This might be a long shot...

Can anyone in Calgary recommend a good place to buy a new/reliable/3-5 cu ft freezer (upright or chest). Don't need designer/smart, just a functioning appliance. Researching at the moment, not in immediate need.

Our dishwasher (a Kenmore Elite circa 2010) accumulates a lot of scale, which I have never been able to to clean effectively. I scrub the filter every few weeks, but there is so much silt in the filter & drain zone that I can't easily reach, so it immediately re-coats the filter. I'm amazed it drains at all, and that our dishes and glassware seem to come out clean! Although we do pre-wash everything that goes in.

White vinegar (and a lot of elbow grease) works best to clean the filter itself. Will it work to run the washer with white vinegar? I'm afraid that would damage the already-old gaskets. Is there a more reliable & safe approach?

Many #CambridgeMA residents and businesses blame the municipal water for ruining appliances. Hardness is around 70 ppm Ca & Mg, which I believe makes it slightly to moderately hard. (I know I should flush our hot water heater tank more often.)

If you are in the #Regina #SK area, there is a Repair Cafe happening this coming Saturday (16 May), located in the George Bothwell library in the Southland Mall.

This one is a bit special: it's part of a larger event that's happening, the Climate Expo. There are a bunch of other things going on as part of it, but one is that Bike Regina will also be there, fixing and tuning up bicycles.

I'll be there, fixing electronics, small appliances, and random other things, but I'm just a volunteer, not an organizer or official spokesperson. There will be the usual array of other fixers repairing sewing, knitting, game consoles and controllers, jewellery, and other things.

There's also going to be a teardown table for the kids to have fun with ripping stuff apart to see what makes it tick.

So come give your stuff a second lease on life. Keep it out of the landfill, and as a bonus, stick it to the manufacturer that made it just good enough so that it died right after the warranty expired 😜 .

Walk-ins are welcome, but you can also book a spot in advance here:

We have a Kenmore fridge we love, made by Daewoo. It's functional and extremely reliable. Far better than the Samsung we had at our last place.

But we can't get replacement bins for it, and the bins inevitably crack over time. I don't particularly blame Kenmore or Daewoo for that, though I'm sure there are ways the bins could have been made more durable.

It feels as if the only way to fix this is to get a whole new fridge! But we don't want to.
