If a washing machine fills with water when switched off, it could be due to a faulty inlet valve that is not closing properly. This can allow water to continue entering the machine even when it is not in use. The issue may require a repair or replacement of the faulty valve to prevent the machine from overfilling.

Fiberglass insulation in a dishwasher mainly helps to reduce heat transfer via conduction. This material acts as a thermal barrier, slowing down the transfer of heat between the hot internal components of the dishwasher and the external environment, helping to maintain the desired temperature inside the appliance.

this answer was found concerning computer requirements, but the equation used at the end will produce the same results for whichever type of electronics you're trying to guage the watts on.

# Meets ENERGY STAR requirements

# Line voltage: 100-125V AC or 200-240V AC

# Frequency: 50Hz to 60Hz, single phase

# Maximum current: 6.5A (low-voltage range) or 7.5A (high-voltage range) for 100-125V AC, 3.5A for 200-240V AC

The maximum current would be when starting up or when the fans and processor are at 100%. I can't remember the Energy Star regs, but at idle it is somewhere down around 20W. Add the consumption of the monitor to this. A LCD screen will be way less than a large CRT.

Sustained use would be in the middle - I think the guess of 350W is pretty good for active use.

(Note: Watts = Volts x amps, so 6.5A at 120 V = 780 Watts -- that's at peak. Comparatively, this is like 8 light bulbs or 1/2 of a space heater or a microwave.)

When a fluorescent lamp is turned on, the electricity excites the mercury vapor inside the tube. UV light is produced. The UV light excites the phosphor coating. The phosphorus atoms relax by releasing a visible light. Since the light emitted by the phosphorus atoms is of a spread spectrum (the frequency is not fixed), the light appears whitish. To summarize, electricity is turned into light.

To prevent your washer agitator from banging loudly during the spin cycle, try to balance the load inside the machine by redistributing the clothes. Make sure the washer is level on the ground to avoid any vibrations. Additionally, you can check that the agitator isn't loose or damaged, as this could also cause the noise.

The issue could be with the igniter, gas valve, or sensor. It is recommended to have a professional technician inspect and diagnose the problem to ensure proper and safe functioning of your central heater.

The average price of a washing machine in 2007 ranged from $400 to $900 depending on the brand, model, and features.

A 1200 watt resistive load hair dryer is equivalent to 1.2 kw (kilowatts).

Hair dryers typically use permanent magnets made from materials such as ceramic or neodymium magnets. These magnets are used in the motor of the hair dryer to generate the magnetic field needed for the motor to operate.

No, the black wire is typically used as the hot wire in a standard electrical circuit in North America. The neutral wire is usually white. It is important to always verify the proper wiring colors and configurations, as they can vary by region and application.

There is no scientific evidence supporting the existence of ghosts or their ability to physically touch individuals. Reports of ghostly encounters are subjective experiences influenced by belief systems, emotions, and environmental factors.

The actual role of the cooling coil behind (or underneath in some cases as well as inside the side walls on some models) is to dissipate the heat collected from INSIDE the refrigerator as a result of the cooling cycle. If you would like more information on the subject, please follow the related links below to "How Stuff Works" The motor typically dissipates heat through a separate heat sink to prevent from excess heat being reintroduced into the refrigerator.

If your tumble dryer is not heating up but still tumbling, it may be due to a faulty heating element or thermostat. Check to see if these components are functioning properly and replace them if necessary to restore the heat. Additionally, make sure the dryer's vents are not clogged or blocked, as this can also affect heating efficiency.

A washing machine typically uses electrical energy to power its motor, which spins the drum and agitates the clothes during a wash cycle. It also uses thermal energy to heat the water, if a hot water cycle is chosen.

I would say no, there is no sparking in the electrical connections. With a motor, electrical noise is caused by electricity traveling between the brushes and the rotor which is spinnung. For example a Hair Drier or any type of motor that plugs into a household outlet. The smaller the motor, the less static that is created. I am just not sure if any of the static travels very far such as to another home nearby.

Or course each home is different based upon what products are installed or plugged in for each home. The standard group of devices varies primarily based up on country and region.

Here is a standard lineup of devices for the southern USA in expected electrical consumption from highest to lowest expected consumption per month.

You can purchase hangers for the Maytag Neptune Drying Center either through the manufacturer's website, authorized retailers, or online marketplaces such as Amazon or eBay. It's recommended to check with Maytag directly for availability and compatibility.

You can remove melted plastic from a dishwasher's heating element by first unplugging it from the power outlet and removing all of the dishes and racks. Leave the dishwasher door open to allow the coils to cool down. Place some ice in a plastic zipper bag and put it on top of the cooled plastic and leave for about 30 minutes. Remove the ice and using a plastic scraper, scrape the hardened plastic off the coils. Soak a cloth in an acetone-based nail polish remover and leave it on the element for 5 minutes. Use this cloth to scrub the remaining plastic off of the element then wipe the coils with a clean, damp cloth. Remove any remaining nail polish remover residue with a cloth that has been dipped in a solution of warm water and dish soap, then rinse the coils with water.

Generally, an electric stove should be transported in an upright position to avoid damage to the internal components. Tilting or laying it on its side can potentially cause harm to the mechanisms inside or damage the exterior of the stove. Transporting it upright reduces the risk of any potential issues occurring during the move.

The breaker on a central vacuum unit may trip due to overloading, short circuits, or insulation issues. It could also be caused by a faulty motor, excessive dirt or debris in the system, or problems with the electrical connections. It's important to have a professional electrician diagnose and fix the issue to ensure safety.

To change a fuse in an extension cord, follow these steps: unplug the cord from the power source, locate the fuse cover on the plug end, remove the cover using a screwdriver or by twisting it open, replace the blown fuse with a new one of the same amperage rating, and reassemble the fuse cover before plugging the extension cord back in.

not only more efficient, but with tax breaks and gas company credits they are very competitive pricewise if you can find a floor model like i did. even if you can't it will pay for itself in 2 years and has a longer warranty than a tank

The Maytag washer model A612 was manufactured in the late 1970s to early 1980s. It was part of Maytag's top-loading washer lineup during that time.

A BTU is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 pound of water 1 degree Fahrenheit (F) at or near 39.2 degrees F and 1 atmosphere of pressure.

Electric heaters are rated in KW, not BTU's

3413 BTU's = 1 KW-hr.

In 1993 Dyson opened a Research Centre and Factory in Chippenham, Wiltshire, producing the DC01 cleaner which became the best-selling cleaner in the market place.
