Unplugging this unit is first. Disconnect the grounds with a screwdriver, then the ribbon cable for the display. The tape mechanics are built into the front face. It was awesome for its time!

Our five year old "commercial technology" washing machine stopped working today. Thanks to DYI repair videos, I was able to run a diagnostic to see the error code and identify the clutch slider as the culprit (of course the manufacturer's website was of no use here).

I could have ordered a replacement part online for about 50 $CAD but the part design is so bad that I preferred repairing the broken part instead.

The steel ring around the slider is held with only six small plastic "pegs" about 3mm in diameter. Those pegs broke off from the repeated actuation of the clutch during normal operation (electromagnet exerting an axial force on the steel ring). I drilled small holes in the plastic slider in which I self-tapped 3x4mm set screws (aka grub screws). I slid the steel ring back on and backed out the screws so they would engage in the ring.

Nada, não fui quem de arranjar a luz da bici 🤷 (tampouco com o truque de @editora do papel de alumínio...)

Pode que, ademais da lapela rota, haja algo mais que não funcione 🤷🤷

As I endeavor to wrangle an errant tagging structure of a PowerPoint file towards an accessible PDF file, I find myself pushing the limits of whatever black magic fuels Acrobat.

I will not relent.

I curse the corporate greed, professional incompetence, and ultimately low-grade, mediocre, evil- manifesting through this fiendish abomination of corrupted deviance and fuckery.

This is no way to run a document object model!

Fixated head, glued in place. Tried screws, need new tricks. Patience and angles are key to figure this out. Keep investigating.
