    Samsung Gas Range - Oven Temperature Fluctuates

    Our Samsung Gas Range model #NX58H5600SS has an issue that seems to have just started with a fluctuating and inconsistent oven temperature. I placed the probe from my smoker grill in the oven and the temperature (set at 350° F) would rise to above 350 and below 350 and then back and forth. I've...

    Samsung Refridgerator_RF263AEB XAA - Icing Problem

    Recently, our Samsung Fridge was not cooling lower than 43 - 44 degrees. I noticed ice had formed on the inside of the fridge on the back panel in some of the vents. For expediency, I'll cut to the chase and say that I found out how to remove the back panel that contains the fan and the sensors...

    Ceiling fan - light switch issue

    Whoever originally wired the ceiling fan in one of our bedrooms did not wire it properly. There are 2 switches on the wall. The first one operates the fan; the 2nd one operates the light on the fan. Problem: I have to throw both switches for the light to work. If the fan switch is not on, the...

    Water Filtration for Well Water - Cartridge Installation

    Is there a secret to replacing the filter cartridges in the blue canisters depicted in the picture? I'm only asking because I am on a bore well. We have had a LOT of rain the last few weeks. Our water has gotten tinged before but, it has been a long time. When it happened this time, I replaced...

    What is this??

    When I moved into my current home, this is what I found under the sink in the unfinished basement (see photo attachment). I have confirmed that there is no power going to it so, there is no sump pump. Basically, there is a hose attached to the bottom of the sink and it is connected to that small...

    Fruit Fly Infestation

    We moved to the country 7 months ago. We started out a month or so ago with a minor nuisance of fruit flies that seemed to be limited to just the kitchen. I have a garden and the harvest has been plenty. However, I think I may have introduced a fruit fly problem. We have tried all the...

    Daikin Mini-Split - Issue with Humidity

    I had a Daikin mini-split system (Model FTXN09KEVJU5) installed this past February. Although the air conditioning seems to be working well (blowing cold air) and the temperature is where it should be for the setting, the humidity in the room when I get up in the morning is rather high and in the...

    Trojan UVMax Water Filtration & UV System

    The house I moved into last month has as its water source a well. The previous owner had a water filtration system in the basement that he stopped using some time ago. According to him, the water is so good he felt it was a waste of time and money changing out the filters which include the...

    Freezeless Yard Hydrant - Leak

    I've got a yard hydrant on my property that when fully closed, leaks. Having just moved here and not familiar with these types of spigots, I'm not sure where the adjustment should be made or, if it requires a replacement. I've attached 2 pictures. You can see that to stop the flow of water...

    89 - 90 volts at Outlet

    I just moved into a new home and have discovered that 2 separate outdoor receptacles (2 locations near each other) both weren't working. When I put an AC meter on the outlets, both showed a voltage of ~90 volts. Is this indicative of a loose or broken wire somewhere?

I'm attempting to remove the metal elbow extension where one end is threaded for the shower head and the other threaded end goes into the wall.

    Sealed Fireplace - Won't remain Lit

    I've got a fireplace in my upstairs bedroom that I rarely use. It is a sealed unit (glass covers the gas logs). I am able to start it and when I press the wall plate switch it does fire up and will burn for about 5 minutes, and then it goes out. I mentioned this to a friend and he thinks it...
