Easiest install ever IF you own a drill, a pencil, and a screwdriver. The part that slides out can be removed from its track. Two screw to the back of the cabinet, two to the bottom, and slide it back in.
The touch free kitchen faucet we selected during our reno will not work at all if the batteries for the motion sensor die. No water for you, even using the faucet handle thing. I was chopping up stuff for dinner last night and wanted to wash my knife and hands and nope, no water for me. I had just rinsed produce 5 minutes before that. Thankfully I didnât have raw meat hands but GRR!
6 double AAs later we were back in business but GRR!

I own the equipment, but I had a stroke a couple of months ago
Bummer. I hope you are recovering. Time to prevail on a neighbor? Young folk love using tools and being helpful.
lol. Iâm young folk in my building!
Not really âHellâ, but I ground my stand mixerâs gears down to nubs today while grinding flour. Actually pretty sure I messed it up yesterday while kneading 2 loavesâ worth of a very stiff honey wheat bread dough.
It made it through the 1 kg of wheat berries on coarse, but was louder than usual, then when I started running it back through on fine grind the gears were audibly slipping.
Looks like about $50 to fix, including shipping (the 2 gears that are made to wear, plus the food safe grease), and about 7-10 days to get the stuff.
Oh well. I do have enough flour for the bread Iâm making today. But I really hate hand-kneading; hurts my shoulders.

Got the new pieces today and spent an hour cleaning out the old, stinky grease from the gears and housing, Plus washed a bunch with Dawn soaked paper towels. Back in grinding and mixing tomo once it all dries,

Bit of a hiccough. Somehow I managed to lose a retaining pin. Thought it might have stuck to one of the 2 dozen (guess) paper towels used and gotten tossed. Went through the trash. Nope. Looked all over the floor; nope.
Scrounged around for something to fabricate a new pin and ended up sacrificing an old, small, seldom-used screwdriver. I cut it to exact length but itâs about 50 microns shy of the correct diameter, so I ordered a couple of new ones. Meanwhile, my little screwdriver retaining pin has made it through a kg of wheat berries and kneaded 2 loaves of bread for my friend whoâs still recovering from surgery (and his family).
But it wonât last forever given thereâs so much play, so the sooner I get the real thing in there, the better, because if it goes to pieces then chips of it could take out other gears.
