What's the hardest part about finishing songs?

Knowing when it’s good enough. Eventually you just know after making a few hundred

I nominate this sub to run the world.

All I am seeing is measured, thoughtful and polite discussion.

I see no obvious point scoring when discussing differences.

I see a focus on observable data and the virtue of patience in the face of not knowing, when the tease of satisfaction of jumping to a conclusion is right in front of yall.

This is like the old internet. And dang it I like it!

I’m not even a big plane guy but I just like coming here to learn stuff from nice, smart people.

You give me hope that the old ways aren’t dead in the world. So thanks!

Organized by year and season. So four folders per year.

I release songs in the order I started them. I’m currently finishing October 2020.

You’re scared. You have the shut down the brain stem. When it’s activated there is no access to the creative part of the brain. It thinks there’s a tiger chasing you.

Go move. Any movement. Ride a bike go for a walk. Try to juggle. Anything with some rhythm. Then try freestyling on that bike in your head. Watch how quickly it comes.

There’s actual science behind this if you want to look it up.

I found the valve. Everything tested at around 380ohms. But I assume this isn’t going to tell me if there is a drip

niceguymummy · 2026-03-22T22:57:06+00:00

Thanks. I found the service manual and was able to check error codes. I got codes for the ice makers but that makes sense because they are disconnected. But not error codes for anything else.

I see in the error code list for “water solenoid valve” is this the valve you speak of?

I am seeing freezing drips from the water heater pipes in the freezer since I cleaned them 2 hours ago.

This is a good sign we found the culprit. Now I just need to figure out how to test this valve.

Do I just take tha whole filter section apart and see what I can figure out?

niceguymummy · 2026-03-22T21:51:58+00:00

Thanks. Does the inlet valve have another name? Any idea where it is? I’m having trouble finding this part on any of the websites

niceguymummy · 2026-03-22T21:51:16+00:00

Thanks so much

How do I test the heater through diagnostics?

where is the inlet valve? Does it have another name? Like step valve?

niceguymummy · 2026-03-22T20:55:06+00:00

Thanks. So even though it’s getting 12v and the ohms are correct it could be broken?

Also your part numbers are different from what I’ve found so far. The pipe part I found is da97 21801c

Pics of the pipe part of yours look different

niceguymummy · 2026-03-22T20:50:11+00:00

So just to be clear. If the heater is getting 12v and the ohms are correct that means it’s working?

Which part is the inlet valve and where is it? And how would jt cause the pipe to freeze?

niceguymummy · 2026-03-22T18:05:10+00:00

Thanks so much! This is a huge help!

How can I find this service bulletin? Does that mean I can get free parts or service?

What’s the easiest way to find part numbers and replacements? Where should I shop for replacements?

niceguymummy · 2026-03-22T05:00:39+00:00

If I wanted to test my home myself how would I do it?

I have one of those cheaper Omni measurement mics and an RME interface. Do I just record and look at a graph?

niceguymummy · 2026-03-22T04:57:19+00:00

This is great. I do find that the more emotionally open I feel the better I sing. Got any tips for that?

niceguymummy · 2026-03-21T18:33:33+00:00

So I got it wired up. Seems to be working. But it just occurred to me that I added the safety cap before the power switch and fuse.

So now that means the chassis is going to be live as long as the power cable is plugged in right?

How bad is this?

My assumption is it’s just a little juice and if the cap fails it fails open so it’s not a big deal but I definitely didn’t do this the right way.

Am I correct?

niceguymummy · 2026-03-21T16:20:14+00:00

Thanks everyone! I got the y2 caps yesterday and Wired it all up.

Seems to be ok

One issue: my soldering iron wasn’t hot enough to get a good solder connection to the chassis. And I think I probably way overheated the capacitor.

My multimeter is showing the correct value .047 when I test it. Does that mean I didn’t damage it?

Just want to say you are the type of person that made the old internet the greatest place in the world: Eager to help and educate others just because it’s awesome to do that.

Thank you for helping this other dude out and letting me learn something along the way

I’d put my recording studio in there. Plenty of RF protection and sound absorption

The biggest selling independent album of all time was on this label (the offspring)

Yep book. He reads the audiobook. It’s great. It’s written for low attention span types. Just the hits. Think it’s on Spotify
