i have had my washer for almost 6 yeasrs. now it is having a hard time aggitating. like the load is too heavy. but it still does it on the smallest load setting. it is also leaking water every where. it takes it longer to fill up with water because as soon as the water starts running in it, the water starts coming out of the bottom. is the tub cracked? do i need to just buy another one, or can this one be fixed?

My kitchen sinks will drain slowly for a week, then seem to drain properly for a period of time, and then drain slowly again for another period of time. At the same time, other sinks in the house on the same floor level drain properly. What could it be?

Tried pest control firms but they all say it'll be around £100, but they'll come back in a couple of months. What I need is either a good way to get rid of them permanently, or a cheap regular thing I can do.

I am having problems with a circuit breaker switch that gets tripped when I have a Vornado Heater and microwave going at the same time.The house was built back in the 1960's and i am sure the breaker is old.But if this is only a 15amp breaker can it get replaced to a 20 amp to handle the 2500 watts that is getting pushed at it when both the microwave and heater are running at the same time? Is this something that can be replaced by the average joe .I have 4 yrs of electronics back in high school,so i am not afraid to fix it myself if it can be done by myself.Any input would be greatly appreciated.Thanks

I have never drained a hot water heater before and was told that it should be drained every couple of years to help make the water heater last longer.

Do you think it is mold? and if so, what kind is it most likely and is it toxic? I also saw ants walking near it. Any help would be great. Thanks

After the ambient temperature in the house reaches the setting point, the gas heater turns off itself, but the fan still stays on indefinitely. I tried to leave the fan switch at ON and AUTO; but still the same. This central air heater is perhaps 24 years old. What could be the root cause ? Bad thermostat, relay switch, or control board. Please, help with your advice. Thank you.

My laptop got stolen from my car, that was broken into, today. For various reasons it looks like auto-insurance wont cover it but rental insurance would (i dont own a home).

If i take renters insurance today, any chance that it would cover the laptop that i lost today?

I installed some insulation material (R19-roll from home depot) on my garage's ceiling. People say that material is poisonous, when installing one needs cover one's nose and mouth to avoid inhaling the material (fiber glass I think). Now I'm wondering if that's the case, why would I install it on the garage ceiling because I'll be breath in the stuff whenever I'm in the garage. Am I suppose to board it up?
