switching is opposite of what I need and any combo of reversing the wire hookup gives me the same problem - the fan should come on when the light is switched on but only turns on when the light switch is turned off. This is a puzzle I can't resolve yet, any suggestions? Thx!

I have an older dirt basement that sometimes gets damp, but all the water runs into a sump and away from the building. When we bought the house, there had been a flood in town that had left the basement filled, so when we moved in there had been an exhaust fan installed to dry it out. My question is that since it has been 8 months since the flood, do we need to keep the fan on all the time, or can we turn it off?

Is there a reset button inside the diswasher. Tried main breaker. There are no LEDs, nothing. We set it to time cycle on. Looks like it came on (the tub is about 1/3rd full of water) and then quit.
Wish I had an ohm meter to check the switches, etc.! ! !

My old neighbor passed away and the oil ran out. We had oil delivered but I don't know how to get the oil from the tank to the burner. It's an old furnace and both the tank and furnace are in the basement.

Everytime we leave the bedroom light on for too long ( say 30 minutes or more ), I open the door to the faint smell of something that resembles burning rubber and it gives me a headache. Is my wiring burning, the ceiling fan going bad or what?

We have a gas furnace that usually works just fine. There is an intermittent problem that surfaces occasionally, and it seems to come up on the coldest days. Maybe the amount of use it gets on colder days worsens the problem... I'm not sure.

When the thermostat triggers the heater, I can hear it click on, and I hear the heater start to rev up. It gets to the part where I usually hear the big "WHUP" of the gas inside igniting, but it doesn't happen. Instead, the whole system just kind of... winds down and turns off. Very disappointing.

It sometimes helps if I take the front panel off and gently shake all the wires and connections a bit. I'll put the panel back on and try it and everything will ignite and heat wonderfully. But when it's happening a lot, this only fixes it the first few times. After a few times, even this won't work. At that point, a whack to the side with my fist will usually get it working. If not, we just wait an hour or so until it comes on.

It's an older house and there is no 3 prong dryer outlet, I need to install one. Don't know if the dryer needs a dedicated line to the breaker box or not. If it does need it's own line what are my options? What what other line could I share if any?

How do I change the plug on my vacuum cleaner? It shorted out and I assume that it was from pulling it out of the wall from the middle of the cord. I don't blame myself for this one. LOL
