Mine alway,s freeze up and well stop working

Take it to a repairs shop,if you have to ask
& have no auto experience

Sounds like the thermal couple may be shot I thought that was the problem with mine but it needed air to supply the burner I took the cheap steps first like working on a motorcycle or car I know that you can buy the whole burner with the thermal couple assembly, I got mine from a plumbing company it was used but in better shape than mine if its not very old it can be fixed I KNOW mine is working just fine!! Beware of the plumbing companies the will give up and try to sell you a new one to skip the grunt work really isn't as hard as it may seem!! What have you to lose???

You turn the adjuster by hand or with pliers

Then slide the drum on & off a few times, until
the shoes are just touching & barely making a noise

Each side will turn opposite,you don't need to know the
direction,just adjust & try the drum on

You either have to have the drums machined or use a dremel
tool to grind off the step, or what I have told you & done for 48
years won't work

Hey Lyn. Regular maintenance is a scheduled procedure recommended by the manufacturer. They don't check everything every time. If you would want them to do this and create a list of things checked , I am sure they might, but it will probably cost you more. People assume that because they take their cars to dealerships , that they get the best service available. This is not always true. If the battery and alternator are bad again, I would go back to mieneke and complain to them. they are nation wide and all of them should honor a warranty. What mieneke told you was probably opposite of what happened. The alternator was probably putting out to much of a charge and toasted the battery. Weak batteries wont kill an alternator. At least I have never seen or heard of it. As far as warranty issues, it is pretty much your responsibility to bring them up to the dealer. Again if there are specific things you want checked at maintenance time take a list and have them sign off on it. If they already have a list ask to see it and when there done ask for a copy. you pay for it, so they should give you one. I suggest that if you have an issue come up with repairs, to post on here and get some insight to what may be going on with your car. There are a lot of good mechanics on this site. Randy

If you don't have the original paperwork for maintenance for the ceiling fan this is what I would suggest: Cleaning and adding lubricant to the fan's main stem.

Put some lubricant on the fan stem: a drop of oil / graphite grease will do it.

First turn OFF the power, AT THE CIRCUIT BOX - BREAKER BOX.

SECOND Get a household or larger step-stool sized ladder 5 - 6 ft - set it up by your fan, clean the stem around the blade area, wipe gently with a Swiffer duster pad (those pink & white loopy-looking pads, they come in a kit in cleaning supply section of store -- with a slide-on plastic handle, & refills).

These REALLY do work to attract the majority of the static-oriented dust that is so common on electronics.

Then :

Clean and dust off all the blades, (if wood a drop or two, of a Murphy's oil soap will keep them looking nice).

So - clean them - add the Murphy's oil soap, using a small spoonful to 1/2 cup of warm water. Mix in an empty 'Cool Whip' (or similar sized container).

And place that on your small ladder on the ladder's shelf; for ease of use -- no pesky buckets to worry about getting knocked over -- (then start to clean using a rag made from an older smooth cotton sheet, or a really worn towel that has VERY little 'lint producing' potential, (the less junk you add to this cleaned fan the better) as to ANY lint on towel or cloth residues) -- wipe carefully, working slowly -- all the surfaces of the wood!

Top, bottom and those PESKY thin edges. That way you won't be fighting extra dirt in your eyes as you try to tackle the other problem! Dry off the blades with a clean cotton rag made from a sheet. Gently, no hard rubbing needed,

Ok, so NOW you are done with the fan blade cleaning, I bet it looks nice!

Add the oil: a drop of WD40, a household oil in a metal skinny can with a progressively graduated 'needle' like top (or a small dab (using a paintbrush dedicated to that use) of graphite grease -

Some hardware stores sell it in small tubes ... (or small containers like the size of sterno fuel jars) ...

You don't want any motor running without adequate lubrication, or they run 'hot'. Then they can start to cause trouble.

Add the graphite or WD40 to the stem, let it 'run' down the stem & add a 'little' more, but not too much as to 'flood' the area below where it is needed or 'flowing' to ... before you climb down the ladder and go to turn it on -- look to see if the oil has run the length of the rod, is allowing easy movement, as to turning of the blades.

Check it manually by pushing the blade in the direction the blades are set to go, by pressing the fan blades to move forward with a flick of your fingers. They should move easily without hesitation.

Look above and below the blade location as to connection of the blade on the fan rod or stem itself, to see if all oil needed is present; stem is not appearing overly 'dry', or too 'wet' either.

When that is done to your satisfaction, climb down from the ladder, turn on the fan, let it run for a while on the LOWEST speed setting, then check back like in perhaps an hour. AS to if it needs another oil addition.

If not I'd say start out on low always to turning it on, then change to medium speed or high only later.

You don't want to start off on the highest setting each time you use it. That is a likely way to burn out a motor.

If it is running 'smoothly' without 'wobbling' or smelling 'hot' as to an electric motor that is laboring, then you are in business!

Proper maintenance is 'always' welcome if you want your appliances & fans to last ...

Highlight these instructions in yellow sharpie - if you print a copy to use, as to steps that worked well. Then follow those every time from now on.

CLEANING THE FAN at least once or twice A YEAR for basic maintenance that will save you stress, money in the long term (it won't need replacing) and help keep you cool ...!

So ENJOY your fan and the coolness it delivers!

I have experienced this problem with 80's and90's chevy trucks especially with the Delay part of the wipers. Almost always it has been a dirty or corroded connection At the wiper motor. Unplug the motor and check the connections at all plugs. They Should be clean and make a tight connection. This usually solves the problem. Once the connection is cleaned use a little dielectric grease or wd40 on the connections When reconnecting. Let me know if that works for ya.

In my world your correct

Tune-ups have been gone for 25 years,
as computers do all the tuning

Spark plugs are all that is left & they are
called preventative maintenance, as they
always were.

You can do air filter,gas filter,clean MAF Sensor
etc, but not tuning anything,just restoring things

take the Ps2 gaming console to nearest Sony service center the problem is with lens it sometimes run quiet well but sometimes got hang you can do one little thing & try it take any of the Ps2 games which are getting freeze while playing take Colgate toothpaste the regular one take a little bit of it & apply on the game disc rub it on the disc & then clean & wipe out with a clean smooth cloth & clean properly after cleaning the disc will look good neat in condition but please make sure no particle is left after cleaning & now play the disc on Ps2 & see if it still get freeze then their is a problem with console better check it at nearest Sony service center for trouble free working

clean all roller & sensors properly . if you don;t know how to do it read manual

First step should be to change the game by the new one (or clean the disc). If this still not help please advice.
