Why does the water heater breaker keep tripping?

https://www.quora.com/Why-does-the-water-heater-breaker-keep-tripping/answer/Charlie-Gonzales

I believe that the Element is probably bad, or the wiring has come loose, or maybe even some water made it short out ( this is caused by a loose connection on the top of the Water heater, then trailing down and causing a short).

How to Know Your Garbage Disposal is Almost Dead

https://www.masterplumbing.com/garbage-disposal/how-to-know-your-garbage-disposal-is-almost-dead/

Spending time in the kitchen is something you should be able to enjoy. But as fun as cooking and baking are, cleaning up after your done be a drag. Whenever you run the garbage disposal, it could add to your feeling of “I need to get out of here!” Why is that, you wonder? It could be telling you that it has almost reached the end of the road.

It Always Restarts

Resetting the garbage disposal is a pain in the neck. It’s one of those tasks that you should only need to do every few months. If you find that you need to do it several times a week, then your garbage disposal needs to be replaced. This is one sign that it is worn out and is destined for the great sink in the sky. Everything in the kitchen should work the way you expect it to, and if it doesn’t, then that is a huge headache that is a money suck and a time suck.

It Always Leaks

A leak in your home can have terrible consequences. Whether it is water damage, the growth of mold, or insects and other pests infesting your home, you’ve got to make it all stop. If your garbage disposal leaks, then you need to do something about it. Don’t let the leaks continue, because your water bills are going up and you’re just wasting water. No homeowner wants to be accused of that. Hire an expert plumber to come over and assess what’s wrong. Fixing a leak might be enough. But if the crack is too big to patch up, then it might just be time for a new unit.

There’s No Power

The power will occasionally flicker in your home. This is a normal occurrence during the summer when high winds and strong storms and occasional flooding all threaten the electrical grid. Make sure the circuit didn’t trip and blow out for a few minutes. This can happen if multiple appliances are all running at the same time. Switch the circuit back on and see if that helps. If it doesn’t make a difference, then your garbage disposal has died.

How to Fix Your 'Garbage' Disposal

https://www.mrrooter.com/about/blog/2019/july/how-to-fix-your-garbage-disposal/

A leaking garbage disposal can turn into a stinky situation fast. Even worse, it can lead to serious water damage. By learning how to fix a leaking garbage disposal you can act quickly before the leak gets out of hand and makes a mess of your kitchen. 

SIGNS POINTING TO A GARBAGE DISPOSAL LEAK:

Damp, soggy cabinet under the sink

Flooding coming from under the sink

Dripping sound from underneath your sink when you run the disposal

Rotten or spoiled food smell coming from the cabinet under the sink

HOW TO DIAGNOSE THE LOCATION OF THE LEAK

Remove all items from the cabinet beneath the sink; place a bucket or bowl under the sink to catch any water or bits of food that may come out during the repair.

Unplug the disposal, stop-up the sink drain, and fill the sink basin with a few inches of water to determine where the leak is located.

Check underneath the sink while the sink is stopped-up. If the leak seems to have stopped, remove the stopper and check for a leak at the dishwasher hose, the drain, from the bottom of the disposal, or from the water lines coming from the wall.

HOW TO FIX THE GARBAGE DISPOSAL LEAK

If you have determined the leak is indeed coming from the garbage disposal, here are some tips to help you fix the problem, depending on what part of the disposal is leaking:

Leaking from the Top – This likely means your sink flange or putty is worn and no longer keeping the seal. In this case, you will have to detach the disposal appliance, remove the old flange or clean off the worn-out putty, and then reseal with a new flange or fresh plumber’s putty.

Leaking from the Bottom – The seal inside of the garbage disposal may be busted; these internal seals tend to wear out with time. In this case, you may need a new garbage disposal installation. Unless your disposal is still under warranty, the time, effort, and cost of fixing the internal seal is likely not worth it, and you would be better off replacing the appliance.

Leaking from the Side – This leakage often comes from the location where the drain lines are connected to the side of the garbage disposal. In this case, try using a screwdriver to tighten the metal clamp that connects the lines from the disposal to the dishwasher. You can also go to the main drain line screws to tighten them, or you may need to replace the rubber gasket.

HOW TO PREVENT GARBAGE DISPOSAL LEAKS IN THE FUTURE

Most homeowners are not excited about having to conduct any of the garbage disposal repair tasks. A better plan of action is to take the necessary steps to avoid problems in the first place. Providing regular maintenance for your disposal does not require a lot of time or effort, so take advantage of these tips to save yourself from the hassle of leaks:

Keep the cold water running when putting food down the disposal

Follow the Do’s and Don’ts list for what you should and should not put down the disposal

Stop once in a while to inspect the unit for cracks or small leaks

What's the best way to find a replacement hot water heater?

https://www.quora.com/How-do-you-replace-a-water-heater/answer/Charlie-Gonzales

I usually go to The Home Depot for several reasons. They have the No. 1 Water Heater in the U.S.A. Rheem.

There warranty is excellent. It Used To Be. When you had a problem you could just take it in and get another one. Of course nowadays they prorate the water heater from when you purchased to the day you return it that is if it’s still within the warranty time ( 6 year, 9 year, or 12 year warranty.)

But like I said I found it comforting to just walk in and to be able to get another one without having to argue about returning it. Because I still Believe There Return Policy Generally speaking Is The Best.

I have also found the Sears Brand to last awhile although they might cost a little more.

I also would like to mention something. I have found several persons purchase used water heaters. Returns, second hand, etc... Which persons have purchased apply. The old cliche you get what you pay for, Can Definitely be said. One stopped working after 2 1/2 years they called me back and they purchased a new one. At The Home Depot.

The other one that had been purchased used also worked but the Hot Water Only Lasted five minutes. Or so the tenants would tell the manager. Eventually the manger purchased a new one at the Home Depot.
