Anyone know what type of oil would be in a kitchen meat grinder? The bolts wern't tight on ours and the oil leaked out thru the cork seal so it's close to a 1/8 cup low and the seal needs to be replaced. Just wondering what kind of oil would have been in there to replace it.

The oven will not turn on or heat up at all. However, the top burners work just fine, as normal. What could be the issue? I've never seen this happen before.

Hi! We just installed vinyl flooring in our kitchen (it's the kind with fiberglass in it that is bendy...a little padded). I was curious what I should seal it with to protect it from getting messed up.... I have two doggies that run in and out. Is there some sort of wax, or clear coat or something you recommend? Thank you!

Water does not work in the AM. The pressure has to be turned on outside almost every morning. Once that's done, it works fine the rest of the day. Any suggestions??

I tested the temperature control and found it works. Why the compressor did not stop? Please tell me some other possible reasons. Thank you.

I purchased my home one year ago. I had a home inspection done. My home is on a crawl space. Shortly after moving in, I noticed some cracks appearing in a doorway and then on the ceiling above my cabinets. I could then tell they had been covered up previously. Now my sons ceiling has cracked all the way across it. The floors are giving. I have had two companies come and inspect the crawlspace. The main support beam is giving and is made of 2x4's. The floor joists are 2x6's. New cracks are now now coming daily. I contacted the home inspection company and they have stated they did not have to tell me the support beam was 2x4's. One floor joist had been cut into and spliced back together. They said they did not have to tell me about that also. I do not have the money these companies want to fix this mess. My house may go into foreclosure over this. Is the home inspection company telling me the truth? Was it ok to use 2x4's for the main support beam & they did not have to revea

I am on Economy 7 system for heating my water. I also have storage heaters. About 7 years ago I had a whole new heating cylinder installed as the heating elements in the old cylinder had stopped working. Then 2 years ago I had to have another heating element replaced. Now 2 years later the same heating elemnet has stopped working again. So it has only lasted 2 years! Surely a heating element in an economy 7 cylinder should last longer than 2 years? I know it is on every night so the water heats up on the cheaper tariff, but aren't they designed and built to last longer than 2 years? What is the average lifespan of a heating element in an economy 7 cylinder? Does anyone know?

When we turn on the water we have good pressure for about 10 seconds then it slowly loses flow and pressure almost down to nothing. We checked all the valves and they were turned on.

We think this might be an inline filter that has clogged. Is this possible?

The valve in the picture is leaking too.

What other explanations could there be?
