Possible cause(s) of siphoning?
Comments (33)Glad morz8 could help, I'm just not that experienced, have only PCd a few times. One thing Dave and others here have told people to do was to run a few test batches with colored water to check your stove's settings and see how to adjust to avoid siphoning. I did that, but still had some siphoning with the tomato sauce. I think the Presto person was wrong to tell you to turn heat up and down, Dave told me to just keep it steady or adjust in TINY increments. With the weight set you shouldn't have to worry about adjusting, just try to get it venting, put the weight on, and leave it alone - it's not like a dial gauge where you have to watch and make sure it doesn't go over so it's not overprocessed. If you're doing something like fish that takes a really long time the recipe says to start with more water so the canner doesn't run dry. Buy new lids and use those older ones for something like jam or jelly. "well, i've had my first messy case of PC siphoning with my 4th, and thickest, load of NCHFP's spaghetti sauce in my new presto . every qt. siphoned, but just one failed to seal. i've had 1 or more seal failures in the other 3 loads, too." I don't know, maybe siphoning is more a problem with thicker/denser foods? I think it is with starchier foods. Did you have siphoning with the thinner batches, or just an occasional seal failure (which could be the lids)? Or maybe you just adjusted the burner more on this batch after talking to the Presot rep? Store the jars without the rings someplace where you can see them (and some place easy to clean if one does start to ferment or something), I don't think you need to check daily, but occasionally (maybe daily at first). I really don't know when you can stop checking, but since you want to really eat it within a year for best quality, and mine kept a year even with siphoning, I'd say just check it often this winter, maybe again when spring/summer come around if your storage area might start to warm up. I'd wash the gasket if I had siphoning - I didn't after just running test batches of water. Sorry I can't be more help - I'm still learning myself.

Comments (1)Yes, more water on warmer days unless the soil mix is not draining properly? Do you think you might of put too much organic stuff in your soil? Too, some of those 'organic fertilizers' can carry salts, so can your tap water which is not something any of mine were ever happy with...How often has it rained there?...See Morewhat could have caused this
Comments (40)I wish I knew what caused the incident. no one here has offered an opinion... unless I missed it. the socket I put in seems far superior than the one I removed. It seems very much water tight and it's in a location where weather wont typically hit it. my suspicions are if there is a problem it wasn't related to water. perhaps a wire came loose over time... perhaps when we had the incident with the power company and the power was fluctuating .,perhaps the LED bulb ...I don't know. I'm going to try to go tomorrow at lunch to look at better quality carriage lights at the supply store to see how if at all they are sealed better than what I have....See MoreWhat could be causing my dryer to continually burn out?
Comments (9)Excellent example of how easily kinks can be overlooked dadoes. Also good information when you point out duct can extend far beyond where flex ends at wall. The clog may very well be inside wall where duct take's a turn right,left,down or up. cat_ky , I only addressed whole house system because "someone" Said. "Since this happens repeatedly, with different dryers, it has to be something with the house, and that something has the potential to be a fire hazard. Please get a licensed electrician into your house asap, to check things out. My whole house surge protector is outside and connected somewhere by the meter, it doesnt interfere with my indoor electric. Had the same thing at the last house, where it was outside. Both were put in by the electric company, themselves. Another thought is, are you using the same cord, from dryer to dryer? It could be the dryer cord itself, if you have been doing that. Either way, something is shorting out and causing the dryer to go out, and could be a fire hazard" I believe it's too early to hire an electrician out of fear the place might catch fire. If there's reason to panic about possible fire,it is 100 times more likly due to lint than an electrical mal-function. It has been my observation most people coming here with questions do so to avoid spending unneccessary money on pros if they can fix it themselves. Rarly is a problem more suited for diy than this one. It's only a matter of making sure a pipe isn't clogged with lint (something I've seen more times than I can recall) but over a period of decades I've never once saw a heating element burn out due to over/under current EXCEPT in the event of lightning strike that burned out lights,appliances and electronic equipment at same time. Based on what personal experience or ohm's law, lead;s you to believe op can't fix this,should throw in the towel and call an electrician? If you are going to waffle then try and invalidate me you at least owe an explaination of why....See MoreDavidR
