Whirlpool Window Air Conditioner Resources:

check the thermostat switches, did some one turn it off to change the filter . check for a switch in the furnace , there's one for fan only. turn the circuit breaker off push it to the off side , then turn it back on,

All of those things. An air conditioner has a compressor which is a pump, (steel, iron, plastic, aluminum, copper) a motor to drive it (steel, iron, aluminum, copper, other alloys), copper or aluminum tubing to carry freon, coils to condense and evaporate the freon (aluminum or copper), steel sheet metal, plastic housings and knobs, etc. You'd have to get a BOM (bill of materials) to really cover everything.

did some one close the diverters in your vent tubes? check to see if they are open. if not you can open them with the little handle. but in order for your house hvac system to be balanced (air flowing into all rooms) you will have to call in a tech.

Your first problem has nothing to do with your second problem. This thing has been in for a year and never had this problem? Only one explanation, you have something blocking the duct on that side of the plenum. Maybe something dead. Damndest thing I ever heard of. I guess you COULD have a problem with your drive, but since you put it in yourself, you would know if it wasn't operating properly.

Hmm, maybe I'm misreading this. Did YOU build the house or did you have someone build it for you? If you had it built for you, someone really dropped the ball on the HVAC. No one competent would ever mess up a drain install like that. Anyway, the system is probably not balanced correctly or it is a zoned system and you have something shutting off that side of the supply. Or the return is blocked on that side. I tell ya, this is weird. No matter though, any decent installer will come back within 5 years of install for free. But it doesn't sound like you hired a decent guy if he messed up the drain that bad.

The only other thing I can think of is that your drive motor is stuck in low speed AND the system is really poorly balanced. Then again, you would have noticed a problem a long time ago if this was the case.

--EDIT--
Yeah, what B-Notable said. You could have had a piece of duct insulation fall down. I didn't even think of that because I've NEVER had it happen. If that is the problem, there are two ways to fix it and neither one is very DIY friendly.

Fixing the drain issue was great it will stop the unit from rusting early but that's not your problem. An air handler that is sweating all over is a sign that the evap coil is too cold. Either it is partially iced up due to low airflow or low refrigerant charge or dirty filter or dirty evap coil, or there is a blockage in the duct do to dampers being blown shut, loose insulation blown down the duct. One thing to look for is some units come with a factory installed filter in the ahu, if you also have a filter in the return grill this will cause low airflow especially over time as the filter at the ahu gets dirty.

Hope this helps.

I agree with B-notable.

I was going to say you probably knocked something loose or hit a balancing damper and it closed when working down there.

Then I realized... the air flow problem happened FIRST! That is why it started frosting up on you. The excess moisture was a separate problem and likely made it frost up faster but was not the cause.

Yes, you have a blockage. You just have to look at your system and how far along the system you lost the air to determine which section the blockage is located.

And I hate to say it could also be a critter that tore up your insulation in the duct and made a nest blocking it.

And those dampers for balancing usually have what looks like a very large wingnut and a pointer on them. So look for that. Generally that pointer points in the direction of the flapper. Across the duct is closed, parallel, in the direction of flow, is open. Similar logic to some water or gas shutoffs.

Good Luck.

You need a lawyer. Lots of luck. It seems the law on these matters tends to side with the renter trash.

Your best bet is to evict them for non-payment of rent and then sell the house. The odds are that they probably won't qualify for a mortgage to buy the house from you and you certainly don't want to hold an owner-financing note from them.

Cut your losses now (although this is likely to lose you the friendship).

Depends on what the contract both sides signed, and the laws of your state. Since both of these variables are unknown, no one on YA can answer your question with facts, we can only guess.

You need to bite the bullet and go see an attorney. It will cost you money, but what will loosing your rental cost you?

My best guess is you still own the property and they are renters at this time. You need to evict them, repair the damage and turn the house over to a rental agency that screens renters, so you will have income and tax breaks while you wait for a qualified buyer.

I'm not sure what the law is in your area or what your lease agreement looks like. What money are you trying to get back? If its the amount you've paid on the unit you're out of luck since they're only responsible for paying the rent. It sounds like the only thing to do would be to serve them an eviction notice, but again I'm no expert. Get a lawyer, Y!A can only help you so far.

Second response is correct in every detail. Evict them, clean the place up, and then try to sell it.

You don't want the property back?

You never sold it in the first place. You have some serious losers renting it.

You need to evict them and try again, this time all business, no loser friends.

You can not retrieve any money, other then unpaid rent.

If it's rent to own, I believe you still have the ability to go to your local court and file an eviction notice against them. Usually it's a 7 day notice to pay or move, and then if they still have not paid or moved, you would proceed with getting a court ordered eviction notice of 30 days. on the 30th day if they have not moved out, they then receive a 24 hour notice to move, or the local sheriff department can come and remove them from the property, and remove their belongings to the street.

It can be a time consuming process, so I would act quickly if I were you.

Where is this house located at? My husband and I are looking to relocate out of our state, and $400.00 is very affordable...

email us if interested. dennisordiway@gmail.com

Most of the other answers here are pretty much correct. I'm not a lawyer, so this isn't legal advice. However:

Attempt to evict them. Any lawyer in that jurisdiction can handle that. In fact, a lot of owners handle their own evictions. But try the eviction process.

The reason I say "try" to evict them is that, if you're doing a "rent to own" (or lease option, or lease purchase, or something similar), then you've granted your tenant-buyers equitable interest in the property. Even though they haven't purchased, their right to purchase gives them equitable interest. That means they could argue (doesn't sound like they're smart enough to, but they could) that you have to foreclose on them, not evict them. And that's a much longer and more expensive process.

Some of the technicalities do depend on what was contained in the lease document and the option document. (From your perspective, they should have been two entirely separate documents, with the lease document not referring to the option at all. That's the way to properly do it.) And obviously the eviction process (if you can get by with an eviction) depend on your state and county or city regulations. And the option should have specified that it was null and void if the provisions of the lease weren't adhered to.

By the way, if there's a mortgage on the property, do not inform the mortgage holder of the rent-to-own arrangement. Back to equitable interest, what you did violates the due-on-sale clause, and gives your lender the right to call the mortgage due and payable immediately. Realistically, that's not likely to happen. But they do have that right.

Despite the problems you've run into, and the comments I've made, I'm actually a big supporter of lease-options. It's just that they have to be done correctly.

So, evict. Then decide what you want to do. Incidentally, not a pitch, but if you don't want the property back, I probably know an investor in your area who'd be willing to consider purchasing the property. But that's for you to decide. First thing is: Get them out.

Hope that helps.

It sounds like your a/c compressor clutch might be blown or worn out. When you turn your A/C on the compressor clutch engages and your engine drive belt turns the a/c compressor. If the clutch is worn out it is going to be noisy.

it sounds like the clutch in the compressor.

Its alot harder than it sounds.
What about city codes and permits?
Maybe you could replace all the breakers and the breaker box?
Consult an Electrician.
Ask what is a cheap fix & what to replace.
Usually estimates are free.

Probably more than it is worth. A wiring job from1950 should be basically sound. What I would do is to either install central air (a good idea in Texas!), or run separate lines to dedicated outlets for the window units. This would be a lot cheaper than trying to completely rewire the whole place.

then the switch is bad or some dirt as got into where the switch rest and it dont make contract any more might be able to pull it a part and clean it but most likely the switch is going

it sounds like the fan switch is out or the fan motor one or the other take a test light check the wiring 1 wire at a time on back of switch togle the switch from low to high if it lights up there it is your motor good luck

If cleaning the switch fails (when are cleaning it, spray the sliding circuits with silcon-lube, avail at any electronics shop) check the fan resistor.

It's a switch doo-dad that runs directly off the motor housing. They tend to quit working in alot of Chryslers.

Your problem is that the blower resistor module, located inside the HVAC plenum ( it actually mounts into the plenum from outside - usually 2 screws and 4 wires ) has burned out. It is about a $15 item and should be less than an hour to replace. It may be accessible above the passengers foot well, in front of the glove box, or from under the hood. In any case it will be located quite close the the fan assembly.

A bad switch might affect one speed, a blown fuse will prevent the blower from operating at all, only the resistor assembly takes out all of the speeds other than high!

If your cooling coils froze over from the condensation on them, the A/C would not be as efficient cooling the house.

When the Ice melts, it could possibly be more than the condensation drain could handle and create a puddle in the attic. If that happened, you would see the water damage in the ceiling below the A/C unit.

Otherwise, without going up and physically inspecting it, you don't have much to tell if it is freezing over.

Sometimes it is hard to tell if you're a/c is freezing up, especially if it is only partially frozen. You will definitely notice lower performance/longer running times and possibly reduced airflow out of your a/c vents if you can feel them. If it is severely iced up the system won't cool at all and you can look at the larger of the copper pipes on the outside unit and it will most likely have ice on it. The best thing to do is turn the system off as this could damage the compressor if run this way for long periods. At that point you need to call for repair as there are several things besides a dirty filter/coil that can cause this. A/C air handling units installed in attics require a secondary emergency drain pan underneath them to catch any overflowing water but they don't always work perfectly. There should be a second drain line for this pan and it is supposed to exit the attic in an obvious place so if water comes out of it you will see that there is a problem. It might come out of the ceiling in the garage or out of the soffit outside above a door or window. You will recognize it as a 3/4" pvc pipe sticking down about an inch or so. I have seen many homes that have water damaged ceilings from air handling units either icing up or getting a clogged drain. Filters are cheap change them once a month for the cheap ones and every other month for the pleated type.

on trash day

No. They are thermostatically controlled. They will stop cooling once they reach that temp. It will cool the room faster.

No.

You must tell them you're offended and if they continually repeat it, you could have a case for hostile work environment.

Are you Jewish?

HR should be contacted first

Maybe if you're Jewish.

You might talk to them about how that offends you before making a federal case out of it.

Sometimes people just need to let things go.

Got any evidence?

Because it was a personal conversation... that might hurt your case.

Lol. Jews do tend to be cheap. I dated a half jewish guy one time. He was an accountant and made 70k a year but insisted on taking me to the McDonalds.

No, sorry, but you don't have any proof.

I think that is totally offensive. Don't know if you have a legal case though. Talk to an attorney.

I doubt it! Sorry! And if you try and sue, good luck finding another job afterwards :o(

I'd think so. Talk to a lawyer. I threatened to sue an employer one time for using the term (Nigger rigging). There is no need for terms like these. They are just hurtful and mean. Good day and God Bless.

Only if you are Jewish and can get it one tape.

If you do that make sure and make some complaints to cooperate 1st about nonspecific details, it will help them just pay you off...

You will have an easier time too if it looks like you have been treated differently.

That's appalling. If I heard anyone say that I would definitely call them on it. Nobody should have to put up with that. If they continue doing it, start making a note of the time and date, and yes, ultimately you might have a case.

You might also, first, want to remind these people that this type of 'harmless' anti semitism resulted, finally, in the Holocaust.

edit to NYMPHOMORON

When you say 'jews are cheap' and then show you base this on ONE Jew, you show yourself to be a bigoted little fool. Grow up.

Unlikely, unless they knew you were Jewish and were clearly making the remark so that you'd be sure to overhear. However, assuming the company is large enough, there is probably a procedure in place for making anonymous complaint to HR. If this is a frequently-occuring problem, file the complaint. If no action is taken and the behaviour continues, then possibly you might have actionable legal recourse - just do so with the realization that you may be bidding farewell to any chance of advancement with that company. Unless you have a spotless record and history of excellent performance reviews, proving retaliation for your lawsuit is tough...

For what?

It's a bad choice of words but.....

The "Amendments" only apply to Government.

Your "case" would consists of first informing the employer of any grievous actions (giving notice).

If the actions repeat (and you were allowed to keep your job), then a complaint could be filed.

A lot of work if you ask me.

You should complain formally, and make sure it is written and put in
your employment files. Only if this is a continuing situation that you repeatedly complain formally about will anything get done. But be prepared...you could get fired b4 it gets to the point where you can do anything about it.

1. You do not have to be Jewish. The law asks if a reasonable person would find the behavior offensive. The case as you describe has many precedents, so it would pass that test.

2. You do not have to have the conversation recorded. You simply need corroberation which in this case would probably not be too hard. Since it was a conversation, it is unlikely that both your bosses would lie under oath. To conspire to commit perjury is a felony and almost always resulting in jail time.

3. While you have legal options, you have to ask yourself is it worth it. You would first have to take steps available to you by going to Human Resources. If Human Resources then refused to act would you then probably have a case worth pursuing. So while you could retain an attorney, that would be costly and at this point would probably only result in you being guaranteed not to be fired from a job working with managers that don't like you.

My advice would be to first (if you are comfortable doing so) talking to the manager that used the phrase "Jew down'" and let him/her know that you found the term offensive. If they dismiss you ,continue the behavior, or you do not feel comfortable talking to the manager, you then go to both Human Resources or that persons manager. If after that it has not been resolved to your satisfaction or you then feel that you are the object of reprecussions from your complaining, then by all means consult an attorney.

edit: Do not be worried about being fired after starting the process. While most states consider employment "at-will" unless otherwise specified, you would have ample grounds for a wrongful termination suit where the damages could be far in excess of your lost salary.

Hey.. Somebody just asked the yahoo query like yours and I provided following link. It looks cool to me

you got a lot going on at once.
the car willl not start. but does the battery turn over the starter motor?? vigorously?
You could have run down the battery some how or maybe its an old one and ready to crap out---you tell me.
Maybe the battery cables are the problem. Here--read this post I did awhile ago--it explains what to look for:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=20080605162234AARQ731

Put any thing over the window--just get out the duck tape.

Anyone who would attempt to diagnose noises from your description is only guessing. The AC problem could be caused by low freon, a compressor going bad or a number of other things. The best bet is to let a competent and trusted mechanic diagnose them properly.

the first problem the one about the air conditioner it might need some Freon fluid and it called also as cfc liquid .
and the second problem it might be the gear box or the cooler and oil. go to the Performance shop to check it urgently.

Noise might be a slipping belt inside one of your tires. Go to a respectable tire shop and have this looked into. Low freon level would cause the other problem. Why not just go to a Mitsubishi dealer and ask them about this. They should know your particular car better than anyone!

This is just one but there all sorts of them (although the wireless are easier to find).

http://www.nextag.com/SONY-MDR-NC6-Noise-572651501/prices-html

Also, with respect to your interference problem, note that the wireless kind cover all sorts of frequency ranges. You can get 900 Mhz, 2.4 Ghz, blue tooth, and there are probably other types out there I am forgetting.

For me, going to a wired headset would be a real pain and I think my solution would be to try other types of wireless headsets (making sure they allow you to return them) and see if they work in your situation.

There's no way to guarantee that you can get out of the lease without knowing the termination language and how it's written. Leases are written to protect the LL and not the tenant, chances are none of the items you list are considered reasonable excuses to get out of your lease with the complex. Parking is definately not one of them that's a risk you take, poor ventillation, the AC bill etc. If your unit was rendered uninhabitable then yes, you'd have a legal and legitimate reason to break your lease, the items above are not them. If someone is breaking into your mailbox and stealing your mail then have it routed to a secure mailbox at the post office, also you need to report this to the post office so they can do something about it, it's called mail theft and it's illegal.

The landlord can and will make you pay thru the end of the lease term if you break it. You could be liable for a lot more too.

Your only option is wait until you've reached the end of your lease give appropriate notice and move.

You CANNOT break the lease for the following reasons:

#1, 2 & 9 are issues for the police. Landlord needs at least 2 police reports to evict and also must give offending tenants a notice to cure (in other words, give them x amount of days to correct their behavior.)
#3 is a landlord/tenant issue. Is this "poop box" in a tenants apt or in a common area? If in an apt, the landlord needs to issue a notice to the tenant to fix the problem.
#4 is a federal issue with the post office. Without knowing who is breaking in, the landlord cannot do much. He can fix it, however if it keeps getting broken into on a continual basis, I would get a p.o. box.
#5 is a personal issue. If the apts you live is not a smoke free building, there is nothing you or your landlord can do about someone smoking in their own apt.
#6 & 7 is also a personal issue. Regardless if its outdated. If it works, it fine. If the landlord repairs it when it breaks, its fine.
#8 is also a personal issue. If there is no assigned parking spaces, then anyone can park there. There is nothing you can do about it, except park where there is a space.
Sorry, but all these issues and complaints do NOT warrent you getting out of the lease. Most of these are complaints are not something a landlord has the responsibility for. Only #3 is an issue for the landlord to personally address and fix.
Sorry. But you cannot easily get out of your lease for these reasons.

Only a judge can decide if these are ground for you to break your lease, and since nothing you state is a habitability issue....you have no case.

try and help the tank ventilate or have more ventilation or sit it in the sun so it can dry out. or take it out and use eco-earth is what i recomend

Put your gecko in another tank and let your existing tank sun dry outside for a day without a lid. This should take out some of the moisture....also, try taking some of the substrate out. You probably only need about an inch or less.

What type of enclosure are you using? Fish tanks are designed very securely and don't let moisture escape! You could try mixing the substrate with a dryer substance or not misting it as much. you could also try putting more heat on it with some dry substrate so that it soaks it up and evaporates it. I have never had this problem so forgive me if my ideas suck!

:)

in a bowl pu sillica ( the white packets you get in packages too keep it dry) and put all the packets in a peanut butter can and drill holes in the top to keep the gecko out.

V these things V also put salt in the can.

http://www.protecpac.com.my/Desiccant_packets.jpg

Probably algae. The stains are likely just dried algae, and should vacuum up easily.

It was probably a mixture of wet mold/mildew, dust and salts from the air, and possibly corrosion components from the fins of the heat exchanger. Algae is possible if it was receiving sufficient light.

Most newer window a/c units do not drain and are made to hold water. They do provide a drain plug for places where the humidity is very high but removing the plug will lower the efficiency in hot climates.

The fan in the rear has a ring around it called a slinger. This picks up the water and splashes it on to the hot condenser coils making it cool better. So theoretically it has no need to drain like the old ones.

But holding water is normal and you need to dump it out when you remove the unit, but you know that now. :-(

You can spray a cleaner in there to prevent the algae from returning. But don't use anything too caustic or you will rust it out.

Good Luck.

Let it grow. The longer the hair, the less tight are your curls.

For the frizz - I suggest Frizz Ease, it's their specialty ya' know.
http://www.otcwholesale.com/frizzease-10725.html
And for the windswept problem,just brushing it routinely should keep it the way you want.
Otherwise, it sounds like you're taking pretty good care of you hair.
In your own manly way that is ;)

shampoo then condition.
brush it a lot.
love it.
sleep on silk pillows.

Well, I'de suggest putting some anti-frizz creme/serum in your hair after you get out of the shower.[Salon brand are best -- but the cheaper stuff will work.] Oh & this time you should towl dry your hair instead of "man-style". haha.

As for the windswept look, I find nothing wrong with that, it sounds cool. :) But if you want it straight then invest in a flat-iron.

Hope you tame your main! [Is it just me or does that sound riduculous?]
