And A Seized Defrost Motor.......

Well for starters, the tub is repaired and works well. Bonus. However, and yes there is a however, upon closer inspection since the enclosure had to be removed, we have noticed that the tub has been improperly braced.

In order to support the load of the large tub full of water including a person (or two), it should sit inside a "cradle", unfortunately our tub only has supports in the front and butts against the wall. This has nothing to do with the pump failure, this just adds insult to injury and needs to be pulled out and re-done.

As for our air exchange system, it seemed to be running constantly and we noticed condensation in the basement around the units ducts and even frozen areas within them. Not good. So, a repair man came out today and it seems that the defrost motor is seized, so the part is ordered. He also noticed that the seal was improper between the two ducts and will replace that as well.

The laundry room is done now, we just need to put the light fixture back up and put the outlet covers on, otherwise it is re-drywalled, re-painted and re-ready for laundry doing.....oh wait, you would need an operational dryer for that....... that's right folks our brand new gas dryer has gone on the fritz, some error F70 code that the internet comes up with as a computer/control communication error, the repair person can not come out until Dec 30.

It could be worse, I am not complaining, just sharing. :)
