Dear Jeff1
I called you a few days ago about my GE fridge, about water leaking into my refrigerator. I did what you instructed me what to do and it worked for a few days. Then it started to do the same thing. I took the bottom of the freezer out and used a hair dryer to thaw out the drip pan out. It worked for a day or so and started leaking again, so I took the bottom of the freezer out again and found the whole drip pan was solid ice. My question to you is, is it possibble that the icemaker is leaking where the supply is comming into the back of the icemaker or the icemaker is leaking internaly where I can't see it.
Thank you for your help

I have a large, (2'X 3'), 70 year old tapestry that has become dull and dirty through the years. It does not apppear to be made of wool. The fabric itself resembles a brocade upholstery fabric. It is mounted on wood (glued), and framed. While the fading of the colors can not be helped, I would like to 'brighten it up' by cleaning it. Any suggestions as to how I could safely clean it?

Regular vacuuming will keep dust at bay. A dry sponge from the home center or janitorial supply works as a giant eraser on nonwashable items. (Never wet the dry sponge.) Because of its age, it is probably fragile, so proceed with caution in handling the fabric. There are of course professionals who specialize in the cleaning of antique fabrics. Because the tapestry is glued, I would be hesitant to use any type of cleaner that would saturate through the fabric to the glue beneath where it may cause delamination from the board. As we don't know the type of fabric, I am assuming that it is a nonwashable fabric and should not be cleaned with any water-based cleaners. Should you decide to use a solvent cleaner such as dry cleaning fluid, test first in inconspicuous spot and be wary of harming the glue.
