One customer's
holiday success story
Eric
Barnes does a lot of baking during the holiday
season, which he ships to friends and family
all over the country. This annual tradition
was threatened last year when his oven broke.
"I called numerous repair shops in
the area," said Barnes, "but they
said it was going to be at least three days
before they could look at the oven and another
week until they could fix it."
That's when Barnes decided to try to find
help on the Internet and came across RepairClinic.com.
"I had an idea the igniter was bad,
and I confirmed my suspicions with a quick
email to RepairClinic.com's RepairGuru.
Then, as recommended, I ordered a new igniter
kit and had the kit in my hand in two days.
"With the guidance and instruction
I received from the RepairGuru, I was able
to make the repair in less than an hour."
Barnes' oven worked like new again, and
he was able to complete his holiday baking
on schedule.
"Plus, I'm sure I saved over $100 by
fixing the oven myself," he added.

 Appliance
fun fact
Josephine Cochran invented
the dishwasher in 1886. Expecting it to catch
on with housewives, she unveiled it at the
1893 World's Fair, but only hotels and large
restaurants bought into the idea. It wasn't
until the 1950s that dishwashers caught on
with the general public. Cochran founded a
company to manufacture her hand-operated mechanical
dishwashers. That company later became KitchenAid,
which is now owned by Whirlpool. |

1. A resilient or flexible material used between
mating surfaces to provide a leak-proof seal.
2. An electro-mechanical switch that diverts

external current is applied.
3. Part of the refrigeration system where
refrigerant evaporates, absorbing heat from
the surrounding area. Sometimes mistaken as
the point where the drain pan evaporates condensate
water.
4. An electro-mechanical device that produces
a magnetic field to move an internal metallic

This plunger can be attached to other devices,

work. This arrangement is commonly used in
water fill valves, dishwasher drain valves,
range door lock mechanisms and dryer gas valves.
