I have an estimate from a roofer on an insurance claim for 24 squares of shingles and installation. Given that the house is less than 1300 square feet with a low slope roof, is there a legitimate reason why they would have charged for double the roof area?

Our dishwasher has been leaking out on the floor for awhile.. about a year and 3 months..
It's a GE potscrubber 650

we've had it since 1996... my dad has tried to fix it, but he has a bad back and cant do a lot with it..

He wants to just go out and buy a new one.. I suggested that we have it fixed. He says "no because there will just be a 50$ service charge and probably an expensive part"

Does anyone know of any problems that might be wrong with it?

Like specific parts or anything?

He says it might be the seal or motor or pump...


thanks so much

I have a Hamilton Beach/Proctor Silex indoor grill model #25265. A couple of weeks ago it was left on too long and the thermal fuse blew. I found and replaced the fuse, but noticed the unit was grilling at maximum temperature whether the temperature regulator was at low, medium or high. Now the fuse blew again. I will replace the fuse again, but would like to know how I can fix the temperature regulator. My friend told me I will have to measure the voltage of various resistors, but without a wiring schematic the mathematics will be quite complex. Hamilton Beach refused to provide me the wiring schematic. I have no idea how it broke, but how can I fix the temperature regulator?

The washer is mounted on a solid wooden pedestal. It doesn't walk during it's high speed spin, but it does make a lot of noise. The vibration is fairly noticeable and the vibration noise can be heard upstairs. Is this normal? I have one more week before the warranty is over. Thanks

It will sound fine for a minute and then the drum will vibrate heavily and make a sound that is hard to describe that grows in intensity and then gets less. I've had the belts and an element replaced in the last two years. Is it time to buy a new dryer?

We got a new thermostat becasue we thought our old one wasnt working, well now we have a digital one, and it is doing the same thing, but only with the heat the air works. Anyway seems that the heating unit wont read the thermostat right. It turns on and everything, but if we have it set to like 74 then it will turn on for like 1 min and turn off and the heat never seems to go above like 68 degrees.
