Thanks to all.  This site is really amazing and valuable.

I took the head off this morning and found a small piece of wire in the pan.  Removed it and everything worked again.

I drove to the dealer this afternoon and they had a new book.  Yeah!  It was worth the 240 mile drive and now I have my bedtime reading provided.  I'm hoping to be an expert soon!

I'm sure I paid toooo much for this machine as I usually do.  Therefore it's toooo embarrassing to admit how foolish I've been.  Funny thing is that the dealer that had the book is the one that sold it new and he also wanted to know how much I paid for it.  I put on my "red face" and told him I couldn't let him know. 

Past experience has shown me that whatever price is paid whether too high or ridiculously low, there is always someone that thinks it was a bad deal, and another thinks it was a steal.  One thing for sure, I'm not going to expose myself to the "trip to Walmart" by discussing the price with others as that becomes a loosing scenario for my joy & satisfaction.
