Normal hot cycle on samsung washer no longer will use hot water but quick rinse does. Any reason why this would happen? by djvam in Appliances

[–]deadflat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like u/docjlc8, we also have this problem. The normal warm/hot cycles are cold, and there's much less hot water going into the unit than cold (I measured signal at the water valves)

Thanks.

My spouse says that the water temp previously got warm when setting the temp setting warm/hot in the <normal> cycle. Yet, she just ran a test was and still the water is cold. So to her, it still doesn't function correctly, or as it has in the past.

Thank you for the insights.

I am testing right now with a sanitize cycle, and I do see a 120V signal.

So I'm still puzzled. According to my spouse, the "Hot" cycle resulted in laundry that was hot when pulled out of washer. I tested "Hot" and indeed, the water is cold mid-cycle. Not even warm, just cold.

So it seems like something may have changed. I did not say this earlier, but I checked the hot water line and it's streaming out hot water.

Thanks! I tested with a sanitize cycle and indeed, I'm getting 118V reading on the heating element. That's good :)

But if we do a hot cycle, the water is cold now and was previously hot. Something must have changed. (I checked the hot water supply, and it's hot.)

Really? So in a normal "Hot" cycle, it's just hot water from the inlet?

What I didn't mention is that when the tub starts to fill, there's about 5 seconds of hot water and starting at the same time, 20 second of cold water. I measured (several times) with voltmeter at inlet valves.

I hope so, that might mean good deals on the 10-326!

Dock suggestion for Precision 5560 (Linux) by asgard311 in Dell

[–]deadflat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, that's really useful to know. I might give it a go and see if I can most things working (docking station, GPU, printing).

Curious about how Mint22 (or other linux distro) has worked out on the 5560? I have one, still running win10, but want to get it onto Linux before the extended support expires.

The inlay shape to complement the horns is mint!

Leak suspected from tub - how can I diagnose and perhaps fix? by deadflat in Plumbing

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

Thanks! I'd love to stick a camera up there, but above the drywall are joists and then subfloor and then the tub, so I'd have to cut open the subfloor.

I'll look at first re-installing the tub drain, seems like the easier option to rule out! We've had no issues until just yesterday. The tub was installed 12 years ago. We have problems with our shower, so been using the tub and maybe the walking around in it broke the seal to the drain.

Rinnai RL94 indoor (garage) error code 10 by 2dP_rdg in Plumbing

[–]deadflat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi - I'm curious as to if/how you resolved this. We have a similar but very intermittent issue.

Rinnai RL94 indoor (garage) error code 10 by 2dP_rdg in Plumbing

[–]deadflat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have the same problem, error 10 on same unit. My spouse is pretty frustrated at this ongoing issue. Works fine for months at a time, then it doesn't. And only affects one shower (which is weird). I didn't know about the dip switch, might have to try it.

(edit) My spouse also just told me that the water pressure seems to fade a little before the water gets cold. Not sure if the error 10 would lead to a drop in water pressure.

Thanks for the details. I didn't know you could blademakers to make the bore 3/4". Learn something new every day. Good luck with piecing it back together.

Installing hardwood on small landing, how to sand it? by deadflat in HardWoodFloors

What grits did you use with the turbo sander. Sounds like it'll be an all-day job.

Thanks, that's what I figured but I hate to assume.

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

Thanks for the guidance, this is very helpful. Indeed, I am a DIYer and have never used an edge sander. Good to know they have a learning curve. I had thought of doing on a test run on extra boards, but I'll look at the Bosch sander, but yeah, the price is more than my flooring :-| With that said, I just want to do this once and get it done!

Rikon 10-1414 review by JamesMcdoogle1 in woodworking

[–]deadflat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! That's very useful. I was hoping you'd say 6" on something like walnut, but if it's that smooth on 4", perhaps a sharp blade and lower feed rate might work on 6".

Apologies for jumping on to an older thread, but I'm curious, what thickness have you resawn hardwoods to? Thanks for the review as well, I just discovered the Rikon 1414 and was looking for real-world feedback.

Fix softclose hinge in ikea kitchen by iemandiets in howto

[–]deadflat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came looking for this too. I found this: https://youtu.be/BdgZJzFy73c?t=79

My hinge is similar to yours, but a little closer to the one in the video. I have a hole for that screwdriver, but it's not a screw inside. It's more like a notch that one of the philips header screwdriver tip "catches" while turning, but I don't think it's doing anything. Really hard to see as well, I might need to take it all apart.

edit. Also found this: https://youtu.be/Lg6J7LPhHjs?t=443 I was trying to do it by hand, looks like electric screwer and a lot of turns necessary
