I ordered a snorkel. It was supposed to have been left at my door. I cannot find the package.

No air line there ,that is for intake and release of air only.

You have the tracking number. Please contact the company that was supposed to deliver the package.

The IS200 is a popular car with car enthusiasts, there will be a forum for this car. The problem is most probably either a fuse or a relay of which a car has many. These simply unplug and can be replaced with a matching one. Fuses are colour coded and transparent. You can find one of the fuse boxes and pull each fuse and look at it in turn. If you find a blown one simply plug in a good one of the same colour.

Hopefully you find the fuse and replace it. However the cause of the blown fuse my still be there and the fuse will just blow again. At least if you know this much then the garage can't get the better of you.

the door was left open,if you find frozen water droplets on the food packages or ice crystals it forms from the warm air coming in,make sure all the packages are pushed in and not hitting the door and you can tilt the fridge back a little so the door will close with a slight push.also check the ice shout door and make sure no air is leaking through it,you'll know you'll see all ice around it.you can check the condenser coil and condenser fan to see if it needs to be vacuumed,the machine will run longer if the coil is clogged with dust or if the fan isn't blowing,the coil should be cleaned every 6 to 12 months.hope this helps but it sounds like the freezer door was left open.

If you still have the valve, you should be able to push it back in. If you don't, visit a scuba shop and they can order you a new valve.

From what you've described, you have a self-draining snorkel (at least it would be if working correctly). There will be a simple diaphragm valve at the lowest point of the snorkel, it's usually made of a silicone rubber disc and in use is held closed by external water pressure. It can also be held open if there is any grit or sand in it, if it is damaged or if it's simply hardened with age.

All you can do is clean it and make sure it seats correctly. If it has failed in any way or if the diaphragm is simply missing then buy a new snorkel as they don't need to be expensive.

There's a good reason that many divers still prefer a simple j-tube snorkel and it's because there is nothing to go wrong. I personally do use a self-draining snorkel but I'm careful to inspect and clean the valve before and after every use and always have a spare snorkel in my dive bag.

On an unrelated matter, if the snorkel has any kind of device on the open end to prevent water from entering then I strongly recommend that you remove it. They're restrictive to airflow and are potentially dangerous. There is no substitute for simplicity and for learning to use a snorkel correctly.

You will need your full model number from the tag on the unit.

If the mold is much you can leave the snorkel soaked in lemon juice or 50% isopropyl alcohol solution.

What's the best way to clean new snorkel

"A snorkel must fit comfortably in your mouth, allow you to purge water out of the mouthpiece and hose quickly and help you to swim efficiently. But, the most important characteristics to remember when choosing a snorkel are its length and the diameter of its barrel. Snorkels must not be too long or too short. If a snorkel is too long it will be difficult to breathe because the barrel will fill up with carbon dioxide. Every time you breathe out carbon dioxide through your snorkel your breath must travel up and out of the barrel of your snorkel to allow you to draw oxygen back down the barrel and into your lungs. If your snorkel is too long you will only push a percentage of the carbon dioxide up and out of the barrel during your exhale. You will need to inhale oxygen before all the carbon dioxide has been pushed out; leaving the percentage of carbon dioxide entering your bloodstream higher each time you take a breath. This cycle could lead to suffocation. If a snorkel is too short it will constantly fill with water, requiring you to constantly force the water out of your snorkel which can be very exhausting. The inside diameter of your snorkel must be approximately three quarters of an inch or 1.9 cm. If the snorkel is thinner than .75 inches it will be difficult to breathe because there will not be enough room in the barrel for you to draw enough air into your lungs. This will cause you to breathe harder and rapidly, which could cause hyperventilation. If the barrel is thicker than .75 inches it will be too large and will be uncomfortable to use and attach to your mask. Learning to attach your snorkel to your scuba mask to make sure it is easy to grab and use is an important part of safe scuba diving practices. Snorkels are attached to the left side of your mask with a snorkel keeper. Snorkel keepers are either plastic or rubber and most use a post-hole closure. Each snorkel keeper is different and attaching your snorkel to your mask with a snorkel keeper requires practice. If you will detach your snorkel from your mask after each dive you should practice attaching your snorkel, as it can be a little tricky. Alternately, you can leave your snorkel attached to your mask if you are diving more than once in a day. "

the damper door could be frozen in open position, supposed to open/close to regulate refig temp. if left open all food will freeze
