My dryer stop heating a couple days ago. I did all the checks on it with the meter and found out it was the fuse. I changed the fuse but it blew again. I rewired it so it will bypass the fuse on my kenmore 90 plus series dryer and it works fine. What does the fuse actually do? Is it ok to run my dryer without the fuse in play?
Thanks in advance

My husband bought me roses for valentine's day, and some of the petals fell off. The petals are lovely, and I desire to preserve them. I would like to be able to preserve their brilliant color, and all of the flowers that I have dried have changed their color and lost their brilliance. Any suggetsions?

I'm primering a basement with one less than half window that can open. Realisticly, I've been told it will take any where from 48 to 72 hours for it to dry. Is this true? We don't live there now, just fixing it up, but we are moving in Friday, I was hoping to paint before then, but what's your opinion? It's a 10 by 14 room that I'm worried about. They just finished the dry wall today and I'm primering tomorrow

It just started doing this recently. I even tried to use jet dry rinse stuff, but that didnt work either. I've been using the same detergent too, and it never did this in the past. Im afraid to drink out of my glasses now. The white film especially show up on insulated coffee mugs.
Help!?

I am installing porcelain tile flooring and need to use a jigsaw to cut special cuts. The blade I have (recommended by the hardware store guy) isn't working (its edge looks a little like sandpaper). The book I have said to use a tungsten carbide blade. If a jigsaw blade (the one that came with the saw) cuts metal, will it work for porcelain tile and make a decently clean cut? The edges will be covered with quarter-round shoe molding so it's not vitally important, but would be nice.

My house was originally ment to be only a summerhouse, and heat was installed as a after thought. It was a never insulated so "warm house/cold outside" causes severe condinsation/moisture problems. Any ideas to help? Insulating the house is not a option..Thank You

After washing my jeans they began to smell weird. It's not a nasty or gross odor it just doesn't smell like the deferent I use to wash them in. I've tried everything from washing them in hot and cold water, using different soaps and fabric softener and dryer sheets. I've tied Febreeze as well...

If I use baking soda or vinegar should I soak the jeans in the water with it or put it in the washer? Thanks to all serious answers :)

The plumber replaced our shower faucets and shower head. We used to have an $11.00 water-saving head and he gave us a moderately priced head that has 2 "speeds". (nothing too fancy)
Today I seemed to have run out of hot water (during an 8-minute shower) and the water hasn't drained out yet- very slow draining. Is the new head really that wasteful, or do we need to have him come back & check things?
