    For those who use one of these;

    This morning the HMI, interface screen where the time and on button are, was staticky looking and hard to read, like the electronics were on their last leg. Not a totally new thing for us, but this time the machine wouldn’t work!
    While I was heading to DD, the war department was researching it. I had already made half plans to buy a new one at this point.
    I got home with coffee and the machine was fixed!
    Turns out the kitchen air and dirty finger add a layer on top of the screen that confuses or tracks across it.
    Paper towel and some windex to clean it in about 20 seconds, it’s read to go!

    I had a friend that moved to Chetek Wisconsin. He got married and I went to the wedding. Middle of polock farm country. Bar on every corner or every few fields. Lemmetellya them boys could drink. I was never so hungover in my life. That was 25 years ago.

    True in touch screen HMI thingies and cell phone lenses. Don't buy a new phone if your pictures are blurry, try a qtip with windex or alcohol first :)

    And :rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol::picard: on all the above
