Did you pull the whole auger assembly out? My buddy in Lincoln had the same thing happen on his Frigidaire last month. Found a broken plastic ice scoop wedge inside the mold from one of those party ice bags. Took him almost 5 hours before he spotted it with a flashlight.

Man, are people really that fragile? A wrinkled filter means your coffee might take an extra 5 seconds to drip through. Big deal. Half the time I just shake it flat and call it good. People act like a crinkled piece of paper is gonna ruin their whole day and throw off their entire morning ritual. Unless your coffee tastes like burnt socks, just drink it and move on. It's not like the filter police are gonna show up at your door.

Started using old concrete reinforcing mesh from a construction site near me - cut it into six foot sections and bent them into tubes. Works way better than those flimsy wire cones that fold up when a tomato looks at them wrong. Makes me wonder how many other parts of gardening we overcomplicate when the cheap DIY fix works better.

Yeah have you actually tried balancing a fan blade with a washer or a small weight? I've fixed a few cracked blades that way actually. The trick is to get the weight right on the opposite side of the crack so the whole thing spins smooth. Ngl I was nervous the first time too but I put a metal bracket on mine like you mentioned and it's been running fine for like two years now. Honestly the bigger issue is making sure the epoxy cures fully before you even think about turning the fan back on.
