Are we talking about the same thing? There is no air compressor that I know
of associated with my water sprinkler. The automatic sprinkler system
timer is made by Toro.

Here is a question for you guys. Well if a guy had two extension cords and one
was a 12 gage and one was 14 gage and you had to use both to get to where you
needed to be which one would you put first? Would you use the heavier one first
or the lighter one???
THANKS ROB

Good question, I'm no electrician, but I'd probably put the higher rated
extension cord first. I was a welder before I went blind, and the more lead
you added, the more amperage was needed to complete and identical weld
further away.

A standard washing you balance it by standing in front of the washer, and by
grabbing the top back of the washer you pull towards you lifting the rear
off the ground a few inches, and lowering it back down. That's how I do
mine, this should be done a couple of times a month.

What about wedges tapped under the front frame? If that doesn't work what about
very long wedges tapped from the front, but long enough to go under the back of
the frame to raise it and hold it level?

rob,
Makes no difference what ever which is first, they both carry the
same current.
As long as whatever load you're running through them requires less current
than the 14 gauge cord is rated for, it should work fine.

I'm not sure about all washing machines, but Kenmore's are more or less self
balancing. Like I said in an earlier post, lift the rear portion of the
washing machine off the ground a few inches and lower it back down and this
balances it.

David,
You'd need to have a level on top the entire stack and see which way it
needs to go. If you're lucky, the front will be low and
you can raise it up with those front leg screws.
or if the rear is low and the front leg screws aren't allready all the way in,
you're still O.K.
I surely
Yes, But the thing is that I got a DR ELECTRIC LOG SPLITTER and they say to
use a 12 gage cord but I have to go farther then my 12 gage cord is.

Rob,
If the log splitter calls for a 12 gauge cord, you really should not use a
14 gauge cord anywhere in the line. It will overheat regardless of where
it is in the line. Get yourself another, or longer 12 gauge.

Rob,
Get another 12 gauge cord.
If the book on the splitter gives a maximum length for acord do not over extend.
If you use the 14 gauge cord, or use a longer cord than they specify, you're
likely to iether get the cord hot, or ruin the motor in the splitter because
there will be too much voltage
THANK'S, That's just what I wanted to know...

I've had it for over a year, it didn't bounce around like this before, so that's
not it. Thanks for asking, though!

Does the unit sit firmly on the floor? If it does, then I don't see how
adjusting the feet will help anything.
I wonder if a piece of clothing got outside the inner tub, or if something
on the suspension system has broken or come loose.

Hmmm, that's an interesting thought. I do find a sock, every once in a while,
nearly swallowed between the gasket and the door.
Ug, it sounds like surgery might be necessary. Is this possible to do, or
should I just call a person to come work on it?

Aloha David,
My stacking unit has adjustable legs on the front but the back legs
are supposed to adjust automatically. On mine we had to tip the unit
forward enough for those back legs to level themselves.
You also might want to try calling the manufacturer for instructions.

Hi David
We had a similar problem with a Hoover Washing Machine and we found one
of the four support arms which support the bowl had snapped.
Take the front panel off your machine and check to see if all support
arms are attached.

When the sprinkler system is cleaned out for the winter, you have
to use an air compressor to force the water out of the lines so
they don't freeze with water in them. If you live somewhere that
doesn't freeze, you wouldn't have to blow the lines out.
Good luck, I agree though, if you

I'm sure there will be lots of opinions on this. All conductors are in
series. In a series circuit the order of connection makes no difference.
Flip a coin, that's the correct way.

There is some place in the running of the sprinkler system where there is

The piece that has the two wires is the solenoid, that is part of the valve.
That entire assembly should come apart. If not, a replacement valve should
