I know I come up with some random topics, but our central AC/ furnace is malfunctioning. 

The problem is that the fan will not turn off at all. It still blows cold air and all but the only way to turn it off is to flip the breaker. Tried replacing the thermostat in hopes of a cheap fix and of course that didn't work. Really don't want to call a repairmen out after taking it in the ass on taxes last month. Husband is sort of handy so if we can DIY this it would be great. 

 
@2earls  Had this happen once, and it ended up being a stuck fan relay.   Sucks when stuff goes out!  My system just died and having to wait and wait and wait and wait for all the warranty stuff to go through so the units can get replaced.  SO ANNOYING dealing with warranty sometimes.  Side note: never buy LG lol. 

 
@DoomKittythat's what the husband thinks it is. I am clueless and only found out today we have to get on the roof to access it. I don't know if he's up to it after working 6 days this week but I will offer to hold the ladder. I'm not scared of heights but I am old enough to wonder if I should be climbing ladders. Besides I have nothing to offer other than moral support. 

So you replaced yours rather than fixing it? I wonder if it is an easy repair or way over our heads?

 
@2earls  Oh i fixed it.   I had a friend help me who knows more about that kind of thing.  With the type i had at the time it was pretty easy.  At least from what i remember lol.  It was at a different place i lived a while ago.   Where i live now has those mini-splits things.  But the units are leaking freon apparently and have to get replaced, so for now I'm making do with a window unit.  At least it's not heaps hot yet where i live.  You could probably google the model number to see how easy of a fix for your unit it would be.  I think with mine i even found a youtube vid with my same model which makes it lots easier.

  1. Hankhill @ Hankhill: saturn is my go to but i wish they had more variety
  2. Finger-of-God @ Finger-of-God: u5ps handles our shipments just fine. 200+ daily, just have to split them up to different locations.
  3. The Doctor RC @ The Doctor RC: Well you know UxPx can't handle the amount of priority mail and FDX is having trouble with business so now they help UxPx handle like a certain percentage of priority mail as far as transportation from location to location
  4. L @ Layne_Cobain: UessPess tracking is agonizingly stupid 😬 😥
  5. O @ ochemdim: Agreed, apologies all. But at the same time I’ve seen articles about spray bottles that are very expensive. Paying more for less when it comes down to it. I think we should help each other out , but this may not be the spot to discuss this topic, you’re right about that
  6. L @ Layne_Cobain: @ochemdim good stuff as always bro
  7. Dr-Octagon @ Dr-Octagon: See round like a donut
  8. N @ necromedic: @ochemdim : definitely will. I feel like we should have started a thread about this. Apologies, @Admin if this was improper use of the box. Please purge, if necessary.
  9. O @ ochemdim: @necromedic ah ok interesting! Let me know what the researchers find out. The hypothesis makes sense, only thing I’d be wary of is the irritability of VG, and keep in mind, when VG and HCł are mixed, chlorôhýdrín is produced which is very irritating but that’d have to be pretty strong HÇł I believe and just washing before hand will rid the excess HÇł
  10. N @ necromedic: @ochemdim : anecdotally, especially with the way other people have prepared them with just distilled H2O and maybe EtOH or BA for sterility, I would definitely agree, and I’ve wondered if that it’s due to the speed of drainage with such a low weight solvent. That’s why I’ve experimented with adding VG to increase viscosity to let it hang in the NM a little longer. Possibly more diffusion/osmotic pressure with a dry vs hydrated medium?
  11. O @ ochemdim: @Royboy88, @Layne_Cobain, @necromedic in a couple research papers I’ve read, they always found that the sprays had lower absorption rates compared to traditional. I could be wrong but I’d research it if I were doing a study and needed references
  12. L @ Layne_Cobain: @Royboy99 never got to try one of those saline sprays but a snuff bullet is a great compromise love mine Amazon has good ones for cheap
  13. N @ necromedic: @Royboy99: I’ve just held on to one, rinse it with EtOH and refill with saline and VG. You can find the devices, dirt cheap, on a lot of sites.
  14. ms3031 @ ms3031: Anyone ever tried MDBD?
  15. R @ Royboy99: Since C and R are gone sadly are there any vendors that offer ❄️ (c) misters , those were so convenient
  16. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: Yeah, be smart, do your research.
  17. M @ meepmoopmeep: is it the high prices from dropshippers? i tend to avoid the obvious dropshippers for that reason
  18. M @ meepmoopmeep: @PlainPasta sorry, but I’m not understanding the issue at hand
  19. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: Depends what you're looking for.
  20. P @ PlainPasta: If this is website of sellers who order off the dark web for a premium. We expect a premium back too
