John, thanks so much. This is helpful. I have a different model of GE refrigerator, but I think the failed light is the same as yours--a failed LED circuit board. Like you, we've had the refrigerator for only about 2 years. Also, John, I was confused about the resistances that you were reading. You said for the failed board the resistance was about 9 ohms. For the new board it was 10 kohms, for the good one from your refrigerator it was 10.3 ohms. It seems that maybe you meant kiloohms for all three measurements. Is that true? One other thing that may be helpful to you is that when making resistance measurements in a dc circuit, polarity of the meter probes can matter. The way that an ohmmeter works is that it applies a small dc voltage to the circuit or component whose resistance you want to measure, and then it measures the current through the meter. The designer of the meter, then builds the meter so that it displays the division of the voltage applied by the meter by the current through the meter, which of course, is resistance in ohms. Manufacturers of ohmmeters don't necessarily make the red lead of the meter the positive side of the small dc supply. I believe that Fluke does make the red lead positive, but I've used many meters where the red lead is negative on the ohms scale. Most of the time, it does not matter, but it does matter, say, when trying to determine if a diode is good, and it probably is different with the LED circuit board. You can know which is positive of your Fluke meter by setting the Fluke to ohms and measuring the dc voltage between the Fluke leads with another meter. When measuring the resistance of the GE circuit board when removed from the refrigerator, it would be best to connect the positive lead of your ohmmeter to the positive side of the circuit board connector.

Now u just need a edger. 😊

I bought 2 WIX filters years ago and after installing the first one I had air/fuel problems. Now seeing how easy they are put together I see why. Once that center piece loosens then the outer shell seal will leak. What genius came up with that idea? Well I'll stick with a metal can filter as it's a rolled seal to the outer shell.

Foot/Inches??😂

Wow and i thought wix was one of the best . Guess i stick with ac delco . Thanks for the video .

Some tech probably rounded the nuts off with SAE 9/16 socket substituting for 15mm with a 3/8 drive impact. Rule of thumb for you guys learning… Unless life or death use Metric for metric. SAE or Society of Automotive Engineers use inches fractions. Although you can crossover and make it work it will always round them off with power tools. If you have to use them on hand tools find the closest fit possible although I don’t recommend it. When you purchase a socket set just get SAE/ MM in the set that way you are covered. Although it’s quicker I recommend using hand tools until you get up to at least 1/2 bolt. Leave the impacts for the bigger jobs. Last but not least check your torque value with calibrated torque wrench.

THANKS!! Huge help, I was able to find the bad LED strip. One was out and the other two were lit, I jumped the prongs and boom! LET THERE BE LIGHT.

There a two small plastic covers for the fuses on the battery. Right next to the locking mechanism. No need to take the battery apart. Good video though. Thanks.

I came to this video wondering the hell was up with this year model drain plug. It starts draining oil shortly after the bolt is loosened. Which I've never experienced before. Generally the oil doesn't start draining until towards the end of the threads on the drain bolt.

You are quite the character- can't get more thorough than that- thanks for your help

Duct seal or 🐒 💩

You saved a lot of money I will order the part on Amazon That’s where u got it ! Thank you

7:58... I'm still laughing! Time to buy my first filter.So glad I found this.

Ive replaced bloqer motor, resistor, fuses and ckntrol panwl, still cant get mine to come on

Really helpful!! Didn’t know that about smiley side up!!

1:14 Looks like the blade is on backwards. I think the blade is designed to rotate one direction. The arrow should be pointing the other direction?

John, thank you for creating and sharing this exceptional step-by-step diagnostic education video. It's truly one of the best I've come across on this topic.

I have two Orbit hard top heads that demonstrate the same if not the exact same issue as described in the video. I resolved the problem by replacing the seal with new ones from new Orbit plastic heads. The seals are not the same, but they fit decently enough that the sprinkler stem does not bind up during travel. I am convinced that Orbit has redesigned the sprinklers since this video was created. They appear different. I'll let you know how long this fix will last.

Hello John - As a retired HVAC Contractor and former Floridian I have to give you an A+ on your "How to install a Whole House Generac generator. You covered points that licensed electricians do not follow as per electrical regulations. I recently inspected a job where the electrician installed the generator conductors within the Meter Can (feeding back "source generator power") to the electrical service panel which is against code...good catch by you. It makes sense not to have two (2) power sources enclosed in the Utility Meter can. My planned installation (11/2024) requires the generator to be 18 ft. away (inside an enclosed fenced area) from the transfer box. The conductors wrapped in the orange vinyl from Ziller electric is a brilliant idea opposed to running separate conductors and (6) wire for the control leads. Questions: 1) Did you confirm in the instructional booklet that it was acceptable to incorporate the control leads with the conductors in a pre-fabed conductor cabling as you installed from the "transfer switch to the generator". You simulated a power failure at the end of your video resulting in the generator engaging and running. It was a successful start and I assume there is no magnetic interference between the (240 v line conductors) and the control wires supplied in the single vinyl wrap. I have seen other videos where the electrician installed a separate 1/2" pvc conduit to run the control wiring. Your method saves additional time, materials, and expense to incorporate all of the wires in a single vinyl sleeve. 2) We have frequent loss of power in Texas suburbs outside of Houston (power outage for 30 minutes or longer) which is not related to storms. It would be very helpful to know if there are "optional delay settings" available within the programming of the Generac generator in order to create a delayed "auto-start" once a power loss is detected "to avoid nuisance sound with regard to neighbors," and the maximum time provided in the programming for a delayed generator start. FYI...perhaps an idea for a "future video" providing those self installers like myself an outline for programming, maintenance of the (compressor / battery), noise level, and natural gas consumption of the generator. Also, will this effect sufficient N.G. flow to a gas burning furnace during the winter months with both furnace and generator operational? All good information to know when using a generator in the winter months. Your video is the best I have seen on TH-cam providing explicit details for the entire installation. Very well done and I highly recommend your video to anyone planning to undertake the installation of a "Whole House Generator.' I think it would be helpful for professional installers and electricians to view it as well in order to provide an optimal installation. This is an excellent instructional video. Thanks John for sharing your expertise concerning the installation of the Generac generator.

Hi My Freezer is cold 0 degrees, but the fridge is not cooling 55 degrees. At this point with my Frigidaire GLHS67EHQ side-by-side refrigerator, I’ve replaced the damper assembly, that did not fix it. I cleaned the condenser coil. Then I replaced the evaporator fan motor and blade (which was running), that did not fix it. Although the compressor was working, I decided to install a new start device since the unit is 12 years old and I was already cleaning the condenser coil. The damper is open, and air is flowing, but there doesn’t seem to be much velocity. The freezer is cold, but the fridge side remains warm. There’s no corrosion on any lines I can see. There’s no ice buildup on the evaporator Just a small amount of frost. Finally, I replaced the control panel, but that didn’t resolve the cooling issue on the fridge side either. I’ve checked and rechecked everything, including re-crimping the evaporator thermostat wires to ensure they were properly connected, but the problem persists. I’ve also removed the ice maker and top back panel to check for obstructions, and everything looks good. The vent by the crisper is clear as well. At this point about the only thing that I did not replace is the thermistors. I tested the fridge thermistor, it is opening and closing the damper as it should. I’ve been working on this for days and am not sure what else I can check. Any further guidance would be greatly appreciated! The only thing I can think of now, is the fan moving enough air? Thanks for any ideas in advance. Dean

Can you get parts in 10 years ?

Thank you so much this video is a great big help......

It was helpful. Has the same problem. Fridge 18 months old.

😮I won’t be waving my hand toward a moving skill saw like that but otherwise good info thank you!

The Florida pool pump motor repair guy 32750 approved ! that was good info & see = Fx it John

My neighbor got a 22kw generac but upon looking at the main breaker panel the installer took out the 200 amp breaker in the transfer switch and replaced it with a 150 amp breaker. Guess it was because the existing main panel was only 150 amp. That begs the question that they oversized the generator in the first place.

This is the best money you will ever spend. So nice that when the lights go out in a few seconds they come back on and no need to worry about where you are going to find gas after a hurricane

Great video thank you it helped out so much keep the videos coming bro good job 👍

Hi John! Thank you so much for the video. Is the torque setting for the drain bolt and pan bolts the same?

Thank you. I was looking for #2

Not a car guy. This walked me right through getting it fixed. Thanks, Liked&Subscribed.

I always put the wax ring on the flange.

Can you help me diagnose an issue with mine . Blower motor comes on and off randomly . Still blows very cold when it decides to turn on

Builders put nice looking tile roofs on homes, but the underlayment and what is underneath is poor quality...it rips, tears, disintegrates...and then leaks.

Yeah I’m a big believer in longer intervals between rotation on trucks. As long as you have a good alignment. I do 15 to 20k rotations. Front wheel drive front engine need every 6000. The weight of the motor and drive wheels will wear significantly faster. How I’ve always done it. I always tell people to use their tire change jack as a jack stand if they don’t have actual jack stands.

This is an incredibly helpful resource and video! 😊 Thank you for creating instructional content like this while offering and sharing your wisdom and expertise. ❤❤❤❤

I have a 2024 model gotta free first oil change at the dealer on mine and my oil pressure gauge is reading low.... I looked under the truck no oil leaks oil filter is good, oil pan is good no sign of leaks anywhere... I checked the oil dipstick it's says it's full... idk 🤷‍♂️ whats up but its annoying me anyone got any ideas ?? I plan on bringing it back soon

Bark up,cup. Bark down, crown.

I did learn a lot Thank you for detail video .

there is not one video to show me how to remove the black pipe and iron rim flange which are two different pieces. I am trying to pry the black piece that goes into the drain before i can cut the iron flange. i ned a video to show me how to do this?

Wild dude. I'm just getting ready to install my WIX 3 years after you made this video. I open the box and it's loose just like yours. Crazy. Off to buy a better filter.

great vidio

Golden vid thanks learned a few extra tips 🙏

Can you share a link for the replacement cable wire harness from Amazon?

I would rather spend the time using my drill than using the hack saw that came with the replacement wheels. I didn't want to injure myself or damage the suitcase using a circular saw. Thank you for this video.

Never seen a backflow preventer on a spigot before.

After a power outage : Generator came on as expected but when power was restored the system would not transfer to utility. A wire came off the utility side solenoid and before I noticed the wire I had pushed the red trip button on the main 200 amp breaker to test but after I reconnected the utility solenoid wire the breaker won't reset. Is there something I'm missing on setting/closing the breaker. Do I need to kill the generator before closing the 200 amp breaker before it will set?

So you don’t need to drain the reservoir? How about the bleeding process?

Really nice job! The only comment I have is that when I'm doing a job with very heavy cable I will pre-run the cable past any tight turns before I glue that particular piece of conduit. When I saw you glue that 90 before putting the cable through I knew you were going to have trouble.

I am adding a 50amp outlet for a generator. I don't have any more spots on the neutral bus bar. Adding a neutral bus bar, do I need to jump it with 6 ga wire.to the existing neutral bus bar.
