Why Does My Power Inverter Output Voltage Read Low?
Here is a video I created for you that explains why a squarewave inverter's output voltage can measure low AC output volts. Note: squarewave inverters can also be called quasiwave and modified sinewave inverters as well.

Key Fob Battery Replacement - Key Fob Battery Low
When it is time to replace
your key fob battery this video should help. My vehicle recently gave me a key
fob battery low warning on the dash display. Some vehicles may not indicate a
keyfob low battery. However, you should notice a decrease in range when your
key fob battery runs low.
This key fob used a CR1632
lithium battery. I have also seen the common CR2032 lithium battery used in
keyless entry remotes, transponders and in other consumer electronics like
bathroom scales, wireless security system transmitters, etc. So you might want
to keep a couple of both batteries on hand just in case.

Maytag Neptune MAH4000 Spin Cycle Power Draw Via Kill A Watt Power Meter Before Tub Bearing Swap
I was playing with a Kill A Watt power meter and a MAH4000 Maytag Neptune washer to see how much power the Neptune was drawing with an empty basket. I was trying to determine if the power draw could be an indicator that the seal and bearings have failed. This power check was before the bearing replacement…
I also performed the power draw check after the bearing replacement. Go ahead and watch the video.
Let me know any comments or questions you have below.
Thank you,

AED Defibrillator – Zoll AED Plus Demonstration - what is AED?
AED
stands for Automatic External Defibrillator and they can mean survival to
someone experiencing a cardiac arrest. Portable defibrillators are more
affordable today and they are easier to use due to voice technology and don’t
be surprised when you see an AED for home use...
You may
be asking … What is a defibrillator? Here is a blurb I found online… “An
automated external defibrillator (AED) is a portable device that checks
the heart rhythm. If needed, it can send an electric shock to the heart to try
to restore a normal rhythm. AEDs are used to treat sudden cardiac arrest
(SCA).”
I
recently replaced AED batteries in a Zoll AED Plus and here is a short video I
created as a demonstration for you based on Zoll’s website. The battery swap
was very easy and only happens every 5 years on this particular Zoll AED plus
model. The earlier Zoll AED Plus models with software 5.18 or less need to be
replaced every 3 years.
The
voice sound is pretty loud on the Zoll AED Plus because it has to be heard in a
number of environments.
I hope
this video was helpful to you.
Do you know anyone who was given a second chance by an AED during a sudden cardiac arrest?

110.73012101 Kenmore Elite dryer not heating, gas dryer no heat, how to fix a dryer
Appliance Parts - My friend was having a dryer issue where it would not dry
the clothes or it was taking longer to dry so I stopped by to take a look at
it. I went ahead and brought a replacement gas dryer ignitor or hot surface
ignitor (HSI) with me because that is a common part to fail since they
thermally cycle in their normal operation and eventually wear out. This particular
dryer had the lower kick panel so I can remove it and have a good view of the
gas valve assembly. When I was there watching it… of course it worked without
failure.
About a week later they called again so I stopped by and
took another look. When I first started up dryer the HSI ignitor glowed and the
gas valve clicked and she fired up. I waited until the gas valve shut off and
wanted to see if it would relight properly. It turns out… it lit properly
sometimes and sometimes not. Knowing that the common dryer problems are
the ignitor and coils on the gas valve I would focus on the coils
because the ignitor is glowing just fine.
Next, I ordered the 279834 coil set and changed them out and
that was the problem. You can visit www.washerbearings.com/parts to order replacement parts other than tub bearings and seal. Have your model number available.
Don’t forget safety when working on appliances. Make sure
you unplug the power cord before opening the appliance. When changing the 279834
coils… Be aware that there is a metal sleeve on the post that has the 3
terminal coil on it. Make sure you have that metal sleeve on the post because
it can come off with the old coil and remain inside it. That valve post with
the 3 terminal coil needs to have the metal sleeve on it to work properly.
Don’t lose the metal sleeve because I don’t believe you can order that part and
you will probably have to order a new gas valve to get one.
Thanks to this easy and low cost repair we saved another
appliance from the grave yard! Tip: I had to use a short stubby Philips
screwdriver in order to get the bracket off that clamps the coils down.
Otherwise, I would have had to take the machine apart. If you don’t have the
separate kick panel on the bottom on your dryer you will have to dive deeper
into the dis assembly process to get to the gas valve assembly.
By the way… I measured the new coils and the old coils with
an ohmmeter.
New Coil #1 (3
terminal) Old
Coil #1
1-2 = 2.97K Ohms 1-2
= Open
2-3= 3.54K Ohms 2-3=
Open
1-3= 2.1K Ohms 1-3=
727 Ohms
New Coil #2 (2
terminal) Old
Coil #2
1-2 = 1.45K ohms 1.276K
ohms
We can now understand why the dryer was failing to activate
the gas valve properly… The old coil with 3 terminals has opened up internally.
I hope this post helped you get your dryer repaired and back
in operation with minimal cost and effort.
While you are here… I offer bearing and seal kits for
washers at my www.washerbearings.com.
If you have a Maytag Neptune, Whirlpool Duet, Kenmore Elite and others you can
save big time and keep your machine out of the grave yard and keep more cash in
your wallet!
Thank you,
Jeff Hartman
