In the past few weeks, I’ve been able to Google my way out of some costly repairs around the house.
First, it was the garbage disposal after the potato skins went down the drain. Then the dryer quit working, and while I couldn’t actually fix it, I was able to verify the estimate to get her running again. Then, a couple of days ago the Michael Scott Sebring had an ignition issue, which Google (and a rubber mallet) solved in .02 seconds. Oh, and my Motorola Q9C was freaking out as well, and a quick search and a couple of settings changed and presto-chango, life was back to normal again.
Next time a small appliance in your house quits working, throw it out and by a new one at Wal-Mart for $6. If something more costly goes out, Google it, and you just might be able to fix it yourself.

Nice! I love it friend!
Hitting the starter with your rubber mallet is only a temp fix, better get Michael Scott to the shop before you have to walk home
I fixed our furnace that way this past winter, I was getting colder and colder all day … the part was $12 from Mexico bought on Ebay vs $250 house call and $75 for the part. That and instructions from Google and we were warm once again!
