They do vary, but most Kenwoods are the same. There is a special thin tool, not much more than a stick of sheet metal, that pushes in on either side of the unit. They depress a spring catch, and the

I'd call that a bit more than "a smell", though. The summary I found on-line said "Two months later the car was full of condensation, 'raining' in the car, and the seats, doorpanels, and carpets wer

Interesting, yes, but perhaps still just a wee bit biased. Does that "2 psi/month" apply to car tires inflated to 3 atmospheres, or only truck tires at 7.5 atm ? And they still fail to mention that

I haven't tried it, but I don't think it would work very well. That insulation foam isn't very strong and completely inflexible, so anything that deforms the tire will also deform the foam; which I

Hmm, I see what you mean. Found one place that would do a 8.00x15 tire for _only_ $200; and another site talking about how tire dealers can make more money filling tires than selling them. I used ["

Heat is the main reason, for me. Can't count how many times I burned myself on my old incandescent bulb before switching. Second, IMO, is because a fluorescent won't break if it accidentally gets we

Only the ones with the plastic coating, which were nearly $10/bulb last time I priced them. A bare glass "rough service" bulb breaks just like a regular bulb does. Agreed. I'm guessing you also don'

Sounds to me like you have a plugged condensate drain. The coils inside the house (called the evaporator) condense water out of the air, which eventually drips off and needs to be disposed of. There

Could be. They do sometimes make strange noises when bubbles of vapor go through the expansion valve. If it's low enough to not put any liquid through the valve, then you won't get cold air. But the
