Well made video, you made it look easy, the way it should always be. Unfortunately too many engineers are not very competent and their designs show it.
I left water inside my steam shot for 3 hours I had to stop cleaning abruptly I came back plugged it in into power and it makes a crackling popping sound as if the water if overheating in there what should I do
Thank you for watching the video and for your inquiry. When the water is depleted from the Steam Shot, it will stop releasing steam. One thing to keep in mind is you always want to let the machine cool off for a few minutes before you refill it with water because it will be very hot inside there and you could burn your hand if you're not careful. Again, Thank you for watching the video.
those blue tabs should be removed before inserting the supply line tube into the filter. Once the tube is pushed into place then slide the blue tabs back into place to help lock the supply line into the filter.
Hi, I just saw your video. I am wracking my brain, trying to figure out what to do. My fridge broke along with my water filter. I bought a new fridge but the new one does not dispense water. Is there a way I can use the wall water valve and somehow get clean drinking water? Please help this lady in dispense 😂 Thank you
An electrician told me we needed new wiring to replace a mercury thermostat to a new smart one ? But I don’t see u needed new wiring ? Only reason I need help is because my wires aren’t labeled 😢
The only reason an electrician would tell you that is to gain your business. You definitely don't need new wiring. As far as the wires not being labeled, you can lebel them yourself. When you get the old thermostat off the wall, before you disconnect the wires, notice where they are connected on the back. The connections will be labeled, and that is what you want to label the wires as. I hope that answered your question. Thank you for watching the video and for your inquiry.
I don’t understand why you didn’t place the metal inserts into each side when you installed it on the actual refrigerator waterlines. You did it during the example, but when you went to go install it on the fridge, I didn’t even see them. Please help me to understand what I missing here. I’m going to attempt to do this on my fridge because I had a delivery today for a new fridge and they could not install it because there is no shut off valve. I definitely cannot afford to have a plumber open up my wall so I thought this would be an alternative.
Hi Laura, thank you for watching the video and for your inquiry. The main function of the metal inserts is to add stability to the plastic water line, so when you tighten the fittings they will have something to grab onto and not pinch the line. The reason I didn't use them on the actual water lines is because they were made of a much sturdier material, thus the inserts weren't needed. Those inserts will be used if your water line is made of the very thin plastic like my example line was. When you get behind your refrigerator, look at the water lines and see if they are made of sturdy hard plastic or the flimsy clear plastic. If they are made of the flimsy kind ,then you will need the metal inserts. Also, if your water line is made of copper, then you won't need the inserts for that either. I hope that answered your question. Thank you so much. Bill
Total life saver!! Thank you! Also shout out to a mystery Sears fix-it woman (Angela I think?) who told me to buy this exact valve and I didn’t write it down and this guy saved me! I HATE going into Home Depot (I don’t think anyone actually works there) so after buying the wrong thing 3 times, I saw this video, ordered this, did curbside pickup, and installed it in 5 minutes. THANK YOU!
Hey Greg!! Thank you so much for watching the video and for your amazing story! I'm so glad I was able to help you get the right valve and get it installed.
This may seem like a stupid question, but I'm genuinely curious: Do you have to turn the breaker off? I understand there's a risk of shock to user but is there a risk of shorting out the system?
Looks exactly what I have and exactly what I need to do for exactly the same purpose. Home Depot requires the home owners to have a shut off valve available in the vicinity of where we need the new refrigerator be installed. THANK you Bill.
How do I know if the valve is on or off? We just had a new line installed for our refrigerator (also new) and the water line to the fridge isn't getting any water. Trying to avoid another costly plumber bill.
My warer line is running from my crawl space. Rhe shut ofd valve is in the nasty crawlspace. I know, who would put a shut off valve in the crawl space? I could not close the valve completely, so water is still coming out of the hose. I hooked the hose back up to the refrigerator, so it wouldnt keep leaking from the hose. My objective is to swap refrigerator and no need to use the water hose at this time. What do you suggest?
I watched this video just to find out how to turn that top piece from the on to off position, and I still don't know! I have this exact fitting already on my water line. When I turn that top little bar, it just spins endlessly. The end of your video did not show how to turn it between off and on. Please advise! My new fridge is being delivered in the next few hours!
I'm in the same boat. I don't know which way to turn that top piece for on or off and in my case, that piece has been installed for decades and is not easily turning in either direction and I'm afraid to force it in the wrong direction. Edit: Went to Home Depot website, looked up the valve and looked through the questions. Someone provided useful instructions: LOOKING DOWN AT THE STEM/HANDLE FROM THE TOP OF THE VALVE,, TO TURN THE FLOW OFF, TURN THE HANDLE 'CLOCKWISE'. TO TURN THE FLOW ON...TURN THE HANDLE 'COUNTER-CLOCKWISE'
@@autumnstarrs Mine has never turned, mind you, I bought a 30yr old house and that was 20yrs ago and I'm pretty sure that install has been there 50+yrs so I think it might be rusted shut. Don't know, just afraid to mess with it and it breaks/bursts and then I'm screwed by needing to do an emergency plumber call. It's also installed in a hard to access location.
My husband shut off the valve instead of making it run faster🤦♀️now we both are trying our best to fix it but I had to come to your video..😫 we are trying both ways but water is gone🤯🤯
Thank You So Much ❣️ 👀 🙂 ( uhm 🤭 I think it is going to cost hundreds of dollars for a plumber to replace a corroded “ on & off “ valve water valve from the wall behind the refrigerator freezer , right ? ? 😯 👀 😔 ☹️ )
That is not where that vacuum lines goes over cylinder 3 it accually goes to the back of the engine to feed back pressure back into the intake and that could be creating a problem with misfires
Hey Normanhall8986, I actually changed all the spark plugs before I filmed the video. However, if coil pack hadn't of worked then that would have been my next move. I appreciate you watching the video and for your inquiry.
My new thermostat says "you must install a jumper wire between R and U1 if the stage of heating or cooling is powered by a system transformer". I don't know if I should do that or not
Hi @tardis4125, I never heard of a jumper wire associated with U1. You will definitely need to find out what the U1 wire was providing power to. I would definitely do some research on that. Sorry I don't have a definite answer for you.
Me too! I just rediscovered mine as I'm moving out of my apartment 😂 I have to be out tomorrow, I'd say I found this just in time in the back of That Closet LOL
Local company refused to install our new fridge today since we didn’t have one of these. Good to know it’s a simple DIY. Hopefully I can pick one up tonight, install it, so these guys can come deliver tomorrow.
This was awsome. I did all that, and then it didnt work. I had multiple random misfires, that also came with white smoke from the exhaust on the first 30 seconds to 2 minutes of driving.
Bill thanks a million for what u do . Please do one on how to attach the copper line of the fridge to the main water line,also how to put a new valve on the copper line so it can be reattach to the fridge. The water wouldn't stop running when I took the old fridge out so I took the line from the main water line,and the plummer sealed up the little hole. Thanks a million.
Hey Polaris, Thank you for watching the video and for your inquiry. Yes you are correct! Just switch the button depending on which unit you are using. Again, Thank you! Bill
