A new timer has already been purchased. > Thanks for your reply. When the knob is pushed in, it spins AND SO DOES THE SHAFT without any clicking noises. I think what has happened is whatever mechanism that engages the shaft to the gears inside the timer is broken. Since the mechanism's gears are not applying any locking action in the counter-clockwise direction, the knob cannot be unscrewed. This knob is not like the other knobs on the washer. It needs to be unscrewed. It cannot be directly pulled off. The only solution I can think of is to put some glue inside the back of the timer where the shaft is. Maybe it will lock the shaft into place so the knob could be unscrewed. -- David Farber Los Osos, CA Thanks for your reply. |

Also, the Samsung recall of fire-prone phones was due to battery problems, not charger problems. -- sam | Sci.Electronics.Repair FAQ: http://www.repairfaq.org/ Repair | Main Table of Contents: http://www.repairfaq.org/REPAIR/ +Lasers | Sam's Laser FAQ: http://www.repairfaq.org/sam/lasersam.htm | Mirror Sites: http://www.repairfaq.org/REPAIR/F_mirror.html Important: Anything sent to the email address in the message header above is ignored unless my full name AND either lasers or electronics is included in the subject line.

No, at least not intentionally, sorry. Some ended up being tested at higher current than their ratings and at least didn't stink or smoke or shut down during the quick test. :) And, in the interest of science, I have just purchased a 12 W charger from the Apple store to compare. ;-) -- sam | Sci.Electronics.Repair FAQ: http://www.repairfaq.org/ Repair | Main Table of Contents: http://www.repairfaq.org/REPAIR/ +Lasers | Sam's Laser FAQ: http://www.repairfaq.org/sam/lasersam.htm | Mirror Sites: http://www.repairfaq.org/REPAIR/F_mirror.html Important: Anything sent to the email address in the message header above is ignored unless my full name AND either lasers or electronics is included in the subject line.
