This sounds very similar to how LED Christmas lights are constructed. I do have a good amount of experience with those lights. The reason there are three wires that travel the length of the strand on a Christmas lights is because they extend the hot wire through to the end plug so the next...

There is typically two fuses on those plugs but in your picture I only see one? I would bet that ferrite you are talking about is probably actually your resistor that drops down the current to the LEDs I don’t have any experience with rope light so I can’t add much to this in detail, but with...

You need to move all the air, not just a portion. If you restrict the airflow too much then you risk damage to the heat exchanger. You could use 6” oval pipes to run up the wall cavity. When run on an outside wall you would need to add a layer of high density foam board in that wall cavity for...

DeWALT is garbage that rides off it’s well known name brand. Their batteries corrupt too easily, they are bulky, and expensive. I would say Milwaukee is currently the best for cordless, and Bosch is currently the best for corded (in their price range).

I completely agree with this. I use the same product. The trick to it is that you need to saturate the area that the pee is in, and let it soak in. It only works if it contacts the pee so if it’s soaked into the wood then let the enzyme solution soak in also. If the pee went under a cabinet then...

We appreciate the follow up. You would be amazed at how many don’t take the time out of their day to do that after we’ve taken the time out of our day to help them. Thank you! I can’t help but laugh at their solution, I would have expected they move the cement paver that is sticking up since...

Get that man a bidet seat! It will be the best present that he never even knew he wanted!!! Seriously, He will love it!

Are you able to turn the fan on immediately following the humming sound that you hear when it’s randomly hums for a few seconds then stops? How long has this been happening? Are there any other devices wired into the controls that may be back feeding power to the G terminal on the board? Is...

Who matched the specs up when ordering a new motor? Sounds like the new one isn’t pushing enough air to activate the pressure switch. If it’s working with the old motor then the pressure switch probably isn’t the issue, in fact it sounds like it’s actually doing its job. You need to move enough...

Is it wired up for the correct voltage? Sometimes the motors have a dual voltage rating but you need to connect the wires differently depending on what voltage you are supplying to it. Sounds like your motor simply doesn’t have a capacitor, or there are two brown wires that extend from the...

Where exactly are the sensors located? I think typically they are mounted directly to the suction line of the compressor but unless you have two separate evaporators then it’s probably a box sensor or return air sensor. If the sensors were providing identical resistance readings but were...

I should add, some motors do not use capacitors and instead the start switch disconnects the start winding once it gets up to speed. Induction start Induction Run, they don’t have a capacitor on them at all. If that more closely resembles your motor then the motor is most likely done and will...

You probably have a PSC or a CSCR motor. PSC (Permanent Split Capacitor) motors often have the replaceable cap under a bulge like cover attached to the outside of the motor. CSCR (Capacitor Start Capacitor Run) motors will have two of those bulges. One for the run cap and one for the start...

best thing you can do is to keep your space humidity between 40 and 50% RH with space temps around 68 Deg or above. Most residential furnaces and A/C units won't handle the required filter media required to remove 0.3 micron particulate without damaging the equipment.

If it must be original parts then the link I posted in post#7 has the replacement for $111, which is a great deal cheeper than the $380 you mentioned in your original post, even after shipping is added. With a google search you may be able to find it cheeper. That is just the first link I came...
