My dish washer wont drain completely , what are the potential reasons for this? I have tried running a cycle with drain cleaner, but that did not fix it.

Okay, I have a pretty serious problem and my girlfriend threatened to leave me if I do not fix it. :-) j/k

Anyways, I have a Kohler shower. I have one dial that controls water flow(pressure) and another dial that controls water temp. The link to what I have behind the walls is http://www.us.kohler.com/onlinecatalog/detail.jsp?item=274302

When I turn the temp up to it's hottest temp, the water only gets warm at best. I can tolerate it but it is not ideal. I have checked the hot water heater and it is fine. I have checked other showers and sinks and they provide adequate hot water. I have also removed the trim that controls temp and tried adjusting the mixing valve stemp with no luck. I suppose this is my final effort before I call someone out to fix it. Hope some can help me out with this annoying problem.

Thanks in advance.

There is light shining around my door. I need to know what is best to close the gap around my door. I tried that foam that has adhesive, but then the door wouldn't close.

Had recent plumbing replaced and no water is leaking in the basement on the floor. No flooding either.

We already have thermostatic valves of the ordinary sort (Danfoss) all over - the ones that are just like glorified radiator knobs. Trouble is they control the temperature of themselves, not the temperature of the room, and the adjustment is a bit finicky.

Surely there's something better available nowadays?

Thanks!

It is a screwed on coupling, the last one before the wall. I tighten it, then maybe a week later it is loose again. it is in the back of the the cabinet so it don't get bumped. If I was to wrap the male end of the coupling with plumbers teflon tape, would that help?

Hi,
I'm interested in solving a problem I have. I would like to activate a small motor (36 watt, 0.57 amps) to turn on for 5 or 6 seconds via a motion dectector.
Does anyone know how I would do this? Is there a cheap product I could buy?

Thanks

I suspect my older furnace is the cause of the problem. I live in Northern Ohio and my home and furnace are 55 years old.
