Thermal Fuse and Whirlpool Dryers Repair or Toss
Comments (3)Thanks When he replaced the thermal fuse 6 months ago he also replaced part of the hose, said the new one was better than what we had and we removed the basket on the outside to let more air in. The bend is a soft one, no hard angles. Nothing is being crushed. The main problem seems to be that the hole in the wall for the vent was too low but since we have an old brick house, we do not want to drill another one. As for the temp control, we got an estimate on the part with our prior dryer, something having to do with temp regulation but it would have been about 280 a few years ago to replace the part, just for the part. The fuses then were around 7. Now for this one they are 17 with tax. This is for the part. DH used to replace the fuses and it was simple but it got tedious after a while. Plus the old dryer would break just as I needed something dried and DH was not home. I have a houseful of people so not sure if that makes a difference. I am tempted to get a speed queen or perhaps look into what they have in laundromats. Perhaps just get something that is not a whirlpool. Our old Kenmore/Whirlpool Washer had a plastic part on the bottom where the wash basket sat. It would break once a year. It was simply a design defect. I bought a TL without an agitator from another brand, problem solved! Although I am sure there will be new problems. Maybe the Whirlpool thermal regulator does not work well with my house?!...See MoreHow much do electricians charge to install chandeliers/fans?
Comments (18)I've always installed light fixtures - chandeliers, ceiling fans, outdoor wall sconces, etc myself. I have also designed these types of fixtures, and I wrote installation instructions for all of them. In addition to that, my brother studied electrical engineering for four years before he changed his major in college, and so he is good at helping me. If you have installation instructions, you should be able to do it yourself, although in my instructions, I always say that it should be done by a licensed electrician, but that was just for liability purposes. If you do not want to do it yourself, an experienced handyman should be able to do it, but I would only hire one that I already had already had experience with. I cannot help you with pricing, however, but if you hire someone that you have worked with before, you should get a reasonable bid....See MoreSOS! Plumbing Budget - typical $$ allotment for fixtures and install?
Comments (29)11k for 3.5 bath and kitchen is very low for a high end home. I would suggest going to a Kitchen and Bath store and make preliminary selection of the all the fixtures. you can do it at build.com too, but it is better to see things in person, and try out few things. Doing the selection now does not mean you will cannot change later, all it means that, you now have a realistic idea of how much things cost and if you change something later it can be within similar price range. Doing just allowance without selecting anything is not very realistic (if you have a fixed budget). We met with all the vendors (plumbing, cabinet, lighting) and selected everything prior to our final bid, so the quote our GC used was "actual quote" not just an estimate. We did change few things but it was within budget....See MoreSOS! Plumbing Budget - typical $$ allotment for fixtures and install?
Comments (13)Not to be too critical, but there is a shared responsibility here, and it sounds a bit like you assumed he understood your thinking completely. Instead of deciding he has dropped the ball, it's time to have a discussion with him about his assumptions and your assumptions, and find out if there is a huge difference between what he was planning to install and what you think should be installed. The problem with plumbing fixtures is that the sky is the limit, but there is not always an exact correlation between what you spend and what you get. I recognize this is new to you, but you need to do some additional self-education about quality and price. When I was looking for simple, chrome towel hooks for my bathroom, I found some nice ones for $380, but I settled on ones that were the same finish and the same look for under $10 each. I have a friend with a lot of money who spent $10,000 on one track lighting fixture because he doesn't know much about what goes into fixtures and assumes that something that costs a lot is always far superior. It's a nice lighting fixture, but I can show you one for $300 that is just as good quality-wise, and you would have a hard time telling me which one was the expensive one. All this is to say that maybe your contractor is able to do a good job of keeping costs under control and delivering adequate quality. But you won't know unless you have a frank discussion with him....See Morebillscha1
