Those gan jiong spiders can forget abt it... especially those without âHand Roadâ situation....ðð»ð° actually plumbing like tap and flushing bowl pump should not be too difficult if with the correct tools. most of the times ended in disaster were due to lack of tools. another incident is our washing machine. if you noticed inlet no water flowing into the washer do not be despair. off the tap plug out the rubber hose. there you will see a small plastic filter (either round or square. size like 10 cent coin). plug it out rinse and wash those yellow stuff away. reconnect back...hurray water flowing again.

Kb27 Supersonic May 16, 2019 Share May 16, 2019 Having a license electrician as your neighbor is rare. What is more common is having neighbor with some electric background who is ke Kiang to help you save money. Saw at edwm thread quite a few knowledgeable member advocating saving money to change the mcb ownself. Seriously I will not try what they are teaching. It's not like you have to fix your mcb at regular interval. I actually changed my ELCB to RCCB, yeap DIY. Yeap, it's dangerous, I'll probably not do it again. But I was tired of my old ELCB constantly tripping when there's lightning. I did some research on the type, the current, sensitivity, compared notes with HDB website, etc. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freeder Hypersonic May 17, 2019 Share May 17, 2019 Using the tape, must take note of the screw thread direction. So that when you screw back, the tape is not pushed to one end or comes loose. Clockwise and anti clockwise theory 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time heavy thunderstorm I have to reset the elcb one or 2 times. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
