Hello Everybody, This is about my stove top. The elements are not setting into the terminal block correctly. I can not get them in myself a lot of the time, and when they are in it does not take much to bump them loose. Does the whole terminal block have to be replaced or is there maybe

Phil, Not sure what watch you have, but most have a mode button. On mine, it is with the watch facing up, the upper left hand button. Once you have it in the 12/24 or military mode. the minute button, which is on the bottom right will turn the watch into the 12 hour mode. the button on the

Hey Again, Ray's post reminded me about something else I have been meaning to ask. The sliding glass door on the back of my house is in backwards. It was this way when we bought the house and I do not know why anyone thought it was a good idea. Anyway, the track where you can normally put

It shouldn't be that hard to take out of the track. What I don't know is how hard it will be to flip it around. Things to think about would be is the lock going to end up on the outside? The handles could be backward. What it sounds like is the doors may be backwards and the sliding door

On electric units I've worked on, the elements have to snap into the block to lock in. If they don't lock in, they'll just fall back out when in use. Does this make sense? Are you able to feel them snap or lock in when you insert the two ends of the elements? You may have to aggressively

They do not snap or lock in. They can be still used, but a slight bump moves them out of place. Jennifer - Original Message - From: Rick Hume To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, May 27, 2010 5:53 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] stove top terminal block

I know a lot of people like the cooktop stoves, smooth top as you call it, but I don't care for them. Before you ever buy one, check the price of replacements. When I dispatched for Sears, they sold anywhere from $450 to over $1000. That is just the top, not the oven too. Why do you need
