis and I had single-malts.
So between the new foster greyhound keeping us up all night - the daughter having a major fight with her BF - - and the appliance aggravation - - - did not get to the train room. I was going to but dropped off on the couch for a 1-1/2 hour nap.
Foster dog did much better last night. I got much more sleep, but far from perfect. He is a cutey - - - might def be a "foster fail." SHould hit the trainroom this afternoon, and only three evening meeting this week. Still ready to wire up the 16VDC and 12 VDC power supplies and wire the timers and the electromagnets. And still have to clean up the feeder solders and other track issues.
This hobby just never stops does it! - - - - - Steve J
