Paul, I just was able to get it done following your instruction. I did not remove the escutcheon. Just used the wrench to remove the xap and took the cartridge out to access the spring/seal. Water was still coming and it took me a long time to drain all water. Thank you so much for your...

Paul, Thanks. I am sending a clear close up pic. Do you still think I do not need to remove the escutcheon? Thanks again.

Paul, Thanks a lot. It is the escutcheon (thanks for labeling mybpic). I will try with a windshield scrapper or a putty knife). I am wondering if that can cause any damage to the tub while trying to pry. Should I try with plastic or metallic putty knife? Will the plastic one break? Thanks...

Hello, My bath tub faucet is dripping water. I was trying to replace the spring/seal. However, as I opened the top of the cover, I realized the chrome top/cover (see picture) is stuck. I cannot rotate it with hand. I even tried a branch without any luck. Any help on how to remove this would...

Thank you all for all the feedback and help. It looks like my facet had "self healed". Thr dripping gradually slowed down and now it is completely gone. I think the seal/spring might have been a little "disturbed" due to the sudden water pressure and got gradually back to their correct...

Thanks for your reply. So when I turn the water back, no need to slowly open the main valve and keep a faucet open so avoid excessive pressure inside the pipes (a friend told me that but I am not sure how accurate is that)?

We were out for vacation. I turned my water off. When we came back yesterday, I slowly turned the water on while keeping the kitchen faucet open. When I went upstairs, I found the bath tub faucetbwas open (I think I probably didn't close it when I turned water off and drained water before...

Thanks. I plugged my cell phone and the line got power. If I keep it unplug for several days, will the capacitor be fully discharged?

Hi, My GE (JVM6175EKES) microwave made a large popping sound and then no power or anything. I am thinking the fuse might have blown needing replacement. I watched a few YouTube videos and got somewhat scared knowing about the capacitor. Will I be anywhere near the capacitor thing to replace...

Just replaced the valves (only the top part though so I don't need to worry about cutting pipe) and it's working perfectly. Thanks.

Thanks. Can I get any valve or I must have the same model? Mine could be 20 yrs old.

I tried to open the valve manually. One worked and the other 2 ( which were not working through timer) did not. However when I also see water seeped from one sprinkler from each zone. It's surprising because I know these 2 works sometimes. Any idea what should I do next? Thanks.

Thanks. My 2 zones I am talking about works sometimes. The chores look intact. Do you know how can I check the valves manually ?

I bought a new Rain Bird timer and connected but ylthe same 2czones are not working. Any help?

I have a TORO ECX sprinkler timer. I have 3 zones. 2 of the zones work intermittently. I tried to reprogram but got the same result. I have noticed some issues with my unit though. When I turn the know to Set time/day position, the hour does not flash all the time. If I push the know or...
