    Central A/C Unit Shutting Off Blower ?

    Well, he just left. It was a bad relay switch. He was here for almost 2 hours checking everything 11 ways to Sunday. He is confident this was the issue, so hopefully the problem is solved. He also gave us a price on a new Mitsubishi Mini Split for our bedroom. $2.5K to 3.0K installed. I think...

    Central A/C Unit Shutting Off Blower ?

    The guy has been out twice for this in the last 3 weeks. The last time, (last week), he installed a new thermostat, and yesterday afternoon it happened again. The unit runs fine, and blows ice cold air. But in the late afternoon, (the warmest part of the day), The blower will shut off while the...

    Need Help Adjusting Garage Door Opener ???

    LB-1911 for the save! This fixed the problem in less than 5 minutes. It took me longer to back the truck out, and set up the step stool, than it did to make the adjustment. Thanks much (y):love: 1. Adjusting the “OPEN” limit switch (Fig. 8-1). • Run door to open position by pushing wall...

    Need Help Adjusting Garage Door Opener ???

    This is my Genie Intellicode Garage Door Opener that came with my house. I had new insulated garage doors installed a few years back, and this one, (single door model), is not opening far enough. The double door next to it works fine. But this one needs to go up about a half an inch more, in...

    Generator Surge Protection ??

    Would it be wise to use something like this, coming off the 50 AMP receptacles on my generators? (Far right 50 AMP female plug). Or could it possibly cause issues? Would it protect the generator itself, or only what is drawing current off it...

    What temperature do you set your hot water to?

    On the gas water heaters I've had, I've always set them to the low side of the "Normal" setting. On all of the electric water heaters I've had, I have never touched them. Whatever the factory setting was, the water always seemed hot enough. I've never measured any with a thermometer.

    Best Electrical Tape ???

    Of the 2, I like the 88 the best because it's a bit thicker.

    Best Electrical Tape ???

    For those of you out there who use a lot of it. What in your opinion, is the best quality electrical tape money can buy? And while we're at it, what are the brands to avoid?

    Need advice on heater for small shop

    I have 2 of these. One in my 3 car garage (980 sq. ft.) And another in my house. I can't say enough good about them. I even put a CO detector right next to them and they never made a sound. Flued propane heaters waste too much heat. This unit wastes none. You can also buy a fan kit for it that...

    Garage Door Spring Tension ?

    I had always heard they were supposed to "float". That is remain stationary in the middle when let go of. That is apparently not the case for achieving the longest spring life.

    Garage Door Spring Tension ?

    For sure. I bought both doors from him 4 years ago. He was the best and the cheapest by far. Never took a dime from me until everything was finished.

    Garage Door Spring Tension ?

    I have both double and single garage doors. Both doors were replaced about 4 years ago. Both doors are insulated. The single door has a single coil spring. The double door has a double coil spring. (One on each side of center). Last week we had a power failure, and I had to leave. So I...

    Just a standard Visa. I really don't know if they offer anything like that or not.

    New Refrigerator Making Loud Noise... Won't run ??

    I agree. But after 48 hours they hand you off to Frigidaire..... Which is a nightmare. I finally got a local guy here who is good to deal with. I'll never buy another appliance from Lowe's again. I would rather pay more up front, and deal with someone that services what they sell.

    New Refrigerator Making Loud Noise... Won't run ??

    I have a feeling this has something to do with it not getting proper ventilation. Something might be freezing up. (Just a guess on my part). I say this because I placed a small fan on the countertop next to it, blowing down behind it almost 3 days ago. And it has been running fine ever since...

    Someone is coming out Monday morning to check it out. We'll see what happens.

    New Refrigerator Making Loud Noise... Won't run ??

    Yes, of course. But trying to deal with Frigidaire is a lesson in futility.

    New Refrigerator Making Loud Noise... Won't run ??

    August 22 we purchased a new 26 cu. ft. Frigidaire Refrigerator / Freezer. It's not even a month old. For the last few days it was making a very loud buzzing sound, then yesterday it quit working all together, and the "High Temp" light came on. It was 40F inside the freezer. I tried resetting...
