Hi Mizz Kat -- I second Lois's suggestion. I never start any repair without my copy of my good ole Reader's Digest. I am widowed and haven't an extra dime to spare for anything besides parts. First I pray, then I read the instructions, then I go buy the parts and there you have it. I also wanted to say that when you overcome all these problems, you will have a home that is strictly yours with your stamp all over it. Then if anything messes up, you will go to the manuals that came with your parts (and you saved in a folder) and be able to get things going again. You can do it!
