Random DIY mixing and More

[markfm]

I press the start button and nothing happens. I can hear the timer and the light works. My son turned on some clothes to dewrinkle them since they were in the dryer overnight, it worked for a minute, and it just stopped. I think it’s a fuse or high limit thermostat so I’m going to order both once I verify I’ve got the correct ones. I’m also going to order a new hose.

It looks like the thermal high limit fuse (aka high limit thermostat) can be checked with a standard multimeter, since it doesn't reset.

Nice general writeup: How to Verify the Thermal Fuse Is Burned out on a Dryer

Apparently the fuse is normally closed (continuity between the two terminals). If your meter shows infinite resistance between the two terminals (open circuit), when at the lowest ohms range, it's blown:


A PITA to access, part 507 here: GTD42EASJ2WW fuse location

It does sound like replacing the thermostat (part 505) at the same timer is common.

Checking/replacing the duct is good. At our house I check the exterior vent once or twice a year to clear any lint buildup that keeps the little vent louvers from opening or closing properly. DW and I are also careful about keeping the lint trap clean and not leaving anything on top of the dryer (which increases internal temperature).

Of course you've committed this YT to memory by now [emoji3]

You are so funny. Yeah, I knew it was labor day...see what being sick and selling a house will do to you?

Pretty soon it will be Christmas, you know when kids dress up like goblins and go door to door for gifts, lol.

I’m determined to fix it. I think it’s something simple and inexpensive. I’ve learned a lot by spending hours researching it.

Using vape Eight requires a paid membership status to get discounts. At least that was.my iiexperience when I try to.buy Agreis 100W Solo on salelkk
I'd gone there for 100W Solo but to get discounts at chk out you had to be a paid member ??

No. You get a member price if you're a member. But their prices are already discounted and they have tons of coupons and free shipping (with coupon).

 

[Katya]

I agree. Hard to pass up a mod for $17.

Not that hard. I even had one in my cart and said no. I have too many mods as is.

Auto draw doesn't hit as hard and I hate auto draw. The button placement is a con in my book and if I write a review, will say so.

Phil was also a bit doubtful about that button placement in his review. Interesting.

Now if I could only do the same with the Zlide (more vapor then NEEDED) compared to the Zenith (good vapor production - usually no need to adjust).

Good grief, Uncle! How much vapor do you actually need? My Zlide produces more than I can inhale even with 1.6Ω coils.

1 - Adept

Adept annoys me because it won't let me vape my 1.6Ω at 10 watts, where I like it. I hate mods that limit my wattage choices. Another reason I'm still on the fence about the Sceptre--only 9 or 10 watts? Why? What if I want 8 or 11 watts. So annoying. My Vinci X offers a much wider range of wattages for any given coil.

Good luck, RJ!

Good morning, Mixers. Have a nice weekend.

Why are you up so early?

 

[hittman]

Good morning. RJ, you’ve got this. I’m confident that you’ll be able to fix the dryer.

I had my furnace quit in the middle of winter several years ago in the middle of a snow storm. I called a repair guy since even though I’m an electrician, I had no knowledge of furnaces and no wiring diagram to work from. He said to pull out the high limit thermostat and tap it on the ground a few times and try it. He said sometimes they get stuck. It worked and I was up and running until I could get the part. After that I got very familiar with the furnace and could fix just about anything on it.

Nice to see you here, Mark

I wrap my hand around it. No problem

Good morning random folks Have you any plans today?

 

[FranC]

@hittman Is this your long weekend?

 

[Redbird11]

Good morning random folks Have you any plans today?

Morning @FranC. I am going to go hiking for a few hours. In vape related activities, I plan to try out a different RTA (either the MD or the SXK Dogstyle). Also, probably going to mix a few recipes that I bookmarked a few days ago on ELR.

How about you?

Well, my day looks much less busy. We have a bit of a large roast I want to get in the crockpot early. I have one recipe I hope to mix today and still need to do something with the bottles on my bureau.

Are these bottles flavor bottles?

 

[FranC]

Are these bottles flavor bottles?

Yes, mostly fruits that won't fit in my case.

May I recommend my shoebox method? It's not fancy, and it has no organization whatsoever, but it gets the flavors out of the way and out of sight.
