You need 14-gauge wire for 15-amp circuits, and 12-gauge wire for 20-amp circuits.

The question is confusing the ability of a wire to carry current, with the insulation factor of the wire. Any size wire can carry 120 volts. The insulation factor determines how much voltage can be applied to a wire. Standard wire voltages come in three voltages, 300, 600 and 1000 volt ratings. These ratings are up to and including, so 300 volt insulation wire will handle 120, 208, 240, and 277 volts. 600 volt insulation will handle all of the 300 volt range plus 347,415, 480 and 575 volts. 1000 volt insulation will handle all of the 300 and 600 volt ranges plus different voltages up to 1000 volts.

A lava lamp can last for several years with proper care and maintenance. However, the lifespan of a lava lamp ultimately depends on how often it is used and if it is maintained according to the manufacturer's instructions.

There could be an issue with the electrical connection or wiring in your stove, leading to a minor electrical shock when touching it. It's important to unplug the stove immediately and have a qualified electrician inspect and repair the appliance to prevent any safety hazards. Avoid using the stove until the issue is resolved.

Electric stoves do not need to be vented. Gas stoves also do not need to be vented, altho a hood that is vented outside would be a good idea to cut down on the cooking odors and fumes that might be given off by the burning gas. Same goes for propane burning stoves. All wood burning stoves need to be vented to the outside. I've seen some cases where people have vented stoves into the attic. Please don't ever do this because the grease from cooking will build up in insulation and underside of the roof, causing a very explosive situation.

You can typically find instruction manuals for appliances like the Kenmore washer model 02647701000 on the manufacturer's website. Visit Kenmore's official website and navigate to the support or manuals section. You may need to enter the model number to access the specific manual for your appliance.

The Dyson Ball vacuum cleaners were first introduced in 2010.

The first step is to clean the fan thoroughly to remove any debris or dust that may be causing the noise. If cleaning doesn't resolve the issue, check if the fan blades are properly aligned and not loose. If the noise persists, it may be a sign of a worn-out motor that needs to be replaced.

Clothes rubbing against each other and the dryer drum create friction, causing electrons to transfer between the materials. This transfer of electrons builds up electric charge on the clothes. When the clothes are separated or come into contact with another material, this charge can be discharged as static electricity.

Unfortunately not, try buying clothes which need little or no ironing and take care when drying after washing to hang straight if using a line or remove from dryer as soon as items are dry.

If you want to remove grease from your dirty thing (clothes, skin and dishes all generally get grease on them) then you should use some form of detergent like washing powder. If you only want to kill bacteria then a hot wash might do.

Depending on the model number, the weight can vary. Determine the model number of the unit in question, visit Maytag's website, and type the model number into the search box located at the top right corner of their site.

Once you've landed on the washer's product page, there will be loads of information about the unit including the weight-- sometimes even the shipping weight too.

It depends on what type of washer it is.

If it's a GE model, and the motor / transmission is good most likely your problem is the Agitator Coupler which is located beneath the agitator

If the washer is made by Whirlpool / Kenmore and the motor / transmission is good most likely your problem is the Agitator Dogs which are located inside the agitator

Both are easy and inexpensive fixes

It is not necessary to install a range hood simply because you have a natural gas range. Range hoods simply remove odors, heat and moisture from the home. There is not enough natural gas put out from a range to require a separate filtration unit.

I think that you are quoting a serial number. I am curious about the manufacture date as well since mine (my mom's) doesn't rinse the dirty water out, and as such, doesn't clean the clothes anymore! And it is a Kenmore, Series 70, Model 110, and the serial number is 8287something something long like the number you listed for the model number. I might be wrong, but double check - maybe we'll get an answer. I don't know when you posted your question. It could've been ages ago for all of the blogging savvy I have! Best wishes ~ Myrna

The electricity consumption of a heating pad can vary depending on the wattage of the device. On average, a heating pad typically uses around 50 to 200 watts per hour when in use. It's important to check the label on your specific heating pad to determine its energy consumption.

Yes, hot water can cause clothes to shrink because it can cause the fibers of the fabric to contract and become tighter. It is best to follow the care instructions on the garment label and use cold water if you want to prevent shrinking.

A normal hair straightener typically requires around 30-50 watts to power. It is always recommended to check the specific wattage indicated on the product label or in the user manual for accurate information.

No. The air in a dryer is around 90-170 degrees not hot enough to ignite a lighter. The Myth Busters actually did an episode about this where they ran a lighter through a dryer for an extended period of time. They also put a lighter in a toaster oven to find out what temperature it would explode at, it did not happen until it reached 350 degrees.

Electrical energy is changed into mechanical energy

In Barbados, the mains voltage is typically 115-120 volts with a frequency of 50 Hz. It is always recommended to verify this information with the local utility provider or check the voltage indicated on electrical outlets in the specific location you are in.

Microfiber clothes should not be put in the dryer because the heat can damage the delicate fibers, causing them to lose their softness and absorbency. It's recommended to air dry or hang dry microfiber clothes to maintain their quality and effectiveness.

You can find the owner's manual for a GE Heavy Duty Dryer by visiting the GE Appliances website and searching for the specific model number of your dryer.

You can try cleaning the white residue with a mixture of baking soda and water or a mild abrasive cleaner, followed by a gentle scrub. If the stain persists, it may require professional cleaning or replacement of the affected area. Be cautious to avoid scratching the stovetop surface during the cleaning process.

Refrigerator was just like a air conditioner and a magnet of Tom Swayer.
