Except years ago I figured out that I could just pour in oil, vinegar, and water up to the lines indicated, add some herbs and voila! I didn't need to buy those packets anymore.

I tried to find the model number in order to buy a new one to no avail so the two halves bounced around our kitchen until this week. I went to the hardware store and purchased monster glue, highly recommended by the salesman. My husband offered to glue it together. He placed it on a piece of cardboard to protect the kitchen table. After getting the glue all over his hands he read the warning "avoid skin contact", we are hoping it will wear away. The following day after letting it set for 24 hours he lifted it up and the cardboard came with it. A piece of cardboard is now permanently on the kick plate. My husband then decided he would cover the break with duck tape for additional reinforcement! Give me a Fridge Man any day.

Now we have the son. I had a stack washer/dryer for twenty five years and the dad accidentally broke a part no longer available. The dad "jury-rigged" the repair, and ever since, when it comes apart, they come put it back together for free. Apparently it's in the computer as "Big Jim says this must be repaired for free forever." I've since bought a replacement and wonder if they think of me, or will say "Gee, this isn't your old machine," when I finally make a service call. It is the third washing machine of my entire life, all MayTags.
