My washer was fine yesterday and I did two loads. But with that third load...I opened it to add detergent, and I hear a pop and it went dead. I checked the circuit breaker. It was fine. THEN all the water turned black. My husbands grey jacket is now solid black. I smell no oil and its not greasy water. BUT now it won't do ANYTHING. Can't rinse out the tub....or go to ANY setting. It's like it's unplugged. I checked and it;s not. ANYONE out there know ANYTHING about washers? Please advise.....HELP! Thank you.

I have an Ice maker that is not making ice. I checked the pump and it works fine. Is there a way to test the ice maker to see if it works or not. I don't want to buy a new ice maker and not have that be the problem.

In my last job I had a great desk near a westerly facing window so most plants survived. In my new job I'm nowhere near any windows so the only light a plant will get will be from the fluorescent bulbs.

Ideally I'd like a nice, smallish plant, that will grow and need some pruning now and again. Also if it could grow something (fruit, herbs, flower, berries, etc) that would be great.

Any ideas?

My sister called me sobbing a few days ago and told me that the city (with no word or community meeting to discuss the matter) cut down our city's oldest trees (7 in all) they were huge Sycamores , perfectly beautiful and healthy that are 100 years+ old My great-grandparents witnessed these trees being planted years ago, and they were loved by all. Their reason for this is Too many Crows were roosting in the trees and pooping on the sidewalk below!!!! there are many ways to humanely erradicate Crows, which are a problem, but have always been. They also had the money to get rid of the trees but never used it to properly prune them yearly to keep them from growing too tall(crowes like to roost on tall trees) The leaves could have been raked by volunteers which I would have gladly helped out, I think it is just bone lazy that they chose this as their solution, it is too late to save them now, but I want to get input on what could have been done in case they get ideas to Execute more

I hired a kitchen design company to do a total gut and remodel of my kitchen. The contract says that appliance installation is included. The appliance company dropped off the appliances in my garage. My kitchen contractor is claiming that only the "installation" of the appliances is included, not the physical movement of the appliances from outside the house to inside. Is this typical? I feel like I'm getting ripped off because I might have to spend extra money to get a mover.

I'm having an issue with the AFCI Circuit Breaker. It would randomly trip (once every month or so), It worries me cause there are not much items that are in the bed room except for a computer and APC backup power supply. It tripped twice while I was on the computer and a couple of times when I was out of the room with nothing in use. How should I approach this issue to troubleshoot the problem?

I have 6 halogen puck lights that I'm not fond of in my kitchen. I would like to switch them all out for undercabinet fluorescent lighting. There is a transformer for the puck lights. Can I just cut the wires, connect to new ones, and switch out the units? Or do I have to rewire all the lighting? The wires seem to be covered with a mesh, not plastic.
