My refrigerator trips the GFI (GFCI)?

March 15th, 2011

It only happened after we connected the copper water line.
The fridge has been in use for 2 months with no problem, until now.
I reconfigured the wiring so that the outlet behind the fridge is not gf(c)i, now it works fine.
I tested the case of the fridge to see if it had any voltage potential and, of course, it doesn’t.
I put an ammeter around the copper supply line and couldn’t see any current.
Any thoughts on why this happened?

Incidentally, it’s an old sub-zero, but new to us.
I neglected to mention that none of the circuits in the place are grounded (old apartment complex), so I added gfci protection in most places.

What light bulbs will replace those in ovens, dryers, and refrigerators?

January 25th, 2011

Especially with incandescent manufacturing ceasing. The fluorescent bulbs of today, wouldn’t survive. My microwave may cook the starter as well. You could get what you want from your freezer before a CF bulb glimmers. let alone get to full brightness. Are all incandescent bulbs to be extinct soon?

Why do I keep overeating?!?

November 22nd, 2010

I’m 15, and 125 pounds. I’m not seriously overweight, but I’m kind of chunky, so I want to lose a few pounds.

Today I was just going to have a 6" veggie sub from Subway and some water for lunch. Then, for some reason I still don’t understand, I ate two pieces of this peanut butter cup dessert that I found in the refrigerator. Then, I had a leftover buttered dinner roll. Then, to top it all off, I had two granola bars.

So instead of eating about 250 calories like I had originally planned, I ended up eating around 750. :( I am SO mad at myself, especially since I ate way too much yesterday, and the day before that.

Is there anything I can do to keep from gaining weight and feeling so awful about myself for overeating? I guess I’ll just plan on exercising a lot and not eating much the rest of the day.

November 7th, 2010

I know they used a lot of salt, but what did they do, submerge the food in salt, the same way people use ice in a cooler? Was there any other way? In the winter did they bury the food outside so it would stay cold?

Does this product, or one like it, work in cold refrigerators? I broke a shelf support and I want to fix it.?

The support is a round peg and the break is a verticle one. I don’t have any way to put a vice on it if that is required. I can hold it for a minute or so, but I don’t know if that is sufficient.

Eco Friendly India- The hottest idea for cooling: How can Solar Refrigerators minimise green house effect ?

October 20th, 2010

With a solar refrigerator, the parts of the refrigerator – the compressor, condenser, and other components don’t change. The only thing that changes is how the energy is supplied to the refrigerator. Instead of using an electrical system it uses solar power.

The refrigerant is replaced with ammonia or lithium bromide mixed with water. The heat of the sun is used to increase the pressure of the gas, which turns into a liquid, just like in an electric refrigerator. When the heat is removed, the liquid evaporates and lowers the temperature.

Has energy efficiency improved for refrigerators in the last 10-12 years?

October 18th, 2010
