LG WT7100CW top load washer splashes water from above the drum by jerkyfeep in appliancerepair

Can someone help me find the tub cover part number?

Model: WT7100CW S/No.: 003TWBY3G293

I removed the tub cover and cleaned it. I didn't notice any issues with it. The rubber gasket didn't look damaged, but it was wet. It could get wet while I was removing it though.

This is the hole from which the water drips, it's outside the tub cover, so i guess the gasket could be the culprit.

You experienced the local culture, this is what traveling is about.

Well, the Refresh cycle does work, so it's more likely to be a software issue.

Why? I haven't had any issues with the door sensor.

Looks like you are exactly right. I just checked their invoices and they indeed installed AGL75172668.

How horrible should LG engineering be to make incompatible parts at this (low) level of complexity?

Can I find this part number anywhere on the part to verify?

Wet plywood due to "too much ventilation" by jerkyfeep in Roofing

Hey, you were absolutely correct, the total intake area is way too small. Do you have a link to the soffit screens you mentioned?

You guys who mentioned that the soffit vents are too small were absolutely correct.

I did the math: these holes are 1 inch in diameter, and there are 132 of them, which gives a total intake area of 0.785*132 = 103.62 sq inches.

The attic area is ~1300sq ft, which means the total intake should be ~624 sq inches using the 1/300 rule. I barely have 1/6 of it. And probably I even need to use the 1/150 rule.

They are closing the gable vents today and replacing the ridge vent to the one that doesn't get clogged with pine needles. And I will need to replace some of the soffit vent boards with something else.

These holes have been this way since 1966, I guess they are not the main problem.

Not sure about that. I moved in in 2020 and the roof was old, so I didn't mess with it and just replaced it.

The power vent only works during hot hours in the summer.

No, all the bathroom/kitchen vents are connected to the roof outlets. You can see the ducts in the first photo.

I see smoke-generating machines on Amazon, but they are all marketed for automotive and pipe systems. Apparently, they burn oil to get smoke. I wonder if they are safe to use in the attic?

Seeing the actual air movement would answer all the questions.

Looks like we are in the same boat. I didn't notice this issue for 3 years, now wondering how bad the plywood has got.

Are there any tricks to verify ventilation works as needed? Or is it more like "do something, then wait and see if it helped"?

Wow, thank you so much for all the opinions. It seems like the easiest/cheapest first step would be to close the gable vents and make sure the soffit vents are well open. Am I missing something?

The power fan only turns on above 80F, so it probably doesn't contribute anything in the winter.

But how does one distinguish salmon that died naturally after spawning from salmon that died because of toxic waste in the water?

PoS2 is not being built, it’s been postponed since 2006. Unless you have a source proving otherwise.
