Good morning Jon. The coffee is great. In the 60s right now but temps are only going up into the mid 70s today with spotty showers. We needed a break from the unseasonably hot weather (low 90s) over the last 3 days.

I did all of my water changes yesterday so today is cleanup the house day. Vikki's daughter is graduating from college (Del State) next Saturday so a lot of her friends and relatives will be in town. I expect a few of them to drop by my house so I need to have it nice and clean.

Before I start though I must have more coffee.

Background....I don't know anything about fixing refrigerators.

Freezer won't make Ice...watched a lot of YouTube videos to try to figure out what's wrong with it. Checked the main ice maker thingy...tried to reset, nothing happened. Attempted to use my wife's hair dryer to see if line was frozen, nothing happened. Opened the cover on the bottom front, I just got confused. Opened the back part towards the bottom, more confusing now since there's a lot of wires and hoses. Visual inspection(pretending I know what I'm doing 😃), I found out something is leaking where hoses attach. I know I had to replace the part. On articles I've read, there's a chance that this can cause the freezer not to make ice, slight possibility it says. So I ordered a "part" that "might" cause it not to make ice and it came yesterday. Installed it and kept my fingers crossed. This morning....checked the ice maker and we've got ICE!!!

THis is what I replaced. It's got a couple wires that gets plugged into it and 3 water hoses that connects to it.
