    Try replacing the capacitor. If it’s completely bad you won’t have any sound or fan. The inside air handler is a different system so it will blow air even if the outside unit isn’t being powered.

    We bought our house in 2020 and all three toilets over time went from pristine white with standard, regular cleaning to...red/brown/black stains. We have well water and after enough googling I realized it was build up of minerals over time. We know our water is high in manganese. I picked up your recommendation and let it sit over night. While I totally skipped the warm water part, it cleared up 90% of what was in the tank minus a little debris at the edges. Awesome video, extremely helpful, this did exactly what it needed to do. Thanks!

    your hands blocked your multimeter screen, could't see the reading results. Also, Though I'm a little, little bit deaf, I didn't hear the beep but once, and you stated the switch was good, I'll take your wood, Is it possible that the switch could indicate continunity but have too much of resistance for elictrical current flow?

    Sorry. You made two major errors. One was being 1000 ohms off several times, which you corrected once in the voice over. The other was referring to the broken plug as having no resistance. No resistance would be indicated by 0. Your meter showed no conductivity, the opposite of no resistance.
