Swimming pool: Repairing electric pump motor

Thu, 19 Mar 2026 11:19:41 -0700

I have an aquabot pool cleaner and pump motor stopped working. If you disassemble it the oil inside runs out. I really only need to know what type of oil to use to replace it. The 35V motor has 4 capacitors to jump start it. I have replaced the capacitors once before in my own machine without loosing the oil and reusing it. Successful long term repair accomplished. This one is a relatives of mine who lost the oil and I don't want to replace capacitors, only to ruin successful job by putting the wrong oil in it. Does anyone know what type of can be used in this motor?

Toilet: Why is it leaking

Tue, 25 Jun 2019 21:03:09 -0700

My toilet seems to be leaking leaking and is soaking the carpet in my apartments bathroom (carpet in the bathroom is foolish but so is my land lord) It is not overflowing and I dont see any leakage at all. It seems that the water is flowing from under the toilet what could possibly be a good fix for my lovely throne.

Sears Garage Door Opener: Garage door closes after opening

Thu, 16 Feb 2023 03:04:30 -0700

Hello!

Recently my garage door started closing immediately after being opened via the remote or the button inside the garage. After several attempts to open it, it finally stops going down again, or if you push it upward when it's near the top, it seems to stop it.

Anyone know what would cause this, and if there's a simple fix, or do I need a new garage door opener? Getting my car in the garage is like playing a strange video game, and one of these days it's going to scrape my car! :-(

My garage door opener is a Sears 139 65 3000.

Thanks!

John
