Water heater runs out of hot water fast. Heating element replacement.
If your electric water heater is running out of hot water quickly when taking a shower, the bottom heating element usually goes bad and needs to be replaced. It's a cheap repair for most DIYers. You'll need a 1-1/2 in socket size for replacement, and a correct wattage heating element.

      Bleeding with the engine off is not a problem. But if you bled it too much, you'll need to refill it again. Watch the next video on "Static Pressure" to find out how much refrigerant you have left. czcams.com/video/7loH93-9MNQ/video.html

    It’s me again The icemaker did the same thing and I had to jump it with the paperclip. Do you think that’s the motor that needs to be replaced because the water comes out after I jump it or is that solenoid bad? I didn’t think I could get that Lucky.

    • @Your-Self
      @Your-Self Před 9 hodinami

      If the ice maker goes through the cycle after you jump it and it drops the ice, the motor should be good. If the water fills the ice maker at the end of the cycle, the water solenoid should be good. That leaves the thermostat inside the ice maker as a possible problem. What is the actual temperature around the ice maker? It could be too warm for the ice maker to harvest on its own.

I pulled up to work and was preparing to get out of my car when my doors wouldn’t open and my windows wouldn’t let down, the car was completely dead! Plus, it was 104 degrees out!!! Not to mention, my phone had just died! So, I’m in the car panicking trying to figure out what I could do to get out. I was sweating and overheated with a heart rate of probably 150 or more!!! I just knew I was about to die! Mind you’ll, I had dark tint on my windows to make matters worse… No one could see me as I’m yelling and banging on the window !!! Finally,I thought to grab my gun and was ready to shoot my window out… God, sent my husband as an angel! He came to surprise me with breakfast because I’m a diabetic and didn’t have time to eat. He didn’t realize I was in the car at firs but, he was curious enough to see me moving panicky throughout the car and came over immediately to help! He told me that there was a release leverage on near the floor to the left side!!!! Lord I never realized the release handle in the car!!!! Jesus!!! I fell out the car breathing like I ran a 100 mile marathon!!! I thanked God for the kindness act of my husband thinking of me and also for blessing him with paying attention for once!!!!😂😂😂❤

    • @Your-Self

      Possibly a broken low-voltage wire inside the wall. When you remove the thermostat, you should have a spare wire twisted behind it. You could try installing that wire instead of the red wire on terminal R. And install the same wire color on the main board on terminal R as well. If that doesn't work, you may need to feed a brand-new wire cable through the wall... not fun.

    Hey quick question, which one should I follow the static pressure or the gauge. I was charging my 2008 GL450 The gauge reading is in the yellow zone (no need of refrigerant) and yet when I tried to turn it off and let it cool down the static is way below the chart based on ambient temp and still blowing warm air when turn back on. Mercedes takes 42 Oz but I charged 4 cans of 12 Oz which is 48Oz so I overcharged. The Low Pressure pipe is even warm to the touch when it should be arctic cold. I guess I have to vacuum a bit and see if the A/C compressor kicks in? But which one should I follow the static reading that says add more? Or the gauge even in green zone (filled) is not blowing cold air. 🤦‍♂

    • @Your-Self
      @Your-Self Před 13 dny

      Not sure what's going on there. You may need a manifold gauge to see the pressure in both the Low and the High sides. If you got a leak, the ambient air could've been sucked inside the system. And that will distort the pressure reading.
