Pediatric Dentist by trade, but mostly home maintenance and repair-videos (which will hopefully help in some way). Probably better, more well produced videos out there, but maybe you can find something extra. I do my own plumbing, heating, AC electrical if I can. 608 universally certified so I can work with refrigerants, and never too old to learn from you- so please leave a comment if you have something to add!
Live by words of my dad……”it’s already broken, so don’t be afraid to try to fix it. What’s the worst thing that could happen?” (Oh and I learned the answer is irreparable damage so only try if you are willing to lose)

Thank you very much big help!
This is follow up to your comment from a different video ( Titled: "No more 0w-20 ( 2022 Subaru WRX )." Do you really have a Forester XT with an EJ engine with 250K? Is that milage on one and the same turbo? Was it always fed Mobil1 5w-30? It is a remarkable milage for that engine. It is detuned a bit in the Forester XT compared to the WRX. Maybe that is why you did so well. What kind of driving may I ask? Sorry for so many questions but your case is very interesting. Most Subaru turbos don't make it much past 100k.
@@sezwo5774 I just saw it and answered your question in the other video. You can see the forester at some point sitting in the driveway in this video at 11:24 And for what it's worth in my new WRX, I switched over to 5W30 after my first oil change.
Very smart move. Thanks a lot. It is a very helpful show. I am going to work on mine now.
Good luck. If I could be of any help feel free to ask here and I'll try to answer
Great job on the video and explanation
Very much appreciated! Thanks for taking the time to write and hope it helps
Will this work on oem sensors? (Rav4)
@@Ydoit what are you looking to do? Reprogram the sensor? I think it can only reprogram Autel sensors but it will read and turn off the light in most cars as I understand it.
@@Samlol23_drrich i have a 2010 rav4 and bought 2020 wheels with its oem sensor. Trying to get the car to work with new sensors.
@@Ydoitso I'm looking at the maxitpms as I'm typing this. There are a lot of rav4s. It looks like the 2010 car has 315mhz sensors so as long as the tires and wheel you bought also have 315mhz you should be good. But there are a lot of 2020 choices. Here's what it says. There are 4 types of possible wheels in 2020. EOOO, CO15, TRW are all 315mhz and will work. If the wheels you bought are XA50 (whatever that means)/those operate at 433mhz and probably won't work in a 2010 no matter what reset tool you have cause they didn't use that frequency in 2010 if that makes sense. Good luck. Otherwise it will work with any of the 315mhz sensors and your 10 rav4
The thing catches tons of insects. Has really helped. I buy a new plastic top for about $10 each spring.
Not too many videos of “real people” (me) trying to fix something they haven’t before,so I figured I’d make this one. Are most dentists just gonna call someone and spend $1000 or more when they get an error code? Probably, but that’s not me. I enjoy the challenge of repairing my own things, if I can. In reality, this was no more than a few screws to swap out the pump. I suggest you download the service manual first, as there are 3 types of water pumps, and the tubing can be of a different diameter that affects how much water the pump is transferring to the boiler.
The only annoying noise I heard was your wife in the background nagging at you
this is The video that shows how to repair the noise that I showed in the first video. My wife had no idea I was working on the washer. She is the least nagging person in this world. I'm extremely lucky.
Super helpful
Around 4:30 am it knocked over our trash can and knocked over our wooden carved bear (holding a sign with our street address). Maybe it was offended……
"...a few dollars more...", really? The K300 is about $520, the S550E is about $820, a $300 difference. That's more than 'a few dollars' to most people. For $300 more I expect differences beyond just a nicer remote.
I guess you are right. I figured that anyone with $500 to waste on a heated toilet seat with a bidet would waste $800 without too much thought as to price.
@@Samlol23_drrich I guess it depends on what differences were coming with that $300. In this case, it truly sounds like nothing more than a slightly better remote control? In any case now that I've looked into them, the S550e is off the table anyway because it only comes in 'elongated' form, not 'round' which is what our toilets are.
@Sudz28 Well if you are looking to buy one, they no longer make the 550e so search around so you don't wind up with a discontinued model unless that is what you want. The 550 had unlimited hot water (no reservoir) as well as the design was more like an actual toilet seat. It was sleeker and lower which was appealing to me so it wasn't just the remote.
@@Samlol23_drrich Thanks, it actually looks like Toto only has the following current models in a 'round' offering (vice elongated): C2, C200, C5, S300e, and S350e. Maybe I just need to look at the Bio Bidet BB2000, it seems comparable to those but cheaper.
@@Sudz28 all of the toilets in my current house are elongated so fortunately I didn't have to deal with it. Im sure they are all similar. Someone commented on this video that he has installed a lot of Toto bidet seats and they all move left and right (wiggle slightly) even if the bracket is very tight, and that is true. It's annoying. Maybe you will have better luck with a different brand. Good luck!
Thank you for the great video. For that inner screw that was so hard to get to, I just drilled a single rivet off the bottom which allowed the tank and the metal L bracket to be lifted out together. When I was done replacing the water pump I just put a new rivet in the bottom L bracket.
Really great idea/ suggestion. Maybe next time around (there WILL unfortunately be a next time) I’ll drill out the rivet and replace it with some sort of bolt and nut since I don’t have a riveter (not even sure that’s a word). Thanks for commenting - very small audience for this type of video……
By the way, thanks to you I’m gonna buy a rivet gun. Not bad to have since I’ve got almost everything else.
Thank you 👍🏻👍🏿
Can you put a indoor coil under the house meaning the crawl spaces or do it have to be a outdoor coil??
You can put the air handler in an attic or basement. I've never seen one in a crawl space but you should ask someone in the field. I'm not. Sorry.
Wow. You just saved me 2 days worth of troubleshooting. My issue was identical and I would have gone through everything you went though. Because of the video I went straight to the microswitch, clean it and bam it worked!
How could I not “heart” your comment? Thanks for letting me know and glad it’s working. I’ve got 3 extra switches in my drawer- never even needed the one. But when I do……
@@Samlol23_drrich was like watching mystery documentary ;). Every step you took is exactly the path i was going to head but did not know where everything was located. I was so glad to see the ending . The switch which i did not know was even there made perfect sense as the igniter was fine when the back burner was igniting. But when I used the front burner knob the igniter was intermittent. I was scratching my head as to how it could be knob specific unless it was the module which I also did not know the location. Great video
@@tcorker11 I was as surprised as anyone to see there were microswitches behind the front panel. I usually kick myself that I didn’t make a video after the fact- this time I decided to let the camera record as I was trying to figure it out. There are certain things the “pros” don’t make videos showing us laypeople how to fix, and this Wolf range was one of them. That’s why as a non expert I decided to put the video out there. I got lucky and it worked. Thanks again for commenting.
Great video!Very helpful!👍👍Thanks!!
Thank you as well for leaving a comment. It's very much appreciated
I used that same fuse (seat heater) to plug in my dashcam's parking mode since it seems to always have power. Do you find your battery pack remains at full % and your car battery runs down any with that setup? I'm debating adding this battery pack to my 2023 wrx as I'm only getting a couple hours of recording at night before the low voltage cutoff trips and the camera turns off.
Well, one of us is wrong about the seat heater fuse, and I don’t think it’s me. Just went over to my car and you can’t even access the seat heaters with the car off, it’s part of the infotainment system. The seat heats go off and only work when the car is running so if your dashcam runs in park mode, it’s not hooked up to the seat heater fuse unless that’s the fuse you used for the running mode. The off mode fuses are things like the horn and brake lights and interior lights that work when the ignition is off. I have 2 Lukas black box dashcams and one 2 channel black view in my other 3 cars. They all use the car battery in park mode and like you I only get a couple of hours and once a car didn’t start because of the battery being over drained. The dedicated battery is great. I get at least 8 hours but not too much more. I really don’t need more, and if I chose a mode that recorded less I could probably get more. It’s worth the money considering car batteries are really expensive now.
I’m no expert but I did use a multimeter to test all the fuses with the car off and for some strange reason the 20 amp seat heater fuse has power! I just ran out to the car and pulled the taps and retested, seat heater has power with the vehicle off and ACC (2nd down from the top right) does not. There’s a video floating around on KZread of a guy installing a hardwire kit in a 2022 WRX and he also tests the fuses.
@@cansol7183 okay, honestly I didn’t test them, if you did and it’s working I’d assume that it has power. However, I then can’t explain why when I turn my car off the dashcam says “switching to parking mode” that relies on there being no power to the unit. And if the fuse was powered all the time that wouldn’t happen in this particular dashcam. But the battery backup is worth the cost.
So I used that product and after 3 days it it still not dried...anybody experienced the same?
Honestly wiped up everything I could see or feel and whatever left was under the tile so I’m not sure. It’s still holding in my case. Sorry it didn’t seem to dry.
Ok lets See how it goes. I guess it must dry at some point
The alarm is real faint, any way to bring it up a bit!
Mine isn't faint
taking a long shot here, not even sure you still monitor this video but I have the exact same model and its showing system CPU fail Start Ray Input. Any ideas on what that is and how to fix it? Thanks in advance!
Do you have the service manual? I've never even read anything that sounds like that
Thank you! Every manual on their site insists that this has a red button, and mine definitely does not and it's only 2 years old!
Great vid, thanks for putting it together!
Thanks for commenting!
I have an orange pueblo nishiki, I don’t need anything fancy. Mine’s held up for 3 years so far.
Thanks for commenting. Yeah, they’ve definitely been great so far. No issues at all.
Perfect
You mean I F not I O
No, they are two different faults. IO is “igniter open circuit” and IF is “ignition fault”. Here’s their service manual. See page .32 www.haywardnet.com/pdfs/uhs-heater-troubleshooting-guide.pdf. But thanks for commenting and watching.
@@Samlol23_drrich well mine first read SF then IF we changed the ignite n still not heating up
@lindalisten1516 did you have the service manual I linked above? If not download and follow the flow chart. It's great
Thank you. Just what I was looking for. Great job on your installation and system. I was I was able to do mine like that. Unfortunately, being handicapped I’m limited in what I can do. I enjoyed watching your video and hearing your thoughts.
Thank you for a really nice comment. They do make a dongle that will work over wifi, however both the mini and your primary unit need to be on the same network. It didn’t work because of the layout of my house, but it might work for your home. I’ve gotten a few comments from people that have used the wifi successfully. Thank you again for the nice comment.
The whole purpose of that cleaner is that it needs to sit on the coils for 10 or so minutes so it will foam up and push the crap out. Rinsing immediately accomplished nothing.
I guess you didn’t read through the comments because I answered that years ago. of course it needs to dwell for at least 10 minutes to get into the coil and work on the dirt. The video is edited for time. I should have put a little chyron on the video mentioning that. Heck the stuff I bought isn’t even supposed to be washed off. Appreciate the comment though cause if I washed it off immediately you would be right.
It's not a big floor, but it's a beautiful floor.
That's how you do laundry. ASMR for this washer is in order, even with the lid shut on small and heavy duty.
Thank you brother ! I'm facing the same repair as soon as Amazon delivers the part.
Getting ready to do this for the first time. I appreciate your detailed video. So many things we do around the house require watching 6 videos to get all the pieces of info. You have our exact model, so hoping for no surprises when we get in there.
There shouldnt be any surprises. Ive done this twice now. It really helps. Just make sure to be careful when you remove the sand. Id suggest using your hands when you get low so you dont break the " fingers". Apparently, if you unscrew the larger part of the drain on the bottom You can just spray water in there and the sand will come out but I was afraid to force it. Good luck!
@@Samlol23_drrich Our drain at the bottom was nowhere near the size of yours (I literally could not get my pinky finger in there). I did read through all the comments and I saw the one guy’s suggestion to do that … wish we could have. The fingers/laterals in ours were fat and rounds and looked like a cage. They were pretty sturdy. But we did take caution in those areas. We ended up getting down to those and in between them by hand scooping. Hubby and I took turns and it took about 2-3 hours. We then filled a little ways with water, loosening the sand we couldn’t get to so easily. Then we shop vac’d out the last of it - did that process about 3 times. It was obvious that this was way overdue. There was probably sand that was compacted and not even allowing water to penetrate. From beginning to end, the full process took us about 5.5 hours with the only breaks we took being when we alternated scooping. Again, your video was great. We have almost the exact same model. One note I’ll add for your viewers … we both ended up with skin irritation on our scooping arms. We don’t know if it was a reaction to the silica in the sand, or if it was little metal shavings from the opening that we were rubbing against while scooping. It definitely felt like little metal shavings, but can’t be sure. A good thick body lotion applied made it all better. If I could find a full arm neoprene sleeve or something similar, I’ll use that next time. Thanks for the quick reply! Great video!
Yep I had the same problem, they would not give me the service manuals, after having a less than friendly conversation with Hayward and explaining to them that first I cannot even get a service person to come to check it out, second, once I found someone they wanted $250 just to come out.. They did send me the service manuals. The first problem was the control board for the panel, that was a $900 part.. Then was the control board and display board for the heater. That was tks to mice that had built a nest and chewed at the wiring. I fixed it all myself, was easy, did not require a so-called service tech. basic tools, philips screwdriver and a volt-ohm meter.
Its incredible how many openings there are in something that sits outside. Rodents get into mine every year. No matter what i do. They seem to like the sides where the flow switch sits. Thanks for commenting
Thank you SOOOOOOO much for this amazing video. Got one delivered unassembled and the instructions SUCK. Could not figure out the handlebar brakes! Thank you!!!!
Glad it helped! Thanks for the nice comment, it made my day. (At least yours HAD instructions!)
@@Samlol23_drrich literally saved my day! 💪🏾
Is this 24 inch bike?
Yes, I believe it is. I’ll edit this post when my wife is around and I can ask her. She ordered them.
New pool owner, i seriously thought my pool closing company had pulled some wires loose on purpose... opened it up and multiple wires were completely bare or chewed apart. Time to get to work :D
It’s a constant battle. I thought I sealed up my heater well, but this spring tons of acorns in there. The spa blower wires were shredded. I had to replace both high voltage wires. Just need to be vigilant.
Thanks for the video. Found mice nest and they chewed through the ignition sensor wire! 😡 I see that this video is 2 years old- did the steel wool help? Have you gotten any more critters since?
@CynthiaFeuer the steel wool didn't even help a little. Just before Memorial Day the water cleared and I went to test the heater- opened it up and at least 100 acorn shells. They were on both sides as well. There's really no way around it. They get into my central AC units as well. I even tried to seal up evert opening for the winter and they still found a way in. They actually got into the electrical compartment of my Spa blower this year. Whoever installed it put stress on the PVC and it cracked away from the housing. Maybe a 1" hole 2 feet from the ground. Well blower wasn't working so I opened it up and 2 wires were chewed through. Good luck keeping them away. You could try moth balls or poison...
So helpful!
Glad.
I recommend distilled water to rinse but my tap water is extremely hard.
Not a bad idea. You don’t have a softener?
Rotating discharge pipe that you connected, you just used regular sp14953s union on it?
Yes. Just a regular union. The intention was to slightly loosen the union nut to raise and lower the outlet, but at this point the connection screwed into the filter is looser than the union and I’m too lazy to break out the big pipe wrench so I just let that connection screw in or out. It’s only 1/4 of a turn so it’s fine.
@@Samlol23_drrich thank you
@@AlexK07010 no prob. Good luck if you’re making one. I use it every time I service my pool and it’s so much better than when I used to attach to the skimmers. Directly. In theory you could just use a male adapter into the filter. Once it’s screwed all the way in, come out a couple of inches and then a 90 with a couple of feet to return the water into the pool. Then to raise it up, you would unscrew it from the filter. Of course at that point the only way to disassemble would be to cut the long piece, so I wouldn’t glue that to the 90. And it would be fine.
@@Samlol23_drrich yep in the process of making one. Ive been using my super pump with discharge hose but that looses too much water so just got the filter to recirculate it instead of wasting. I might put a 3 way valve on as well to be able to still use my discharge hose bypassing the filter
Thanks so much for making this video. Just discovered my 23 limited doesn't have a spare... pure BS
It absolutely is. I can’t drive around without a spare. Bad enough some vehicles have run flats- but to not use run-flat tires and not include a spare is an insult.
Thanks for showing your setup! Been trying to find info on the mini lux!
No problem. Glad it helped- Of course as usual. I got the idea to make the video after it was already installed. It would have been nice if I made a video actually installing it so I apologize
This was super helpful, I used it step by step to assemble mine. Thanks a lot man!
How do you replace the washer one if it snapped and broke off 😢
What about the one for the type of wash mine just broke off the knob by itself in the right
Does the Mini LUX have the WiFi built it or do you have to but a separate dongle for it? My home WiFi will have no problem using this wirelessly.
Holy cow I’m not positive so I don’t want to give you the wrong information. I THINK I had to buy a wifi dongle that I wound up returning because of the connectivity and distance from the router. I’ll rewatch the video. If it comes to me I’ll edit this post. Thanks for watching. It’s fantastic though. No different from the main box and system edit. Start watching at 1:20. Yes you would need a dongle and it needs to be on the same network as the main box.
@@Samlol23_drrich Thanks. Bet you never thought a question like this would come up.
@@blakstar64 you’re right but any questions feel free to ask and I’ll do my best to answer!
If you look at 20:18 what I’m “installing” is exactly how it was in the box. So yes, the seat was already attached to the post Can’t say it’s that way with every bike, but unless it’s very high end I think they are already together. Thanks for watching.
Does the seat come already assembled?
Hi Sam, still OK?
Me or the tile repair?? But seriously, yes still perfect
What was the problem when u replace brake pads on the he washer.
Someone commented that I had so much trouble with the transmission moving in both directions because my brakes needed to be replaced. I’m not sure if he was right, but I rigged my machine so it runs with the lid opened, and I see a big difference. Now as the agitator moves back and forth, the basket with clothes grabs in one direction so the basket slowly moves clockwise only about 3 inches per agitation and doesn’t go back in the other direction. It’s a one way slow spin of the basket, and all of the clothes now contact the agitator better.
The sealant and loctite and the paper applied to clean that part and the soap do they come out with the sealant and bearing when buying them or you buy them separately
They all came in the kit I ordered. It had everything including the sealant- but I think you now need to buy that separately.
good
