If you have plugged the tub into another outlet and the jets work fine, it is not a control module problem. The tub should be plugged into a gfci outlet. If it is, there may be a reset switch on the plug it is plugged into, or there may be a switch somewhere else in your bathroom that has the reset switch on it. You can buy a tester for about $3 or $4 that plugs into your outlet to test if it has power. Hope this helps.

Refrigerator was bought 5yrs ago(brand new)it worked perfectly until then....put it in storage 4 six months...when i moved it into my house i plugged it up...can hear it on but yet to get cold....left it...

Hi
Is your fridge compressor motor working and can you hear it turn on and off every hour or so. Not to be confused with the sound coming from the fan inside the fridge.
If the motor is working but neither the fridge or freezer compartment are getting cold, then there may have been a rupture during transport and gas has escaped.

I have a split unit that was installed about 8 months ago. It worked fien until the hot summer came. Suddenly it began to drip on the wooden floor beneath it. I checked the drain outside and it seemed to...

If your unit is only 8 months old, then it should still be under warranty! Suggest you check the drain line to make sure that nothing has decided to make it home.

I would check the level of your unit to make sure that there is a slight grade to the rear of the unit, but I hesitate to tell you to shim it.

You may have arc fault breakers in this area. Be sure to unplug all devices and try to reset breaker again. Some brush type motors will not work on arc fault breakers. If this is a brand new house then call the builder back and let him get the electrician back in.

Motor starts, but no electricity...NEW

Make sure the motor is turning the alternator--check the coupling device between them. Is there a circuit breaker on the alternator--reset it? Plug a lamp or something into a socket. If it works, the voltmeter may be in trouble. If still nothing, an inspection of the interior of the alternator is required. If the engine is off, there is no danger of getting shocked. Look for broken wiring anywhere.

Fan switch not work - Viking 3048SS brand new range hood

There is the on off switch and the blower control that controls the speed of the fan. It is more than likley the blower control that would need replaced.

There could also be a wire disconnected in the hood.
