Hi Brother. I tried to replace two panel lights, which use the same on / off switch. What happens is only the ones close to the on/ off switch turn off when the switch is in off position. Can you tell me what was wrong?
It’s really hard to say without looking at it. My first thought would be a loose wire. The junction boxes on these can be pretty tight. So maybe something came loose when closing the box. Could be a bad panel, but I’ve actually never wired one up that didn’t work.
They are in the video description. But depending on the device they can be kind of hidden. I’ll copy them down here 😊 Link for LED color changing pool Light bulb: amzn.to/42sx8o2 Link for Pool Light Gaskets: amzn.to/3MeH3bk
Lock was installed Upside Down, In US, We Have Pins at Top, Some Other Countries, Have Pins at the Bottom, Better at the Top, So if a Spring Fails, pin can drop to Shear Line.
Yeah. I agree. Typically the pins are on the top. I would have installed this the other way if I had installed it. Unless this brand can’t flip around for some reason. I think some only go through the bolt piece one way and then the pins end up on whatever side that happens to be depending on which side of the door the handle is on.
Thank you! I'm a 71 year old woman and I just followed your instructions and replaced an old leaky faucet with the one you used in this demo. It was hard to get the old one off and I had to cut a water line and scrape out the hole to make it big enough for the new faucet, but I did it. My brother in law is a plumber and he stopped by after I finished to check it out - and he gave me a thumbs up. You really helped me out here. Thank you. And by the way, that is a REALLY nice faucet - well worth the money.
Nice work! I love hearing the success stories. Yeah, often times the hardest part is removing the old one. They can be pretty stuck on there. These faucets are great. It should last you a very long time. Well done 👍🏻
Why wouldn’t it be ok? It can support a side by side driving down it, I think it can support two adults in chairs. Thanks for the confirmation that this would work!
Yeah. That was my thought too. I’ve seen some people say it’s could damage something. So I mentioned it in the video to try to head off any comments. lol. I think it works great. And it is very stable.
The power line coming into the junction box should have a ground wire in it. There should be a black (hot), white (neutral) and an uninsulated (ground). often times the ground is screwed to the back of the junction box if it’s a metal box. That would ground the whole fixture. If it’s a plastic box, then the ground should connect to either the ground wire of the fixture (if there is one) or to a metal screw or something metal about the fixture.
I believe the code here states that outlets near water sources need GFCI outlets, however the washing machine is an exception. I’m not really sure why. Either the washing machine doesn’t count as a water source, or since it’s behind the machine they don’t expect people to be using wet hands to plug things in it.
@@RoscoReviews which NEC year are you on? NEC 210.8(A)(10) requires GFCI in laundry areas since the 2014 revision. I checked w the NFPA and they indicate only 1 state is so far behind that they’re not covered. The NFPA also states that that state is currently in process to update to the 2020 code. So all that in mind, I think you’re very likely incorrect here and need to change that outlet.
You are probably right. I don’t own the property that this was located in. I just do the work that I’m told to. The property is older than 2014 so as far as code goes, it is probably currently grandfathered in to whatever it was at the time it was built unless you do major renovations that would require it to be brought up to current.
@@RoscoReviews I’ve never met an inspector that gave a rats when your house was build. Not when it comes to something as easy as a gfci. All that said it’s not your job to fix if it’s not your property. 🤷♂️
Some videos make this look easy. Some make it look difficult with risk of causing damage. Why in 2024 can’t they design ovens whose glass doesn’t get dirty in between the panes!
Bro. Thank you. I'm dealing with vertical blind slats for the first time in my life and one of these fell off. I had no idea how the hanging mechanism works so I should be able to replace this easily myself.
I have a head rail that does not allow me to change the gear. The manufacturer says there is no way to replace the gear in the misaligning vertical clip and he says I have to replace the whole head rail. If I am going to replace the head rail, I now want to replace it with the one that allows to replace the gear. Can you share the name of the company that made the head rail in your video that allows gear to be replaced in the vertical clip?
Hopefully you can help me with my problem. When I turn the rod to open the blinds they only turn a little then the rod has no traction to keep turning the blinds. Please tell I don't have to replace the whole thing.
If the rod keeps spinning and the slats don’t turn, then it sounds like the issue is in the gear box that the rod connects to. It’s probably fixable, but it’s tough to say exactly what is wrong without looking at it.
Just had a plumber quote me $500 to change one valve and 1000$ to replace both. And of course, even though only one valve was leaking, he tried to upsell me to replace both. I sent him packing. Now I think I can do this myself. Thanks. You are doing a great service to us single, female homeowners who get scammed all the time from predatory repair companies.
The freezer regularly defrosts itself and drains the water down a tube in the back wall. The tube can get frozen and clogged not allowing the water to drain properly. By leaving the fridge off for a day with the doors open it allows the tube to thaw out so it can drain water again.
HEY ROSCO, I bought the Spa light with this Remote. It will not change - so it appears the remote is not connecting. Any suggestions? the remote'a red led light flashes when pressing any button ( think this means the battery has power). I have placed the remote in the water with in a foot of the light but no luck.
I actually rarely use the remote. If it works the same way as the pool lights, you can switch between the colors by toggling it off and back on. Flipping the switch on and off a few times until you reach the desired color.
Or just take a pot of hot water, and pour it in in about 30 seconds (be sure to unplug first). Of course, none of these will fix the problem I had - which was a legitimate clog in the middle of the drain hose (no ice). After several hours trying to get everything from a Zip-It, a clothes hanger, and a wire fish tool into the stiff pipe, I finally took my extra long 36” pipe cleaner (from my homebrew kit), chucked it in my drill, and ran it through from both sides. The tube was so tight it literally bound several times and let the drill twist the cleaner till it snapped, but I was finally able to get it to run smoothly enough to get the drain clear!! I had to toss the pipe cleaner and get a new one for my home brewing stuff, but worth it to not have puddles on the floor all the time :) Just leaving this here for anyone who is having the same problem I had - I hope it’s just ice for all of you, though, as that was a pain in the a$$!
yeah, that is a chore. I have only had one get clogged once that wasn't just ice. Somehow someone got a piece of corn in there. I don't even know how they did that. lol I used a Co2 cartridge air gun thing that I use to clear out air conditioner condensation lines. and it shot the clog out.
Just did that a couple of weeks ago! The hardest part was deciding the style - the one you used with the second basket, or the one with just the simple large nut. I did the large nut. It was cheaper and I didn't see any advantage to that big basket hiding leaks like the previous one. (hidden leak probably from the original install, sometimes water in the sink cabinet, then one day the second basket fell apart - all rusted out.)
Interesting. I’ve used both, but I haven’t had an issue with one leaking into the cup part. I suppose that is something to consider. I have done a lot more of them with the large nut. The only problem with those is they can be a little bit tricky to tighten if you don’t have a spanner wrench.
Gotta do this with mine. I've seen some videos where people had to reverse the polarity of the wires just behind the plug. I'm wondering we dont have to with this? I've got the same setup on my 2018 forest river wildwood.
very helpful thank you, been needing to replace my cover for years and couldnt afford to spend 1500+$ on one. Will be going with a blue wave mesh cover for sure.
It’s tough to say without looking at it. I would probably hold it underwater and turn it all different directions and see if you can see where an air bubble comes out. If you have put a new gasket on the lens and it is still filling with water, it may be leaking somewhere else.
@@RoscoReviews tried pretty much everything at this point except replacing entire assembly;( which will be my next step. Yeah you can't see any bubbles it is super weak leak takes months to see some water buildup inside
The handle locks, then the side that comes off is probably the inside hat you can’t get too. You can sometimes jimmy the door with a card like an old credit card and push the latch enough to open the door.
@@RoscoReviews I did end up using plumbers grease this time but I think what helped most was u explaining lining up the writing on the bulb and ring….made it easier to put clamp ring on….i dunked it and it’s water tight, my light is lower than yours so i have a 25lb weight to tie off to my belt and goggles….so now for the hard part that last screw
You can speed up the process by removing the back panel in the freezer and hitting the drain with a hairdryer. Then you are only without a freezer for about 30 minutes. But it’s a bit more work.
the remote and the opener need to be the same brand. I think some brands may work with each other, but I know if you try to use Genie remotes with a liftmaster opener they won't work.
Interesting, I have never noticed mine making any noise. I'm sorry, I don't think I can help without looking at it. I would think either something is restricting the flow, or maybe its getting air in ti somewhere.
It didn’t look like the washer drain tube went in the recessed valve box. Can I adapt my hot and cold washer valves which stick out into my laundry room wall 2.5 inches? Can I adapt them to fit inside a recessed box that is level with the wall, even though the washer drain pipe is not on that same wall? The idea being that I need the extra 2.5 inches of wall space.
It may be tough to see in the video, but the drain tube for this washer is in the recessed box with the valves. It hard to answer how to adapt your setup without looking at it, but if you have a recessed box and the valves still stick out a couple of inches, I would think you could change that. However it may mean cutting into the wall to change how the pipe comes into the box.
It’s tough to say without looking at it. I do know that brand matters. For instance, if you have a genie motor and a Liftmaster remote, I don’t think they will pair.
Unfortunately, if the screw is rusted, stuck, or stripped out where you cant remove it. If it were me, the next step would be to drill it out. or at least drill off the head of the screw so you can get the light out. then you might be able to get ahold of what's left with some vice grips. The downside is, in order to drill it, you would have to drain the pool down far enough to get a drill to it.
