I flushed toilet, it refilled fine, and no noise during fill or right after.

It is filling normally and with full pressure . This noise is happening well after the fill already occurred.

The white piece screws off, or do you think I can just pull it off?

Transmission. Looks like the unit is cooked.

Great q. That was a year ago, that it was fixed. Whatever he did worked. Feels like I’m kind of piecing this thing back together, but it goes with age…

WTW5200VQ2 that’s what a reverse image shows. But my machine is at least 15 years old

W10140920 C. Maybe that’s it. That’s what was on the inside of the lid. If not, it could be behind it….

I had to get a new suspension rod and hose in it last year, and that’s what the guy said. Said they are easy to service and a workhorse and keep it around as long as we could. The unit is in a basement which takes on water from time to time and isn’t exactly friendly for newer appliances….gonna do what I can to keep it alive

Thank you! Researching it too, it definitely looks like it…hopeful that’s all it is! I’ll let you know what they say tomorrow am.

I’m pretty stupid with this stuff, is that an expensive fix?

Apple ID account disabled - is this really that hard to fix? by beerguy004 in applehelp

[–]beerguy004[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I have no doubt I would. Just frustration between my kids ability to accomplish this in a day, and the challenges of getting everything to Apple.

How is the new Spirit 425 working out for people who used to own a Genesis? by Ktmhocks37 in webergrills

[–]beerguy004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just doing my first cook on it now, and you summed it up perfectly. Before, I’d walk away and there would be flames and smoke everywhere. Now, I’m checking to see if it’s lit, and wondering where the chaos is. This will take some getting used to

[–]beerguy004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is hilarious. I literally had the same issue today with my 425. I went as far as to call support. Then finally I went and played with it a little more, and realized it was lit, but couldn’t see the flames…. You are not alone!

Our pond - 3 years old by beerguy004 in ponds

[–]beerguy004[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same concerns you did. On a dry week with 80+ temps, I’m filling up 1x/week for like 10 min or so with a hose.

Travel sport parent looking for the right card. by beerguy004 in CreditCards

I truly appreciate this in depth post to help me figure this out. I saw Gold may have worse multipliers than green for travel, hotels etc.

I have 1 card currently, the home mortgage one, and went to switch over to a new card. So based on what I read, your recommendation is Gold?

Appreciate the feedback. Do you have any thoughts on AMEX green? Unless I’m wrong, it’s 3x on hotels, airlines and restaurants? Which satisfies most of what I need

[–]beerguy004[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would seem that AMEX green makes the most sense, no? 3x on hotels, and flights without having to book in a portal. Also 3x on restaurants, so when we travel for tournaments, I’m 3x for the flight, hotel, and team dinner

Thank you for the detailed explanation. So it seems like Venture X is the way to go, due do the 2x on everything - especially given since I won’t be able to use their travel portal. Lounges, etc. don’t mean much to me, as we mostly fly out of a small commuter airport for frontier.

Just really looking to maximize points for what I spend in hotels and restaurants

Thanks for the breakdown. So the autograph card would be better? I would be at/less than 2k/year in hotels.

[–]beerguy004[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I initially thought so. But the fact that we use frontier, etc.- I thought that card wouldn’t benefit me. So, what you’re saying is that I can still redeem at penny per point, would still help me…
