breckwel pellet stoves won't run on thermostat
Comments (2)I would do some research on here or the company website because I think the jumper needs to be removed if I remember what I read from someone else here. Just thinking about it the jumper would come out and the T-stat is a two wire I believe and when heat is called for it completes the circuit where the jumper was previously. Don't quote me but I think the t-stat is wall art with the jumper installed....See MoreA/C won't turn off with thermostat temp adjustment - Goodman
Comments (5)I never shuts down with temp setting at all ( both fan and outdoor unit) . " It never shuts off or indoor blower stops with outdoor unit still running, then you do need a new stat." One person on another forum suggested disconnecting the green thermostat wire . He told me that the control board was bad if it still ran . I tried that and it did still run. A thermostat is inexpensive and easy to get but I would like get it right the first time . Could ou please expand on this some more . Thanks...See MoreGFCI outlet won't work
Comments (11)"But I do have in my own house some circuits with multiple GCFI receptacles on that one circuit. In those instances, the GFCI is not connected for feed-thru, but protects only the receptacles in that particular unit, the others are connected the same way. Tripping of one unit affects no others." This type if installation has some real advantages. When something does trip the GFCI it is the one you just plugged into, and it is right there. No hunting for the GFCI. In my workshop I have a number of quad outlets each on a separate 20 A circuit. Each quad is a GFCI and a regular receptacle. The regular receptacle is on the load side of the GFCI right beside it. GFCI devices originally were breakers only, then receptacle. They were so expensive initially (around $35 each) that the first few code revisions allowed a single GFCI proptected circuit to cover bathroom receptacles, outside receptacles, and even unfinished basement receptacles. The dedicated 20 A bathroom circuits came latter. In many cases installations that complied with code initially remain grandfathered. Some exceptions have been made for bathroom GFCI devices and kitchen counter spaces in many local codes. The use of GFCI devices in these spaces is really worth the protection. One of the biggest problems with the HI community is a lack of knowledge about plumbing and electrical codes changes and when they occurred. Even the RE column in the Washington Post (writer recently died) was uninformed about GFCI circuits and their operation. An HI squawked an older house kitchen counter outlet for not having a ground. The seller had GFCIs installed in a 2 wire circuit with the required stickers. The purchaser complained the job was 'not to code' since no ground was present. The advice columnist agreed. It is fully code compliant to install GFCI receptacles on 2 wire circuits....See MoreHeater won’t work, but fan won’t shut off, why?
