    Re: Old appliance

    that's vague
    what is it, and does it have exposed metal bits?

    personally i would replace the wire anyway - that old, the insulation may crack!

      ATX brown wire sense range
      by harp
      I thinking to modify some ATX ver 1 supply, and wonder what if I connect 10k pot on 12v and center tap on brown wire? What range of 3.3v correction can to expect, or something will blow up if I close to rails, leave narrow 3.3v range?

      It is KA7500B ic, but 3v3 sense is connected to TL431, I am not sure there is any connection between.

      New wire for my RDE3340 Whirlpool electric range
      by wnlewis
      OK. I got the rocker switch figured out thanks to the good advice on this forum.

      Now I need to figure out the correct wire to go to the switch from the broiler element and from the oven element.

      This is a Whirlpool RDE3340 electric range.

      The common wire on the switch appears to have a high temperature insulating material. I am guessing that both the wire to the broiler and the wire to the oven elements also need relatively high temperature insulation. What do I need to look for? The broiler is rated at about 2400 watts.

      Where may I find parts...

      Lenovo Yoga 710 15ISK, 80U00002US battery cable wire broken.
      by emeskay
      We have an Lenovo Yoga 710 15ISK that we use as a secondary laptop. To cut a long story short, around May 2023, while traveling, I connected the laptop into an electrical outlet that was already switched on. Something made a "pfft" sound and the laptop refused to turn on after that. After getting back home, I gave the the laptop for repair to an informal repair person. He replaced the adapter and an internal motherboard part, but after he returned it I noticed that the LCD did not look normal. Essentially, every alternate horizontal line on the screen had gone missing. The laptop was...

      Nest Thermostat Discussion...
      by SolomonMan
      All,

      I was over my sons place helping him with projects today. (Broken Dryer Belt, a Couple leaking pipes (One cracked - that got me over there),and Thermostat swap.

      The Energy company offered a Rebate on the Nest Thermostat System (Not the Learning One) last year and we picked it up and its sat in the shipped box for about a year now.

      Anyways I was thinking it would be a quick job as I currently have a Nest Learning Thermostat at my place and it was not a problem to install. (Old Rheem 90 Furnace)

      At my boy's place he has a York Stellar...

      Vintage fan repair, copper wire question
      by technicalspecialist
      I currently have a customer's vintage fan on the work bench to repair.
      It uses an induction motor with 4 poles. One of the poles is open.
      I couldn't find the break so i cut off the original wire.
      I have measured the other poles and the resistance is about 28 ohms per pole and I measured the diameter of the wire with my digital calipers and it is 0.35mm in diameter.

      I need to work out how much 0.35mm diameter enamelled copper wire i need to order for it to be 28 ohms. I have used this calculator and it says i need 160.35 metres.

      The enamelled copper...
