Lyn gave me a call a little while ago. She's still struggling with a tough medical time after her hip replacement.....the first week she was progressing as expected, able to walk (with the support of a walker ~ 'just-in-case'). Then, during her second week post-op she had horrible pain in her leg and hasn't been able to put weight on her leg at all. She's in a wheelchair to go from her bed to wherever.
And she looks totally worn out. She's been prescribed new meds, some for pain, some for muscle relaxers, etc. Tomorrow she goes for another CT and a return trip to the doctor, hoping for some resolution. They don't know if it's muscular or nerve damage or what.....
Anyway, back to the phone call ~ ~ her new refrigerator stopped making ice. The 'idiot' light on the door indicated it needed a new water filter. So, she told Bill to go get one and he installed it. Still no ice, or water, and some other warning lights were showing. She asked if Dane & I could come over to troubleshoot since Bill is not known for his mechanical abilities.
On the way over to their house I suggested to Dane if he didn't see any obvious problem with how Bill installed the new water filter that he just un-plug the refrigerator for a minute or so and let it 're-set- itself. That's a trick I learned from Lyn long ago when we worked together and one of us had a problem with our computer. If all else failed, "POWER FAILURE" and turn it back on. Voila! Back to working!
Dane didn't see any problem so he pulled the refrigerator out from the wall (Bill couldn't budge it) and he pulled the plug. We waited 2 minutes and then plugged it back in.
IT WORKS !!!
Amazing how going back to the easiest remedy is usually the one that works. The manual, by the way, was useless. No clue given for what to do if the 'error' codes came on.
I'm just glad we were able to get it back to working without calling for a repairman.
