My Gienie garage door stopped working while it made humming sounds when buttons are pressed π
After some research everyone was pointing to replace the Capacitor (What in the world the Capacitor is…haha so had to dig the way and how garage door works π and leatned somethings I might have leatned in some random physics class..)
So had to dismantle the ceiling hanging (and truly black box :)) device one by one and fought offline and online for right part π
Plus, this was hard as everything installed in this house is not the standard or most widely used versions…:)
Plus, this was even hard because any devices built in US long time ago usually dont have the exact OEM parts available…those companies are all gone π so have to dig up the compatibles
After blowing out two new capacitors (which claimed they are compatible :)) finally found the right one and repaired successfully with 3rd try :)…
Although it doesn’t look much different on pictures, I tried to give a renewed life on worn out (smelly and turning yellowish) shower booth.
Few lessons learned-
This will never work with one set of can (2 coats) for normal Joe π Anyone planning this fun activity, please be ready to buy 2 sets to be safe. (I bought an air spray and will add on top of this…)
Old wonky smell from shower booth is also generated by shower frame/door and other metal covers- replaced some old coverings but the next project for this shower booth is painting on shower booth’s frame/door
Finally repainted last piece of original paint left since I bought this house like 12 years ago..:) This required overcoming height phobia with ladder due to open space from the stairs.
Now finally reduced the colors of the interior walls in this house from originally 6 to 2…yes this was a house with daughters only π
After noticing very tiny ants around TV at every night, decided to test out the baits and saw shocking results…all gone in 2 days with maybe 50x or more captured vs seen per day…
