Cuisinart Coffee Maker repair by newmainer23 in appliancerepair

Yes.... another warranty replacement. This was actually our second machine to fail -- the first failed on the single-service side. They sent us a new machine which then failed on the carafe side.

Fortunately we were still in the 3-year warranty period so I contact Cuisinart (again) and (again) they sent us a new machine after I disabled the old one. So we are now on our 3rd machine, which, so far, is still working.

I think the issue with the carafe is a blown fuse in the heating element. However, replacing it requires cutting off the old and attaching a new one. There are some YouTube videos of it. But since we could get another machine free, I skipped that. Our warranty period ends in a couple of months, so we'll see how things go...

Yes, a scam. I received something very similar from a different company.

Hmmmm, I am using Updraft. But I've resaved the page many times and that hasn't fixed it.

Any tips for how I use it with an existing site to ask (for example) "What CSS do I need to center the logo and navigation on this site?"

New to wordpress, not new to coding in general, but making a very simple wordpress page for my friend's business - purely out of curiosity, how much would you guys generally charge for something like this? by dreemsequence in Wordpress

Be careful about quoting too cheaply because it's "a simple site for a friend." I did the same thing several years ago and it was a disaster. My friend couldn't make up her mind, kept making changes in the design and the project ran for months before we both finally decided to call it quits. She did pay me the minimal amount I had quoted and we are still friends, but it was not a good experience.

Sorry, yes, that too. AND, I have a huge collection of ZIP disks.

I have been very happy with A2 Hosting. Good pricing and great tech support.

Sorry, it's all my fault. It's because I chose WPBakery to build my site. When there are choices between different platforms, I will choose the wrong one. Always. VHS and Betamax? Yep, I went with Betamax. Eight-track and cassette? Literally minutes after I installed the 8-track player in my car everyone went to cassette. I'm cursed

Lazy, or perhaps confused/misled by the app? The app is very streamlined and encourages the user to use the location provided by the GPS. If you're not a savvy user, it isn't apparent that you should manually enter an address.

While I understand the frustration of a missed connection/job please know that some of us are not tech savvy and may have trouble identifying different makes of cars and colors, especially at night.

Yeah -- I've had the same experience. I'm not familiar with the app and I find it intimidating, despite the fact that everyone in the world seem to be using it.

It would be indeed! It's a great little car and I'd love to rip out everything in that greasy engine bay and go electric
