I am replacing an old dimmer with a new one.

Easiest Way to Replace a 3-Way Switch If you're simply swapping an old 3-way switch for a new one, use this simple trick to get the wiring right: Before disconnecting any wires on the old switch, find the wire attached to the common screw terminal and label it with a piece of tape. Then, you can disconnect all three wires from the switch, as well as the ground wire. Because the other two wires (the travelers) are interchangeable, it doesn't matter which of the traveler screws you attach them to-there's no need to label them.

Need upper control housing diagram for 2009 Motorguide Varimax Great White trolling motor. The motor only runs in reverse, whether I push the handle forward or pull it back.

I'm sorry to hear that you are having trouble with your Motorguide Varimax Great White trolling motor. Here is a diagram of the upper control housing for the 2009 model that may be helpful:
  1. Control housing assembly
  2. Tilt tube assembly
  3. Steering shaft assembly
  4. Tension spring
  5. Speed control knob
  6. Directional indicator
  7. Steering handle assembly
Regarding the issue with the motor only running in reverse, it is possible that there is a problem with the control housing assembly or the wiring connections to the motor. You may want to inspect the wiring and connections for any signs of damage or corrosion. If you are unable to identify the issue or make the necessary repairs, you may want to consider taking the trolling motor to a Motorguide service center for professional diagnosis and repair.

Why is my SaniFlo Saniaccess 2 tripping my GFCI constantly?

GFCI or RCD tripping is either moisture has entered the motor body or there is a wiring fault. Neither of which would I consider a warranty issue especially noting the age. Call an electrician to diagnose the fault first then take it from there.

Little Giant 554455 VCMA-20ULS 230V

Hi,
The float switch went bad... probably because of the water...you could replace it, but the parts are hard to get and with the time involved it will be easier and cheaper to replace it...

Question about Kawasaki cordless screwdriver. Model 200/min (Walmart, Home Depot) Battery registers as charged, but the bit will not turn. Does not appear locked.

My cordless Black + Decker screwdriver model BDC550 showed the same problem. The solution turned out to be that the Forward/Reverse/Lock-off slider is REALLY hard to move from the Lock-off position. I solved it by pushing it REALLY hard. It works!

Coleman pm1500 started it up plugged in extension cord to much load killed motor now getting no fire from engine

It sounds like your Coleman PM1500 generator may have experienced a serious issue due to overloading, which may have caused damage to the engine or electrical system. To troubleshoot the issue and restore power to the engine, you may want to try the following steps:
  1. Check the oil level and fuel level: Make sure that the oil level in the engine is sufficient and that the fuel tank is not empty.
  2. Check for any visible signs of damage: Check the generator's components, including the engine, spark plug, and electrical system, for any visible signs of damage or wear.
  3. Test the spark plug: Remove the spark plug and inspect it for damage or fouling. If it appears to be damaged or fouled, replace it with a new one.
  4. Check the electrical system: Use a multimeter to check the voltage output of the generator's electrical system. If the voltage is low or non-existent, there may be an issue with the generator's alternator or voltage regulator.
If you are unable to diagnose and fix the issue yourself, it may be best to take the generator to a qualified repair technician who can help you identify and address the problem.

Pramac generator no power

Based on the information provided, it seems that the generator is producing voltage but not delivering it to the connected devices. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:
  1. Check the circuit breakers: Make sure the circuit breakers on the generator are not tripped. If they are, reset them and try again.
  2. Check the connections: Ensure that all the connections between the generator and the devices you are trying to power are secure and not loose.
  3. Check the voltage regulator: The voltage regulator controls the output voltage of the generator. If it is faulty, it may not be allowing voltage to pass through to the connected devices. You may need to have it tested or replaced.
  4. Check the automatic voltage regulator (AVR): If your generator has an AVR, it may be malfunctioning and preventing power from reaching the connected devices.
  5. Check the capacitor: While a visual inspection may not always be enough to detect a faulty capacitor, it is worth checking it with a capacitor tester to make sure it is functioning properly.
  6. Check the wiring: Inspect the wiring for any signs of damage, such as frayed or broken wires. If you find any, you will need to repair or replace the affected wires.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, you may need to consult with a qualified technician to diagnose and fix the problem.

Where I can buy the motor of a 24 hour dial time

I had an old Intermatic TN111 indoor timer with the red & green trippers laying around. I just drilled out the plastic plugs holding it together and popped out the timer motor. The timer motor is mechanically identical to the Malibu pool/lighting timer whose timer motor died.. As a bonus you get a spare load switch in case that ever fails.This works for 125VAC timers but not for 230VAC though if you have access to split phase you can run the motor off of 120 VAC and the load off of the 240 VAC
