does anyone know a climber who is also an appliance repairman in the Lexington area? If so, please PM me. Thanks.

How high up do you put your appliances?

I take my entire trad rack up when I climb, even short routes, but lately the weight doesn't seem to be enough... I'm thinking I could rig some small appliances to carry up on my harness, too.

Actually, I'm looking for someone to help me repair a leak in Tina B's fridge...

Hmmm...is it a toaster or chock stone?

If it is a fridge problem, you might get by using someone that is HVAC.

it's actually a problem with the internal water line, so an HVAC guy (or a plumber) is unlikely to be able to fix it, but thanks.

I've fixed one of those internal water lines before but the problem was at the connection with the plastic line that was screwed into the water line. Anone who is handy should be able to remove the panels that cover the internal stuff. Just be sure to stay away from the capacitors and don't bend the coolant lines and you'll be good to go. If you can't remove the panels without removing the coolant lines on the back you'll have to get someone who can remove and replace the refridgerant (sp?). As long as you don't have to mess with the coolant lines anyone that can take things apart and put them back together should be able to fix it. Just be wary of those capacitors! Ugly if you short one of those bastards by accident.

Thanks, Alan. I think I'll take a look at it myself on Friday and see exactly where the problem is. The access panel will be on the back of the fridge, right?

Was the connector you replaced a standard part from Home Depot, or a special order from the manufacturer?

Our frost free, freezes,then it drips in the inside. I have to take a blowdryer and melt the ice where water is supposed to trickle into a tube in the back of the ice box.
