My Bosch Dishwasher gets an E:24 error immediately when its run. We've found the only way around this is to run the garbage disposal and hot water for a few minutes prior to starting the dishwasher. All the discharge tubes and piping are clear and there's no food buildup anywhere. I thought...

I'm not aware of a remote control. Just adding a light kit to the existing ceiling fan. This one seemed like more of a bare bones ceiling fan than the other two (easy to install and they worked as expected). This bare bones ceiling fan isn't lighting the bulb and I was wondering if the blue...

I've started a ceiling fan light install. I've done two successfully, but the third one does not power the bulb on (tried multiple bulbs). I attached the blue wire to the black, and the white to the white with wire nuts. The blue wire has a crimp connector that I am considering snipping off /...

I have to replace some radiator valves in my house - I was wondering if there was a part available to just purchase the 3/4" cap on top of the radiator pipe and the turn valve, or would I need the entire assembly? I have a picture attached below.

I have a ceiling fan controlled by a light switch which I believe is on Romex wiring. Is it possible to install additional lighting fixtures in the ceiling and "tie them in" to the existing switch and ceiling fan? ie, all the fan and additional lights would all be tied into the single on/off...

I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on having a Filtrete water filter run to the cold water tap AND a refrigerator's ice maker...Filtrete doesn't have a part number to do this, but I'm open to alternative vendors for it, or if the recommendation is "don't" that is fine too. Thanks in...

Thank you! There is a bathroom above, but did not see any ceiling evidence or drip evidence of a water leak. ruling out htere's no fluid in the opener is a great steps, thanks for your insight.

I am looking for recommendations on a condensator pump that would be best for a residential central air unit with 20' to the laundry basin. Thanks in advance!

It's the Pittsburgh area, and it was something noted on the home inspection. I didn't know if one type of testing (available on Amazon / Home Depot) would be more accurate or thorough than another one...

Attached is a picture of the outlet. I had a screw in the box through the hole on the backend. The circuit was off. The screwdriver touched a metal part inside the box and created a spark.

I needed to put a remount the socket box to the wall after a cabinet was removed from the wall in the kitchen. I turned that outlet's circuit off but when I was screwing the bracket onto the wall, the screwdriver sparked (fairly big spark and the tip is blackened) Is this normal to hold...
