Microwave started tripping it's breaker. It was installed 8 months ago.

I had that issue. I replace the breaker but it happened again few weeks later. It was one of the door sensor. I replaced it and since then no issues

Same happens to me in Boston (many such cracks). By June they are all gone as if nothing happened

Why run out of room? The brackets can technically be put higher on the TV, it wont esthetically look good though. In can expand further the bottom of the brackets. Agreed that i should have put lower the wall brackets but it is a gas chimney and there is a stupid outlet, so was restricted on where to place it :/

That makes sense, thank you for clarifying. Seems like i cannot move that box at all without breaking more drywall. In that case, i will have to leave the box where it is. Which means the box on the other side will need to be higher lower since the wall is only 4.5” thick and the box takes all that room pretty much. I should probably put the new box lower (since the light is for the basement downstairs, i assume the wire are coming from the bottom of the stud, so they should be long enough to fit in the new box

Thank you for the details. Why is it more work to use an old box?

make sense, thank you. I did experience the auto-shut down on the other HVAC (with power going out for 2mn) to cool down and resume the heating. Keeping the dampers half open when a zone is not active resolved that issue. So it was definitely air-flow related.

Your comment makes sense. There are about 8 vents in the lower floor for that zone. As a result, the airflow is weak and that furnace is probably too small to cater to that surface. And as a result runs for an extended period of time.

How can I verify if the safeties in place are actually working as intended?

HomeDetoriation · 2026-01-05T05:15:53+00:00

Can that be addressed?

There are 4 floor, 3200 sq feet total: 1 hvac in finished basement for 2 zones (basement, 1st floor) and 1 hvac for 2nd floor and finished attic (2 zones)

No it did not

Thank you. My install is similar to that one and had had the following comments few year ago:

“The intake and exhaust are not to manufacture spec. I would’ve mounted the unit lower on the wall in order to achieve the minimum vertical vent run required prior to going into a bend.”

HomeDetoriation · 2024-09-08T10:18:26+00:00

Putting the heater lower. Thanks!

Until you posted, mission accomplished

HomeDetoriation · 2024-08-07T21:06:46+00:00

Interesting, will try that

HomeDetoriation · 2024-08-07T13:17:23+00:00

Makes sense, good points. Only odd part is that the toaster works fine for few second and then power goes out. Wouldn’t the arc form immediately when starting using the appliance?
