    Replacing carrier stem on Levolor blind

    I have a broken stem on my vertical Levolor blinds. Lowes has been no help. How do you get the broken one out? There must be a simple trick to it? Thanks, Brian

    Trane XR 80 blower motor issue

    I picked up a new capacitor from Grainger for $5.00. Put it in this AM and so far so good. The blower starts right up and no more burnt wire smell. I guess I will no for sure after a few more heating cycles. Thanks, Brian

    Trane XR 80 blower motor issue

    The blower motor is running fine now been running for about an hour and a half I think you're right about the start capacitor. Thanks for the reply!

    Trane XR 80 blower motor issue

    I am having issues with my blower motor. I noticed a burnt wire smell a couple of days ago and then it went away. This morning I noticed the same thing and even though my thermostat said system on the blower motor was not. I tapped the side of the panel near the blower and it kicked on for a...

    Whirlpool GX5FH iceing up

    That was because I took the photo after defrosting. It had a big coat of ice and I could see the coils were solid ice at the time. Thanks again for the reply!

    Whirlpool GX5FH iceing up

    The ice builds up on the coil cover. I have not yet removed it. The the pic had on my original post is the only one.

    Whirlpool GX5FH iceing up

    Thanks for the reply Jeff. I had the drain line replaced about two years ago when the bottom of the freezer kept filling up with a layer of ice.

    Whirlpool GX5FH iceing up

    I have had this whirlpool about 3 years and this is at least the third time I remember the back of the freezer icing up (see photo)and blocking the vents that circulate cold air. As a result each time I have to shut it down and let it defrost completely. The last time was early Oct 2014. I...

    No voltage at thermostat

    I learned more then I thought I could ever learn about HVAC here. Now I feel confident tackling any issue if one comes up again. Thanks! Brian

    No voltage at thermostat

    I had a friend of the family come by today and we are back up and running! He was able to get 120 to the transformer right away so I must have done something wrong there! He found that the wire from the air handler to the compressor was bad so we replaced that. Then that the contactor was bad...

    No voltage at thermostat

    I had a setback with this thing. I ended up burning up the transformer and not sure why. I went and got another one and mounted it with an inline fuse on the hot 24 volt wire. Now I am not getting any power to the transformer. I used the same wires from the old one! Checked with volt meter...

    No voltage at thermostat

    Since my last post I was able to get the blower motor running from the thermostat set on cool. The compressor would not start unless I pushed in the contactor. I measured the voltage on the circuit board Y C was 14.5 and G C was 11.5. The voltage at the wires outside was about the same. After...

    No voltage at thermostat

    I have a 19 year old Trane XE 80. Yesterday I turned the air on and I did hear it kick on. About an hour later I heard nothing running and my Honeywell programmable thermostat said "system on". However the furnace blower and compressor were not running. I checked for 24 volts in the wires going...
