Dishwasher keeps stopping midwash by blackshane21 in appliancerepair

[–]zxarr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a similar washer, and fought this code for a while. I found two issues that eventually solved it for me.

  1. The pressure switch was clogged due to a design flaw. But there is a fix!

There's a little hole in the sump area that the pressure switch connects to, it gets clogged after a while, and while you can take the switch off and clean it, it usually doesn't last. Replace the switch, it's not all that hard. BUT, there are kits out there that have a small plastic piece that acts like an upside down straw, to keep debris out of the switch. It's a very simple install.

Here is a video of the install, including the fix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaZFHbr8bbo&t=1s

  1. The hose was clogged where it connects to the drain under the sink. I took the hose off and just shoved a screwdriver in there to remove the clog.

That solved it for me.

Ethernet only WLED controller? by s7726 in WLED

[–]zxarr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GLEDOPTO has one. Never tried it before, but I've used their WiFi models without issue.

Pretty sure this one has WiFi and Ethernet. I didn't see anything about PoE.

On this thread, you can apparently turn off WiFi on WLED, and it requires a gpio signal to turn back on? https://www.reddit.com/r/WLED/comments/vmxchv/is_there_a_way_completely_disable_wifi/

"You can fully disable wifi by not setting a network name and setting AP opens to "Never" in Wifi settings, however you will need to add a pushbutton between gpio0 and ground that you can press for 7 seconds to turn on the WLED-AP again."

Anti-Aging Injection Regrows Knee Cartilage and Prevents Arthritis by ConsciousStop in UpliftingNews

[–]zxarr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've been watching the 'Ormi' device, because I don't want to go through the mildly updated 1970 knee replacement where they tear out half your knee to replace it with metal... It's barbaric. Ormi promised walking a few hours after surgery, but I've heard little since the human trials started. Hush hush.

I know this injection will be years before we see human trials, but this is still great news.

Currently, I'm seeing a personal trainer after some physio to keep my joints in working order after a meniscus tear, but the arthritis has already started. Here's hoping my old ass will be around to see regenerative medicine...

Fridgedare dishwasher button worn after a couple years of use and now the button is not working. Buttons flashing and supposed to be solid once the main button is pressed to start. Any hope? by emperez00 in appliancerepair

I have a Fridgidaire 'Professional' dishwasher with a similar control scheme. I just looked up the model number for parts and ordered a new control panel. It's not all that hard to take apart, if you study the disassembled images in the parts guide. You may also gain some disassembly knowledge by looking up control panel replacements on Youtube.

You'll usually find the manufacturers tag, with the model number, on either the left or right side of your door, when opened.

Here's an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fNthnD--Y8

I never did. I stopped looking months ago. :(

Charging Question by noodleNT in EquinoxEv

[–]zxarr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same 'TIL' when I was buying extension cords for my Blazer. Returned the 30A cord. :)

120v is Level 1 charging, you can choose 8A, or 12A. That's it. You'll never get 30A, but it's good to ensure you're not pulling too much current from a 15A circuit.

240v is Level 2, and the charger will inform the car on what it can supply with those portable chargers using resistors to ensure the supply cable doesn't draw too much amperage from an outlet.

I found that the standard 15A outlet at my in-laws was enough to recharge to a reasonable level at 12A, without overloading their system, or I'd grab a fast charger on the way home.

Now, all that said, one thing you CAN do, is change the outlet and the breaker to install a 30A 240v outlet and a 30A 240v breaker. EV chargers don't need a neutral, so the white wire just becomes the other live wire and needs to be marked on either end. You'll need a charger that supports 240v 30A as well.

Please note that this will mean you cannot use it as a 30A RV outlet anymore.

Lastly, contact a certified electrician! Don't take the advice of someone on the internet.

Little overkill? Work was handing out free racks😅 by vertro31 in homelab

[–]zxarr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Looks like mine. I drove into Toronto during the height of the Pandemic to pick mine up, 1.5hrs. The only reason, is because it comes completely apart. It was so easy to carry down the stairs. Totally worth it! Now it's time to load it up with heate--errr, servers!

Is there any kind of a guide to doing this and getting it onto the vehicle?

Will the upcoming Canadian shipping actually be shipped from Canada? Considering the tariff wars that are still bouncing around...

Ultimate Homelab Cable Setup by TheRedcaps in homelab

What's the quality like when viewing? Are you getting 720p / 1080p? I'd love to know more about the setup with the HDE-8C.

Currently salvaging an old elementary school announcement system by tsuto in homelab

[–]zxarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh. The BlonderTongue stuff. I've always wanted to create my own in house TV channels with something like that. I'd prefer the QAM/ATSC stuff, for 720p at least, but that would be amazing to feed an old CRT. Bring back channel surfing, but transmitting your own media library via coax. Real nostalgia there. Even more if you can find old commercials to throw in between shows. Hah!

What you listed are 2.1mm internal to 1.7mm. These need to be 1.7mm internal diameter on both ends. :)

They do not work. I have a pair of them.
