Maintenance & Repairs - November 2007

There is a paper stuck on it that tells the model # energy used etc., but I don't see a year on it anywhere. It's a Carrier packaged outdoor unit. The model# is 48SS-036080311. If anyone has the abilitiy to look up the year on that model and maybe give me any other info I'd appreciate it. It needs to be repaired and I want to make sure it's not too old. Also, if that model is known for having any specific problems I'd like to know that as well.
Thanks!

i got this window that's letting air in from the outside, i feel it when it's cold outside, it's like a tiny stream of cold air, but i can't find out exactly where it is so i can seal it.

Anybody got any clever ideas on how to find out where the leak is, cause i can't seem to find it with my naked eye ?????

It is a GE Model # GMS10AAMARWW Serial #FD901559 Made in 03/02. The black compressor at the bottom seems to be doing something and generates heat, but there is no apparent cooling effect. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I live in a ranch house on a slab, my gas furnace and water heater are in a closet on the main (only) level of the house. There is a vent the size of a cold air return in the ceiling of the utility room that leads to the attic, what purpose does this serve, and shouldn't I go ahead and close this off? It would seem that warm air from the main level and this room could escape/cold air come in, through this hole, but I didn't know if it was neccessary for the gas furnace to operate for some reason?

I just bought a plain wooden door from Home Depot but had to drill the holes myself for the knob and the hinges, and put it up myself. I accidently measured wrong and drilled the holes for the hinges slightly off. Now when I want to put the other holes in the right place I can't because it's too close to the wrong holes. Is there some way I can clog the holes and then drill new ones where they belong? I'm new to all of this. Thanks!

350 square foot freestanding workshop about fifty feet from main house needs to be wired for electrical (from scratch).

Will need new electrical panel, installation of 4 overhead lights, and at least five electrical outlets for workshop machinery (not heavy duty). One outlet will be dedicated to a window A/C unit in summer and shop heat in winter.

I realise you can't make a perfect estimate without seeing the property, but it will be a couple of weeks before I can schedule an electrician to give me a real estimate, therefore I'm asking about my project here just for a price range so I can think about financing.

Thank you, any electricans/hand people that respond!

Trying to cut a hole in my floor (no other access to crawl space under additon), but unsure if I should or not. Peeked through a small vent on side and didn't see any floor joists that were more than 2 inches thick. Am afraid if I cut a hole in the stuff I will lose structural integrity.

My husband and I disagree. I say that it is intended to make it so that you don't have to worry about clogs when small chunks of soft foods are rinsed down the drain. I put the dishes in the sink with a little rice, or pasta, or green beans or whatever, and just wash it down as I wash dishes, then run the disposer. (Our disposer takes whole strawberries and egg shells too, with no problem, but I try to throw that stuff away)

He wants every bit scraped off the plate because he doesn't think the disposer can handle the food (and of course, he cares because if it did plug up the drain, he'd be the one fixing it).

Who's right?

I am looking to purchase a home in OHIO, built in 1994-1995. I was walking through the basement and noticed a lot of various cracks throughout the basement. It is a block foundation and I found cracks going horizontal through the mortar only, cracks going horizontal through the mortar and block, cracks going down the mortar, looking like steps, and cracks going vertical up the wall through the block and mortar. Am I asking for a problem by purchasing this home? Please advise.

My well pit was flooded because my float on my sump was stuck and it tripped the breaker. On my lunch I got the sump working, but why would that cause no water in my house? Once it is all drained how do I get my water back?

Our house is really old. We got our wires checked about 20 years ago. Lately I've been experiencing some power problems but Edison said it's occurring outside. I worry though that I end up with a faulty wire and the house ends up burning down or something. It's just my own big fear. So how often to you guys get an electrician or some professional to come check your wires inside your house?

It is a very small room, really just a large cupboard, i am putting a tumble dryer in it but the one i have been given is not a condensing one so i need to do something with the steam. I know you can get the boxes that collect the steam and convert it to water but i am not sure where you get them and how good they are. Would getting an extractor fan put in the window work and how much would it cost? Could i just get a dehumidifier? Would that be enough. Suggestions please xxx

We got a mirror a few months ago that the company put masking tape on in a big "X." They ripped it off quickly, leaving behind bits and pieces (some big, some small) of masking tape. It has since hardened so much that Goo Gone and WD-40 won't even touch it. It's not like I can even start to peel any of it off, it's that hard.

What else can I use to take it off? Do I need to scrape it? Will that damage the mirror?

My house is 55 years old. The breaker box is probably just as old. I am having problems with my dryer and now my breaker box will not even let me turn on the breaker switch for my dryer; therefore, i am looking to purchase a new breaker box. Unfortunately i know nothing about what brand name i need and how many volts and amp i need so any advice on this subject matter would be helpful!

It comes off an old Sears gas boiler heating system model no. 229963640 (originally made by Dunkirk). I have found numerous 7021s on the Internet but nothing for 7021-5370 (it is a type U12B, 3150 RPM, 110v, case 0908). ANY help is appreciated as my house is COLD! I went to Sears but they want $214 so it is a no go there.

I called the local Fasco dealer and he could not find a cross reference number. I am at my wits end.
