    Small Fountain motor

    I'll check but I'm pretty sure it's not. It didn't come with the fountain. That's why I'm looking for some sort of regulator dimmer whatever to slow the motor

    Small Fountain motor

    Not sure this is the right place but couldn't find a section on electric motors. I have a small tabletop water fountain that runs on batteries but also has a place to plug in an electric cord. I found one that fits and operates the motor but it spins is too fast. Is there an easy way to put...

    Building boxes with painted 3/8" plywood

    A friend has asked me to take 12"x14" painted pieces of plywood and make boxes out of them. What's the best way to miter the corners so the unpainted edge doesn't show then the best way to join them? Glue and pin nails? Just glue?

    Kenmore 665.17032403 Doesn't cycle to the heated dry cycle

    More info: I took the switches out and tested for continuity. When the little button is pushed down, they both have continuity. I looked at the door latch and how the striker activated the piece that pushes on the little button the switches. I bent the striker a little and put it all back...

    Kenmore 665.17032403 Doesn't cycle to the heated dry cycle

    I did a little more testing and discovered that if I push hard on the ends of the control panel on the front of the dishwasher, I can hear clicking and the dishwasher will continue through the cycles but if I let go i can see the door move out just a little and it stops the cycle. Would that be...

    Kenmore 665.17032403 Doesn't cycle to the heated dry cycle

    So, I put in a new control board but that didn't fix my problem. It still hangs between cycles. Any ideas? I noticed when I pushed on the door right before I opened it, it tried to go to the next cycle. Could the door latch be a problem?

    Kenmore 665.17032403 Doesn't cycle to the heated dry cycle

    I tried the reset and it worked for one cycle then didn't. I'm going to order the control board.

    Kenmore 665.17032403 Doesn't cycle to the heated dry cycle

    I think you're right. I'll see what one costs and how hard it is to replace.

    Kenmore 665.17032403 Doesn't cycle to the heated dry cycle

    The dishwasher stops and the "Start" button flashes and the cycle indicated light is on washing. I have to open the door, close it then push the start button for it to proceed. I've searched for a solution but nothing is coming up. Any suggestions?

    Planning new vinyl Plank floor: How perfect does the old floor need to be?

    "I'm no expert but I think my first priority would be finding out why the floor drops off like that. There's no point in putting a new floor on top of structural problems." This area was originally a back porch that was later enclosed I believe by the original owner. I have had the corner by...

    Planning new vinyl Plank floor: How perfect does the old floor need to be?

    I need some advice on this too. I'm putting in vinyl plank flooring and have discovered that in my mudroom, there's a point about 3' in that has a drop to the back door of about 2". The red line in the first picture shows where the floor begins to drop. The second picture shows the drop. My...

    GE Refrigerator not making ice. Model General Electric DTL18ICSRRBS

    This is an early model. Maybe early 90s. Top freezer, single door, no water in the door. I now believe the water tube is frozen. Will check that next.

    I have now also replaced the ice maker itself and still no water flowing into the tray.
