Water drains fine the unit runs but does not get
Be aware that your selected object you have a problem with is a hot water faucet made by insinkerator, not a disposer. I'm not sure what your problem is, but let's try to address the most common problems.
The disposer must be turned on and run to get rid of food. Does the motor come on when you turn it on? If it doesn't, does the disposer make a humming sound when you turn it on like it's jammed? If it makes no humming sound when you turn it on, first press the reset button on the bottom firmly. If the disposer then makes a humming sound, it's jammed. Read below. If the disposer still doesn't act like it has power when you turn it on, check the circuit breaker or fuse and try the reset button again. If none of this so far works and you still don't even hear it making the motor-stalled-buzzing-sound (open the cabinet door) then you should still check the disposer to see if it's jammed.
First, make sure you TURN OFF THE POWER to the disposer with the circuit breaker or fuse box. Now you need to check if the shaft rotates freely. On most disposers, there's a hole in the center of the bottom of the unit. You can insert a special disposer wrench or allen wrench into this hole and turn the shaft of the motor. It should rotate freely. You'll probably find the disposer wrench taped under the sink, or you can pick one up at a hardware store. If the disposer doesn't have this hole on the bottom, you need to go from the top. Remove the splash guard (black flappy thing) if it is removable on your model. Look inside with a flashlight for anything foreign that may be causing a jam like bottle caps. Place a broom handle against one of the lugs mounted on the wheel, and see if the wheel turns freely. If it doesn't, try to work it back and forth until it does. Then use tongs to remove the foreign object. After you clear a jam, it may be necessary to push the reset button again. If the motor became overheated it may take it as much as like 20 minutes for the motor to cool enough to allow you to reset.
Be aware that food usually needs to be pushed into the disposer manually, with a full flow of cold water.
Drilled a small hole in a pipe while instilling a new basin
Depends what type pipe. If a drain or vent in pllastic, you can probably patch by gluing a patch made by cutting a piece of a coupling and using ABS glue.
If it is a pressure line, the only cure is to cut the damaged section and put in a spice. Almost any patch attempted will fail.

After the Summer Time change the clock keep running without adjusting to the real time?
Question edited for clarity.
Questioned moved from Misc to clocks.
All questions need full 'make model (what it is)' as the first three words or it is all guesswork.
My guess is that you are in the wrong time zone and it will change in 2 weeks when it changes in the UK. You are set to GMT instead of PST, CT or EST.

How do i get rid of mist in my double glazing without changing them?
You can't. What this means is that the seal between the panes has broken down, and every time the window heats up (in the sun) air is expelled, and when it cools, air is drawn in, with moisture to boot. You will always have that issue. However, you can have replacement units made up that will fit into the existing window frame. Any good glazing company will be able to get a double glazed unit made up to fit into the existing window.

MY Ecco 55 Dims the moment i turn it on.
If it dims as soon as you turn it on, then it could be a sign of a faulty power supply or a loose connection. You should check the power supply and connections to make sure everything is secure and functioning properly. If the issue persists, you may need to contact the manufacturer for further assistance.

I have a Bulova B1987 mantel clock. I bought it in December 2022. It is now March 2023 and it has stopped chiming. It keeps perfect time, just won't chime.
There are a few potential reasons why your Bulova B1987 mantel clock has stopped chiming:
- Check if the chime switch is in the "on" position. If it is not, switch it to "on".
- Make sure that the clock is wound fully. A clock that is not fully wound will not chime.
- Check if the chime melody selector is in the "off" position. If it is, move it to a melody position.
- If the clock has been moved or bumped recently, the chime hammers may have been knocked out of alignment. This can be fixed by a professional clock repair person.
- The chime rods or hammers may be damaged or worn out. This can also be fixed by a professional clock repair person.
If none of these solutions work, it may be best to contact a professional clock repair person for assistance in fixing the clock's chime.

Having problem with wireless smoke detector on my NX-8. Is deleting current program and reprogramming the way to go?
Before deleting the current program and reprogramming your NX-8 wireless smoke detector, you may want to try the following troubleshooting steps:
- Check the batteries: Ensure that the batteries in your wireless smoke detector are not dead or low. Replace the batteries if necessary.
- Check the signal strength: Make sure that the wireless smoke detector is within range of the NX-8 control panel. You can try moving the detector closer to the panel to see if it helps.
- Check for interference: Interference from other wireless devices, metal objects, or thick walls can affect the signal strength. Try removing any potential sources of interference or relocating the detector.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, then deleting the current program and reprogramming the wireless smoke detector may be the next step. Be sure to follow the instructions in the NX-8 programming guide to properly delete and reprogram the detector. If you are not comfortable with programming the system yourself, you may want to contact a professional alarm company or technician for assistance.

Plumbing - Perrin & Rowe U.5383 Shower Head Diverter - how remove spindle?
Unfortunately, without being able to see the spindle, it is difficult to provide specific instructions on how to remove it. However, in general, you should be able to remove the spindle by unscrewing it from the housing. You may need to use a pair of pliers or a wrench to get a better grip on the spindle. Once you have loosened the spindle, you should be able to pull it out of the housing.

What is a pill dispenser?
The medicines should be taken in the right amount and at the right time. Due to memory problems the seniors are not able to take in a right way, so a
medication dispenser for seniors can be a good solution for that. A pill dispenser contains all the medication details along with scheduled time details.
