@POTUS Trump - "Today, it's my honor to be taking a very historic action to substantially lower costs for consumers, protect hundreds of thousands of jobs, and save Americans well over $2B a year by officially terminating the Biden Administration’s ridiculous regulations imposing costly requirements on refrigerators and air conditioners."

Getting rid of the DH Rule, and artificial turf.

It is pretty hard to understand exactly what this means. The Gov press releases are very vague for anyone that does not know exactly what is going on. It seems that this undoes a Biden rule. And it may only be for large refrigeration systems. And not consumer ones like your home systems. Sadly the press releases are more interested in telling us how we are going to save money than they are in explaining the details.

I was just diagnosing a different (banging) sound from an old refrigerator I have, last night. This article might help you some.

Unfortunately, no major manufacturer is going to invest in producing equipment that uses the older refrigerants based on an executive order.

I have some Diazinon (not yours). Should I use it or save to sell as a collectors item?

Sally’s Apizza on Wooster Street in New Haven has a coal oven that has been going since the 1930s. It is kept going even when the place is closed for vacation. If that oven cracks, it cannot be replaced.

And they’re expensive. $3800 for my last refrigerator last year then the thing is loud at times when it’s the ice machine and water and whatever other noises it makes. they certainly don’t make them like they used too, that’s for sure.

I just ordered a small part for our refrigerator a few minutes ago. When I looked up the model number I realized it’s a 2003 model. Works fine. The part is to fix a broken shelf.

My wife mentioned getting another fridge, but I’m going to wait until it crashes out.

Is your house old, ie, built before 1950?

And if it is, does it have gas utility?

Or barring that, does it have an old heating system like a boiler and steam radiators?............

Here’s the best part. It was free.

We had a five year old fridge that the door hinge broke. It was during the supply chain insanity and we couldn’t find a fridge that fit the cavity in our kitchen. We were literally velcroing the door shut.

A contractor buddy was remodeling someone’s kitchen and they we getting rid of a small fridge that would fit so we took it.

When I heard they were getting rid of it I bought ten bags.
I am down to my last one.

I now buy insecticide from a company called Solutions for my back pack sprayer. The ticks are bad up here in NH.
