What kind of oil can I use to refill my plug in oil warmers? The refills for my air freshner plug ins are expensive. I would like to find a cheaper alternative, that is still safe. ... (Asked by mrs.grayson77541)

Hmmm...personally if I were you I wouldn't try to refill them yourself. Maybe a better way to save money is to wait for the items to be on sale and buy in bulk? If you really want to try your own oil, I'm guessing your best bet might be to dilute an essential oil (or blend of oils) with a neutral carrier oil and fill it with that....(Answered by Beatrice B)

Can I reuse a electrical plug for my dryer? I recently purchased a new dryer. The electrical plug on the new dryer is a three prong dryer. The problem is that I have a four prong dryer electrical hook up. I currently have a old dryer that has the four prong electrical cord. Do you think it would be ok to replace the three prong electrical cord with the old four prong electrical cord? Thanks for your time. ... (Asked by dzovi)

Ensure the 3 terminal cord is for 240VAC. Sometimes it is meant for 120V. If this is the case you can not swap cords. I will assume both dryers operate at 240VAC. Make sure you understand the difference between the three and four wire outlets. Most likely the 3 terminal dryer uses two live lines and ground. The 4 terminal dryer also needed the neutral line. This is often for either the motor or the light bulb to operate properly at 120V. If you use the 4 terminal cord on the 3 terminal dryer you will not be ...(Answered by warren914)

Crosley Dryer model cde6000w went from 3 prong plug to 4 prong plug now it wont work. Was working with 3 prong i don't know whats wrong I checked the breakers and they are fine. When I plug it in it just wont run but it was working with the 3 prong and I know I wired it right. Red to red black to black white to white green to case and took out the bridge from ground to neutral. HELP! I already tried switching red and black around. It doesn't make a difference because it's AC current and it alternates between positive and negetave voltage. The whole purpose of going to a 4 prong I thought was to eliminate the bridge from the ... (Asked by Charles R)

You have 4 wires, 1 red, 1 black, 1 white, 1 green. Red and black wires or hot with 120 volts on each. Your dryer wont run because you have no path for the current to flow. Put the bridge back in and you should be ok. White is neutral and goes to ground anyway. In a breaker box the neutral buss bare is grounded....(Answered by renegadesail)

The Oust Fan is great for all day use it kills all the odors and the spray is great too! Also I have a Scentstories by Glade that plays the scents, they are kinda pricey but you can usually find coupons for them in the Sunday paper or online at www.glade.com for around $10 off. I use the Oust Fans 24 hours a day in my bedroom and my kids room and on my sunporch where my cat has her litterbox. I keep the Scentstories thing in the living room where I can control when I want ...(Answered by jdeamom)

Can someone give me a make and model number of a clothes iron with a three prong plug? To clarify "three prong", I mean it has a power cord with a plug at the end that has three prongs. The two normal prongs "where one prong sometimes is a little wider at the head than the other prong", and the third cylindrical prong. Oh yeah, this is for an American application. I know that other countries have their own variations but I am interested only in the American application. That third prong on wire plugs are a safety device provided to prevent users of an electric/ electronic device from receiving an electric shock, should the chassis of the ...

glade plug-ins? Can anybody still smell them after 1 day? I can't. Is there anyway to get them to last longer? ... (Asked by aatriedes)

I don't know if Glade Plug-ins actually last for sure, but I do know that usually once you become acustomed to the smell, it's harder for you to smell it. I hope that made sense, lol. Ask someone that doesn't live in your home if they smell it when they come over. If it is in fact that the Glade Plug-ins don't work well, try the Febreeze plug-ins. They cost a little more at $8 and the refills are around $4, but they work really well and last forever. Hope this helps. Good luck!...(Answered by applebottom)

Plug-in Scented oil type air freshener overflowed and damaged my hardwood floor? This was an Airwick brand distributed by Reckitt Benckiser. I am not asking for help on fixing the floor, rather trying to find out if others have had problems with their hot oil type fresheners leaking. Reckitt Benckiser has requested that I send the unit back to them for evaluation, however currently there is no damage to the wick or anywhere else on the unit, and I have no control over what happens to the unit once I send it to them. One thing for certain, I will not allow these things anywhere near my home in the future. ... (Asked by confused)

Yes - I had the same problem, also by an Airwick air freshner. I was lucky in that the unit was plugged in an outlet over my guest bathroom sink. I didn't notice it straight away, but when I saw it, I cleaned it up. The marble vanity was not stained at all, so I was really lucky. I don't use the scented oils in the outlets anymore. I use concentrated oil fragrances in potpourri. The smell isn't quite as strong as the electric units, but I read something somewhere about them ...(Answered by kerry77)
