From the bench

# Shop notes

Short write-ups on things we keep finding. No theory we have not seen in a kitchen.

Notes from the bench, written after the job rather than before it.

Shop Note 005

### Storm Season and the Control Board

A board that died during a storm and a board that has been getting stranger for months are two different repairs. The history matters.

Shop Note 004

### Loud Hood, Room Full of Smoke

Noise is not airflow. Before anyone buys a blower, open a window and run the hood again. That test is free and it settles most of these.

Shop Note 003

### It Clicks But It Will Not Light

Spark, gas, path. A burner that clicks without lighting is missing one of the three, and it is usually the cheapest one.

Shop Note 002

### The Oven Is Not Lying, It Is Drifting

A display is not a measurement. Put a probe on the middle rack and watch a full cycle before anyone orders a part.

Shop Note 001

### How an Ice Maker Fails

Smaller cubes first, then a slower harvest, then a valve that will not seat and a sheet of ice on the freezer floor. The order matters more than the part.
