My wife told me it is was not working right -making some noise (like trying hrad- humming) during the day . I smelled a burnt oil/cable smell. I checked the rooms for a fire and found nothing but realized it was coming from the vents. I checked the furnace. It will ignite and burn the gas for 2-3 min and stop. It will continue humming and try again... As it tries (humming) further it sends the smell to the two rooms (not all of the house). What do you think it may be? Some reading says it may be the on/off capacitor for the fan Some says the motor on h fan may be gone Any comments?

Now at a low speed setting it makes a high pitch buzzing noise. As you increase the speed a bit the buzzing stops, but I can hear a small rattle (like maybe a small plastic part is flying around in the impeller cage). My question is whether I need a new motor or whether there is some other electronic part that is responsible for the buzzing. Also, is the fan supposed to be quite loud for this type of oven vent? Any help would be appreciated. This cooktop vent has always been quite loud. Now at a low speed setting it makes a high pitch buzzing noise.

Hope you can help me with a Bradford White, I think it is, electric water heater. 50 gallon, dual element, dual thermostat. Keeps popping the breaker on the upper/main thermostat. I replaced that. I checked resistance of the upper element for both continuity, wire to wire, and short to element sheath and heater housing. Didn't check the lower element, will have to tomorrow, since the kids told me last night that it is still popping. Now I am assuming that that reset is an electrical breaker, correct? It is not related to the snap disks. Those are thermal switches, so if I have tripping trouble, I must have an electrical problem. The double 30 breaker in the panel does not trip. Ah, well, maybe tomorrow will tell the tale.

I have an outdoor Heat/AC unit, it is one big unit. The heater uses gas. The A/C works fine with no problems at all. But the heater will not come on. I can turn on the heat, and turn the Fan on, and it will blow, but cool air. I have followed the instructions as far as turning the ignition switch on. When I turn the heater on with the thermostat inside, I can hear a little motor running outside, but nothing happens, and after about 2-3 minutes, it shuts off. I'm not sure what to check for, anyone else have this problem before? ]]> Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) boomgagem http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/heating-ventilation-air-conditioning-hvac/57572-heater-not-working.html http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/heating-ventilation-air-conditioning-hvac/57453-wiring-diagram-needed.html Fri, 06 Nov 2009 08:49:54 GMT Have a Sears electric heater, need wiring diagram.

No lights, no noise. The green light on the plug indicates I have power at the plug. I suspect a power surge may have damaged the control board. I have power up to the control board, but don't know how to test the board. Dont' really want to start replacing parts until I have a good idea as to what the problem is. Is there a way to test the control board?

We have several of these monsters mounted in-wall...some a few years older than others, all bought at home depot. The first few were branded "Hampton Bay" and the latest are "LG"...same machines, as far as looks...they've just made them cheaper and cheaper as it goes on. Not all that impressed with the "new, lighter, cheaper" stuff at all...they seem to break a LOT more than the good old window units of yore. Here's a link to the basic model:

LG LWHD1800R WINDOW ROOM AIR CONDITIONER 18,000 BTU

The latest one is less than two years old, and the compressor just suddenly stopped coming on. We'd finally been able to turn it off for a few days, and then needed it yesterday. The fan comes on, all the lights/controls seem to function, just nada when the compressor is supposed to kick on.

Now, in the old days, I'd just test the rotary switch and the thermostat, and maybe the run capacitor. Now with all the computer boards instead of actual controls, I am wondering what the first logical troubleshooting step would be. I can swap parts from a spare machine if I know what to swap.

I have already switched out that flimsy wire thing that on an old AC would be the thermostat bulb and line. That didn't do anything. The metal can capacitor looks fine, but could it be burnt and still look good? I have no clue about any of the electronic stuff, so any help would be...well...helpful!

Many thanks in advance. ]]> Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) beebs http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/heating-ventilation-air-conditioning-hvac/56225-lg-18-000-btu-window-wall-ac.html
