My lawn mower is about two years old. But when I mow it works fine for a while then shuts off. I've cleaned the filter, it has plenty of gas, and the oil is good. A friend said to spray a little WD-40 on it and it worked fine for a minute and then the same thing again. Can't figure out exactly the problem is. Any answers or suggestions?

About 3 weeks ago we started to hear a very loud and annoying ringing sound coming from our neighbor's house. My husband determined that it was coming from the heat pump when the air conditioning is running. We contacted them, but we have not received a response. It would be helpful to know what might be causing the problem before we try contacting them again. We have lived here 18 years and this sound has never occurred before, and it wakes us up during the night. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I'm a do it your selfer. I was looking into buying a used commercial carpet extractor for home use and found one for sale by an individual which was modified to also clean chimneys and air vents. He says it has microfilters to prevent contaminants from leaving the vacuum. Is this too good to be true?

I recently installed a new Craftsman 1/2 hp garage door opener. The maintenace section of the manual says to periodically lube the door hinges but says nothing about the chain. Is this an oversight? If not what should I use? Is WD-40 acceptable?

What's going on with my central air? When it's over 90 outside, it just can't keep up. The unit is 4 yrs. old- I've never noticed this behavior before. It usually runs about 5 degrees over what the thermostat is set at. It recovers fine once the sun sets- It cools great, but in the heat of the day, it just seems inefficient. Do I need to get it charged? New construction house, no other problems, and I've always changed the filters. Any ideas on what to ask the technician/repairman?
Thanks!

I just got a new ge fridge, the side-by-side model with a water and ice despenser. The despenser is supposed to control the temperature inside as well as despense water and ice and all that, but i tried pressing buttons, and nothing lights up or makes any noise or anything! I made sure it was plugged in, I checked the manual over and over, and I even called the company! We still can't find what's wrong with it. The inside of the fridge and everything else is working fine, but we just can't get the outside despenser to work and light up. Can anyone please tell me whats going on? Thank you so much!

For the second time in 6 months, our laminate countertops have warped-are they cheap, or do we do something wrong? The company where we bought them have come out and replaced them before, and now it has happened again!

I am trying to refresh my fuel since I believe it to be the cause of my loss of power. I have already replaced the air filter, fuel filter, spark plugs, oil, blades and belts. Still, when I start it up and then turn the mower on, I lose power. Any ideas?
