Why doesn't my Whirlpool washer agitate or spin?
As a Whirlpool service technician to answer your question one would need to know the age of your washer, as design has changed over the years. It could be a simple as you are not closing the lid to as complex as a bad wire. There is an arm that rocks back & forth called the "wig-wag". It has 2 solenoids with plungers on it. These plungers operate the transmission of your washer. There is a pin that goes through the plunger foot that has a tendency to break. If it breaks, your washes will fill & drain but won't agitate or spin. I have found that replacing the pin with a cotter pin from a hardware store costs about 15 cents & about 1/2 an hour tops!
What is linear density of wire?
((rho * pii * (diameter)2))/4
How can you prove the image formed in plane mirror is as far behindthe mirror as the object in front of it?
To do this get a plane mirror and two pins. 1.place the first pin in front of the mirror and let it stand firmly. 2.the second pin would act like a search pin-move it until it coincide with the image of the first pin. 3.avoid error due to parallax in 2 4.read the distance of the first pin from the mirror and now the second from behind the mirror,you will find out they are approximately the same since you can't do it perfectly at home. 5.Any small object can also be used
How do you re-wire a 2 plug cable in to a UK 3 pin plug when the wire colours are the same?
That is potentially dangerous and should never be done. See an electrician about this problem.
Where can you find the speed sense wire on a Chrysler 300?
GREEN/BROWN WIRE IN A 2 PIN CONNECTOR AT THE REAR OF THE TRANSMISSION OR PIN 32 AT THE PCM PLUG PASSENGER SIDE FIREWALL
Why you use three pin plug insted of two pin?
In an electrical socket, there are three holes. One is a hot wire, one is a neutral wire, and one is a ground wire. Usually, the hot wire is black. The neutral wire is white. And the ground wire is green. Motors usually have three pin plugs. Other items also have them. When a motor has a three pin plug, the body of the motor is attached to the ground. If a spark goes from the electrical wires to the body of the motor, it will go harmlessly to the ground and not hurt anyone. On a two pin plug, usually one pin is larger than the other. The larger pin goes to the neutral or white wire. It is also grounded. That way if there is an electrical short in the device, it should not electrocute the person using it.
97 Pontiac gran prix 3800 supercharged it has a 2-3 shift solenoid code and you need to know which solenoid is the 2-3 solenoid?
alot of the time it is a wiring problem between the engine control module and the transmisssion plug. you can test this wire for continuity The yel/bk wire on pin 44 on the blue plug on the ecm module. Unplug the transmission plug off the side of the transmission and check from ecm module located in the airbox to the plug for continuity. i don't have the pin layout for the plug on the transmission, but by process of elimination you can figure it out. below is a wiring diagram showing the 2-3 shift solenoid. alot of the time it is a wiring problem between the engine control module and the transmisssion plug. you can test this wire for continuity The yel/bk wire on pin 44 on the blue plug on the ecm module.

How do you replace an old 2 prong plug with an updated 3 prong plug?
You don't. A 2 prong plug has two wires, one called live (black or red wire in the US) and the other is neutral (white or gray wire in the US). A 3 prong plug needs a third wire for ground (bare copper, green, or green-yellow in the US). The only time you can replace a 2 prong plug with a 3 prong plug is if the 2 prong plug incorrectly replaced an original 3 prong plug.
Will a 2 pole wire work with a 3 pole plug?
A 2-pole wire will not work on a 3-pole plug. You will need to use a 3-pole wire on a 3-pole plug.
How do you find the phase pin in 3 pin plug?
It depends upon what type of plug that you are talking about. There are many configurations of plugs. The one that you are probably referring to is a 2 pole 3 wire grounding plug. To correctly identify the "phase" pin a voltage and amperage must be stated. It will fall under one of three designations L5, L6 or L7. By Convenstion the right side pin is supposed to be phase or hot pin. Left side pin is neutral. Top side pin, which is slightly larger and bit longer is for grounding. This convention is applicable in India.
Can you cut off the 2 pin plug on your electric fan and replace it with a 3 pin?
Yes, you can.
What is the function of each pin in a 3 pin XLR PLUG?
Pin 1 = ground, Pin 2 = hot/plus, Pin 3 = cold/minus
Can you change a 2 prong plug with a three prong plug if you use a GFCI breaker?
NO - it is not safe to do that. A GFCI breaker is only a secondary safety device and your primary safety still depends on the earth wire in a 3-pin supply.
3 wire to 2 wire plug?
You get a two wire plug!! You should never try to skip connecting the ground wire, the soul purpose of the ground is to create safety for you and others around you. the problem is that someone may assume that the ground is part of the wire since the plug is a three wire!! \You will have to skip the ground terminal on the plug. Usually plug has a green screw or wire, ground pin is longer than two other and round in shape.
Can I plug my 2 prong Christmas light cord into a 3 prong extension cord?
UK answer only: Yes but you need a three-pin to two-pin adaptor. Alternatively fit a three-pin plug to the light and leave the earth pin disconnected. This can only be done if the lamp already has a two-wire cable fitted to it, anything else is potentially dangerous.
