What can I say?

I rolled the thing away from the wall and saw that whoever set this thing up probably knew what he/she was doing as the water line from under the house and up to the “plastic” inlet to feed said ice maker was copper line.
I checked to see if they were smart enough to have installed the off ‘n on tee that one is supposed to do in case of leaks, whathaveyou, and they’d done that. I twisted that little thing making sure that the water pressure was off and ran my air hose and blower up to the plastic line with a couple of quick blasts. I listened and heard the air release into the freezer compartment, so no blockage there says me !
So, I hooked the copper line back up, turned the water back on and pushed the lever down to start the sequence of ice cube making. I heard the mechanical sound and all that but no water was entering the trays. Tried this several times to no avail and said the hell with it.
When the bride came home, she asked “how’d it go honey?” And I repeated the story to her. Then she looks down at the floor and screams: “look what you’ve done to my floor!” When I did so, I realized that one of the little rubber thingys had come off one of the wheels, and the little metal teeth holding the rubber had made perfect little tracks in the linoleum !
I make it very, very simple for the bride nowadays; unless it’s watering my beautiful rose trees, or washing her car, my answer to these type of projects is: “hire somebody to fix it”
