Signs you may need a new water heater
In this Video JJ with Merit Plumbing show you signs to look for that may indicate you need to replace your water heater.
Signs you may need to replace your water heater:
➡️Age-If your water heater is 10 years or older. Check the rating label sticker on the side of the water heater. Some brands will have the date the hot water heater was made written on the lable. Others will have it as either a letter or number code in the serial number. A quick google search of your manufacturer and serial number date code will pull up a website that will tell you how to read the serial number.
➡️There are rust stains on the exterior of the water heater.
➡️There is corrosion at the plumbing connections on the top or side of the water heater.
➡️You no longer get as much hot water as you used to or any other issue with the way it is heating.
➡️Rust colored water when you run hot water.
➡️Water at the base of the water heater and water in the pan.

The blades do NOT do a full 360, as there are… parts in the way that stop them from making a full circle - bumps in the metal (idk how to explain what they look like?!) as well as 2 bump things on either side of what holds the dang thing together) How does one in-jam MY type of Moen? I am FRUSTRATED! 🫠

    Although I didn’t have either tool to try and fix mine, it gave me a good point of reference, I started with a 9 mm wrench for the bottom tried twisting that didn’t work, so then I went in with a butter, knife and scraped around the edges just to find a piece of glass jammed in mine, which went down after I tapped it. So this might help as well.

  • @mattdaddy81
    @mattdaddy81 2 місяці тому

    Try cleaning with baking soda and distilled white vinegar first: So my Moen garbage disposal was jammed up pretty bad. I usually use a small pry bar and push against one of the chopper blades to get it freed up. This time it not want to free up at all with a pry bar at all. I tried a method of cleaning garbage disposals using baking soda and distilled white vinegar. I don't usually measure it out but I dumped around 1/3 cup baking soda and then dumped in 1 cup distilled white vinegar. I let is sit for a minute while I went and got my pry bar. I came back and tried to move it and it was freed up like it was not jammed at all. If this didn't work I was going to have to replace it.

    Such a poor design - I replaced my old insinkerator of about 15 years and once in a while it got jammed but just used the allen wrench to work it free. Now, I had to take a wooden spoon and move the blades around which eventually worked but again, a poor design IMO.

    Thank you so very much!! Our Moen Garbage Disposal was less than 2 years old in our vacation home in Florida. The darn thing was jammed, we heard the hum of the motor, hit the reset button, nothing...we saw your video. Ordered the part on Amazon...a day later the tool you showed arrived, we used it, after we unplugged it and removed the rubber gasket at the opening and the disposal is working perfect...thank you. We did have to hit the reset button again after using the tool. You saved us a service call, perhaps even purchasing a new disposal, now we have a tool for the future, if this happens again, and we can share with our neighbors who might have the same type of disposal. This should be given with the purchase of the disposal. Again, thanks!!
