I bought Seville's Cotton Candy Maker today and tried making cotton candy as soon as I got home. It was fun. However, when it comes to cleaning, I was hell. The box said "easy to clean". Unfortunately, the manual/instruction/guide got lost in the store display so I didn't get one, and it was the last unit in the store and I didn't know where else to get it. I managed to clean the outer bowls, no problem, but how do I clean the spinner? the the place where you place the sugar--it has the most sugar residue and I can't remove it from the machine unit...How do I clean this machine?

If not, why not? Is it the lighting or the slightly higher up front cost? Or something else?

For the last couple of days, our water has been a little bit cloudy. It cleared up for about a day, but then last night it turned dark grey (its not even transparent anymore). It only seems the be the cold water-toilets, cold water from sinks. When we turn only the hot water on, its fine. Any ideas what this could be? Thanks in advance.

Well I just had my pump replaced but cannot get the upstairs radiators to work. There is an air blockage somewhere in the system. So far I have bled all the radiators, bled the pump, bled the boiler too, and bled the upstairs manifolds. There was only a small amount of air. I have closed all the radiators downstairs and put the boiler to max in an attempt to push the air upstairs to be bled; this was only partially successful as the pipes near the hot water tank warmed up but still cold upstairs radiators.

The pump is set to high speed by the way.

Anyone have any ideas ?

Home built in 1850, floor sag, part basement, part crawlspace (18" high), in the crawlspace area I plan on removing floor over area, sister some joists which are hunk of trees cut to a sort of square. (some are cracked due to previous owner force drilling for electric runs...idiot), I then want to run some lumber under joists hoizontal, lift slowly (over time) with hydraulic jacks to level. What should I use as a permanent support on this dirt floor crawlspace? The joist are currently supported with stones sitting on this dirt floor. I do have access to steel i-beams but wonder if they will slightly sink in dirt bring me back to my original problem?

So some kids broke into my house this weekend and spraypainted several walls in the house. They also spraypainted the refrigerator. We are hoping to salvage it by cleaning the spray paint off. (They didn't use appliance paint on it). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Insurance, of course, is not covering any of the damage.

The freezer was recently loaded with additional items since my sister and her husband moved in with me. Prior to this, the freezer was practically empty. Now, left exterior side of the unit is extremely warm if not hot to the touch. Does this mean the compressor is about to go, or is it just adjusting to the additional items which are now stored inside?

My washer was fine yesterday and I did two loads. But with that third load...I opened it to add detergent, and I hear a pop and it went dead. I checked the circuit breaker. It was fine. THEN all the water turned black. My husbands grey jacket is now solid black. I smell no oil and its not greasy water. BUT now it won't do ANYTHING. Can't rinse out the tub....or go to ANY setting. It's like it's unplugged. I checked and it;s not. ANYONE out there know ANYTHING about washers? Please advise.....HELP! Thank you.

I have an Ice maker that is not making ice. I checked the pump and it works fine. Is there a way to test the ice maker to see if it works or not. I don't want to buy a new ice maker and not have that be the problem.

I'm having an issue with the AFCI Circuit Breaker. It would randomly trip (once every month or so), It worries me cause there are not much items that are in the bed room except for a computer and APC backup power supply. It tripped twice while I was on the computer and a couple of times when I was out of the room with nothing in use. How should I approach this issue to troubleshoot the problem?

Our Rheem Criterion II CAC is shutting off with a very loud noise (like a backfire) whenever the thermostat temperature is reached. It does that when cooling or heating.
It uses a 16x20x1 filter but I cant see where we can slide it so it fits properly. We change filters every 2-3 months and tape it to the duct opening.
The A/C is probably 10 years old. I am not sure if any maintanance has been performend in the past 3 years. We are novices but can follow directions :)
Any help would be appreciated.

I am refering to the heated tubing running in the flooring.Can this be the primary source of heat? Is it a comfortable heat? How is the water heated in your system?

We have a gas water heater and we would like to have an electric w.h. instead. How hard would it be to switch, and what do we need to do to change it over?

installed a hot water mixing valve with the cold/hot lines reversed. Will the valve still work. Or is it oneway?? Thanks to Tarilbla for answering my previous question and supporting my theory that the mixing valve was bad. I replaced it now. But in the aforementioned position. DUH. Also will the mixing valve work upside down providing the connections are made right? This seems like the easiest way to install it.
