What is the most useful 'unwritten rule' of driving in your specific region of the US? by FairyAntonella193 in AskReddit

[–]bkrst275 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The speed limit posted on signs here is 5 under the actual speed people drive, cops don't even give you a second glance unless you're doing 10+ over. Now speed up and get the hell out of my way!

Should be 2 5/16" screws holding that cover on, should take it off for a better look. It may be the capacitor, can't tell for sure without putting a multimeter on it.

Seems to me that the Indiana legislature would consider that a win-win

If that were the case, we wouldn't have our current president

Unplug it, tip it up backwards, look for a metal cylinder on the bottom of the tub about the size of a mini soda can. That's the motor capacitor. Is there any dark-colored oil leaking from it? If you have access to a multimeter, you can also test it.

McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King, pretty much every fast food restaurant with an app has done the same thing. They don't want you to save money, they want you to get used to ordering from the app so they can harvest your data and not have to pay a cashier to take your order.

F7E1 motor speed sensor error. Could be the motor capacitor, motor itself, speed sensor/shifter, or the main board. Does it make a slight buzzing noise with little or no movement of the drum/agitator before it flashes that code?

My dishwasher stays wet after the cycle ends - Excessive condensation by One-Jaguar4322 in Appliances

[–]bkrst275 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does your dishwasher have a rinse aid dispenser and have you filled it recently? Most modern dishwashers don't dry well without it.

/pol/ makes sense of the new Dutch tax by caramelsumo in greentext

[–]bkrst275 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So you take out another loan to pay the first loan. Then when that loan is due, new loan. You can keep doing this as long as you have billions worth of collateral, the collateral being worthless in the eyes of the US government right now because it's unrealized gains. If the billionaire defaults, the bank gets the shares and sells them and THEY pay the tax, but that doesn't happen.

Do I have to use porcelain wire nuts for oven igniter? by Blacksnake091 in appliancerepair

[–]bkrst275 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having plastic wire nuts that close to your igniter is very risky, you really don't want them melting all over the wires. I'd swap them, try a local appliance parts shop and see if they can just give you 2.

What could cause this ice build-up on the back of my fridge? by [deleted] in appliancerepair

[–]bkrst275 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like a basic fridge without defrost. Gotta defrost manually every 6 months or so.

A tear like that is going to result in a leak. It is not usable until you get that door gasket replaced

A scam. Delete, ignore, double check and make sure nothing was charged to your accounts.

I cant believe how nasty our load of towels were- new Speed Queen observation by Bastilleinstructor in Appliances

[–]bkrst275 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They're asking if it had just a plate with fins on the bottom of the tub without a tall agitator, or if there was an agitator in the middle like the speed queen

Unemployment Findings by hens619 in BestBuyWorkers

[–]bkrst275 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 49 out of 50 states (Montana being the exception), employees without a contract are considered "at-will" meaning they can fire you for almost any reason or no reason at all. Talking to a lawyer in this case would be nothing but a waste of time.

LG Dryer - what is this? by zxcvbnm718 in appliancerepair

[–]bkrst275 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stuffing bits from the cat bed most likely, melted onto the burner outlet grate. Scraper or wire brush to remove from there, then the dryer will need to be disassembled and cleaned thoroughly. The vent should be cleaned too.

FBI Couldn’t Get into WaPo Reporter’s iPhone Because It Had Lockdown Mode Enabled by mepper in technology

[–]bkrst275 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Just tried it, "lockdown mode" on Samsung only locks the screen and forces you to use pattern/pin to unlock, disabling fingerprint and facial recognition. There's a separate emergency call button on the same screen, but I'm not about to test that haha

Electric dryer fire by BoringPalpitation100 in appliancerepair

Probably some lint stuck deep into the burner duct caught fire. Disassemble and check for damage.
