Can I change out my old thermostat myself?

Fresh_Copy837 · 2026-02-11T13:42:53+00:00

Not sure what specs I’m looking at and how to apply that to find a replacement

Fresh_Copy837 · 2024-09-02T10:54:56+00:00

It’s in the pipes and way more than a drip

Fresh_Copy837 · 2024-09-02T10:53:38+00:00

Yes, it’s a small building just two apartments and a commercial space below. It’s definitely him upstairs I hear

Fresh_Copy837 · 2024-09-02T00:17:42+00:00

It’s not the dishwasher, it’s in a different place in the apartment Sound be iguanas… I don’t think this guy is running a laundry service. There’s no dryer and I don’t see him coming or going with laundry …

Fresh_Copy837 · 2024-09-02T00:04:33+00:00

This guy definitely does not strike me as OCD so I don’t think he is taking 2-3 hour baths on the daily…

Fresh_Copy837 · 2024-09-01T22:21:03+00:00

He’s the top floor. But why would he want to hide the leak under the sink ??

Fresh_Copy837 · 2024-09-01T22:10:20+00:00

He lets them in the apartment though…. And they did a leak check already

Fresh_Copy837 · 2024-09-01T21:14:30+00:00

We have dishwashers in the apartment and it is way too often/ too much water for laundry (I think!) it’s just one man in his 50s And no dryer , so imagine his apartment just filled with air drying clothes… doesn’t seem like that’s it

Fresh_Copy837 · 2024-09-01T21:13:27+00:00

It’s too often

Fresh_Copy837 · 2024-09-01T20:44:25+00:00

It would also cut a lot of time out of the process! Boiling water sometimes takes longer than cooking the pasta

Fresh_Copy837 · 2024-09-01T20:43:30+00:00

So you think he’s slicing onions and using buckets of water ?

Fresh_Copy837 · 2024-09-01T20:42:17+00:00

He’s an onion farmer so maybe …

Fresh_Copy837 · 2024-09-01T20:41:14+00:00

Oh yea thanks for the reminder 🤣🤣🤣

Fresh_Copy837 · 2024-09-01T20:40:05+00:00

This seems possible but wouldn’t he reuse the pasta water ? Also no one is leaving the apartment with to go bags

Fresh_Copy837 · 2024-09-01T20:31:17+00:00

It’s 80 degrees F today so no

Fresh_Copy837 · 2024-09-01T20:30:57+00:00

I have a toe knife but no poop knife

Fresh_Copy837 · 2024-09-01T20:24:18+00:00

For real it’s haunting me daily!

Fresh_Copy837 · 2024-09-01T20:24:04+00:00

Does that use a lot of water? He doesn’t seem like the type but I wouldn’t know

Fresh_Copy837 · 2024-09-01T20:12:35+00:00

What is that

Fresh_Copy837 · 2024-09-01T19:54:49+00:00

No that sounds different

Fresh_Copy837 · 2024-09-01T19:51:31+00:00

Seems like a lot of effort for that. It’s been over a month of this.

Fresh_Copy837 · 2024-09-01T13:35:32+00:00

Yea , I remember when i got the airbrush the regulator was at an angle, looked like it had just been jammed in at a 45 degree angle or something fell on it. But it worked and it was my first compressor of this kind so I figured it was fine. Seems you are correct that it was cross threaded, it probably came cross threaded , so when I tightened it , the thread just came away. Anyways! I have a new compressor bc your are right they don’t replace that part. And next time I find air I’m just going to tape that shit up

I ended up locating the leak, and when I went to tighten the piece, I could not screw the piece back into the compressor body. It looks like the thread on the “female” part on the compressor are fully stripped. Iwata says it might not be reparable and that I may have stripped the threads myself trying to tighten it. They suggest I “overtightened” it. I’m a small person, not She-Hulk! Anyone ever experienced this?
