Now if there is any suggestion to get family members to not put stuff in the disposal, that'd be great.;)

Was able to rotate top part by hand using the 2 hooks/clips on there. it is working now, though making a strange shredding noise. perhaps will wait for a day or two to see if anything that was stuck gets loose and goes down the drain.

This disposal is only a few years old though family members who don't listen and still put things are much older, wish i could do something about that How to rotate the top part?

Hello, In-sink-erator Garbage disposal hums but will not start. Used Allen wrench and the bottom wheel rotates nicely. Hit red reset button several times. Seems something might be stuck at that top portion. How to try to rotate the top part to see if that frees it up. Is it what is called a...

Hello, With teens in the house, it's always a mystery how stuff breaks since no one sees or hears anything :D Noticed shower diverter is bent now. What's the best way to proceed? Can I take off diverter screw from bottom without turning off water? and then see if perhaps its only a cartridge...

Glad things are sorted. Written communication sometimes is hard :) I will keep this board updated so that others could check this issue before going the costly route of replacing Gas Valve, the one for my model costs $200

In post 12 I'd mentioned that As soon as I put the cover back, the pilot light goes out as the cover touches wires and thermcouple and might messes up the position. That didn't happen after post #15. Pilot lit up, we put cover back etc. And it seemed to work. Raised temp this morning to listen...

Checked water heater seems to be working fine Raised temp of water and burner came on immediately, turns off immediately when water temp lowered. Will keep the forum informed so if this is really a fix then people can look into this before replacing Gas Valve etc.

He was doing something else and took a look at this for a nominal additional charge since he was already here. No warranty... This is a 18 year old heater and I have no home warranty. Might think of it since house is 18 years old and apart from roof, toilets, dishwasher, microwave, washer and...

I'd been looking at this with the repairman. With all the wiggling I was doing, he finally figured that the connection between thermocouple and gas valve wasn't getting tight enough. So he took it off, dropped the nut a few threads, wrapped some wire around the connection above the nut and then...

Hello, I have a Bradford White Model - MI5036FB - Gas Water heater. I had thermocouple replaced with a BW OEM thermocouple. Same issue as before, pilot lights up when switch depressed and goes out as soon as I release the switch, even after keeping it pressed for over 3 min. before having it...

noise happens at Only One faucet, only when its turned on. need to investigate if this happens with both cold and hot water supply. update - yes the noise happens with both cold and hot water. it is mild grinding noise that goes away after few seconds. Now this is the same bathroom, the only...
