    Kohler San Raphael leak

    I have a 30+ years old Kohler San Raphael (4530) with a leak at the rim inside the bowl at the 7 o’clock position. Trickles all the time. Last summer I replaced all the guts with Kohler 1B1X 84499 parts. This trickle leak is fairly new. My past experiences with leaking or running has been from...

    Removing exhaust fan housing

    No attic. Flat roof. Since the housing is in useable condition I'll clean it up and go with a new motor and cover. The old motor is really gross. Thanks all.

    Removing exhaust fan housing

    Wife wants a new bathroom exhaust fan and I can't figure out how the housing is anchored. There are no screws to back out. I think it was installed, then the ceiling dry wall hung. Any suggestions? I'd be happy with just a cleaning and a new motor. The wife wants me to ask about a complete...

    Yes, black probe to the metal box, other probe on the screw. When I flip the garage door switch down the circuit breaker trips.

With the switch off (no ceiling light) the red wire is 122 v, the black is 0.0, and the disconnected white is 0.0. Flipping the switch to ceiling light on, the red and the black show 122...

    Switch tripping breaker

    Thank you for your reply. This laundry room light has worked off of two switches since the house was built. I haven't done any new wiring. I'm only trying to swap out the toggle switches with the new Levitron decora models my wife picked out. Are you saying this is an incorrect switch for the...

    Switch tripping breaker

    When I toggled the garage switch to down I thought I heard a spark inside the switch. Aren't my switches two way, on/off? Boxes that hold the switches are plastic. Should I change the wire on the new switch to black being opposite the ground screw and the red on the bottom?

    Switch tripping breaker

    Thanks. No wires were connected together. Old toggle (garage door)has a red wire at the top, opposite the ground screw. A black wire at the bottom. New switch has red wire at bottom, opposite the ground screw. A black wire at the top. (Of course rotating the switch puts the red at the top...

    Switch tripping breaker

    First, thanks to anyone who reads through this and offers some advice. Finishing up a laundry room remodel I installed a new ceiling LED fixture and a new Leviton decora wall switch. The ceiling light is controlled by two switches; one at the garage door (old switch) and one at the kitchen...
