Thanks for all the very clear photos and descriptions. It was helpful to see where one of the gaskets belonged after I took things apart for a thorough cleaning.

It would be nice if the manuals for products came with such clear details and images.

I'm glad you and the contributors to this site care enough to provide information so appliances and electronics can be maintained and repaired rather than just discarded.
