There are actually a lot of benefits of top loading washers that cannot be provided by its front loading counterpart. Here are just some of them:

1. Easier to use
You don't have to be a genius to manipulate this washer. Its relatively simpler controls are easier to understand. Older people trying to wash their Clothes without a hitch will surely find this machine better and a more reliable choice.

The vertical construction of the machine also makes it more ergonomic. Old people do not have to bend down to load and unload theirgarMents. You can just throw your Clothes in the vertical drum of this machine.

2. Easier to install
This machine does not have a lot of fussy parts. You just need to hook it up to a water source, have an electrical outlet nearby and direct the drain hose to your drain pipe and you are good to go. Most top loading machines also include platforms. These platforms will elevate the machine to make it easier to load and unload garments. The platforms also help reduce washing machine noise.

3. Cheaper
If you have less than 400 hundred Dollars, you can already buy a fully functional and fully reliable top loader. Its front loading counterpart costs nearly twice as much as a regular top load.

4. More durable
The more parts and nifty featuresincorporated in a washer, the higher the chances of breakage are. If a front loading machine has sensors, those sensors might eventually give out. Replacement and maintenance cost a lot of money.

My Pilot Light Won't Stay Lit - What Now?

My Pilot Light Won't Stay Lit - What Now?


I went to a Heating and Air Conditioning customer's home the other day. They had called me to tell me that their heater was not coming on. It is December and getting colder in northern California. I am a compassionate guy so I headed over there after I finished with my regular Job.

My Pilot Light Won't Stay Lit - What Now?

I arrived at the home and went to where the heater is located in a closet in the home. (yours maybe in the attic, baseMent, or garage) I removed the door and found a 30 year old Heating unit. This unit has a standing pilot light, a flame that burns continuously, and it was not lit. After trying to light the pilot light unsuccessfully I determined that pilot light would not stay lit.

The older Heating furnaces with standing pilot lights have a thermocouple, that is designed to sense the pilot light flame. That is how the pilot stays lit when you remove your hand from the dial, while trying to relight the pilot. If the thermocouple fails the pilot will not stay lit and the burners will not light so the furnace will not heat the house. You can visually check the thermocouple as well as the pilot flame. Look at the pilot flame while holding the knob in the start position.

1. Is the pilot flame floating (if it is have a Heating serviceperson check the gas valve)

2. Is the copper lead bent or kinked

3. Is the thermocouple insulation damaged

4. Is the thermocouple tip dirty
