My neighbor insisted I just needed to smack the side of my old Kenmore dryer to get it to start, but that only worked for a day before the $12 start switch I found online fixed it for good.

Has anyone else had a customer swear by a 'percussive maintenance' trick that just delayed the real repair?

My dad's old TV ran on a strict two-smack system for years.

Wait, two smacks? Like, you had to hit it twice every single time? That's wild.
