Has anybody had this problem and know what the solution is?

When the oven get up to temperature. an error code? "F1" flashes on the display. Of course its out of warranty now, so I'm just wondering what the problem is and how costly of a repair we're looking at.

thank you

So i am posting this question for my boyfriend who doesnt have a comp at home:

He is interested in becoming a general journeyman electrician. He took a test with ibew in which he has not recieved anything back from yet. According to the california general journeyman electrician application, applicants must have 8000 hours of prior experience. Now to the point, here is my question: Do these hours need to be completed in an apprenticeship in an organization such as ibew, or can it be with any electric contractor? because he does have these hours, but with a general electric contractor. Please give me any information, recources and advice you can. Your feedback is verrrryyy appreciated!! Thanks in advance!!!

One of my bedroom doors keeps sticking to the door frame. It's like the paint sticks to each other. Is there anyway to stop this without sanding down and repainting? I don't want to put cooking oil on it either.

I bought a 2 gallon reservoir unit and a paint spray gun nozzle to use with my air compressor....but there is no paint hose included. Can I use a typical 1/4" rubber hose for the output from the tank to the gun ? Can paint be routed through a rubber air hose like this?

I am an electrician in Minnesota. I recently learned that firefighters must shut off power to a building before they hose a buring building down, due to the risk of electrocution. The same risk of electrocution exists when an automatic fire sprinkler system activates. I'm wondering if anyone has ever disconnected power to a building when the sprinkler system kicks in? It would be quite easy (but expensive) to do this by using a shunt-trip main breaker. Any thoughts?

My intercom works fine, I hear when people buzz me and I can talk to them. But when I go to "buzz them up" the buzz sounds really weak and sporradic like there's a loose connection or something.
I will report it to my real estate agent but I was wondering how big the job is and how likely the owner would be to fix it. Would it involve finding the wires that run from my top floor apartment down to the foyer door? It seems like a huge job to me but I really want it working again.

i moved into a house about 8 months ago where the water in the bath tub goes out extremely slow. the water everywhere else goes out "normal" i have tried several differnt kinds of drain and clog cleaner and even tried putting it in ALL the drains to see if that would help but doesnt. (it is a house that was built in the 1950"s) have seen lateral line cleaner and wondered if i should try that or if anyone has any suggestions of what i should do or try or if i need to call a plumber?

I don't know a thing about mowers or how they work or what needs to be done to them every year but for some reason it won't start. It started initially the other day but then died on me. It has gas in it but the oil is low. I pull the string and it makes a noise like it might start but the engine just never catches or something. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

Whats wrong with my hot water tap if the water is just trickling out?
It used to be ok but has gradually got worse and worse.
All the other hot taps in the house are fine, its just the bath tap thats rubbish.

I am not sure who to call about my water pressure. The pressure in my home is not terrible but not good. I bought a pressure gauge and measured the pressure at the main source in my house. It measures 38lbs. Is this low?

I had two new Kohler toilets installed in March. The guest toilet starting making "false flushing" sounds about 2-3 weeks ago. It was infrequent but is now seems to be happening more often. The toilet in my master bedroom started doing the same thing about a week ago. The two toilets are not far apart & both are on the first floor...not sure if that has anything to do with it.

I've read about the phantom flushing but I can't tell if it's the same thing. what is happening with my toilets is not lasting even 15 seconds...maybe a couple seconds at best. I can only liken it to the sound that happens at the end of a full flush (sounds like the water is on...think of filling a tub while you're on the other side of the wall) followed by the "ka-clunk" sound that happens at the very end of normal flush.

2007 has been an expensive home improvement/replacement nightmare. I can't afford much more!!

The all of the outlets on one side of my bedroom do not work, also the overhead light doesn't work. The outlet in my bathroom does'nt work, but the overhead light and exhaust fan do. The outlet in my sons bathroom on the other end of the house went at the same time. We have checked the circuit breaker nothings thrown and we tested all of the circuits. The outlet in my bathroom had a reset button which was blown (we couldn't reset it) we bought a new one and installed it. We still have no power since fixing that. The outlet in my sons bathroom doesn't have a reset button. There is the possibility that he got water in the outlet, but I don't think so. I don't know how the trailer is wired. There are no diagrams and it seems to be wired really weird (the things hooked up to a circuit are all over the place). Also the circuit breaker isn't really labelled well,. We don't have the money to hire an electrician and our landlord refuses to get it fixed. So any help's appreciated.

Everytime I flush my toilet the water in the bowl fills up as it should. Then later when I go back, the water in the toilet bowl has almost disappeared. At this point I have to flush the toilet twice before waste is taken away.

I am going to be getting 3 quotes on siding this week? Is that enough or should i seek more? How much are siding companies generally willing to negotiate on the price? Should I try to haggle? Lastly, are there ever circumstances when homeowners insurance helps with the cost of new siding?
