A snake likes to get right up next to my front door at night. One night when I opened the door he tried to come inside. When I open the door he goes under the metal plate at the floor. What can I do to get rid of him?

I bet the snake is there to eat bugs. Do you have a light on by the door. The light attracts bugs. The snake just wants to eat them. Keep the light off unless you really need it and the snake will find another place to catch bugs.

I have a family of possums in my shed so need to no what do thay eat so I can get them out

they eat fruit, grubs leaves etc
ti get them out first close off all the openings that they can get through leaving one open for night as they are nocturnal animals and roam and forage at night
next have a snake handler put a carpet snake in the shed
close the night opening leaving the snake inside and they will not be able to get in but if they do because you thought that they wouldn't get through that little hole , they will vacate as soon as they smell the snake

Is it dangerous for a king snake to be out in the open at night, it's 88 degrees right now, low will be 68 tonight. I think it's injured.

snakes can hunt at night or if the temp is too cold they hibernate until the weather gets warmer
snakes live in the open and are well capable of looking after themselves
tey should only be handled by professional snake handles especially injured snakes as they are very dangerous if injured

Door open sensor trips and alarm sounds

It's either the sensor itself or the wiring from the sensor to wherever it goes. I would start by swapping the two rear sensors and see if the fault moves to the other side. If not it's the wiring which you will need to trace and check all connectors involved.

The door will not open after the last wash. It may have been over loaded or poorly balanced inside because it made loud noise/ rattle & rocked when trying to go into the next cycle.

On a Hotpoint front loader m/c, take the lower panel off at floor level. Try not to break it as fragile. To the right is an emergency tab, pull on the tab downwards at the same time as using the door handle. It should now open.

Maytag neptune dryer making load noise seems unbalanced

Sounds more like the dryer drum seal is deteriorating.
If the dryer tumbles the belt is intact.
To access the belt.
Open the door.
Remove 4 screws on right and left side of the door opening.
Raise the door on the hinge side and remove it.
Pull the front panel forward and remove it.
From there you can see what to do next.

Maytag MAH 3 Door will not unlock.

OK so the MAH3 Front load is what I assume you're talking about. I found this question looking around when I had the same problem.
So not able to find a soluton I just went to work with my screwdriver. To get the door open you do as follows:
1. Unplug the washer and wait for 5-10 minutes. Safety first.
2. At the back of the machine on the top left and right sides there are 2 screws (mine where black I dont know that they all will be) that hold the top plate in place. Remove them.
3. Once the screws are removed put your palms on the top of the washer and push the lid towards the back of the washer. The lid should slide back a bit then you should be able to lift it off. Put it aside for now.
4. You should now be able to see everything inside the washer. Look straight down from the top where the door is. On the right hand side of the door (this might be different if you have it setup to swing the other way) you will see wires leading to the electronic release for the door. The manual release you're looking for sits at the very BOTTOM of the electronic assembly. Snake your hand down past the wires and and the bottom of the black box thing there is a single "stick with a ball at the end" pull that DOWN while you pull the washer door open (maybe have a friend / wife help). You will not be able to see what you're doing at all but it seemed pretty easy once I figured it out.
My problem apparently (and I couldn't tell this with all the clothes inside) seems to be that the water didn't drain all the way? This appears to be while it wasn't releasing the door.
Anyway good luck!

Door wont unlock

Try "end of cycle" button, & wait for a couple of minutes before u try the door; do not force door.
Check your exit hose spigot, it may be clogged. This is if your filter is all clean. There should be air for passage in the standpipe behind. Your hose should not fit airtight into the standpipe and neither too deep into it. Snaking out your standpipe would be good too.

Rate me pl.....if helped.
