Folks, Please let me know if there are better Web forum(s) for this type of problem. Whirlpool WFG535S0LZ4: 5 burner gas kitchen stove. This stove is about 2 years old. The broiler lights, but does not get hot. The Whirlpool docs are nearly useless. I have tried Utube, with no luck so far...

Thanks guys! The PartSelect website had the schematic I needed. A Utube search using the Model # got me to a good tutorial. I just ordered the part. I will report back after the install. Thanks Again! Rog

Folks, Thanks for the responses. The fridge is about 5 years old. It's a side-by-side, with the freezer on the left. The icecube tray has a sensor (poorly) attached to the bottom of the tray. I am guessing that the senser is some sort of temp sensor. The sensor is held in place by 2 molded loops...

Hey, I am looking for an internet resource for appliance repair. Google wasn't much help. This website has always been a source for useful knowledge! Any help is appreciated. Thx, Rog Smith

Folks, Terry Love and this forum has helped me so many times over the previous 10+ years. My sympathy and condolences to the family. Does Terry, or the family, have a preferred charity? I would like to make a donation. Thanks, Rog Smith rfsmith48@gmail.com

A little bit of everything. This week I resealed a toilet. I graded, ground clothed and planted a small garden, etc. BTW: I am 74 and both knees have been replaced. I am looking for specific products and recommendations. Thanks! Rog

Hey, I need a recommendation for kneepads. The ones I have now are sloppy/stretched out, and the Velcro is tired. I am 6 foot, about 220 pounds. Thanks for the help! Rog

The furnace is a Lennox SL280UHV. Install instructions state: "...is compatible with any Lennox communicating thermostat. Or, Non-communicating thermostats - ComfortSense or other conventional thermostats." Not a lot of help (For me). I would like to use a Honeywell WIFI tstat. Thanks, Rog

Folks, We just had a new Lennox furnace installed. It has a 2 speed fan. The fan necessitated a thermostat upgrade for the new fan system. Previous Tstat: RTH8580WF1007: WIFI thermostat that I installed about 6 years ago. New Tstat: T6 Pro Thermostat: Programmable. I would like to replace the...

Hey Taylorjm, Thanks for the response. What is the furnace rating that addresses the ability of the furnace to support the square footage of a house? Our house is about 1800 sq ft. And is there a "rule of thumb" that is useful for comparing the furnace blower rating to the house size? Thanks...

Thanks, will do. Rog

Folks: I have a 50 year old house in Boulder CO. With a 50 year old gas furnace.... Heating degree days here are about 5600. The local utility has been promoting heatpump HVAC systems for homes. With rebate incentives. BUT....None of the local contractors I have talked with want to quote...

Folks, We have a 50 year old Lennox furnace that seems to be working fine. About a week ago, I checked and changed the hammock style air filter. I noticed some charred residue under the pilot light area. I don't remember seeing this condition before. I vacummed out the residue and closed up the...

Hey, Thanks for the response. Two of the blocked spray heads had loaded up the screens. Cleaned them up and everything works well. Thanks again! Rog
