Running wire to a shed. Buried approx. 200' of pipe from panel to box in shed. Do I still have to use underground wire or can I just use standard 10/3?

I'll have to get back to you on that. The work is at my nephews place. Can't get back there till Sun. You guys are talking way above my head, but I'm a fan of reading your posts back and forth.

OK thanks

Did not splice the ground. Spliced neutral wires together, which is essentially the same as tying the feed in to the connector in cut off box and then running the neutral out to the main lug panel...

Calling all electricians, here's what I've done. Installed main lug in detached garage. Ran 3 #3 wires and #6 ground. First went to 60 amp fusible cut off to protect panel components. Hots fit into...

Don't know if this is the case here. But a lot of newer fans now have globes that basiclly screw on. Sometimes they are snugged up so tight it can be tough to get them freed. Plus not sure if you...

I am working in a very old home (circa 1850)and am putting in a new gas water heater. A chimney looks like it was added when oil burning heat was added years ago. My question is, can I run the new...

Thanks for the responses. Been out of town, so just got your ideas. Will let him know, getiin tired of having to pull off job to pick him up!

Your gfci receptacle may be protected at the breaker box with a gfci c/b in the panel

My partner has a 02 Allero, don't know engine size, but when he gets to about a half a tank of gas, the car quits running. As long as he keeps tank full it's fine, but it's a pain having to gas up so...

Probably the pull chain unit. Fairly easy fix. Can pick one up pretty cheap at Lowe's or h.d. you can bypass the pull chain to test if that is the problem. Can gain access to unit by taking 3 small...

Need more info. Are the 3 wires coming from fan unit. What's in the ceiling box, blk,what,ground or blk,what,red,
Ground. Does it even have a ground. Somewhere in that fan there has to be a white...

Just to cover all the bases, if this was a new installation, make sure the wires were tied into the line side and not the load side. Though I'm not sure what happens if that's the case.

It should be OK, but proper way to do it (providing box is deep enough to accommodate everything,may need box extention) sounds like you have a line in and line out, so take the blacks and add 2...

I'm remoldeling a kitchen, and in a section there is a chase with clothes chute and 6" flue pipe. Chute will be removed, but, have to do something with flue pipe. Furnace was upgraded to energy eff....

Wrproop,thanks for the responses.
I do have 120 one both load legs. I'm going to take capacitor to get tested. Thanks again

Didn't bother checking at panel as I had 240 at the cut off switch next to outside unit, I have 120 volts on each leg of the contactor inside the unit.

When A/C comes on the evaporator blower comes on but neither the compressor or fan outside start. Got 120 at each leg on line side of contactor. Every 20 seconds or so the contactor buzzes for...

If there is no soffit above the cab, couldn't you run lamp cord up inside the cabs and wire an outlet and plug into that or even put an outlet inside the cab. Or could you run smurf (blue poly pipe)...

My father-in-law took his 97 chevy blazer to oil change place and now cannot turn key all the way back to the off and steering wheel lock position. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance, Denman

I have a marley 2500 series baseboard htr, 120 volts, do I wire it at the panel as I would any other 120 v circuit. Wired as directed with a single break thremostat at the unit, but has no directions...

While I don't repair furnaces,I do some repairs on the basic problems. The most common problem is the hot surface ignition As electricity passes though it, it will heat up and glow white hot, a...

Is it a gas pilot ignition or electronic ignition( how old is unit

I have a ge profile D/W, model gsd4230x66ww. It used to sometimes run complete cycle and others stop advancing during rinse cycle. Now will not complete cycle at all. Any thoughts? Thanks for any...

I'm about to attempt re-plumbing a well-x-trol wx202 pressure tank as the pipes are starting to leak slightly. The tank says its pressure should be the same as the cut in pressure. Am I right in...

Don't know as much as some others here, but I'd look at the pull chain switch. That's an easy fix , if that ends up being the problem.

Thanks for responding,
I went back over to bro's house. It is a Hunter not a harbor breeze. I called hunter and they sent me a new light housing with all the guts.
Everythongs OK. Thanks again for...

Is the way its wired and grounded a hazard? Thanks for well info, I'll check it out next time I'm in vicinity and get access.

I'll try to kep this as short as possible, though I want to give you as much info as I can. I'm looking at a property that's been re-wired and while it's a nice, clean job I'm curious about a couple...

Sorry it took so long to respond. No, I just put the fan where a light existed. They keep the light pull chain "on" constantly and change fan speed with its chain. Only other thing different is that...

Sorry about answering without clarifiying washer basin location. You know what they say about assuming.

Remove the GFCI, not necessary. The motor surge at start up will sometimes trip GFCI.

The heater should have a dedicated circuit @ 20 amps. Anything with heating elements draws a lot of amperage. Hair dryer is another big draw, but if you do what you suggested and separate the heater...

Put a hampton bay fan up for brother about a year ago . In the last month when the lights are turned on they strobe. Now, they won't come on at all. Any thoughts? Any help will be appreciated. D.

It would have served your purposes better had you run SER/4 wire to the barn. The aluminum wire should fit into your 100 amp breaker. Make sure you apply an anti oxidant coating in and around the...

Got motor to run at start up, though need to turn shaft to get it going(capacitor?). When I push button for high speed I have power to lead, but motor does not increase rpm's.

Impellor turns freely . Disconneted power at pull bar next to spa. Overload reset button? Not sure where I'd find that

Replaced the pump on the motor and reinstalled. Have power to hot tub but motor will do nothing, any thoughts? Thanks

Thanks for the quick response hvac, I should have noted that I changed the float switch(being cheapest possible fix). Just seemed odd to me that machine would operate as if it had water at the time...

I have a maytag dishwasher about 10 years old, when I turn cycle on the machine starts running instead of filling up first, any thoughts? Thanks

How can I replace newer windows that have the flange around the outside of window and attached to house under the siding?

Blower on 98 astro would work sometimes on high speed only and other times, at all speeds but high. Now does not work at all. Pulled the fan and tested it and it runs fine,
Fuse fine also. Any...

If you only have 3 wires at the switch and there all connected to switch, unfortunately
You won't be able to wire in a receptacle as it needs a neutral wire to operate. The device that the switch...

Your amperage should be fine. But in order to run fan and light separately you'll need a third wire going from switch location to fan location: white being the neutral to both devices, and other 2...

In a lot of communities if you involve the power company, you'll have to get a permit before they'll pull the meter, then you've opened a can of worms whenever you involve city or county inspectors...

After sending my reply, I realize I should point out when I say to go to separate circuit breakers, they must also be on separate phases (or hot bars). If it's a newer panel one breaker above the...

If the device you intend to use the plug for requires 220/240 volts and existing receptacle
Is meant for 110/120, the device will run at half capacity and most likely ruin it. If that's the case,...

The drive belt on my jd 14sb mower broke and from what I've read in other threads, it seems I need to pull the engine to replace belt. If so, any (or all) "how to" help and pitfalls to look out for...
