== == Keep it at a constant temp a little bit higher than you would want it when your not home. Preset it to start cooling down about an hour or so before you expect to be home. A tid bit of knowledge...... Most electric companies charge more during peak hours of usage. Make sure your house is cooler before times of peak usage. Peak usage is usually about 5pm when most people are getting off of work. EVERYONE wants their house to cool off really quickly when they get home! If your house is already cool, you won't be paying those 'peak hours of usage rates'. == ==

They can't, they do however greatly reduce the amount of water left in the clothes after a washers spin cycle. This allows the clothes to dry on the line faster and leaves them softer than "non spinning" as the water left in the clothes is greatly reduced.

It depends on the construction of the home and the type of system. Typically it is from 30-60%.

The white residue is calcium and magnesium(hard water). When heated in the dishwasher it dries and leaves a chalky residue on glassware. There is a new product out that solves this problem once and for all. Its called the dishwasher filtration system and you can get it at www.dishwasherfilter.com.

Choke has got two functions. Initially it raises the ac voltage to some 350 V so as to initiate the discharge of electricity through mercury vapour. Once the discharge becomes activated then low voltage about 110 V is enough to maintain the discharge through mercury vapour. This is supplied by the same choke.

It is a physical change, a change in phase from liquid to gas (evaporation). The nitrogen is chemically the same at the lower liquid temperature, but has some different properties because of its ability to absorb heat. If you cool the nitrogen gas , it will turn liquid again.

The purple dye from the socks may bleed onto the white underpants, causing them to become stained with a purple tint. It's best to separate dark-colored clothing from lights when doing laundry to prevent color transfer.

Most Gas ranges require power for the electric starter, in that case a 110V 15A plug outlet is required.

Some gas ranges are "duel fuel" where there is an electric element in the oven as well as gas.

then there are some that are gas for the cooktop burners but pure electric.

in the last two cases, usually they requre 220v 40A, but its best to check with the manufacturer for power specifications before installing these ones.

This could be due to a malfunctioning water inlet valve that is stuck open, allowing hot water to flow even when set to a cold cycle. It could also be caused by a problem with the temperature sensor, which is not accurately detecting the water temperature. In either case, it's best to have a professional technician inspect and repair the issue.

A washing machine works by filling a drum with water, adding detergent, and agitating the clothes to remove dirt. The machine then drains the dirty water, rinses the clothes with clean water, and spins them to remove excess water before drying.

The energy transferred can be calculated by multiplying the power (2400 watts) by the time (1 hour = 60 minutes): Energy = Power x Time. 2400 watts * 1 hour = 2400 watt-hours. To convert watt-hours to kilowatt-hours, divide by 1000: 2400 watt-hours / 1000 = 2.4 kilowatt-hours. Therefore, 2.4 kilowatt-hours of energy is transferred when a 2400 watt washing machine is used for 60 minutes.

Not usually but if the water softener's resin is leaking into the water supply - to your sink and washing machine - that could explain the orange stains because some water softener resins are orange in color.

If the resin vessel is cracked the water softener is only fit for scrapping.

It is not usually economic to get a water softener repaired by fitting a new resin vessel as other parts will also be worn out.

If you buy a brand new one it will normally come with at least one year's warranty.

In an older home sometimes rust from non-copper plumbing will stain your washing.

Firstly a water heater is a concealed unit and all joints are meant to be leak proof. Sounds like there is a leak somewhere in the water heater. Get a plumber to investigate and fix where necessary.

The work input required can be calculated using the first law of thermodynamics, which states that the work input for a cycle is equal to the heat absorbed minus the heat expelled. In this case, the work input would be 126 J (356 J - 230 J) for each cycle.

Stainless steel appliances can increase the appeal of a kitchen to potential buyers due to their modern and sleek aesthetic. However, they are not necessary for selling a house. It ultimately depends on the preferences of the target market and the overall style of the kitchen.

A dryer machine can cause clothes to shrink if they are exposed to high heat for too long. It is always best to check the care label on clothing items and avoid using high heat settings for delicate fabrics to prevent shrinking.

Turning the thermostat to a higher temperature does not make the air coming out of the vents hotter on a central AC with a heat coil. The temperature setting on the thermostat simply tells the system when to stop cooling or heating, but it doesn't affect the actual temperature of the air being produced. The heat coil or furnace is responsible for heating the air, not the thermostat setting.

Kitchen stoves operated on less than 220 volts are rare because of the high amperage that would be required for a 110-volt range to operate. You may be able to find one that is normally used in a camper or an RV.

Things in motion tend to remain in motion and continue in the same direction. That is inertia. Since the drum is round, it creates centrifugal force. The water presses out through the holes and the clothes can't The centrifugal force is dependent on the speed of the rotating drum.

In a forced hot water heating system, a pump circulates hot water from the boiler to the radiators through a series of pipes. Each radiator has its own valve that controls the flow of hot water, allowing it to heat up the individual rooms. As the hot water passes through each radiator, it releases heat into the room and then returns to the boiler to be reheated and circulated again.

A capacitor in a washing machine helps to store and release electrical energy when needed. It is commonly used to provide the initial boost of power to the motor when the machine starts running and to help regulate voltage fluctuations during operation.

Odds are it's some kind of mold or mildew that's built up from the washing. It's recommended that after every load you leave the washer door open for the condensation to dry and whatnot, otherwise, you're just letting the water sit and stagnate. You should also do a regular cleaning of the drums. Some recommend bleach, or using cleaning tablets or baking soda. There's a number of different solutions. But you should probably do some cleaning before it gets worse. There's a product called Smelly Washer that will get rid of the mildew smell.

The washer seal will start to turn black if it is not dried with a cloth using some beach on it after every use.

Take a small towel or even a facecloth outside and wet it with a hose or at a hose bib. Wet it really well. Then take the wet material and swing it around in "windmill" fashion like underhand softball pitchers move their arm to accelerate a ball. Water will be flying off the material as you swing it. Centrifugal force is at work moving everything "out" from the center of rotation. Even the wet material will be stretched "out" from where you're holding it. This is centrifugal force., and it is the protracted action of applied centrifugal force that "forces" water "out" from the center of the tub in the washer, and out through the holes in that tub so it can be collected and pumped out of the machine during the spin cycle. Some moisture stays in the material, but most of it is "thrown" off.
