Maintenance & Repairs - February 2007

I think I clogged my toilet because I used paper towels to clean up after my puppy but since she goes so much I didn't flush until several were in there and now it's clogged. After awhile the water goes down some, and I try using the plunger but it doesn't seem to work, I'll try flushing again and the water comes all the way up again, etc. Anyone that can help?

My 14 yearold Maytag top loading washing machinehas started to make a loud sortof squealing sound. It just started to do this. I think the noise started when the machine was full of water and started the aggitator. I stoped it took the clothes out and turned it back on, that made no differance. I put it on spin mode that made no differance.

ANY SUGGESTIONS

I have two lights in my bath on separate switches. One switch powers the vanity light, and the other powers a can light over the shower. I am adding an exhaust fan to the bath. Can I wire the ceiling fan off the can light so they both turn on together? I have about 6 total outlets/lights on circut.

My heater will not be fixed until tomorrow and I want to put the propane grill, on low, on the enclosed patio for warmth. An answer with the chemistry to back it up is appreciated. Thanks.

House from 1890; closed hot water radiator system. Oil driven furnace. My upstairs bedroom is too hot cuz when I renovated the room, I put insulation in the room so it stays warmer than the other rooms in the house and is also upstairs where heat rises. I turned 1 of 2 radiators off in the room by turning valve to off. I want to know if there is any risk to the rest of the closed system such as too much pressure on the return or that other radiators may not get water from system though I think that the radiator I shut off is at the end of the line...thx in advance, Rob

I want to change the knobs on my bedroom door, but I can't get the old knob off. There are no screws on either side that I can unscrew. The only thing I managed to unscrew and remove is the latch on the side (where the protruding thing that locks into the doorframe is), but that hasn't helped at all. How can I get this doorknob off?

i am putting in a sub floor 3/4 inch plywood tongue and groove. i was just wondering all the low and high spots can they be sanded to form a level field? if so do i just attach the floor and then sand? i really dont want to use a floor leveler for fear of it making un-level floors entering another room. one more i have one really high joist and i wanted to know if it would be possible to either plane or sand that down to level ? im trying to install hardwood with a tile inlay.

WD-40 is supposedly poisonous. My blender blades are stuck, and my blender won't rotate them to cut anything. I sprayed WD-40 all over the blades and now they spin fine, although I read on the WD-40 can that the chemical is actually quite dangerous. Could I perhaps wash the WD-40 off of the blades really well and continue using the blender blades? Or just get new blades? Anyone else done this?

I am installing a new small chandelier into an old fixture. The chandelier has an spt wire--two wires coated with clear plastic that can be separated by cutting down the center. The wires look identical with the exception of the spt identification marked on one of the wires. A bare ground wire is also on the chandelier. The old wiring supply contains a black wire that was attached to a black wire on the old fixture and a red wire that was attached to the white wire on the old fixture. This is an Airway Collection 5 light chandelier--view at lampsplus.com. THANKS!!

I recently took down my perfectly working, yet dated ceiling fan to paint it. When I took it down, I noted which wires from the fixture were hooked to which wires in the junction box. After painting it, I decided to try and hook it up differently so that the fan could be on at all times, and the light would be controlled at the switch. In doing so, I hooked the fan to the always hot wire (red I'm thinking), and then the light fixture black to black on/off and whites to white. When I turned on the power at the breaker the fan started (good for me) with the switch off. When I turned on the light switch, I heard a pop, and had no light.

So I figured I would hook it up as it was originally installed before I took it down, and now the fan works off the light switch, but the lights still do not work. I've got the thing in pieces and don't see anything noticeably wrong ...

Any ideas? Are there little fuses inside the light fixture that somehow I fried?
