Maintenance & Repairs - December 2007

Hi, I am hoping someone can advise what is wrong with my fridge? It is a Maytag Side x Side with Ice Maker and the fridge is leaving either ice or condensation in the top vegetable/meat compartment, depending on how cool I make it. I cannot get it right so no ice or condensation appears. Can someone please help? Thanks a million. Lea

I just built a house this fall, and moved in October. For a couple of weeks now, i have noticed the water from my upstairs bathroom sink is now stinking like rotten eggs. What is wrong? I don't have a well....and I have only lived there for 3 months, but the smell only started about 3 weeks ago, so it can't be the water or it would have always smelled like that. Please only answer this question if you actually have knowledge on the subject. Thanks

I am new to this type of lighting, and it isnt the lighting of my choice. It is too high and I cannot figure out how to get them out to put new ones in.

I've had a similer problem before
but last time it was because of lint build up
in the airway in the back of the dryer.

It's something different this time because
I've checked the complete air way
from the circular exit tube to unscrewing the
back and checking for any lint buildup.

When the dryer is on, the air from it blows out perfectly
it just isn't hot.

Did somethine blow out?
Can I fix this?
Or do I need a new dryer?

Thanks for answering the following question:
We want to rewire a 2 bedroom property(built in 1956).Can we use the old conduit? or we need to replace it?

I am happy that we can use the old conduit but still thinking how difficult will it be to pull through the new cables. or are there any thin cables available in the market.

This is possibly the weirdest one yet that I've asked. And because I usually use my countertop convection/microwave oven I have never really cared much. But when I bought my condo 2 years ago, which is 30 years old now, the oven had no racks inside. I use it to store pots, mostly. But I find I may need to use the oven to bake soon and I have absolutely NO idea if they even sell just racks for ovens and not a whole oven or where I would get one!

I have already ruled out that there is nothing affecting the thermostat like a draft or direct sunlight to affect it.

My vaccuum spits out tons of white powder all over my house when I try to use it because there is tons of white powder in my carpet!! I just moved into this apartment about 2 months ago and everytime I vacuum, I'd get a lot of powder. Well, now my vacuum won't even stop spitting out powder! What is this powder and what is it doing in my carpet?? I'm going crazy, gagging on this stuff. I can't vacuum my house.

we've replaced the dryer checked the connections on each plug and everything is fine. Big problem we can't watch tv and dry clothes at the same time because it interferes with the satellite when dryer is on.

I just bought a house on a slab with a partial basement. The part of the house that is on a slab, then crawl space and then main level, has floors sloping towards the wall that is in middle of the house ( the house is 20 years old). A structural engineer said that the weight bearing wall on the main level and the corresponding wall on the second floor caused the 2 2x10s to give in ( the slope is about 1.5 inches). He recommended putting a steel post in the crawl space to prevent any further dipping. He told us NOT to jack it up as this might case cracks in the wall especially the ones on the second floor. Won't a steel post like that scare off potential buyers who might think that there is some serious problem with the house? Our pre-purchase inspector never said anything about this so is it better to just leave it alone or install the post?

The other night I was awakened by a clanking/flapping noise from my heat pump (all electric).It was 3 AM, so I just shut it off to stop the noise plus avoid any further damage.I called an HVAC place in the morning and they came out.Guy diagnosed it as being the compressor being shot (basically on it's last legs).He said I can make it through the winter by using emergency heat.Yes, I know it'll cost more to run and he said it would too, but said it's really not THAT much more.He said a new compressor would be aprox $1500.But since my heat pump unit as a whole is 20-25+ years old, it might be a bad idea to put a new compressor in a unit so old that something else just might go in the near future.So, two questions.By running emergency heat through the winter, will the 'coils' or 'heating strips' burn out over time?How long?Is it safe to do this for the rest of winter?And 2, how much does a new heat pump cost?He quoted me aprox $5200 installed.My place is only 750-800 SqFt.Is $5200 legit?

I recently installed a new door on my home, that has a dead bolt and regular door knob assembly on the new door. I am trying to install a new storm door, but the door knob assembly on the storm door and the dead bolt assembly on the new door are clashing and will not let the storm door close. I know this is not a new problem, so would someone give me a solution?

Hello all,
Recently we had to service our refrigerator (only 4 yrs old) due to frost buildup and it cost us a lot for a small job.

Do others of you insure or purchase warranty for your major
home appliances (fridge, washer, stove, built-in micro, etc.) and if so is there a reliable service company?

Please let me have your feedback!

Our appliances are between 4-8 years old.

Thanks!!
