It is not recommended practice. Code calls for separate circuits for major appliances. Both devices might run for a while, but the time will come when both devices are on at the same time. This will cause an overload on the wiring and the breaker will trip.

How do you replace the defrost termination thermostat on a Kenmore Refrigerator?

It depends on the model. Some don't have a defrost heater at all, only a timer. On models with a heater, it's either mounted to the evaporator, or actually woven into the evaporator. You'll need to gain access to the evaporator coils - they're typically at the back of the freezer covered by a panel of some sort. If it's mounted to the coils, then you may be able to replace it yourself. Also, the heaters rarely go bad - check the defrost termination thermostat as well. If it's near freezing, it should be closed (allowing power to flow to the heater). If it's above freezing, it should be open (cutting power to the heater).


Does the temperature of a freezer remain the same when hot water is put in it?

Yes, it remains same


Can a freezer be on same circuit as sub pump?

No, a sump pump should be its own circuit and although it's not code, you should also have your freezer on it's own circuit. If they were on the same circuit it would most likely trip the breaker or blow the fuse. This could result in a wet basement and the food in the freezer thawing out!


Can you plug into the same outlet a 115 volt freezer and a full size dryer?

for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.Actually, based on actual application experience, because of load diversity you can use both these appliances on the same circuit. It should be a 20 amp circuit because all kitchen branch circuits are required to be 20 amp. In other words the chance of them both running at the same time are slim and even if they do both appliances together pull about 16 amps.


How do you install a 120V outlet allowing the top plug to be controlled from a switch on the wall?

There is a "lug" that connects the top part of the plug to the bottom. One side will be brass, the other will be silver. The brass side should control the "hot" side of the plug, and the silver side will be the "neutral" side of the plug. New plug outlets all come equipped with lugs that can be "snapped off" by bending them. Don't bother with the neutral side, even if the plug is switched the neutral needs to remain connected to the same place. Once you've taken care of the hot lug, connect the bottom half of the plug to the original "hot" wire and connect the switch leg WHITE wire to the same place. The BLACK wire of the switch leg should go to the TOP (switched) side of the outlet. If you need a diagram, send me an e-mail and I'll give you a simple drawing.

Can a refrigerator and a chest freezer be on same circuit?

You would need to check the power requirements for each appliance and compare them to the capacity of the circuit. But I wouldn't recommend it.
