No steam opting our mop with the foot on or off. Kettle gets hot, but I think there’s a blockage somewhere. Cap on water tank replaced. Foot disassembled, no apparent blockage.
I added a labeled picture.
The flow goes from the tank thru the pump thru the boiler and then down to the sprayer.
Does the pump operate ?
The pump sticks thru a grommet into the water tank.
There is a piece of hose between the pump and the boiler.
Have you tried opening the cleanout cap at the bottom ?
You can troubleshoot the unit with cold water. Take one of the wires off the boiler.
You can remove the parts for cleaning.
My Opal Ice Maker has been giving me issues. When it is in ice making mode, after about an hour, it would switch over to cleaning mode and stay in this mode and not go back into ice making mode. The only way for it to go into cleaning mode is turn it on manually using a slider switch mounted on the back of the cabinet. I tried calling a few repair shops and was told they do not service ice making equipment, so I am at a loss as to getting this $500 unit back up and making ice.Read More
Hi all, possibly a stupid question, but I'm trying to confirm whether or not there's something wrong with my microwave before replacing/modifying it. It's a GE JVM1540SM5SS OTR microwave (picture attached). It's vented to the outside. My problem is (possibly) with the intake for the vent. I'm not sure that it's really any good at actually drawing air up away from my gas range.
The microwave has a slotted grill along the top front of it, with two small intakes for the vent behind the grill (red arrows in attached picture). I confirmed that it does suck air in here, by loosely holding tissue paper near these spots and having it adhere to the grill from the air pressure. However, I would expect that the vent would primarily draw in air from beneath, where the blue arrows are in my diagram. There are grease traps down there. The problem is, I don't think that it is drawing in air from there. I never see any effect on steam rising from my cooking when the vent's on, and the same tissue paper test underneath the microwave has no effect on the paper. Maybe it's a small thing, but it just doesn't seem to be working properly.
Is this something that I could change? Some alternate means of routing the airflow so that it draws in from the bottom, rather than the top? For what it's worth, the grease traps don't seem dirty at all, and I really don't think the previous owners would have cleaned them. Or is there a good way to test and see if the vent is in fact drawing in air from the bottom, besides observing steam or the tissue paper I used?
