    Safe to Remove Dryer Lockout?

    I popped off the handle tie and was able to move them both back to on position, but no juice. I cut them back off. Then again... File this under "things that would be helpful for you to know upfront": I had to remove the dryer's existing 4 prong connection and replace it with a 3 prong dryer...

    Safe to Remove Dryer Lockout?

    Thanks for the quick response. UNfortunately it (or something) is preventing it from being pushed into the on position. I can push it there, but it won't hold, just pops back to the middle position each time.

    Safe to Remove Dryer Lockout?

    We just bought a house that previously had a gas dryer installed. It's been removed, the gas line capped, and we're ready to hook up our electric dryer. The circuit breaker has a lockout installed over the dryer breakers (see attachment). My thinking - since the previous owner had gas...

    3 Way Switch power fails at Light

    for my neutrals - Power source 14-2 neutral passes to 14-3 neutral at first location (dimmer). At 3 way switch location, the 14/3 neutral then passes to the 14/2 neutral, which runs up to the lights. Make sense?

    3 Way Switch power fails at Light

    Thanks for the help so far...maybe a little more explanation will help. I re-checked this AM before heading to work, and I'm 90% certain I've got the dimmer and 3way switch wired correctly. When I check the volts with a 120v tester, it works fine when i toggle either the dimmer or switch...

    3 Way Switch power fails at Light

    Gentlemen...I've installed a new light. Poorly. The chain looks like this: Power source (14/2) -> 3 way dimmer -> 14/3 romex to standard 3 way switch -> 14/2 romex out to light fixture. The electricity runs through the chain fine until I screw in the light, which disrupts the power...

    Expansion Tank Installation

    I was able to find this previous post here: https://terrylove.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3476...still have a couple of novice questions. 1. Is it necessary to drain the water heater when installing an expansion tank? 80 gallons is a lot to discharge, and we're under severe drought...
