As the clothes gently toss about inside the drum, a temperature control thermostatic disk regulates the heat. It is set for 160f for cotton and it mounts on the blower housing. As air is drawn into the drum and out the backside of the dryer the heat is regulated by this control. It sends 120 volts to the gas assembly. Right next to it is a fuse. The duct fuse is set to blow at 250f. Should that control fail to open and allow for heat to build to abnormally high temps. Note: the fuse will kill the heat source only on most dryer, the dryer will however continue to run. Lint and vent blockage can restrict the airflow and make the heat inside build to dangerous levels.The control thermostat powers up the heat for a minute then shuts down for a few minutes, then repeats this all throughout the drying process, the gas does not stay on! That would burn the clothes. If both of those items check ok and the dryer vent and lint has been cleaned, I next take a look at the gas assembly. I check the flame sensor first. If the flame sensor is open the ignitor will not glow. If that turns out to be good I next check the ignitor itself for continuity. If it turns out to be good I replace the coils. Those coils cannot be checked because they do not act up until energized. Sometimes the coils will work, get hot and fail, cool down and work again. I have some repair photos: HERE

A New Hot tub cover will lower your Hot Tub Costs

A New hot tub cover will help you run your hot tub at a more efficient level. Lower your energy costs as the new hot tub cover will insulate better. The question is when do you need a new hot tub cover.

The best ways to know if you need a new spa cover or hot tub cover are the following:

  1. The hot tub cover weighs over 100 pounds.
  2. You need more then one person to remove the hot tub cover.
  3. The hot tub cover is ripped and torn past repair.
  4. Faded cracked and just aesthetically ugly.
  5. The seam in the middle is ripped past repair.
Can you fix your hot tub cover? Some things you can fix like rips and tears. You can take the cover to a local seamstress to repair. You can not fix a saturated hot tub cover, it needs to be replaced at that point. New Hot Tub Cover for the Fall and Winter

Hot water not running to machine just the cold water

Try switching the hot and cold hoses. See if the hot water works. Sometimes the gate gets frozen, other times the hot is so slow it seems to not be working, similar to when it takes a long time to get hot water in the sink.

What is the difference between hot chocolate and cocoa powder?

Although the two names of drinks are used interchangeably, hot chocolate is a drink that's either made from real chocolate melted into milk or with packet hot chocolate powder. Cocoa powder is unsweetened and needs to be combined with sugar to create a sweeter drink.

In general hot chocolate is richer and sweeter than hot cocoa.

Do you have a connection guide for each screw (N, COMMON, A1...) ?

Screw terminals are color-coded on each switch. They vary by device.

Green screw always ground
Silver screw always neutral > except some 4 ways switches
Brass screw is hot > can be hot from breaker or hot wire going to load > or in 3-way switch can be hot traveler wires from other 3-way switch
Dark screw is hot > can be hot from breaker > or in 3-way switch is hot going to load

Single-pole switch:
2 brass screws > hot and load wires connect to either screw

3-way switch:
2 brass screws connect to travelers
dark screw goes to hot from breaker and hot to load

Switch-plug combo and pilot light switches:
dark screw goes to hot from breaker
silver screw to neutral, brass screw goes to load

Double switch:
dark screw goes to hot from breaker
brass screws each go to load

Receptacles:
brass screw goes to hot from breaker and to hot going to next receptacle
silver screw goes to neutral and to neutral going to next receptacle.

Hot water not really hot

I have never heard of this before, and have always piped dishwashers off the hot water line. Not to say it could not be done the other way, I would refer to the instructions that came with the dishwasher, and if they say to connect to the hot water line, to have the technician come back and fix it. If it says to connect to cold water line, then manufacturers know best.....Hope this helps
