Swimming pool: Repairing electric pump motor

Thu, 19 Mar 2026 11:19:41 -0700

I have an aquabot pool cleaner and pump motor stopped working. If you disassemble it the oil inside runs out. I really only need to know what type of oil to use to replace it. The 35V motor has 4 capacitors to jump start it. I have replaced the capacitors once before in my own machine without loosing the oil and reusing it. Successful long term repair accomplished. This one is a relatives of mine who lost the oil and I don't want to replace capacitors, only to ruin successful job by putting the wrong oil in it. Does anyone know what type of can be used in this motor?

Toilet: Why is it leaking

Tue, 25 Jun 2019 21:03:09 -0700

My toilet seems to be leaking leaking and is soaking the carpet in my apartments bathroom (carpet in the bathroom is foolish but so is my land lord) It is not overflowing and I dont see any leakage at all. It seems that the water is flowing from under the toilet what could possibly be a good fix for my lovely throne.

Toilet: How do I adjust my toilet refill?

Tue, 31 Mar 2020 11:14:19 -0700

Ok my toilet when you flush and it begins to refill, how come the water stops right at the part of the toilet bowl where it flushes? So in other words, bear with me, when you come to use my toilet there is practically no water. Can I adjust the refill after the flush?

Sears Garage Door Opener: Garage door closes after opening

Thu, 16 Feb 2023 03:04:30 -0700

Hello!

Recently my garage door started closing immediately after being opened via the remote or the button inside the garage. After several attempts to open it, it finally stops going down again, or if you push it upward when it's near the top, it seems to stop it.

Anyone know what would cause this, and if there's a simple fix, or do I need a new garage door opener? Getting my car in the garage is like playing a strange video game, and one of these days it's going to scrape my car! :-(

My garage door opener is a Sears 139 65 3000.

Thanks!

John

Blind: How to find discontinued Hunter Douglas parts?

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 15:08:41 -0700

I have Hunter Douglas Luminette Privacy Sheers that were manufactured in 2001 installed on two windows. All Luminette blinds manufactured prior to 2003 have been discontinued, which has been hugely troublesome because I just need one part, the "Universal Bulk Head Body." While I managed to find one site (Blindshaderepair.com) that sells this part (so I thought), it's been nearly three weeks since I placed my order and it has yet to even be marked as shipped. Two emails to customer support and many more voice mails (because they don't ever pick up) has not yielded any success.

I contacted Hunter Douglas about my problem and they responded, "Because the shades are from 2001, most dealers will not have parts to repair the shades, and we would not have a list of different 3rd party shade part websites that carry discontinued components. Due to the age of the shades, the only other option we can suggest is purchasing new ones."

For how expensive these blinds were, I feel it would be rather silly to replace the entire blinds simply because of one inexpensive part. I have also been looking for perhaps knockoff versions of the same part but have not been able to find anything. Any help is appreciated.
