Rusty water in your washing machine may be due to old or corroded pipes, which can release rust particles into the water. It could also be caused by the presence of iron in the water supply. Consider having your plumbing inspected and installing a water filter if needed.

There are a few potential reasons your Kenmore washer may not be spinning, such as a faulty drive belt, issues with the motor, or problems with the lid switch. First, check to ensure the washer is on a level surface and the load is balanced. If those don't solve the issue, it may be best to contact a technician for further diagnosis and repair.

The place you buy if from may do it for free, if new, or charge a small fee of $50-100.oo or less. If you hire a handy man that could vary. Both appliances come with directions how to hook up. The washer is easier than the dryer. You have a hot and cold line that connects from the washer to the spickets behind the washer, they are marked on the hoses. There is another hose that goes in the back of the washer that goes to the same spot that drains the water out on the spin cycle and a plug. On the dryer there is a plug and the vent hose that goes from the back of the dryer to the vent hole in the floor or wall. Takes less than an hour to do both. This is IF you have hook-ups already in place for a washer and dryer. If not, the costs are going to be a lot more significant. The cost depends on where you are putting the washer and dryer. If plumbing and electrical lines are close by it might run you about $400-500 for everything. (water lines to the washer, drain for the washer, electrical to the dryer and vent for dryer) However, it can be several hundred dollars more if you need to run plumbing and electrical lines significant distances (20 ft or more). To make it the cheapest possible, pick a location where water lines and an electrical box are less than 10 ft away. Also, if you do it yourself, you can save a lot of money and might only spend $100-200 in materials.

An automatic clothes dryer uses hot air to evaporate moisture from wet clothes. The hot air is generated by a heating element and is circulated inside the drum to absorb the moisture. The warm, damp air is then vented outside while dry air continues to circulate inside the drum to dry the clothes.

Yes, microwaves use thermal energy to heat food. They work by emitting microwave radiation that is absorbed by the water molecules in the food, causing them to vibrate and generate heat. This heat cooks the food from within, making the process faster than conventional thermal cooking methods.

A gas range is a cooking appliance that uses natural gas or propane to fuel the burners on the stovetop and the oven for cooking. It provides a consistent and easily adjustable heat source for cooking various types of food. Gas ranges are popular for their precise temperature control and quick responsiveness.

either the lid switch is bad or the transmission is faulty. The Whirlpool and their subsidiaries brand(s) are well known for faulty or broken lid switches which break from the users either dropping or slamming their lids. The weight combined with force,breaks the switch and will keep them from agitating,draining or spinning.

Fabric softeners or dryer sheets can leave a residue on clothes that makes them cling together or stick to your body. The static electricity generated in the dryer can also contribute to clothes clinging. Overdrying clothes can exacerbate this issue.

A washing machine uses electric energy to power its motor and control systems. The mechanical energy from the motor is then used to rotate the drum for washing clothes. Heat energy may also be used in some models to heat the water for washing.

A UPS contains a power inverter, which converts the DC current from the battery into an AC current, which is what you get from a wall plug. Most likely the reason for the buzzing is that the energy delivered by the inverter is not /exactly/ the same waveform as a wall socket. It's current, which should be a smooth sine wave, is actually a stepped square wave. The buzzing you would hear is the change in each step. You can find more on UPS's here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uninterruptible_power_supply http://computer.howstuffworks.com/question28.htm You can also find more on Inverters, sine and square waves: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverter_(electrical) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_wave http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sine_wave

A condensing agent is a substance or reagent that promotes a condensation reaction, where two molecules combine to form a larger molecule with the elimination of a smaller molecule. It accelerates the reaction by aiding in the removal of the byproduct formed during the reaction. Common condensing agents include dehydrating agents like sulfuric acid or acetic anhydride.

Sheets bundle up in the dryer due to the tumbling motion that occurs during the drying process. The sheets can become twisted and tangled, causing them to wrap around each other and form a bundle. To minimize bundling, try shaking out the sheets before putting them in the dryer and periodically stopping the dryer to untangle them.

If you are not hearing or smelling gas when the gas fireplace is turned on, but the pilot light is working, the issue may be with the gas valve not fully opening or a blockage in the gas line. It is important to have a professional technician inspect and service the fireplace to ensure safe operation.

Putting a glass in the washing machine can cause it to break due to the heat and movement during the washing cycle. Additionally, the glass may chip or crack, leading to potential safety hazards. It is recommended to wash glassware by hand to avoid damage.

A washing machine typically uses electrical energy to power its motors, components, and heating elements. Some washing machines also have options for using different water temperature settings, which may require additional energy for heating.

There could be a problem with the belt drive of your washer. Manually turn the machine to see if it spins easily. If it does not, you might need to check the belt. It could be too tight or too loose. But that depends on your washer. You can refer to http://www.washingmachineadvisor.com if you do not know how to repair your brand of washer.

In a washing machine, electrical energy is converted to mechanical energy to rotate the drum and agitate the clothes. The mechanical energy then produces friction as the clothes rub against each other and the sides of the machine, generating heat energy. Finally, the water is heated using electrical energy to facilitate the washing process.

A loud noise during the spin cycle of a Frigidaire top load washing machine could be due to an unbalanced load causing the drum to bang against the sides. Check to make sure the clothes are evenly distributed inside the tub. It could also be a sign of a worn out drive belt or worn bearings, which may need to be replaced by a professional technician.

Copper is a good conductor of electricity, making it ideal for transmitting the electric current in a toaster efficiently. Additionally, copper is durable, heat-resistant, and readily available, making it a cost-effective choice for toaster wiring.

The main ingredients in Windex glass cleaner are water, 2-hexoxyethanol, isopropanolamine, sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate, and lauramine oxide. These ingredients help to dissolve grease, grime, and dirt from glass surfaces.

Bleach is a general term for a chemical used for whitening, disinfecting, and cleaning, while Clorox is a brand of bleach manufactured by The Clorox Company. Clorox products often contain sodium hypochlorite as the active ingredient, which is a type of bleach.

Try checking the heating element itself. Do this by removing it and using an ohm meter to check it for an "open" circuit condition. If the ohm meter reads infinite, then it is likely bad. If the water heater is only slow to heat, a very likely possibility is that you have an excess amount of sediment in the bottom of the tank, insulating the heating element from the water. Back flushing the tank will solve this problem. For more tips, check out the following web site: www.waterheaterrescue.com

1. Rubbing a balloon against hair to create static electricity.
2. Walking across a carpet and then receiving a shock when touching a metal doorknob.
3. Lightning during a thunderstorm is also an example of static electricity discharge.
