I was wondering if there is a paint I can spray inside the drier that can stand up to the heat of the drier?

Our Frigidaire ultraquiet 1 dishwasher has always worked fine, with no problems. Then suddenly, out of the blue it stopped working last night.
I checked the dish load and it's fairly small, and nothing is blocking the door.
The door is shut tight.
I even went out and checked the fusebox, and the breakers are all fine.

I'm stumped. What would cause it to up and die like this?

Also, I tried turning the dial all the way around, and I noticed that the inner-soap compartment did NOT open. Shouldn't this open if the dial is completely spun?

I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.

I'm trying to get an idea of the price differences between units of different efficiencies, i.e., SEERs. Especially, I'm trying to evaluate if it is reasonable to upgrade to a high efficiency unit eligible for the energy tax credit.

I am especially interested in the various lines of Carrier units.

While replacing my neighbors basement wall, his contractor hit the side of my house and put a hole in the siding. After a month of waiting, they came and replaced the siding with white siding. My house is beige. It looks ridiculous. What legal recouse do I have? Do I have to deal with a huge white patch on the side of my house or can I go after the contractor to fix it?

This just started, sure hope my water bill doesn't sky rocket as a result. After it has dripped for so long, it seems to flush all by itself or maybe refill the water that's being lost. Hellllllllllp & thanking you in advance.

i plan on going on vacation for about 20 days. i have 14 plants. I have bought some automatic dripping thingies that are supposed to slowly give the plants the humidity they need to survive until i get back home. do those stuff really work? It has a ceramic tip and a plastic lid that closes on a 1 1/2 litre bottle of water. Do you have any other ideas on how can my plants survive?

I have incandescent and halogen light bulbs all over my home and they seem to burn out at a very fast rate - I'd say, on average, every two/three months or so. As halogens are rated to last for 2000/3000 hours or more, this doesn't make sense. All bulbs are the right wattage for the lamps they are attached to. What gives?

We have just had a new kitchen fitted and the fitter has accidentally scuffed the black gloss laminate worktop in one place by using a green scouring pad to clean something off it. It isn't as deep as a scratch but is quite noticeable when the light falls on it. Are there any products that are suitable to restore the gloss shine to the worktop? Can laminate floor polish such as Hagesan 'Wash & Shine' or 'Laminate Gloss Coat' be used on a laminate kitchen worktop? Any other suggestions?! Thanks for any help!

I have a two-story house and like most two-stories it's hotter upstairs where the bedrooms are. During the day I'm mostly downstairs and of course at night I sleep upstairs. My thermostat which is downstairs is set really high during the day (83) and 72 at night. During the day, the temperature's usually about 78 max downstairs where I spend most of my time so the A/C never turns on and I just deal with the natural temp. But then by about 10p, the A/C kicks in to bring the temp down to 72 (a process which sometimes takes a few hours). Am I wasting energy by causing this drop at night? Should I reprogram my thermostat so that the system is at a constant temp (say 72) all day long?

I am in the process of installing timer system into my garage and i have a bare wire (ground wire) i need to attach. Can i just wrap it around one of the 3 regular screws that hold my timer system against the wall? Or must i get a "special" type of ground screw which are colored blue (or green)?

What makes those ground screws different (if any)? Are they made up of different material than standard screws?

Thanks

This refrigeration line is for the central air conditioner. I had it, but it was old and when the house was remodeled I threw it away. I want to replace it with the new one to cover the refrigeration line. Thank you.
