    New wire for my RDE3340 Whirlpool electric range
    by wnlewis
    OK. I got the rocker switch figured out thanks to the good advice on this forum.

    Now I need to figure out the correct wire to go to the switch from the broiler element and from the oven element.

    This is a Whirlpool RDE3340 electric range.

    The common wire on the switch appears to have a high temperature insulating material. I am guessing that both the wire to the broiler and the wire to the oven elements also need relatively high temperature insulation. What do I need to look for? The broiler is rated at about 2400 watts.

    Where may I find parts...

    Lenovo Yoga 710 15ISK, 80U00002US battery cable wire broken.
    by emeskay
    We have an Lenovo Yoga 710 15ISK that we use as a secondary laptop. To cut a long story short, around May 2023, while traveling, I connected the laptop into an electrical outlet that was already switched on. Something made a "pfft" sound and the laptop refused to turn on after that. After getting back home, I gave the the laptop for repair to an informal repair person. He replaced the adapter and an internal motherboard part, but after he returned it I noticed that the LCD did not look normal. Essentially, every alternate horizontal line on the screen had gone missing. The laptop was...

    The Real Dangers of conductive glue.
    by mitsu2k
    I know many folks on this forum warn against conductive glue and suggest removing it immediately upon site. I'm here to vouch and say these people know what they are talking about. To be more accurate, the glue isn't intended to be and doesn't actually start out conductive. It gets conductive as it is heated by components that get hot. The glue starts out to be a light tan color but as it is exposed to heat, it gets darker and darker until it is a dark brown. I have found that it becomes conductive at the point that it reaches a light brown color on darker.

    Here is an experience I...

    Vintage fan repair, copper wire question
    by technicalspecialist
    I currently have a customer's vintage fan on the work bench to repair.
    It uses an induction motor with 4 poles. One of the poles is open.
    I couldn't find the break so i cut off the original wire.
    I have measured the other poles and the resistance is about 28 ohms per pole and I measured the diameter of the wire with my digital calipers and it is 0.35mm in diameter.

    I need to work out how much 0.35mm diameter enamelled copper wire i need to order for it to be 28 ohms. I have used this calculator and it says i need 160.35 metres.

    The enamelled copper...

    Heater element wire type instead of a fuse when troubleshooting a short circuit DIY
    by sam_sam_sam
    I was Ollie today which is a close out / surplus outlet store I do not go in there to often because you find things that you should not be tempted by but that is a another story

    I saw a small space heater that used a wire type of heater element which I been looking for a while but not really hard mind you but when I saw this I grabbed it I going to go back tomorrow and buy the last one that is like the one I bought today because I need the heater element and the ceramic insulators and more of heat element wire because this one has two different wattage settings one 1300 watts ( tap...
