Started using a cash envelope just for groceries and it was a game changer! Forces me to stick to the budget because when the money's gone, it's gone. I was definitely spending way more than I thought before that.

Oh man, that's a solid find. I bet the building's HVAC is kicking up all kinds of dust and oily film right onto that strip. Seen it before where the air return is right by the door, basically turning it into a dirt magnet. That tiny bit of grime is enough to scramble the signal. Good call on the iso wipe, that's a cheap fix that gets overlooked way too often.

Yeah, that loose grip thing is huge. @margaret_perry is right about letting the weight help, it just clicks once you stop fighting it.

Actually, that overload protector fix isn't as rare as @harperc79 might think, it's a pretty common culprit. I've seen it a bunch on older units just like that Kenmore. When the relay and cap check out, that little black box is the next logical thing to swap.

Actually seems like the whole point is how messed up it is. The show makes you get inside a killer's head to show how he justifies it. Lots of stories are about bad people, that doesn't mean they agree with them. Feeling uncomfortable with that is part of what makes it interesting TV. You're supposed to question why you might feel pulled in by his point of view sometimes.
