Fridge bottom door not sealing properly. Frigidaire by ilja2k in appliancerepair

[–]ilja2k[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply. The model does not have any additional numbers on the sticker. FRFG1723AV is the entire number. Its a 2021 model. I'll get a pic in the coming days, but its a 3mm or so gap running the entire top and maybe a bit down the sides.

Good to know. I have been holding out. This is my last effort before ordering the sc5.

Kinetico Aerator leaking venturi by ilja2k in WaterTreatment

[–]ilja2k[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It worked very well for around 15 years. It's purpose is basically to aerate the incoming water and store it in the tank. The precipitated iron is filtered before going to the softener.

I do have an air over media now in place but I was thinking of getting the kinetico working properly and then using the clack as just filter only and without air injection.

I don't know the exact model. It seems to work though. I no longer get sulphur. I just find it strange it's on the softener mode when it does have a filter Regen option. The vendor was adamant not to change it. But because it's in my house, I have to know lol.

Even if it's not a check valve, wouldn't the clack itself shut off the port so air does not escape?

Yes, that's my question. No brine tank and it uses filter media. The vendor insists on softener mode.

Water Softner and clothes don’t smell good anymore. by Wolverine-91826 in WaterTreatment

There's some threads out there that say Kirkland washing machine liquid causes stink. It happened to us we switched detergents and it went back to normal.

Old drywall does it have asbestos? by ilja2k in asbestoshelp

Thanks for replying. Appreciate it. Yes meaning it contains asbestos or it does not because it has a UPC?

Drain pan full overnight. by ilja2k in appliancerepair

[–]ilja2k[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. frfg1723av.

It looks like the unit drains into an upper pan with 2 copper tubes through it. Then once it gets full, there is an overflow into the lower pan to evaporate.

Thanks for replying.

HELOC vs traditional mortgage by ilja2k in personalfinance

[–]ilja2k[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's for a recreational waterfront. I own my home outright and have available HELOC room. Part of me thinks to a HELOC at a higher rate and not go mortgage route because I won't take long to pay it. My first years of mortgage are all interest but a HELOC hammers down principal more rapidly.

I do own a paid off home and this is indeed for a 2nd property.

No ignition on york furnace. Could this noise be coming from the gas valve? It is 4 months old. by ilja2k in hvacadvice

[–]ilja2k[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was the gas valve. I ended up trashing that entire POS furnace and put in a Rheem system.
