I assume you have a "high loop" in your drain hose so it does not fill up from the sink draining. Some dishwashers have the hose routed on the side of the dishwasher, others you have to tie the hose up to the underside of the counter top or somewhere close to that...

Check the drain tube is clear from the freezer compartment to the pan underneath near the coils. A common problem is with the defrost circuit of drain tube blocked with trash or food items. Water has no where to go and refreezes after defrost cycle melts the coils for a short period of time.

Add some food coloring to the water in the tank. Then look for water trickling into the bowl over a period of time. This will confirm the flapper is bad.

You will see frost on the lines at the A coil above the air handler/furnace . Also Air flow will be reduced coming out of the vents. Check the lines for a warm/hot feel on the small line and cool/cold on the larger copper line. Is the compressor running or just the fan on the outside? Cut power...

Sounds like the trap for the DWV line is installed in this area.

The fuse in most of today's units are like the plug-able fuses in automobiles. 3 or 5 Amp. It should plug into the control board. Also remember there is a safety interlock on furnace-air handler that kills AC power when you open up the compartment. In a pinch, fuse close in size may be found at...

This unit most likely has R22 Freon in it. The R22 is very expensive now. If it is a 1997 unit, replace it with a R410A Higher SEER outside unit and A coil. If your furnace is the same one from 1997, probably replace it too. I replaced the 2 systems in my house from 1996 last year. Lower power...

Check out Johnstone Supply. http://www.johnstonesupply.com/storefront/index.ep They will sell parts to "Non Certified" A/C service personnel. Some of the other supply houses will not sell to you if you are not licensed. Kind of BS but whatever. Replace the contactor, when you filed the contacts...

Many of the newer faucets come with pre-attached supply lines that will connect to the cutoff valves directly. Inspect the faucet you select carefully.

What I do is make a small hole in the duct above the A Coil that is connected to the furnace/air handler(assuming you have a vertical setup. If horizontal then insert between A Coil and duct work). Insert the thermometer there to check the air being cooled and also check the air at your filter...

Good deal. You should have 18-21 degrees diff between the Cold air and return air temps once house stabilizes.

Yes, The fan should be replaced based on your description and the fact you exchanged the Cap already that helps with the start and run function of the motor. Good luck. Check your area for a Johnstone Supply location if you have trouble getting the part from another AC supply house.

Probably have fixed this by now. You probably blew the small fuse in the circuit. Check the circuit board for a fuse.

If the fan motor is turning at a reduced RPM this will affect the unit's cooling ability. Also clean the coils with coil cleaner or a 409/Simple Green product. Wash out with a powerful stream of water from the garden hose. Be sure to set the thermostat to OFF and disconnect the power to the...

They should not be wired in series.

Not an expert in this area but I believe it is the tolerance of each LED and it's transformer. I have 6 LED cans in my home theater room. They are on a dimmer. As I dim them down, 4 go out and 2 stay barely lit. I can continue to dim and they will go out also. I moved them around in the...

I use stretch wrap, like the kind you wrap something to a pallet with. I cover the top and about half the way down the side. I turn off the breakers as well. Keeps the pine straw and leaves out very well.

Congrats and thanks for posting the results. Go see a movie or have a nice dinner on the money you saved.

I guess they got it working and now don't need our ideas. I really hate it when nobody has the courtesy to come back with what was wrong or to say it works now......

Cheri, This is a simple approach. Find the wires going to the actual light fixtures. You should have a black, white, and possible green or bare copper to each fixture. Obtain a sacrificial 2 wire extension cord, like to use on a table lamp. With the extension cord UNPLUGGED, cut off the end...
