Today I tried to put a load in the dryer (an electric Maytag) and turned it on and it would NOT START.. I opened the dryer and I saw a red glow inside that kind of freaked me out it almost looked like it was going to start fire but when i turn the switch on off it will fade away. We only had this dryer for a year but we use it everyday because there are alot of people in my family. Any ideas what the plm might be and how to get it fixed and how much?

I have moved into an industrial space and it has no shower, and no running hot water (ie. no boiler). I use an industrial catering kettle for hot water when washing myself and the pots, but I need to install a shower.

Can I do it? Do electric showers heat the water from cold? Or do I need to pour the hot water from the catering kettle in to it somehow?

Would be grateful for any help

This has just started happening the past two days but when the furnace cycles off it makes a loud whistling noise like a train whistle/teapot whistle. Does anyone have suggestions to the cause and the solution?

On the second floor of my house, picture a U-shaped area in the master bath... there's a fiberglass tub/shower on the left, a toilet on the back wall and an exterior wall on the right hand side. There are water marks on the wooden baseboards on the right hand side (of the exterior wall). The distance from the tub is just a couple of feet (just enough room to allow for the toilet).
There doesn't seem to be any water damage on the baseboard trim behind the toilet but the vinyl flooring is pulling up and away from the baseboards on all three sides. I recently replaced the toilet and I've checked the inlets and the tank where it's attached to the bowl; there's no leaking there.

Did I make a mistake when I placed the toilet on the wax ring, maybe? Could it be excess water from the shower, splashing over the side of the tub and leeching it's way across the space? Except for the edges where the vinyl is pulling up, the rest of the floor is really tight and secure. What's going wrong?

I live in Wisconsin and in the winter I have problems with water in my garage. It is a detatched 2 1/2 car garage. The floor wasn't "poured" correctly and there isn't any slope to allow water to run out. I have problems with the snow melting off the undercarriages of our cars and then large pools of water building up. I squeege the garage, but I am worried that the water could cause damage. Should I seal the floor or paint it?

The female connector out from the ballast is NOT offset in a way that will allow insertion of the connector on the round tube only one way. Is there only one correct way to make this connection, or will any of the 4 possible ways work?

Every few weeks I need to jiggle the handle to stop the running water. It's not frequent enough to be a real nuisance. However, it's not necessary at all in my other bathroom. What would I do if I wanted a permanent fix?

Just doing a new home. The house is okay, but today i saw very strange greenish things on top of the main garage attic. (attic i mean as the roof)

My husband says it is asbestos, and that after we have sorted the house, the whole roof will be changed because if you touch, scratch or play, it is very dangerous. It looks old old black like strange material roof, which has thie green parts that are growing point point point each area of the roof.

Should I worry about this if i go inside and start living in the house but outside garage roof has this problem? I am a woman, and don't know much about this, and i'm worried because we cannot rush to do this roof yet. Husband is calm, but not me. Help!
