miscellaneous monday

miscellaneous monday at the whimsey project. our day to share all the stuff we don't share the rest of the week. what say you?

this will read like something heloise wrote but it's neat so worth posting. i have a standard refrigerator. two doors; one up for the freezer compartment and one down for the cooling compartment. to my chagrin the seal on the freezer compartment had gotten loose enough to cause it to pop open when the cooling compartment door was closed. or one would close the freezer compartment door thinking it was closed and it wasn't. refrigerator door was added to the to-do list. meaning i had to call someone for help. i finally made the call last thursday. the voice on the other end, after hearing my refrigerator problem, said, "clean the seal around the inside of the freezer compartment door then rub vaseline over the entire surface of the seal." astonished by this response and getting help without having to pay a service call, i uttered thank you and said i would try this. it was tried and wow! it works!!! there you have it fellow wim-zees! if your refrigerator door seals get tired all you need is a good cleaning and a jar of vaseline!  wheeeeee......

  1. excellent, love those do it yourself fixes.
    another one is to be sure no regular dishwashing liquid gets put into a dishwasher--even a few drops can make lots of suds. If this should happen, put just a tiny bit of fabric softener or vinegar in to tame the suds.
