Why is your dishwasher blowing the electrics?
The problem may not be the dishwasher. All dishwashers should be on its own 20 amp breaker and hard wired. Even portable units that use a plug should be on its own circuit line but often not. If the dishwasher is tied into other appliances or plugs, it can over load and trip the breaker. If this is the only you can run the dishwasher, shut the breaker off and see what else is turned off and avoid leaving them on while dishwasher is running. Hopefully it’s not the refrigerator!
How do I turn off a baseboard heater when there is no visible thermostat?
There is a thermostat somewhere, usually on the wall or on the heater itself. Just turn the breaker off at the breaker box. Label the breaker if it is not already labeled. Once the power is turned off to the unit, you can disconnect the wires inside the heater to permanantly shut down the unit.
Do you need to turn the power off at the box before installing a light?
That depends on your meaning. Are you talking about turning off the breaker when you screw in a new lightbulb or fluorescent tube? That isn't necessary, but it is a good idea to turn off the switch. If you're talking about installing a new light fixture, yes, you should always turn off the breaker or remove the fuse. Many electricians, if they are sure of what they're doing, will simply make certain that the light switch is turned off.
Did my dryer trip the breaker or vice versa when I turned the breaker back on but now the dryer won't work?
The dryer tripped the breaker. Have it repaired. Don't try to use it again. You could cause a fire.
What can you do if a new faucet was recently installed in the kitchen and the drain vent next to the faucet shoots like a geyser when the dishwasher is turned on?
My guess is your garbage disposer was also replaced and they forgot to knock out the plug before connecting the disposer hose/drain It sounds like you have a vacuum breaker on the drain for the dish washer. This is probably just a coincidence but your vacuum breaker needs to be replaced or repaired. It really has nothing to do with the faucet installation.
Why did electricity along the line go out when switch was turned on?
Bad switch or a short and tripped the breaker.
What could be the problem if a breaker trips when the light is turned off?
A short circuit in the wiring or in the switch.
Why is the dishwasher not filling with water?
I figured out there was an air bubble in the line. I had to unhook it from the bottom of the dishwasher and let some water flow through and then reconnect. That solved the problem. Is the filter clear? is the tap turned on? is it connected correctly?

Why do aluminum cookware turn black in dishwasher?
It may have something to do with the dishwashing powder or liquid used in the dishwasher.Since my first question in December on why aluminum turned black in the dishwasher, I have done further research. I was using Cascade which I have used for years. I switched to Finish which is made by the same company that makes Jet Dry. I then washed a different aluminum pan in the dishwasher and it was fine.I recently ADDED JetDry to my dishwasher--dispenser was empty for a long while. THREE aluminum pans turned black with Cascase tablets and JetDry. It's disgusting! Anyone have answers?
