Speaking of breaker boxes, I remember something from years ago. I spent half a day running around the house marking all the outlets, fixtures, and appliances and finally pairing everything with breakers. Had to use radios and vacuum cleaners so I could hear when they went off and didn't have to walk up and down the steps. Made a beautiful diagram, color coded and everything. Then when I got a new furnace (HVAC) installed, the crew had to rearrange everything in the breaker box to make room for double breakers (side by side empties). They labeled the new ones, but of course couldn't label the old ones they moved. This happened several times over the years. The diagram was long ago useless, and I don't have the ambition to do it again.
Yeah, Yvonne is the same way. I’m the king of the lightbulbs in our house but she crochets really good winter socks!
There’s a fairly new tool out that finds circuits. You plug in the sender into whatever outlet you want then wave the hand receiver over the switches in the breaker box and when the the right switch is located it beeps. On Amazon the circuit finders run anywhere between around 30 beans to 400. It’s still a pain in the tail though but handy nonetheless.
.In that case, then they are probably on the same circuit. I am guessing the on switch just broke when you tried turning it on. What make is it? Is it a newer model with an electronic control panel? On some of the newer computerized models then pulling the plug for a hard reset might reprogram it. Since you cannot get to the plug, then look at the breaker box and flip the one that says washer, wait 30 seconds and then flip back on. There is nothing to fear about a breaker box.
Yes, the control panel is electronic; there is no actual "switch" but a push button. The panel typically lights up when I press the power button. I thought about the unplug/plug back in but I can't get to the outlet so I'll just have to wait. I don't fear the breaker box; I just don't want to deal with slogging out there in the heat and messing with it.
Now I'm mad about pasta salad. I was trying a new recipe and I just KNEW that "2 tablespoons of cider vinegar" was going to be a disaster. In fact, I only used ONE tablespoon and it ruined the entire bowl of ingredients. Nasty. I'm going to take a nap.
I hate vinegar and only use it to clean my tea/coffee water pot. Vinegar does not belong in food cooked or not, in my opinion. My folks and grandfolks used to make chow chow. I had to leave the house during making and also times of consumption.
. The push-button is the turn on switch. It activates an electronic relay (SCR) that conducts the AC line power to the motor, etc. It sounds like the relay is on the fritz. It may be the switch, but my bet is the relay.
I don't mind vinegar in some things, but this pasta salad dressing is "creamy"... mayo, sour cream, dry mustard, etc. The vinegar just ruins it. I'm peeved.
Yes, I get mad at myself when I follow recipes and know something isn't right but do it anyway. I seldom follow recipes and just wing it.
He got home from the funeral, soaking wet. It was so hot and humid at the cemetery that he was sweating through his suit coat. I didn't have the heart to start bitching and moaning at him. In other news, I got my trusty kitchen ladder out, climbed on top of the washing machine (it's a front loader on a pedestal, so as tall as me), and managed to wrestle the plug out. Then followed a woman's instructions on Youtube... it worked!!! Clothes are washing right now. I have to say, I'm not sure that pressing the buttons added anything. Probably just unplugging for 20 seconds or so and plugging back in would have worked, but I went through her instructions anyway. Youtube is the bomb. @Faye Fox -- you were correct; an electronic "reboot" did the job.
I just tossed it. I tried adding more mayo and then there was way too much dressing for the amount of macaroni. Grrrrrrrrrrr. Next time I'll do a lot more taste testing before I ruin a bowl of pasta and all the veggies.
When trying a new recipe for the first time, I usually follow it as written unless something really strikes me as wrong... like 2 tablespoons of vinegar. As I said to Gloria, I should have TASTED the dressing before pouring it on. "My bad."
