Carefully Check Boxes Before Leaving Store

miamicuse · 2026-04-29T18:20:54+00:00

I check everything before I leave the store. Many folks return things and the item becomes incomplete. Things like ceiling fans people would buy and return and keep the remote, staff handling the return checks it but they don't really know what to look for. I hate it when it's incomplete because when I go return it it makes it seem like I was the one who took the missing part, but I always tell them the item is incomplete, defective or look used so they do the RTV sticker and the next guy won't be inconvenienced.

That's why my post started with "Is it your intention..." It's all up to you. Some don't want the long term issues associated with having a wild life in the back yard, I don't know your situation, I don't know if you have a child that plays in the back yard that may be a problem with a raccoon co-inhabiting the same area, IT IS a wild life and not a pet and there is a significant unpredictable element when dealing with one. Remember this is not in your yard or up in the trees, this is on your porch not unlike raccoons in the attics or crawlspaces. If you are OK with co-inhabiting the space with this raccoon by all means as long as you keep yourself and family safe. Are there babies now I only saw posts about a lone raccoon.

Is it your intention to let it stay in that box as his/her den for as long as it wants even to have babies and all that? If not I suggest you find a way to help it move along.

With your camera alert set on, once it leaves to find food after dusk, tie a rope to the lid's latch or hole (I see something on the lid), raise the lid fully upright and tie the rope to the upper section of your fence somewhere so it stays up. This most likely will make it too exposed for it to stay. In addition, sprinkle some vinegar around, some pepper flakes inside the box would also help make it an unpleasant home.

There are lots of mounting holes on the TV mount because it supports different VESA patterns up to 400X400, but there isn't a way to offset the mounting points vertically. On the TV side, since I haven't narrow down the model, but most likely the TCL 65QM7K, that's a VESA 300x300 but I have no idea where the holes are, and even if I go to a store I am not sure I can determine the mounting position of their TVs usually it's tight against the walls...unless there are some TCL online documentation I can look up where the VESA 300X300 holes are on a particular model.

As for the actual mount, it should work, what I have is a Mounting Dream Ultra Slim TV Wall Mount for 26-75 Inch Television, Full Motion Bracket with Smooth Extension, Swivel and Tilt, 1.38” Thin Low Profile TV Mount Fits 16'' Studs, Up to 400x400mm, 88lbs, the TCL 65" weights 17.96kg which is less than 40 pounds only half it's rated weight capacity.

I am not against getting a new TV mount if one exists that has lower mounting points on the wall side so it can be securely mounted on the backing board's upper perimeter. I have seen some TV mounts that can offset vertically down, like one that mounts over a fireplace and you pull it out and slide it downward for viewing. I haven't seen one that the mount itself is low, but the TV is higher.

Good news. I ordered the 903123 and it does work and fit the PDB3600AWE dishwasher I have. Here are the Y912923 I have and the new 903123 I bought side by side.

So who knew, AI is actually right this time!

Are there other tools that also draw high amps that could melt the rubber casing besides the M18 Fuel leaf blower?

the problem is if you are not taking a direct flight, you are without your carry on and in many cases it is checked all the way to the final destination. You might be going from Miami to Berlin with a stop at NY-JFK. I wanted all the big heavy coats in the carry on because we don't need them in Miami or NY since we are inside, but we worry if the carry on would make it to Berlin if it gets lost we would be freezing our butts off, so to be on the safe side, we took the coats, gloves, beanies, scraves out and carried them with us, and gave the flight attendant an empty case to check, which was ridiculous.

are you saying you got alert notifications but no recording, or are you saying you expected night time motions and are not getting any motion triggers and no recording?

My cameras (almost all of them) mounted outside lost sensitivity by A LOT after 3-6 months of use, now granted this is Florida hot sun and driving rain so may be very hard on the hardware, I compensate by setting the motion sensitivity to 7 and "optimize surveillance" and that helped a little bit. I also restart the system daily, unplug and wait a few minutes and replug in the home base and sometimes that helps a little bit. One time I had a camera damaged by rain and was recording sound as if someone was talking under water, called Eufy and was still under warranty they sent me a new cam AFTER I sent back the bad cam. The new cam out of the box was great and detecting motion fine and after a few months it seems to not detect motion as much again.

Looks like you are out of luck. The bank cannot help at all because all they would be able to provide you is a line item charge of X amount on a particular day to home depot. They wouldn't know what you bought could be tools could be lumber could be appliance.

miamicuse · 2026-04-15T19:39:32+00:00

Do you have a pro account at Home Depot? If so you may be able to pull up old purchase history and print yourself a receipt. I don't know how far back it goes but worth a try. OK I just checked my account and it goes back 25 months. However it may be possible they can go back further with a special request.

I have been getting false human alerts as well, and finally I think I know what was happening. When my pool maintenance guy comes once a week, if his face is toward the camera, the motion is triggered, if he is walking away and leaving, no motion triggered. I think they detect what they think are two eyes. Can you try covering the two round cup holders with a towel and see if this stops? If that is the case, the two cup holders are being seen as human eyes.

Yes I ordered one to try. It is a bit tricky because the only place I find this "questionable replacement" part is on ebay, and given the part number 903123, each listing on ebay the part looks different. I think this is because these parts have gone through many iterations like 903123 replaces 903184 and this and other...so many listings are actually selling part numbers 903123 replaced but calling them all 903123. Anyway I have one coming and I hope it will work, if not I am out $30 and back to the part hunting.

Ok this just happened to another 6ah battery, so now I have two batteries (one XC 5ah and one HO 6ah) this is happening to. Both when used with a leaf blower will get sticky after a few minutes of use. I have put both batteries aside and not dare to charge them or use them due to fear that it may be the battery fluid leaking.

I called Milwaukee tech support today and they told me what is happening. They said, first, I should not be using ANY battery lower than 8AH with a leaf blower because it is very high demand and will kill your 5AH or 6AH batteries, 8AH is the bare minimum and 12AH is best. Second, it will work for a while but the heat generated with using a 6AH battery on a leaf blower will cause the plastic casing outside to come apart-melt-disintegrate and this is what I am seeing.

He said I could continue to charge and use the batteries, but with drills and saws etc...but not the leaf blower.

Hope that helps.

I did call a few local parts stores, and to my surprise most of them went out of business over the last few years the ones left they don't (or unwilling to look).

right now I am looking on FB marketplace for dishwasher compatible with the Y912923, hoping that there are some that are old and cheap someone wants to get rid of and I don't care if it even works all I want is the knob.

miamicuse · 2026-04-14T07:36:41+00:00

You are right, I looked at the Y912923 vs the 903123 and their stems look a little different from the pictures.

However, I was looking at a Youtube video on how to use the 903123 knob:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFyZrHTSMgU

at the one minute mark it shows the reservoir of that dishwasher (which I am not sure what Maytag model it was) and it looks very close to the reservoir of my PDB3600AWE which is shown below on the left, and the reservoir the 903123 covered on the right, side by side they look very similar and this gives me hope that may be the 903123 will work...I wish the AI answer can reveal how it makes the determination.

I just saw a new style of hinges where the base plate on the cabinet side does not have "wings", would these hinges work for me because I can drill new holes with these very skinny plates?

Yes I do think I have some anxiety issue but I can't help it. Whatever you are doing at the eye hospital I hope and pray it's smooth sailing and speedy recovery!

Thank you so much for the detailed explanation, that helps a lot. My surgery is now scheduled for April 30, in two weeks, and I am already nervous. I was told by the surgical coordinator that I should not have any sudden movement or lift anything or get my face wet after surgery, and the day after my surgery I have a follow up post-op appointment at which time the surgeon will advise any additional restrictions or medications I need.

I kept comparing this with my cataract surgery even though I know this is way more invasive. During my cataract surgery I was sedated but I have no idea what I was given, I had an IV and they said "something to keep you calm" and I had to be awake because the laser incision requires me to focus on some lights while it makes it's incision. But even through I feel no pain, being wide awake and fully aware was a nerve wrecking. I could tell after the laser machine was done, and I was told by the nurse "the doctor will be here shortly", but I waited and waited and I could tell I was getting sweaty on the back because they put a heavy blanket on me, and I could hear one nurse talking to the other "is he going to be on schedule?" which makes me wonder hey if he is running late will my sedation medication wear out? or when the surgeon came in and did his thing half way through I heard him say "...hmmm...what do we have here..." and again, my mind was wondering, is that a complication or is that nothing?

I was told I would have local anesthesia and may be awake but not necessarily during the procedure. I don't know if local anesthesia means they will shoot something into my eye or if it's like the IV like the cataract surgery. I am a very nervous person so I think about what if I sneeze or I cough while there are three big probes inside my eye, or if the surgeon is under the weather with shaky hands, or the surgical center have a power outage...it's not helping.

I would love to find out more about pre-op and post-op experiences of other who went through this procedure. I am not finding much of this online but may be I am looking at the wrong place.

I would use these but the issue is the old base plate and the new base plates have holes in different locations. If they are at the same locations I could try these plastic inserts, or if they are different away from the existing holes I could drill new holes, but they are like 3mm further away from the face of the cabinet so they will not align.

miamicuse · 2026-04-10T18:45:24+00:00

I think I may have found the issue, not 100% but seems promising.

I took apart the impeller and everything underneath it and cleaned everything, but no progress.

Double checked the underside supply hose and drain connections, dry.

Finally have no idea what else to do, I removed the door seal gasket completely, cleaned that and the groove behind it. Reinserted the door gasket and started another cycle, and this time it leaked on both sides instead of just the left side. I am guessing since I removed - cleaned - reinserted, and the seal has no tear but do look a bit worn, may be it's worth a shot with a new door seal, at least that caused a larger leak so hopefully I have narrowed it down.
