SOURCE: Cannot figure how to open top cover

The top of the machine does not open. You have to remove the console to get to the retaining clips that hold the entire case on the frame. If you wish to pursue this follow these steps: 1. Unplug machine. It's best not to have any live voltages when working around the console. 2. Lift console. It will come off in one of two ways depending on what type you have. The end caps on either side of the console are removable on some models by popping them off to the expose a screw on either end. If teh end caps don't come off, you will have a retaining clip holding it in place on each side. With this type, you will need to insert a putty knife (from the FRONT of the console) under each corner and push in to release the retaining clip. 3. Once the console has been lifted from the top, carefully lift up and back to its resting position over the back panel of the machine. Use care when when doing so that you don't break the plastic hinges that hold the console in place. 4. There are two brass-colored clips under the console that you need to remove. Insert a flat screwdriver straight down through the top into a groove in the clip and pry towards the back of the machine. This will release the clip. 5. Once the clips have been removed the entire case comes off as one piece. Make sure you disconnect the lid switch connection on the top of the machine first. This will be a plastic white connector plug. Open lid and place one under the front rim of the case and pull from the back towards you. The case will lift off from the back first and off the frame. 6. Replacing the case is always the tricky part. Looking down through the lid of the case, make sure you place the bottom front lip UNDER the frame first and slowly lower the case on to the frame. There are four cleats the must fit back into slots on the frame before it will seat properly. Also, make sure the back fits back into the casing on both sides or the retaining clips will not go back in properly. Insert the clips into the slot on the back panel first then push down on the opening on top of the washer for them to snap back into place. Now, I don't know if you still want to try to tackle this or not. It does seem like a lot, but it really isn't once you get the procedures down. If it's just a simple matter of cleaning because the washer smells, the odor may be coming from the wash tub itself. Running the machine on empty, with the hottest water cycle you can with a cup of bleach can go a long way towards killing bacteria and mildew. Just another thought to save you a lot of effort. Good luck. I hope this helps you.

SOURCE: My eggs bottom peice was sweating black tar

Funney no one has answered this at all and this is an old question. But the answer is rather simple. There is nothing wrong with your egg. Yes it is possible under the correct tempurature for this sweating to happen. BGE is made of ceramic material. and one must understand that ceramic material is porous. Yes the BGE is porous from the inside all the way to the outside. Very tiny micro channels of ceramic hold water and when heated gets released into the grill as well as well as release on the outside of the grill. Of course this does not always happen. Normally the grill must be running for a ceratain amount of time and or reach a certain tempurature for this to occur.

Fault 41 keeps on coming up when printing

In most cases unseating and reseating the cartridge in the unit to dislodge residue from the cartridge contacts can resolve the problem. If this does not immediately resolve the problem, continue the reseating process up to five times. Follow the instructions below. Unseating and reseating the cartridge Turn the unit on and open the lid or top cover. Remove the cartridges. Re-insert the cartridges. Close the unit's lid or top cover. Cycle the power to the device by turning the printer off for a few seconds. Turn the printer back on. Print a test page. If this does not solve the problem, proceed to the next section. Wiping the cartridge contacts Turn the unit on and open the lid or top cover. Remove the cartridges. Using a clean, dry lint-free cloth (a coffee filter works well), wipe the cartridge contacts, from the top to the bottom (see Figure 2). The contact area of the cartridge should be rubbed briskly to remove the waxy lubricant material from the gold contacts. The contacts inside the printer may also require cleaning. Using a clean, dry, lint-free cloth, gently wipe the contacts, from the top to the bottom (see Figure 3). Re-insert the cartridges and close the printer's top cover. Print a test page. If the problem persists, perform a hard reset as described in the next section. Performing a hard reset on the unit When the printing unit detects an issue with the cartridge, a software flag is set inside the device. This flag may not reset until performing a hard reset on the device Verify that the unit is switched on. Open printer and remove both cartridges. Unplug the power cord from the printer. Wait 30 seconds. Plug the power cord back into the printer. Open the top cover and reinsert both cartridges. Turn the unit on. Print a test page. If the problem persists, the cartridge should be replaced.

Continue to get beeping after taking out basket, emptying water, re-inserting basket and making certain lid is clicked shut. Thoughts?

All the parts have to be in place, including both the removable grinder unit and its clear cover, even if you're using pre-ground coffee.

It also requires that both the top lid and the front "door" (to the basket area) are clicked shut, and that the basket and its cover are both in place.

One thing to check carefully is the clear cover to the grinder unit. There's a rubber-like "nub" that seems to actually control the switch, which tells the machine that the grinder unit is properly installed. If that rubber-like nub is missing (and unfortunately it IS possible to remove it, particularly during cleaning) ... that could be causing your problem. If you see a hole in the top of that clear cover... you're missing that "nub".

Shadows appear when printing out

Heating unit (fuser) 's teflon roll is dirty causing ghosting. Either replace with new heating unit (it is on front top near paper output) or clean it.
It can be cleaned carefully with electonic cleaning spray (non grease) WITHOUT using any force (be patient) wiping with cloth and spraying again and again utill it is clean. Then spray silocone spray to cloth and wipe teflon with that.
Open unit: Remove mains and usb/network leads. Remove paper holder (printed papers) from top back. Under that you'll see small arrows on both sides. Push screwdriver to hole and release locks. After that you can raise dark lid from top. Under that on white lid there is 4 screws, open them. Open all back cover scews and take the cover out lifting from bottom edge. Open 1 screw from right cover (where network socket is. Lift white top cover a little bit and then you can open right side cover (from back to forward). Under cover there is flat cable coming from display unit. Open it and then you can remove top white lid. Push the rest of dark paper holder backwards (on top) and it opens and you'll see the power supply under that. When looking from back there is 1 screw at right holding black plastic roller plate. Open the screw and bend the plate to left (looking from back) Now you can see 50% of brown teflon roll that is around the heater lamp. Clean it with spray and cloth pushing CAREFULLY from bottom to top.
Do NOT push teflon horizontaly as there is nothing on back of teflon and it may broke. Underside there is a metal plate under teflon and you can use LITTLE force for wiping. You can rotate teflon pushing white gear at top (from top to bottom, it turns only this direction). When totally clean, wipe with cloth sprayed with silicone spray.
I do not know how long this helps (just did it by myself) but the printing result is perfect again with same color casettes than before.
