Maintenance & Repairs - April 2007

It doesn't seem to affect the way the stove heats, but it looks terrible, not to mention the stove has hardly ever been used. Is there a way I can repair this myself?

I tried pressing the reset button, but it still doesnt work. When you turn it on, it doesnt make any noise. Water backs up in the sink. I have tried using agents (LiquidPlumr, Draino), but it is only a temporary fix. Please save me some money if you can.

I've started out with a mini timer and a few lamp modules. I really like it. I want to do some wall switches now - but can't seem to find any reasonably priced ones. Where do you get your supplies?
Thanks.

I am buying a new home and the seller/realtor had the septic tank pumped a couple of days before the septic inspection. My inspector was unable to perform his testing. The realtor said it was a mistake, that he thought he did the right thing. It is beginning to sound "fishy" to me. I am afraid they are trying to hide problems with the system. Am I over reacting? I have read articles saying this is something sellers do to trick the buyer.

Changing the electric "cosmetics" in the bathroom after a remodel, the single pole switches for the lights failed to activate. There is Power flowing from the breaker and even tried putting the old switches back on, etc.

Not working and no window for light in the bathroom has become a problem to finish the job. Electricians can't be here until the end of the week.
Maybe some one else has encountered a similar problem on here and can help! Thank You.

I am trying to install a residential sprinkler system. Most of the system works fine with sufficient pressure. However, the further zones with rotary heads basically trickle. I measured the pump output to be 5 GPM, is this my problem. I even tried a pressure tank which made little difference. I can also hear a gurgle of water at the valve for the furthest section. I used 1 inch piping. What can I do?

I am replacing the deck belt on my MTD yard machine riding mower. I have removed the deck and I'm ready to replace the deck belt. The problem is there are two pins attached to the frame. These pins keep the belt from sliding off the engine pully. They must be removed so I can completely replace the deck belt. How do I remove those pins?

I've been told that if you have hot water radiator heating, then there is no duct framework for air conditioning.

It's an MTD rear tine tiller. The shifter doesn't start the tines anymore? It will travel fine in forward and reverse but when I switch over to till it just keeps moving forward without the tines running? Has anyone had one of these apart? Is there a key in there that might be sheared off?

On December 13, 2006 a local home builder put 2 new houses across the street from me. They used an excavating company to dig a ditch and install a new sewer system in my Utility Right of Way by the road. They covered the pipes up and have not touched my property since. I told them I was going to sell my house in the Spring, and needed it fixed ASAP. Well since then, I have tried to contact them several times, called, stopped by their office and find out a time frame.
Still, I see them drive past and look at my property, but never stop or call. It is now April 3, and no sign of any work going to be done. I just received an estimate for $2750 to have it repaired. Everyone who comes to look at my beautiful house for sale asks about the damage up front.
WHAT DO I DO? Is there a certain period of time they have to repair it? Do I take them to small claims court? I live in Ohio and it is now spring. Need help ASAP, my house is for sale and my property looks terrible.

I'm sure this has been asked and answered before, but I don't know what kind it is I need to ask, so maybe someone can answer it for me or point me in the right direction.

I changed some light switches in my kitchen (from cream color to white), not thinking about the fact that there is a light that is controlled by two switches (I had to replace one of them). Now it doesn't work right. I'm sure I used the wrong kind of switch when I replaced it. Before I go back to the hardware store to get a new switch, I'd like to be a little prepared as to what it is I'm looking for. I'm sure there will be someone at the store that can help me, but I'd like to have a little knowledge first.

So... What kind of light switch do I need when there are two switches that control one light?

Thanks.

I am a US military member stationed in the UK and I brought my US 220v hot tub with me and now I cannot find an electrician who will hook it up for me. I'm not an electrician, so I've no clue what I'm doing. Any help anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.

My kitchen has two ceiling lights, one at either end, operated from single switch. I want to install a third fitting in the centre of the existing two, operated by same single switch (all three sittings work as one). How do I connect the wiring?
I know that bulbs / light fittings are situated across the switch live and loop-in circuit neutral connector blocks in the circuit, but are additional bulbs / fittings on same single switch added in series or parallel between these blocks?
Of the two existing lights, one appears to be a 'master', with full circuit connections evident behind its plate including switch live block, whilst the other 'secondary' firring has just a single T+E cable (which I realise could indicate last fitting on loop-in). As I just want to add a fitting to same switch, can I just add a T+E cable from the switch-live and neutral blocks of the ‘master’ to the live and neutral blocks of the proposed third fitting plate (parallel installation)?
