I've got a Kenmore 80 Series electric clothes dryer, whose drum stopped
turning last night.  The heat comes on, and it sounds like the motor is
running, but there's no tumbling.  I could probably switch out a simple
part or two, if that's what wrong, but I don't know what to look ...

It seems that my current maytag washer broke the clutch, that's very
hard to get to. The motor and the tub pulley spin, but the tub does
not engage. There were also some bad noises coming from there, as
though a piece of metal was caught between some gears. These noises

I'm remodeling my bathroom, and about to complete the rough in of my
shower/tub plumbing. I'm installing a Delta unversal valve. The model
number is R10000. My question is in regards to the male threads, of
which there are four, up/down/left/right. All of the litreature that I

About two years ago, I had my 2nd story bathroom remodeled.  For months, it
was completely fine, but recently, there's a bad smell from the bathroom
sink.    It drains well .. But to get rid of the smell, I did try a draino
type liquid.   Didn't fix the problem.   This has been ...

I have matching toekick for my new kitchen cabinets (Kraftmaid, if that
makes a difference). Basically, it's a thin (less than 1/4") strip of
MDF with finish on the front side. What is the proper way to install
it? Glue? Nails? Something else?

I have cleaned the Carb.  Motor runs, however skips a little.  After
running under load for about 15 min.  It shuts off.  I can take it out
of gear and it will pick up again.  This happens under load and
frequently.  Thanks

Just click "back" and then chose a aircraft.

I have a 7 year old whirlpool dryer with electronic sensor dry (2
contacts inside drum).  The dryer occasionally (once in every 5-6
cycles) stops.  It nearly always stops within the first 10 minutes.  It
is tough to diagnose due to the occasional nature of the stops.  Here

I have a pretty troublesome Maytag clothes washer (highly NOT
recommended).
Vertical (opening on top).
This time the following is happening:

6 year old Kitchen Aid top loader washer with small leak.  After propping up
on some 2x4 and running, can see that leak appears to be coming from near
right rear corner.  What is the best way to proceed with a self diagnosis
and repair?

I want to put a utility sink in my garage. The main reason is to have
softwater hot & cold for car washing etc. I plan on tapping into bathroom
plumbing in the basement and run pipes up and through the firewall just
above the foundation wall into the garage.  I have easy access ...

Okay, here you go:
The water coming out of my kitchen faucet blasts out like a fire hose.
No other faucet in the house seems to have this problem. Today, I had a
plumber over for a different problem, and asked him to render an

On an impulse (I know) I bought a really clean looking hot tub (1998 6
person lounge Saratoga Spa - Gideon) for $250 without actually seeing
if it worked. It looked great. The filters were pretty clean. The water
coming out of the tubing was clear. I was TOLD it worked fine except

Good evening,
On this engine, the carb (bowl type, no speed or mixture adjustments)
is allowing gasoline to pass through and fill up the crankcase and air
cleaner housing.
