Tip & How-To about Moen Chateau SingleHandle Kitchen Faucet with Side Spray Glacier 7434W

Moen single handle kitchen faucet will not stay up

There is what I will call a rubber/plastic grommet between
the top screw and the top of the cartridge.
The screw compresses the grommet and keeps the handle up .
(the grommet has two parts.. tightening the screw closes the
space between the grommet parts)
In my case.. the grommet had a crack .... preventing the grommet
from doing its job of holding the handle up.
Fortunately, Moen will replace the innards.

workaround.. .place a rubber washer between the screw and the grommet.
worked for me ... after some pain and suffering..

WHIRLPOOL WASHER HAS A VERY SLOW SPIN. IT SOUNDS LIKE A REGULAR SPIN BUT IT IS NOT. ANY IDEA WHAT CAUSES THIS?

Between the motor and the transmission is a rubber piece with each side -- plastic drivers - on the shafts. Sounds like you need that new coupler. They are designed the take the jolts of the start and stopping but they wear out. You have to pull out the machine from the wall. Tilt it back and you can see the joint between the motor and the trans. You may see debris on the floor too from the disintegrating of the coupler

On top of the motor is the pump with metal clips. Use a screw driver to remove the clips and pull the pump off - let it hang. Next, get your small socket set out and take out the 1/4 inch screw head on the motor clips. Use the driver and remove the clips holding the motor to the plate and the transmission. The plastic drivers and the rubber grommet will now be separated. Note how the motor is mounted on the plate with rubber grommets. Remove the motor. Use a screw driver if necessary to get the broken parts off the shafts of the trans and motor. Replace the drive coupling and reassemble the unit. An easy fix

How do I get the top cover off the freezer door and switch it to open the opposite way?

Duct tape the door closed.

Keep all washers and plastic grommets. make screw holes in opposite side accessible IE remove plastic grommets.

Remove the lower hinge remove the upper hinge.Install lower hinge just as it came off and then do the upper hinge. tighten down the hinges then see if the door needs adjusting by opening it and closing it and watching for the door gasket to keep folded properly.

Insert the plastic grommet covers in the original holes and you should be done.
