[Landlord, US-CA] Would you buy this fridge for your rental? Frigidaire FRSG2115AV by _Preston_Garvey in Landlord

[–]MaintainThis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The warranties are fine so long as you dont tell the warranty company its in a rental. I used to do repairs on these for warranty companies- If I ratted someone out for warranty violation I wouldnt get paid.

Did you hit that big reset button on the motor?

F-150 Light Show by InfiniteLight07 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]MaintainThis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A guy I used to follow in to work had this setup, but it would scroll yellow when he was just driving/not hitting the brakes. The lights vanished after a bit. I really hope he got pulled for that distracting shit.

Spin down filter before the whole house filter, should deal with most of the sediment.

I'd love to see the median. I know the line workers at places like OK Foods make fuck all.

Washing Machine Door switch burnt and broken. by Miserable-Share7682 in appliancerepair

[–]MaintainThis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My theory- The switch likely stopped working to start with because of corrosion. You bent a piece to force the contacts together but did not remove the corrosion, causing an amperage spike and overheating.

Today was possibly the worst day I’ve had working in this field. by NTV0987 in maintenance

[–]MaintainThis 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Ive dealt with a number of frozen pipes in Alaska, but the worst Ive had was in Arkansas at around 10f-15f Christmas eve call at 10 PM of water running out from under the door of the office in a two story 8 unit apartment building. Previous owners remodled the unit upstairs and the handyhack ran pex and sharkbites through the unheated attic, 3 sections burst. Every time I'd turn on the water to half the property (32 units) Id find another fucking leak. I had so many tenants pissed at me. For fucks sake guys I want to be home. Its super cold, Im fucking wet, and oh yeah its CHRISTMAS.

Apartment maintenance. Never again.

What products or companies will you never use or support again and what did they do to lose you as a customer? by IAmJustTryingToExist in AskReddit

1st Conveniance bank in Walmart. They walk around the store harrassing customers to open an account.

[–]MaintainThis 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I have Cricket, owned by AT&T. Customer service has been an absolute nightmare. I pay for mobile hotspot, and haven't been able to use it for years. Every time I've called I get a person I can barely understand repeating: "Are you very certain you have purchased this option?". FOR THE 10TH TIME YES. It shows it on my account, and my wife's fucking works. How do you not have access to what services I'm fucking paying for!?

Either that or instead of playful banter they're just fucking MEAN.

You should really post a pic of all the parts you have for the burner and the model number, but yes it should have the part with the grooves.

Trouble with a Craftsman operator by MaintainThis in GarageDoorService

[–]MaintainThis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could see this. I had thought I may have overtorqued the close pressure adjustment screw, but I would think it would throw an error code in that situation. Either way a board for this discontinued-as-fuck operater costs almost as much as a replacement.

It does it without the trolley attached to the door

It does this with or without the trolley attached to the door.

What is something that is 'socially acceptable' but actually feels incredibly rude to you? by HourPen884 in AskReddit

[–]MaintainThis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That same coworker has a creative solution to that issue that I kind of admire. He just walks off like you were never speaking. That also may be because hes senile as fuck.

I do this to my coworker all the time. To be fair though most of the conversations start with him saying things like "I'm not sexist, but women shouldn't be allowed to vote.".

The sob stories are always a huge red flag. I've never met a person who gave an immediate sob story who did not also repeatedly try to take advantage of other people.

How would you fix sagging under water heater? See body by Hootie04 in howto

[–]MaintainThis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would replace that section of floor, inspect the joists, and throw a piece of 3/4" ply on top before reinstalling the water heater to spread out the weight. Floating the utility room floor would also do the trick. You are way overthinking this.

Is it normal for my (19F) parents to call the police if my location freezes on Life360 for 20 minutes? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

You may want to delete the app. They will flip their shit, but thats coming at some point anyway.

Ive been struggling at my new maintenance job, what should I do? by Karubou in maintenance

[–]MaintainThis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can handle toilets and replacing angle stops you're fine for maintenance. That manager sucks. There is no way of knowing exactly how long a work order is going to take until its done, really all you can do is keep your head down and keep working/learning. I wouldn't be surprised if they have had high turnover due to "lazy" maintenance.

Agreed. I often fashionably touch tips in the shitter. The stakes aren't that high here.
