While I didn't get the original post because I already previously this spaz to
my NG filter, I just added "The Real Andy" (as opposed to the pseudo any I
guess) to my filter, and will no longer see anything by him again. I'm guite
sure I won't miss anything of importance.

Most newsreaders offer ways of filtering out words, authors, ISPs, whatever you
want.

This is a newsgroup. I have no idea who runs the place, but I appreciate
it's
existence. What I don't understand is that there isn't a simple filter to
dump
posts containing the word fuck, for example. There could be a simple word
list,
which should be posted from time to time such as the repairfaq pointer.

I understand this group is unmoderated (or it appears so with posts like
that),
but this could be a simple automated process. I was interested in
electronics
at 8 years old, and had we computers and internet, , , , , , what could
happen.

Now in my personal life, there are times I'm quite the pottymouth in my
own
home, or certain other places. In public I tend to clean it up, although I
slip
sometimes.

If I was a young person, living in, say a Christian home where this kind
of
language is not tolerated, my parent could walk up on me and be horrified
and
cut me off, or the ISP or filters on the PC might block all access to SER,
or
maybe all newsgroups.

I don't think this serves any of our interests.

Am I off base here, or is it that I'm alright but the world is all wrong
(present company excluded) ?

Because of a serious health condition I daily read a medical newsgroup. Same

Usenet type. Uncensored. Can't stop anyone posting. Can't filter out posts
you don't like. Disadvantages are that you get a lot of misinformation and
garbage. Advantages are that you pick up much invaluable information. I have
picked up many useful tips here at s.e.r. The medical newsgroup I read has
prolonged my life.

You actually can filter those.

Subject: Flameproof resistors in series, is it okay to do?

I need a flameproof resistor of 1.2k ohms but I only have one of 1k
and one of 200 ohms.(both flameproof)
Now theoretically speaking, connecting them in series the total
resistance would be 1.2k ohms but would the safety factor of a
flameproof/fusable resistor still be effective?

No problem.

It can be a simple addition if resistance is converted to conductivity.
For example using a 1 volt source simply find the current in each
resistance, add up all the currents, and then find the equivalent
resistance by dividing the 1 volt by the total current. It is a cinch
if you have a calculator with a 1/x function.

One not so obvious use of this feature is to find what value resistor is
needed to put in parallel to a known resistor to achieve a given
equivalent resistance. For example if a resistor is 10 ohms but we
require 8 ohms, just take the conductivity of the required 8 ohms and
subtract the conductivity of the 10 ohm resistor to find we need to put
a 39 ohms standard resistor in parallel (closest standard value to 40).

For those interested (and I am not suggesting anyone in their right minds
should rely on the views of this complete novice) I have to thank those on
these forums for your assistance and to Chuck for this solution wihch I
suspected was causing the problem from day one. Needless to say, it was and
before I started posting I had confirmed by my Super that when this happens,
everyone calls out a plumber at huge expense and CUTS out that one way valve
and replaces it with a new one. In practice if the valve is the problem the
plumber will have solved it or if th blockage was the problem, replacing the
valve will have let water flow through the pipe while the valve was being
replaced and solved it as a by product as well.

So people MAY be interested in my experience as no one seemed to think that
anything could be done by undoing that nut on the top of the valve.

I did this and found the interior to be exactly as described on the line
drawing. The top comes off fairly easily. There is a simple flap in it.
THere is generally nothing blocking between the flap and the drain for
reasonably obvious reasons. But you can pick the flap up with a dental pick
(cost in a flea market, approx 5 cents) and push START on the dishwasher.
Followed by START on a GE unit five seconds later to stop it. This has the
effect of pushing whatever is OBVIOUSLY blocking the line to the valve and
hopefully past it. In my case an olive pip and a small piece of paper were
the cause which was stopping the dishwasher from draining properly. It had
been doing so in fact for a year or so with us wondering if the dishwasher
needed changing (as everyone I suppose does when their dishwasher stops
cleaning properly? As Chuck implies, the water isn't draining properly, the
float is stopping water in put when the water in the unit reaches the proper
level and the dishes are always being cleaned with dirty water)

It may be advisable to siphon out whatever water is lying in the bottom of
the dishwasher and you may need to repeat this process a few times but
eventually whatever is blocking the line will come through and water will
start spewing out of the top of the valve, meaning that you have unblocked
it andwater is now flowing freely. Although not too much spews out, put the
nut back on fairly quickly (while it is spewing). It doesn't SEEM to have
been secured with any of that plumber's white tape to make it waterproof (I
am not sure why) and I didn't put any back on, preferring to leave the brass
to brass tight for the moment and see what happens. I may have to revise my
opinion on that if it starts to leak?

Suddenly hey presto, the whole dishwasher starts to clean properly as if it
were new!

The obvious question arises, why does a newish GE Profile dishwasher not
have a filter in it to assure that it will keep on cleaning dishes properly?
Why does GE insist on relying on a plastic sheet with holes in it and a sort
of impeller on all their dishwashers to break up bits and try to stop this
blockage happening when OBVIOUSLY this doesnt work? Do they pull this trick
on their customers with their astronomically expensive Monogram units as
well? Do ALL European dishwashers have filters?

(The other obvious question is how quickly will I find that the constant
heating up and cooling down of the metal parts in the valve every time very
hot water goes through it will cause the nut to expand, contract and
eventually loosen? Or will the water which is always in the valve actually
prevent this happening?)

Check the drain hose, and the vacuum breaker for partial blockage. This
can put enough back pressure on the pump that it is unable to fully drain
the dishwasher during the cycle time.

if you see the solenoid at the bottom of the motor/pump assembly spring open
and hear it click open then it's a good possibility your drian hose may be
kinked or clogged...check it....

if you do not hear the solenoid getting energized check it to see if it is
geting energized for the drain position of the pump instead of just the
re-cycle mode for cleaning in the tub...if you ruled out voltage, clog, and the
solenoid you have a bad timer.....

hope this helps you

Hello Ali,

1. How can a posistor be connected "the wrong way around"? It is only a
passive resistive component, though slightly "smarter" than a conventional
resistor, so the two terminals should be identical.
2. The fact that the TV does not turn most likely has nothing to do with the
degauss. The degauss circuit is in parallel to the power supply and does not
affect the main functionality of the TV.

Regards,
Boris
