Thanks for the video. However, when I try to program the new remote opener and I press the Learn button on the unit, the LED light comes up and almost simultaneously the unit light clicks and comes up, and the LED indicator light starts blinking rapidly, with no time to teach it for the new remote opener. The LED light keeps blinking constantly. What could be the problem?
Did you read the instructions on your opener? They usually have step by step instructions on the back of the motor.
No luck with the original operator's manual or with the advice on the internet. Op Man. mentions the blinking learn LED, up until 6 blinks, but my LED is blinking rapidly and constantly. I disconnected the unit from electricity and after plugging it in again, it kept doing the same thing. And the garage door has its own life: it goes up and down randomly without any input from me. Strange.
Hi I have the same meter I don't havening any reading any sparkplug 😢
Time for a new one.
Thank you very much - a very informative video indeed!!!
Glad it was helpful!
How do you bypass parking ? I take my cub cadet parking brake off but it shuts the mower off? Seat switch has been bypassed also. Thank you
I don’t think you can. The mower depends on it being on to turn on the mower and off to engage the the steering so it requires both settings to function.
Can you clarify what you mean by "oil the filter" for the prefilter? Do you need to wash it at all?
Soak it with oil then wring it out.
Mine does everything but heat up. The tray spins, it hums, the light goes on, the clock works, everything works, but it doesn't heat food. Do you know what that might be?
Could still be the door switch.
Thanks
My pleasure!
Could have brought your poured-solution water line up to about 1/2" from the tank lip. Everything inside could be submerged, including the plastic fill-hose and the flushvalve. That way, everything would get cleaned. After several flushes, pour fresh tap water over top the flushvalve and fill hose and everything's clean with no scrubbing.
You can’t fill it past the top of the center tube.
@@TightWadDIY In this particular case you would pull out the fill-hose, unscrew the white tubecap, and either cork it or cover it with a piece of, say, duct tape. You could fill beyond the top this way.
Most of my machines have this bypass done. I don't feel that tgere is a great danger to children climbing in an agitating washer. Just my opinion, but there are plenty more dangers like stoves etc. Climbing in freezers. Btw, do freezers alk have locks nowadays ? What about the danger of one child locking the other inside a downstairs freezer. Good God, now that's scary
I agree.
What is the actual measurement of the belt ? I've been trying to do mine but something isn't right. The belt that mtd suggests does not fit ( too short) I have tried everything.
Sorry. I no longer have this mower. I bet you have it routed wrong.
What do I do if the temp runs away high on you? Crack the lid and burp it down then choke it off more? Having difficulty keeping it low around 250. I did just recal my temp gauge. It was a little high. But worried this is gonna run up on me when I walk away from it
Don’t open the lid. Every time you open it, the temp will go up due to more air flow. Just close the vents more.
This video really helpfully
That’s great to hear!
Helpful video! been smoking meat awhile but always learning how other people do it.
Thanks! I actually have a whole channel for cooking now. You should check it out. youtube.com/@grillthissmokethat?si=1pOhmGnKC40uOf-M
Does that cable can get loose by extension of itself? Mine is not stretching long enough to engage.
It doesn’t get loose but it does move inside the sleeve. Did you buy an OEM cable?
@@TightWadDIY I think I found the issue: wrong belt set up. Thanks!
I’m hoping that someone in the know re electrical issues can help me please. I just had a friend hook up a fan/light kit for me and the fan works but the lights don’t. The original light fixture had a pull chain and no switch on the wall for it. The new fan/light system also has pull chains … Could it be that the lights won’t work without there being a main switch?
They probably hooked up the wires incorrectly.
this is like 20min, not 5 min lmfao.
It doesn’t take more than 5 min to sharpen the blade. It takes longer than 5 to explain the process though.
Who else is here because didn’t know how to roll them up 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Haha. It’s tricky since they’ve changed how they work!
Thank you perfect timing
You’re welcome 😊
I want to THANK YOU for your Restore-A-Deck. Videos. You explained the process very well and helped give me the confidence to tackle cleaning and staining my two small decks. Keep up the great videos and oh yeah Im a new subscriber.😊
That’s great news!
My fan stopped working mid day and all I had to do was get a small stick to manually spin the fan and it started working. Thank you so much!
That means your capacitor is bad. You should replace it. It’s easy!
I didn't see the link for the video on if your microwave is still on but won't run. How do I find that
Here you go! ua-cam.com/video/f2pIExbxQMI/v-deo.htmlsi=UFt3itR2Lm5JZVEQ
How did you know it was the T Con that needed to be replaced? Mine turns on, but I can't select a source or any menu items. After about 5 minutes a screen saver image shows up so I know it's not anything to do with the actual LED Display. I was thinking I needed to replace the main board, but then I came across this video. It's the first time I've heard of the T Con Board.
Yours doesn’t sound like a tCon issue.
THANK YOU! Four years later and you're STILL helping your fellow man! 😇
Happy to help!
Great video, what if both elements do the same. Mine just decided not to. Going to test elements but I think it .ight be my thermal fuse since both are doing it. Any advise ?
Sorry I’m not sure. Could be the control board.
How do you fix it if it's the other kind of float?
There should be an adjustment screw.
Good info video and straight to the point thanks for sharing..........
My pleasure!
Thanks - I appreciate your knowledge and that you share it.
My pleasure!
i just used some CLR. Tank was WAY worse then the one in video. Let it set over night/ a little scrubbing and its like 99% better than it was.
That’s great!
A mountain out of a mole hill. Just replaced this seal in the lavatory in my church, you don't even need to turn off the water supply if you can work rapidly or loop a zip tie over the float to hold it up. The great seal debate stems from the blue die in the original seal not being happy with certain types of water around the country. AS has rolled out a new version that should solve most every issue. I have had the original blue one at my home last for 6 years, and still working, must be liking the water at my home.
Turning off the water supply takes about 3 seconds though.
Just replaced a 12-year old expansion tank due to a pinhole leak near the top on the side of the tank. Water on nearby wall and puddle around the hot water heater were the clue to check. When removed, the tank was found to be full of water. Possible the bladder failed allowing water to contact the interior metal surface of the tank that caused the tank to rust. New tank was already pressured to 45 psi and was adjusted to match hose-faucet pressure before installation as shown in video. Hot water heater itself appears to be fine otherwise.
That’s great!
Well done 💪👏👍👋
Thanks!
I just followed your video and was able to do it and finished my laundry 😂 I’m so happy.. I’ve just ordered the part from Amazon now, do you have a video on how to replace it. Thank you so much 😊
That’s great! I do have a video showing to replace it too!
Here is the link to the video showing how to replace it: ua-cam.com/video/2_bEl0n-X60/v-deo.htmlsi=MHuDdWJhpmXeO55e
Fast and easy fix.. ua-cam.com/video/eDqDRgy2GVU/v-deo.html
I wonder if this will work on the soft top ones
It sure will!
-- ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ John 14:6 KJV, "Jesus saith, I am the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." 1 Peter 2:24 NIV, "He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed." John 3:16 KJV, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life". Romans 3:23-24 NIV, "...for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus". John 8:12 KJV, "I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life". Jesus is the only WAY to God, the TRUTH of salvation, and the Breath/Bread of LIFE. ACCEPT Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. Sins separate us from God because He's Holy. All sins will be forgiven and erased through faith in Christ Jesus. God ♥ you, is alive, merciful, faithful, truthful, and is waiting with His arms wide open FOR YOU! For Jesus did not come to establish a religion, but to become a mediator between God and men. Through the Grace of God, Jesus was given to us by paying the price at the Cross at Calvary. Repent and confess from your heart and through your mouth that you are a sinner in need of a Savior; that He had died for your sins, that He had risen from the dead, and ask that He forgives you and that He comes into your life and become your Lord and Saviour. A sinner cannot save a sinner, only a sinless person can. That sinless Being is Jesus Christ Himself. Through the faith in Christ Jesus, the sick was healed; everywhere He went, He healed the blind, the mute, the deaf, the demon-possessed, raised the dead, as well as performed many miracles; He also walked on water, turned water into wine, calmed the storm with His command, and was raised up from the dead. Miracles are still being seen today! Jesus is our helper, our healer, our refuge/protection, and our strength for when time gets tough. God is standing and knocking at the door waiting for your answer right now because THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS COMING. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It worked!!!!
That’s great!
This just saved me a ton of stress and money! We haven’t used the jets in years and are closing on our house in a few weeks. The inspector revealed the jets not working but thanks to this video, they are working now!
That’s great!
My hot water drips and the knob wont turn it off, keeps slipping, is this the same type of repair?
If the knob keeps spinning you may need a new valve or new knob.
Same guy that does grill this smoke that?
Haha. It sure is! This is my original social media channel.
@@TightWadDIY so cool I stumbled across grilling first then now the home diy Good content
@@carterlawless5924Thank you, Carter! I really appreciate your support.
When you pulled out the wd40 i was like yes I have that
Haha. It’s not the best option but it will work in a jam.
The idea and concept is great. Make sure you use aluminum or stainless screws. If the screws in this video rust, it will run down the shudder and then you have a mess. It will be tough to get the rust off the vinyl.
The spray paint helps protect them.
Top job mate
Thanks.
The tutorial demo takes 6mns.😊
Yep. The process takes less than a min though. 😉
@@TightWadDIY Thank you. Best 👌 Regards. MJ in B'dos
Very helpful! I followed your advice to remove and reinstall the battery, and it worked perfectly. Thank you!
If it comes back on, make sure you get your codes pulled
My garage door opener closes part way then reverses and comes back up. I have cranked the DOWN force screw all the way and it still clutches and comes back up - without any blinking light (so it is not the sensors). I can get it down by holding the remote button down, but this still takes several iterations to get it to close all the way. Any ideas? All mountings are tight - the clutching happens even when the garage door is unattached to the opener (no load, still fails on way down). Open works fine...
Sorry I’m really not sure.
I have a virtually identical oven but the lower element is covered. Both elements aren’t working so no heat at all yet everything else involving the control board is working fine (oven light, clicking sound calling for heat, clock, lower oven of my double oven). Is it reasonably possible both elements in the upper oven stopped working at same time or is it more likely something else is wrong such as the control board or a temp sensor?
I’m betting it’s something else but I really don’t know.
@@TightWadDIYok thank you for the quick reply
Thank you!!! You saved us so much!
Glad I could help!
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Why didnt you clean the pipes before putting them back. That's disgusting 🤮
I did…
