20 yo heil package unit, NOT a heat pump, contactor is humming, not loud, but I thought the contactor was on it's last legs. It still works, but in checking I noticed it is a 2 pole 40a/24v. The oe replacement parts list shows a part number for a single pole, 35a, 24v. If I simply go by the...

Hello: I am hoping for repair advice on my gas package unit, PGAA60E1KG. It is old enough that when I needed to change the 230v blower motor 1 year ago, including a new cap, I was not surprised. The repair seemed uneventful. Now, 1 year later, I smelled oil in the vents. I inspected outside...

My condenser fan motor failed. 1) Is it ok to change an open frame body to a closed frame? The universals all seem to be closed. Specs are compatible. 2) The shaft is longer than the original. If it still fits, does the excess beyond the blade need to be cut off? I have heard that several inches...

I am considering a sharkbite flex hose 3/4 to connect a water heater. I have seen braided steel and corrugated steel options. What is the difference?

I have a 30 yo delta single handle kitchen sink sprayer and have just done a routine parts replacement for a dripping spout. I am curious if the diverter valve for the sprayer, not part of the kit, is the same part for delta single handle kitchen sink sprayer regardless of the age of the faucet...

My Kitchenaid garbage disposer unit is 30 yo and has an old style 3 screw under sink mount with 2 tabs that pivot over a lip. It is not the newer style rotating ring, and an old school plumber has probably seen this mount. To disconnect, am I supposed to loosen the screws and pivot the tabs...

I have a leak around the packing nut of the faucets that feed my washing machine. I have tried to tighten the packing nut, which worked on the hot but not the cold faucet. They are 28 yo and I have to shut off the whole house water to work on them, so I don't want to damage something and have no...
