I have a Trane TEM6AOC36H31SAA with a XL824 thermostat.

It's not working. The Nexia app says "not connected".

I switched the breaker at the panel and nothing. When I left it off for 5+ mins...

Bought 6 acres that I will be building a house on in the fall. I am not in the area currently. While building, I want to live in a old mobile home that has been on the property since the 80's.

I'm a do it yourself homeowner. I ran three separate low voltage lines to some uplights for my palms. Each line has 3 uplights. I have all of the lines returning to the outdoor GFCI on the house. The...

I had this idea that since I only needed a tubing cutter for 10 or so cuts on some 3/4" EMT (Electrical Metal Tubing) that I would get a used one on eBay. Besides, old tools are made better... right....

Do a search on Ebay, then "save" your search and they will notify you by email anytime anyone posts the item for sale.

Now... I wouldn't go that far!

But you are a Saint.

Yeah, Saint Harold. I can worship that!

Harold,
I can't thank you enough. You are right about everything. I had made a stupid assumption that no one would switch the outlet just 3 feet below the switch. When I rewired it, I hadn't pulled...

Yes, those two wires (the white painted black and the black you point to that I labeled "switch") are in the same romex line.

I am using a VAC/DC 110/220 tester that has a black and a red probe...

Here are pictures of my switch and outlet. I labeled the blacks as per previous direction from Harold to identify which romex went to switch, went to other outlets and which was hot. I have three...

Here is a photo from the book I referenced to do the wiring.

The book is called
Home Depot Wiring 1-2-3 Illustrated
(install, upgrade, repair and maintaing your home's electrical system).

The diagram I followed is on page 143. You can access to review...

I did the above wiring scenario and I got no power at the switch and the top outlet had no power.

I then changed the wiring to place the white wire from the switch line on one of the brass screws...

Thank you Mr. Stroud. Your directions worked perfectly. I have determined which of the 3 romex lines in the outlet box is the hot feed, which goes to the switch and which goes on to the subsequent...

If the power to the switch is coming from the outlet/receptacle box, will this test work? That is what I apparently have because there is only one romex in the switch box.

I mapped out the circuits for the whole house when I started the project. I know that everything in that room is on 14L (the left breaker on circuit 14). The switch and the receptacles work when that...

So what is the name of the tool I need to determine which romex line goes to the switch?

All three of the blacks are attached to a black pigtail that goes on a screw on one side and all the whites are attached to a white pigtail and attached to a screw on the other side (the side as the...

I've been in this house for 7 years and have done wiring before e.g. added fans, updated lights etc. I am replacing all the switches and receptacles right now.

There is a wall switch at the entry...

Use the shop vac from outside where the water comes out of the house. Then put some bleach in the drain at the inside unit pipe. Mine are PVC so it's easy to recognize them.

I wanted to give a follow up. I called some A/C guys. One thought it was the condenser fan overheating. But when they finally came out, it turned out to be the automatic shut off that is triggered...

Thanks to everyone for their responses. After reading them, I first rinsed the condenser coils from the inside out with a garden hose, but I honestly didn't see that they were very dirty.

I am in Florida with a 4 year old heat pump system. The Hunter programmable thermostat is set for 80 degrees 24/7. The air cycles on and off periodically as usual and the air temp coming through the...

If you press something inside the hole, the presets on the thermostat will be erased so you can start from scratch.

I have a 13 SEER RUUD heat pump 4 ton size in my Florida house. It it 4 years old with a programmable Hunter 43154 thermostat. The unit is coming on periodically and blowing cool air, but it turns...

I feel it's very important that the last name be considered primarily. You don't want to repeat the syllables. Hitchens has two syllables. So you want a name with one or three syllables. Hitch ens...

I have a covered outdoor lanai area that is 21 feet by 12 feet with a 8 foot ceiling. I have purchased two 52" fans for the area. I can't decide where to place the fans. I don't know whether to...
