    Any appliance techs on here? have a ge cafe fridge that i hear click on and off in the back.

    Fridge is cooling but about 10-20 degrees off set point at times.

    Can this be the run capacitor?

    check fan for operation, make sure nothing is blocking the cross over from freezer. Usually quits cooling if its the start relay. How old is fridge?

    We have a tankless, natural gas-fired water heater at the house. Is it worth it to pay someone to do annual maintenance on it or is it simple enough that I can learn to do it myself and not screw anything up?

    I followed this when I descaled my tankless. Super simple with basic tools. You might need to invest in a portable sump pump and some short hoses.

    Added a lockout for the electric panel for the generator and then hung this up. Added extra braces to support the weight and keep it from sagging. Pic of genny sitting to right of truck!

    Is it reflection off the truck, or are your Prinsu and bed racks color matched to your truck?

    Fridge is from 2016.
    its either this part
    WR07X10131 GE Overload or this part GE WR55X24064 KIT CAPACITOR 12 uF

    Man i wish I had a working multimeter.



    Thanks for response. I opened up the back and doesn’t look to difficult to pull the start relay out (i like plug and play).

    742D09E4-4063-4344-8F36-08B3D78C1102.jpg

    yup it was the start relay. my cousin spliced one in and it fired up. gonna put in a new part tomorrow once it comes in.

    Thanks.

    I bought a fancy ass hook to grab the yellow sieve filter thangie and the hook part was too tall. Hacked it off with the M12 cutter!!

    There is an arrow for orientation. A little sharp aroma with fancy ass soap undertones. Nice.

    Not my picture:

    I wasn't around for the inspection so I assumed mine had that kind of thing too, but opening the lid on mine and it's just a bare ol' non baffled tank original to the house. It was always serviced regularly according to the previous owners daughter. Leach field doesn't have much time left though, so I'm gonna have to borrow a friends mini backhoe and start digging...
