    I've seen where the 7/8" plastic nut on a supply line is cracked at the base. People tend to over tighten those. It doesn't take much.
    I hand tighten and give it a 1/2 to 3/4 with channel locks.
    Watching your videos make me miss apartment maintenance. To me, its satisfying when you come in on a Monday to a stack of work orders, then knock em all out by quitting time. Then I remember the being on call thing....barf! LOL!

    • @LexVance
      @LexVance  Před 5 lety +1

      👍😂👍 Yep. The on call deal is running a lot of good guys off. They want to see every ball game or ballet recital their kid has. You cant go back & re-live it once it's gone. Thank you so much for watching Texas!

I really hope I never have to go through that again in my career. People get all passive aggressive afterwords and throw all these work orders at us they never called about all at the same time.

      No, I would need to take it apart and see what's going on. I've seen those thermostat disc burn up and cause breaker tripping. But, I would need to be there and split it open. If we can't figure it out, we just replace it. The parts are almost as must as a new microwave.
