The US should drop the 120V split-phase and just have 240V circuits.

Bottom half of the receptacle is wired to the light circuit of the hall way. it is sharing the neutral with the power circuit, or its crossed wired with the 120v wire.

Also prevents an overfilling/backed up sink from filling your dishwasher with water and creating a flood when you crack the door to load dishes

Very helpful mate.

I may add that these outlets were working until my wife plugged in a hairdryer and then they no longer worked, but I checked with the circuit test her and it shows a red and an orange which means reverse. I know the theoretically it is not reversed.

How is it that I have electricity coming to my outlet, but when I plug something in, it doesn’t work

Buddy whats the name of that component ? I know how to replace it, I have done it but I need to buy this thing and dont know whats its called. My toilet is amazingly hard to work on, I cannot replace anything except this washer and I need to get it but I dont know whats the replacement name

Nice demonstration. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Very useful; have one wobbly in the masterbedroom, but, tried all that you showed still the wobble doesn't go away. Thanks though

Great

amazing thnks alot

What Makes The Water go up to the shower head?

how do i set up the mail? ^^'

He wasn't kidding when he said this was the best and most clear explanation of RMS voltage anywhere on the internet

??? What is a lost neutral??? If a person has to ask, call an electrician. The person is definitely not qualified to do wiring. Lights flicker? Lost neutral! Or someone with an arc welder in the neighborhood.

Love your channel!! It worked like a charm!! 2 dishwashers later😅

Thanks for the video, very useful. Just curious, what fan speed were you using for testing, high, medium, or low?

stop being a LAZY F*CK and remove those side panes AND DO THE JOB RIGHT!!!! those coils are NOT THAT fragile you can use regular soap and water and the jet stream from any garden hose.. I would NOT use a pressure washer though.. that'd be too much. to really clean get a couple bottle of CLR and spray the fins after you removed all debris and let that soak a good 15 minutes

thank you that was a very good safety top..👍

how about quality

Just the video I needed. Great content. Simple and well explained.

I’ve been told to use vinegar instead of bleach - and for either flush the line afterward with hot water as both can be caustic to the PVC over time. Yes? No?

How does the earthed grounding rod the panel is bonded to factor into this issue . .if you now have voltage on the Neutral and its also bonded to the Grounding rod ?. I do understand there will be restance in the ground path as its not going to be a perfect low restance connection to the center tap of the power companys supply transformer.

Even cleaning it with simple green and dawn detergent is better than not doing it at all. This works also.

Call the power company as the problem is their neutral. If you call a electrician you will be stuck for service call $ , and they don't work on power company lines.. This could be over $100 for a minimum call The power company will service and fix the neutral connection.no charge. These electrical neutral problem s are dangerous and eerie. Our aluminum framed screen porch was measuring 40 to 70 volts. My dog yipped as she went outside because the aluminum frame and door was electrified. I put my fluke black lead into the nearby ground (soil) and the red lead on some aluminum - ac voltages were all over the place. I think the electricity found a ground but also found a ground that energized the aluminum frame which was also grounded. 😮😮

If history is any indication, it will only be a matter of not if, but when, two pole dual function breakers are in every major panel manufacturers lineup, at a rather hefty price tag of course. To my knowledge only some panel manufacturers, Siemens and square D are ones I'm aware of, that make two pole combination AFCI breakers. And going forward this can get more critical with time because from about the 1960s to 1990s mutiwire branch circuits eg. (a 12/3 NM cable provides two 120V circuits using the black and red sharing a neutral) were popular for the two required kitchen countertop receptacles and possibly other areas in the home such as larger great rooms, as a means of saving money in labor and materials. These homes are now showing their age, and it's a well-known fact that the risk of arc faults increases with age, and two pole dual function breakers would provide the added protection you want in older kitchens wired with 12/3.

Thank you for the video! My husband and I were able to fix one of our toilets with your instructions. We are not handy people AT ALL and your video made the repair very easy.

To actually check if the cleaner works, you should have tried one side with the cleaner and one without. You didn’t get the cleaner everywhere but I can’t tell where you used it and where you didn’t.

Thank you!!!!

Never knew these balancing kits existed. Thank you for the information.

Great video!

Thanks for your helpful response .

Hey Mike to clarify , this drip loop is usually the Electrical company responsibility. I.e owners responsibility , rather than the utility company to perform this action ?

Nu-Calgon brand. Alka-brite+ condenser coil cleaner in the gallon jug! Will be the best 30 bucks you ever spent. And you have enough to clean your outside unit a dozen+ time's.

So why didn't the tester flag open neutral? Rather than hot ground reverse

Glad to come across this video. My son had this happen in his house, his master bedroom had one outlet working and the rest of the outlets and lights only registered 60v. Had "electricians" come out and they were dumb founded, said probably a loose connection somewhere. Power came back on so they charged $275 and left. Power back off in a couple of days. We replaced the breaker and all outlets and switches in the room, nothing. Another technician came out and a loose neutral wire under the house in an outlet. Another $175. What was odd was the power came into the room at one outlet, back out to under the house then back to the room. It was the one under the house that threw us off, I would have thought it was 1st in line before the room.

Not sure exactly how old it is I can figure it out tonight when I get home from work. And yes I have a voltage meter.

It’s a brand new house so I had to put replace the 3 prong cord on my dryer to a 4 prong cord.

only on old windows 7 version ,unfortunately not working in win 10

It doesn’t have a purple test button. It’s a 30 AMP Eaton Ground Fault Breaker Type CHGF with the test button surrounded by Yellow.

It doesn’t trip immediately. It’s usually after 2-3 loads.

Excellent video. Thanks.

super thank you, you should call this video "how to compress pictures for idiots"

I installed the new 4 prong just like this, but my GFCI breaker for the dryer still trip after running the dryer for a few loads…. What’s going on???

I think that problem only happens in countries using 120 volts because they have three cables going to their house from the transformer (+120v, 0v, -120v). In countries using 240 volts that's not a problem because they only have two cables going to their house from the transformer. If they lose one of the cables the light won't turn on.

Thank you for this great tutorial bc I used experienced what turned out to be an broken Neutral wire from the Power pole it wasn't discover completely till my cable guy came & got lit up off the cables ground & came in & cked power outlets & smelt smoke but the outlets all had 199 volts so i quickly killed my main breaker & called the power co & did loose an brand new Window unit but hopefully thaT WAS all Lost
