I was just informed that the transformer supplies 24VAC, not DC. Yikes!

We have a 1999 Carrier 58 MVP 100.

About 2 months ago, the furnace in our rental house stopped working rather suddenly. A tech from a local firm came out for a diagnostic call and said he found...

It seems now that I have finally been able to confirm that my problem is virtually identical to that shown in this thread. In my case, I seem to have troubles with only a single wire - the orange one...

It is now perhaps a month since I started this thread. Until today, I have generally been able to keep things running fine by turning off power for 5 minutes when the fridge acted-up. As of now,...

A little more info, perhaps... It has been a couple days since I have last removed/restored power in an attempt to reset the fridge. So far, no return of the all-lights-on phenomenon. However, my...

Well, it is about 24 hours after I did this reset and the darn thing has done it again. This time, when I opened the door, the digital thermometer was reading about 45 degrees which is way too warm...

Thanks, I too prefer the older, simpler stuff. We moved about 5 years ago and our new house has all new stuff. Without exception, the appliances we had in our old place (which we now rent out) were...

Hi and thanks for the reply. After posting yesterday, the lights had not changed and I was starting to get concerned that something might go wrong and spoil a bunch of food. So I put a digital...

In the past week, I have seen this happen three times and then go away. I am getting concerned. Here is what happens: open the left door and close it again, the panel lights show 88/-88/snowflake and...

I have a Kenmore Elite Trio model 795.75543401. We are starting to have trouble with a build up of frozen water in the ice maker. No, not in the ice trays like it should be but outside of that -...

Thanks again for your response and thanks to dmrlook too.

I finally reached the Sears water softener department and they confirm what you have said and what is clearly said in the install manual....

Thanks. I agree with your assessments. However, there is no floor drain anywhere. I think this the reason for the strange setup. Whoever did the install (it turns out to have been a Sears...

Thanks for the response. What can I do about this?

Hello. I purchased a new-ish home (1 year after it was built) that has a model 625.388170 (or maybe 625.388180 - same manual for both) H2O softener. Until today, I had every reason to believe that...

By the way, is it possible (or preferable) to use multiple 20x20x1 inch filters stacked up instead of the single wider filter? Or would this likely reduce airflow too much? Thanks.

Hello. I have a Honeywell F50F electronic air cleaner on my HVAC system. It came in a house I purchased. I am not overwhelmed with how well it works and it is something of a pain to wash it - it...

Just a final update. Finally had a repairman come out. He rapidly discovered that the heating element was bad and replaced it. I always thought that was for drying the dishes. What a surprise!...

Actually it is an all-electronic control system. There are only touch-buttons (like on a microwave) and there is no dial at all. I recently looked at the parts list for this unit and did not see any...

I have had (and been happy with) our KitchenAid KUDI01L dishwasher for several years. Recently we moved and have kept the old house for a rental. Renters now report that the dishwasher wash cycle...

Thanks for all the help. I am thinking just as you are. At least I am not worried that things are really awry now. But I am sure I will need professional help to check out the top two suspects. I am...

Thanks once again for your response. I found some info on the internet here Heating, Air Conditioning, Fridge, HVAC: Heat pump thermostat control, thermostat control, heater elements
And here...

Thanks for all your help. I will definitely call in a specialist. I have turned off the emergency heat mode. Was that the correct thing to do? Happy Holidays to you.

Thanks for the idea. I have done that and:

(a) I am feeling hot air come out of the vents

(b) The aux heat indicator is visible on the thermostat

So, what does this tell you?

That is my thinking too. Luckily I still have the heat pump working to provide some heat.

Can you tell me what defrosting is going on? I am pretty new to this heat pump thing and would really...

Hello. I have a relatively new house (2.5 years) that has an American Standard Heat Pump (2a6b3018-060a1000a). It also has some form of American Standard aux heater (bayhtr?? ) in the air handler....
