It is well below freezing. A high-efficiency furnace PVC exhaust pipe with an elbow outside the house got blocked with an ice clog. I'd like to remove the clog. How to do it? Shall I pour hot water?

can you disconnect the pipe at the furnace end easily ? if so i'd do that and then you can melt the ice and the melt will not run into furnace, don't know how to stop it happening again apart from having furnace running all the time

Hi there I ve got a Samsung fridge model RL34SCSW1 my freezer is working fine it's just the fridge bit is not cooling?

Good day, please check at the back, at the bottom where the compressor is located for the pencil dryer(as in photo). Get a nice firm grip on it just be careful and feel the temp if it's cold or one side is hot and the other side cold the dryer is block. Otherwise feel the thickest pipe running into the compressor it should be cold if the fridge has been running for a while and the thin copper pipe existing the compressor should be hot. If the thin pipe is freezing up with a thick layer of ice and the dryer as some med-temp then there's a gas leak. If the thin copper pipe is very hot and the dryer has no temp then there's a blockage but if the thin copper pipe feels med-temp and the thick copper pipe more or less the same but a bit cooler the compressor is not pumping also feel if the compressor is running. If dryer as a warmth temp and the thin copper pipe is hot and the thick one very cold(when tipping your finger on your tongue and pressing it against the pipe your finger should stick a bit) if all checks out then it's the thermostat switching the compressor off at the rong temp.

Personal opinion in this case I believe it's a blocked dryer or gas leakage.

Regards

hot moist air ( from drying clothes) will cool down and the moisture collects on the cooler surfaces the further from the dryer
the insulation used has to be thick rubber or fibre glass insulation or the moisture will still form on thin insulation talk with ac installers especially shops that install ducted ac units for some ideas

If my ice cubes are incomplete from my manitowoc ice machine and I sometimes here them falling early and hitting the bin before it dumps. Is the ice thickness set too thin or too thick? Thanks for your...

Hi,
The ice thickness is too thin...
turn the screw on the ice sensor IN or clockwise about 1/8 turn at a time till you get the right thickness...give it a couple of dumps before making another adjustment after doing the first one...be careful as the sensor is very sensitive and can be knocked out of wack very easily...
