    Rheem XP29T06EC30U1 water heater broken

    This water heater was installed in our mobile home by the previous owner. It suddenly just stopped heating water recently. So I was looking at the manual, and says on there that this model must not be installed in a mobile home, but doesn't say why. I called the Rheem technical support dept...

    Oven is leaking CO like crazy

    The oven has a problem, and we have to wait few days to hear from the repairman. My mother intends to use it anyway, even though I bought a CO meter and checked the oven. I found that the CO level went to over 100 ppm very quickly - after turning it on. If she tries to cook, it is likely to...

    Gas Oven putting out too much heat.

    So I thin it is using up more gas than is necessary, plus the as leak is not healthful.

    Gas Oven putting out too much heat.

    I'm cooking chicken in there right now, and there is a wave of heat coming out of it. I put a chair in front of it, and put a digital room thermometer on it. It was about 88 degrees in my bedroom. Four feet from the oven, it's at 96 degrees. Even when it's off, the air inside the oven is...

    Clothes washer makes loud banging noise

    Ok so I ran the machine with nothing in it, and the loud banging was gone. Clearly I have to stop the machine and re-distribute before the final spin. But I would like to fix it. The barrell or whatever you call it, seems loose. It moves eaisily. If I push on it, it easily tilts to one side.

    Clothes washer makes loud banging noise

    It's right at the end of the cycle, right when the machine is trying to slow the spinning down. Is it dying?

    Ah, the clog was caused by chicken grease from an upstairs condo. I'll try that, thanks.

    Particle board in kitchen cabinet will not dry

    I recently had a handyman unclog a kitchen pipe, and he failed to use a any kind of bucket while doing so. He got both water and chemicals all over the particle board. He cleaned it up, but one particular spot got really damaged. It became discolored and swelled. I don't think mold is a...

    does my ceiling really need to be damaged in order to remove wet insulation?

    Further thought: would one ordinarily do this only if one actually sees mold damage on the the wall or ceiling , and/or smells mold? I ask because that is not the case here.
