Buck IN-SINK-ERATOR HOT ONLY WATER DISPENSER - H-770 - Chrome/Black Questions & Answers
My Insinkerator instant hot water heater sputters when the water is turned on
I found the cause of the sputtering problem for my insinkerator hot water dispenser! If you take the unit apart (there are instructions and videos online, but it's not hard), you find a small plastic tank at the top of the hot water tank. The tub connected to this is where air enters the system, via the small air hole under the the faucet (at least on my setup). This plastic tank has a one way valve at the bottom. I could see that this whole valve area had lots of black stuff (probably black algae) and guessed that it was blocking air from entering the system. If air can't get in, then it will enter from the main faucet nozzle, which will cause sputtering. I cleaned out the black algae as well as hard water deposits by running vinegar through the plastic tank using a small fountain pump, in a closed loop. Left it that way for an hour or so, then banged it around until I could get all of the algae and deposits out. I then put it back together and it doesn't sputter now! (Well, maybe it'll sputter some if you use a lot of hot water very quickly, so maybe the valve isn't completely clear, but it's definitely much better and doesn't sputter most of the time!)
(So, the TLDR is: the plastic tank inside can get clogged with algae and/or water deposits. Clean those out with vinegar and it goes back to working!)

Possini 52" Encore Hugger Ceiling Fan, YG217LED-LP-1L, caused arc fault and popped breaker switch. No loose wires or bad connections. Wiring and circuit work. What's the cause and can I repair it?
Since you've already checked the wiring and circuit and found no issues, it's possible that the problem lies with the fan's motor or capacitor. Unfortunately, repairing these components can be difficult and may require the assistance of a professional electrician or repair technician. I do understand this is a costly fan.
If you're comfortable working with electrical components and would like to attempt a repair yourself, you can try replacing the motor or capacitor. However, I would strongly recommend that you exercise caution. To contact the manufacturer of your Possini 52" Encore Hugger Ceiling Fan, YG217LED-LP-1L, you can try the following options:
