Today the part arrived to fix the De Longhi Steam Ironing System. Shipping cost more than the part but the total layout was only fifteen bucks. The machine retails for close to 200 bucks so I thought it was worth it.
It was a bit tricky putting the new tube/hose on. I don't even have a photo! It works. I am psyched.
What looks like an overexposed photo is actually seam. The iron no longer leaks. If I get another year out of it, excellent. Even if I get a few months out of it, great. When it fails next time, I am gonna spring for a new iron. I'll probably get a Rowenta.
When I called Ingrid (yes, she answered the phone) she asked what I was up to. I told her I fixed my iron. This time she congratulated me on my ingenuity.
"Use it up, Make it do, Wear it out, do without," she said.
"I think it's Use it up, Wear it out, Make it do, Do without, Mom."
"No, you're wrong. "
OK.
She's proud of me and that's good enough for me.
Hooray that's awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteGood job, Elizabeth! (I learned that from my granddaughter—it was not the fashion in my childhood). Now I’m waiting for you to figure out how to fix that out of whack needle bar. Because I have the very same problem with my 301A.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a working furnace. I think you might be getting a blizzard.
Cheers, Katherine G.
