Was looking into what it actualy takes to get inside an DeLonghi Magnifica S Smart for a deep clean / to access the brew group. Nothing much out there on the net. The plan is to turn off the unit, remove the water and grounds tank first. Then get to the back, side and top panels to get to the...

Saw several threads about the Instant Pot that will not power on at all. From what I’ve read about these models the issues is generally one of two things.

For those who have encountered the "Add Water" message from there Ninja brewer, I did some digging to find out what causes it and how to fix it. There are four main issue that can result in the "Add Water" message and only one of them is the situation with low water in the machine. The first...

Saw a list floating around of the usual suspect in relation to an Instant Pot that wont pressurize. Most of these are the same as the complaints that I see over and over throughout the cooking subs. Though with a couple exceptions. The most common issue are usually the valve not being in the...

The incline/decline on NordicTrack treadmills is something I never realy thought about until I saw a breakdown of how the incline on these treadmills work. There’s an incline motor that allow the treadmills to raise or lower the running deck. Inside the motor is a metal screw bar that...

What do you all think of the heart rate grips on NordicTrack treadmills? Place both hands on the metal grips and the treadmill will take a reading of your heart rate from your palms. Standard feature on treadmills in this price range. According to a write up, the treadmills heart rate sensor...

Others has commented on this topic in other threads so figured it would be worth discussing here. The topic relate to the treadmill making a “ding” noise when the treadmill is rising or declining in incline. It dont seem to matter if individuals are running or if the treadmill is empty, the...

Saw something interesting about NordicTrack treadmill that I figured was worth a discussion. The speed that is displayed on the console is sometimes off from what the treadmills belt is actualy doing. For example, if you hit the Quick Speed button for 2 km/h, the treadmill may only go to 1.2...

Was reading up on treadmill motor diagnostics and thought I'd toss something out for discussion. NordicTrack make a habit of checking if the motor runs at high and low speed, which makes sense as motors that will run at a low rpm may not do as well at high rpm and vice versa. Fans is also often...

Found some informations on the repair of NordicTrack treadmills. I thought I'd start a thread to discuss what seems to be the steps require to remove the motor hood. According to the available information, to remove the motor hood, all that is required is to remove the screw that attach the hood...

Saw this in a few different threads so figured I’d ask here since people seems to know about the NordicTrack stuff. When you press the button the fan beep but does not spin. The other issue is that the fan will run for a few seconds then automatically turn its self off. This seem to be a common...

Find some informations on what each pin do on the DeWALT 20V packs. Most of the diagrams out there shows the same information which is good to start with but ultimately want to know what each contact pins does. B- and B+ are an obvious negative and positive for the cells. Then there is an ID pin...

The pinout on the Porter Cable 20V batteries doesnt get talked about much, so figured I'd toss in what I found into the thread for anyone else digging into these pack. The standard layout for these batteries are as follows: is the obvious positive terminal (for power) is an obvious negative...

Been seeing this come up a lot on the DeLonghi machines where the water comes out cold. The first thing I always check are the heater and the thermal fuses on it. Have you all ever done this repair? I'm curious to know if it's almost always the fuses that fail as opposed to the element. To check...

Been seeing the BURN error come up in the cooker groups alot lately so figured I’d start a thread to discuss the issue and what peoples thoughts is on it. The typical resolution for the error is to press Cancel, vent the steam from the pot and then open the lid to assess what the issue is in the...

Been reading up on this because others has brought it up in different forums. The answer, as with most things related to treadmills and fitness technology in general, seem to depend entirely on the model. If your treadmill have what is labeled as a "Bluetooth Smart" button on the console, it...

Been digging around to find a solid reference for the pinout of the M12 packs. From what I can find online, it's C1- to negative, C3+ as the positive, the T line go to a thermistor to monitor the temperature of the pack, and C1+ and C2+ are the balance pins for each cell group. Given the number...

Just did a descaling on my DeLonghi and had to fumble through the process the first time. Manual icons arent too obvious so hopefully this saves someone else 10 mins of staring at there machine. First you have to remove the water filters (would destroy the filter if you didnt) and add 100ml of...

Just did some digging into the dead Worx 20v pack to see what the deal is with each pin. I think I've got it all figured out but I want to make sure no one else is about to fry there charger on me when they try to use this. So the most obvious. Is negative and + is positive. Then BH is the...

Got myself a dead Craftsman 20V to peek inside of before tossing it in the bin. Used a meter to poke around and see what each pad on the BMS did, so dumping this info in case others is wondering what each labeled pads does on one of these tools. B- and B+ obviously go to the cell. ID is the line...
