You're welcome. When I first got this machine, I'd only had it a couple
of months when it stopped working. I called customer support. The guy
chuckled. Apparently there was a known problem with some of them. He
said well, I can tell you how to fix it. Take the knob off the front
and then... oh never mind, I'll just send you another one. And he did!
It's been going strong for several years now. That's great customer
service! (I did purchase a second one to have as a backup, since I know
it won't last forever.)
