    Crockpot won't heat anymore, is it usually the heating band?

    slow cookers are overrated anyway. Instant pot will do the same thing and if something goes wrong its easy to find youtube videos for any part of these machines

    Cracking open a Hamilton Beach FlexBrew, anyone done it?

    not everyone values their time at shop rates buddy. Some people just like to fix stuff for the challenge or to avoid throwing a machine that still works into the landfill for a $3 fuse.

    Getting into a Kenwood food processor base, anything tricky?

    Brushes on kenwood motors are usually pretty much a standard part you should be able to find on ebay or a spare parts shop. Worthwhile while doing so. The motor itself is very unlikely to fail on these machines its more often the switches, fuses and brushes.

    Anyone got tips on setting up the Hoist ab machine properly?

    Free-weights exercise and machines aren’t at odds with each other. For example, the Hoist unit offers a controlled range of motion during loaded spinal flexion that’s hard to get through bodyweight only. Each has its use in a training plan.

    Kohler bathroom fixtures, how different is the operation really?

    touchy mixer is usualy due to the person not being used to how the ceramic cartridge feels vs rubber washer taps. No fault in the mixer at all. People just get used to the travel on rubber washer tap.

    Ninja Blast flashing white light, just a jar alignment thing?

    not about slamming the jar on crooked. The contacts under the blender jar gets a film on them over time if you use it to blend liquids with milk and yogurt in them. I can have it perfectly aligned and get the white flash.
