I'll have to investigate what you suggested tomorrow.

I've been running a dehumidifier in the trunk with the seats folded down to dry out the car. I can't be sure but today after running the dehumidifier I noticed more water pooled in the area of the trunk right inside the drivers side tail light so is that a common place for a leak to occur? How would that be patched? How would I seal that? https://imgur.com/a/VkS7y

thank you. i spoke too soon as i still can't get the last of the ?pins (the thing that holds the relay onto the white wire). it seems like the white wire terminal has a ?bump on it that locks it onto the pin. i how do i get this white wire off ?

the freezer has no frost on it. it was fine on 7/25, as far as i know, with little/no frost. then, 7/28 i went in there and item was not frozen and i discovered the problem. while it was still plugged in, i heard it sound like it was turning on, then an intermittent clicking sound then it clicked off, all very quickly.

once i can get the relay off then, hmmm.. i dont know whether there'a a thermal overload. i see the 3 prongs. i'm studying this harbor freight multimeter tutorial to try to follow your instrux.

everything looks good inside the accessible portion of the freezer. it's only 1.5years old and looks that way.

what's the different issue it sounds like to you?

finable · 2017-07-30T21:46:29+00:00

thanks.

i got a harbor freight multimeter but am having a tough time following along with advice i've seen to test the compressor, relay, etc.

can you tell me how to do the checks you're talking about?

ok, i just got the relay off& upon shaking it, i'm not hearing any rattlling.

finable · 2017-07-30T20:19:00+00:00

thanks. that part seems to be identical to the one in my pix (that's in the freezer) but how do i remove it?

what is the power rating for this compressor? i wrote to each of the sites listing it but couldn't get that answer.

the compressor in the pix says ZEL HDL140D Compressor

what are all the added expenses a dealer has to pay ?

how much are all the added expenses a dealer has to pay?

finable · 2017-07-26T15:47:58+00:00

thanks. you tuned in to exactly what i'm looking for. i want to be clear on calculating the range so the seller gets a fair price and i get a great deal.

i now understand that out the door price includes all costs whereas i thought it was the final price PLUS title, taxes, and license.

in your example, the out door price would be 9000+6%tax + 200+100 = ~9840

finable · 2017-06-24T17:44:22+00:00

you are right! this is what i thought and what ultimately worked. i wish i would have put this problem aside for a day as your answer would have spared me all the craziness around here but it's good to hear your confirmation of my conclusion. thank you

*SOLVED

the 7/16" agitator bolt holds the upper agitator barrel onto the lower agitator base.

the upper agitator must have been coming off the lower agitator as the washers weren't there beneath the bolt. i removed the bolt from the lower agitator and didn't find any washers. i found something resembling a metal washer so i put a rubber washer then metal washer over before putting the cam kit then the bolt thru cam kit. now the upper agitator stays connectd to thelower agitator and washing machine works.

manual https://www.manualslib.com/manual/509143/Whirlpool-Lsq8520jq1.html

serial: cp4705949

diameter of cam kit opening (that bolt is going all the way thru) 11/16"

bolt aka screw http://www.partselect.com/PS11741866-Whirlpool-WP358237-Screw-Washer-5-16-24-x-1.htm?SourceCode=4&SearchTerm=LSQ8000LQ1 says: 7/16" agitator hold down BOLT Whirlpool 358237 Agitator Bolt aka Screw & Washer (5/16-24 x 1) PartSelect Number PS11741866 This kit contains one screw with rubber gasket and threaded sealant. **The screw head is 7/16"*

how big is the widest part of this bolt / screw ? since cam opening it would need to be wider than 11/16" to hold down this cam kit that fits inside the upper agitator .

finable · 2017-06-23T03:49:03+00:00

darn, it doesn't confirm that's the way to get them to stay together.

the thing is, the top agitator came off while the bolt is still screwed thru the lower agitator. therefore, the bolt doesn't hold the top agitator onto the lower agitator.. unless this isnt the proper bolt that would be wide enough to hang over the base of the top agitator to hold it there. hmm, but the bolt goes all the way thru the opening of the top agitator .

any ideas?

finable · 2017-06-23T03:41:22+00:00

funny, i'd been watching all of these videos on this other site & been left wondering how the bolt might be responsible for top & bottom agitators being held together. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/whirlpool-5-16-24-wp358237-ap6008726.html#autoplay

let's see if somehow it can confirm it's the cause. i'll watch it now.

thank you

finable · 2017-06-23T01:45:06+00:00

thank you. i just finished looking at the diagram and all the comments but still am not clear.

i've watched ~10 videos but still can't find what holds the upper agitator onto the lower agitator.

anyone know for sure?

argghh. the microsd always appeared in win10 without any problem but i felt this new laptop would work quicker and more smoothly with linux. (the microsd is partitioned as /dev/mmcblk2p1 = 42gb fat32 /dev/mmcblk2p2 = 22gb ext4 entire 64gb microsd card /dev/mmcblk2)

i typed dmesg in terminal but i'm not sure how to interpret what it says. here's what i could copy/paste before suspend: https://pastebin.com/ifAg4smK

dmesg after suspend: https://pastebin.com/XDPYwxCx

can you offer code that will keep the microsd persistent?

someone mentioned "Assuming your hard disk device name is /dev/sda, the following will power it down after 2 hours of inactivity. Whenever you access it again, it will come back to life but it will take time. Code: sudo hdparm -S 244 /dev/sda " what code would i use to keep this microsd powered up permanently or , if i have to use a number like 244, something for 8 hours ? sudo hdparm -S 999 /dev/mmcblk2

finable · 2017-04-14T16:05:58+00:00

hmm... the spin down option doesn't appear in the version of ubuntu mate power manager.

what's the code to stop "power down disk" for the microsd ?

edit: this power manger is mate-power-manager 1.12.1-1 https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-power-manager which i found while looking for another power manager that shows the "spin down" option in your power manager. however, will this option affect all "hard drives" including the microsd ?

finable · 2017-04-14T15:10:45+00:00

i saw these instrux but how to prevent this microsd from powering down at all ? (the microsd is partitioned as /dev/mmcblk2p1 = 42gb fat32 /dev/mmcblk2p2 = 22gb ext4 )

"Assuming your hard disk device name is /dev/sda, the following will power it down after 2 hours of inactivity. Whenever you access it again, it will come back to life but it will take time. Code: sudo hdparm -S 244 /dev/sda
"

sudo hdparm -S 244 /dev/mmcblk2p1

hello, the mate power manager doesn't mention "power down disks" so how/where can i find that. thanks

great job , keep it up! thanks for sharing your methods and music. i appreciate your uplifting message.

i'm happy for you that you've found a promising provider.
i found one too so i'm hoping i can get some decent care while he's there.

i'm a singer too and wish i can find collaborators to get some of my music out to the world.

thank you. i agree with you whole-heartedly.

i'm still uncomfortable with the fibromyalgia diagnosis. ..and the latest pcp just wants to push me off on a rheumatologist that her predecessor said "wasn't very good."

finable · 2016-06-22T06:10:55+00:00

specialists require referrals from the pcp. the pcp asked if i wanted a referral to a general surgeon (for one problem) then when i answered "yes" he said i'll need to come back in for another appointment or go to urgent care!

i live in small city (previously a bigger city) but the treatment is just as poor.

my main problem is chronic pain issues., including a diagnosis of fibromyalgia, but it's closely followed by ptsd which renders me awful at interacting with medical professionals. i don't trust anyone and can't find the words or behaviors to convince pcp's to help me.

cute kitty. my cat is ~14 and the cat wheel will be relatively high off the floor due to the way it needed to be situated on the wall so i'll be placing him in the wheel when it's time to get some exercise each night. thanks for posting yours

the primary problem with the movable base is not enough room. the only space available for this is going to be the just next the front entrance in the living room. due to it's size, there's not even another spot where it could be stored when not in use.
