broken drain pump - help? Whew. Got thru Christmas and 2 weeks of laryngitis. Ready to go again. It looks like the timer is working, but the hose from the drain pump is messed up. I can get more hose at the local big box, but on the drain pump, the plastic part of it where the hose is/was...

Electrical in the house is now resolved. I had: 1. a bad connection (clip or something) on one of the lines from the power company. 2. a bad breaker, and 3. a switch where the lows from two different circuits were wired together, and as it happens, they were on the A and B sides of the...
