I had an irrigation transformer quit on me and was wondering what could have caused it.. It was supplied with a Toro Lawn Master controller and puts out 24V and .75amps, and is about 6 months old. Someone advised that maybe it was due to stuck solenoid, but each of the zones is on for an hour and a half max an none are on at the same time. Also could I use a transformer that puts out 24v .9 amps versus 24v. .75 amps ? Thanks.

So, I just installed an electric water heater and I'm getting a light hum from the water heater and the breaker panel. It's also dimming some lights.. unevenly. It seems to be more noticeable when the hot water is cracked, but it's annoying, because I've checked everything so many times now. I've contacted the power company an an electrician to come out next week, but any other ideas? 200 AMP service Murray breaker box New Murray breakers (2 x double pole 40 AMP) 8 Guage Stranded Romex (40' run) Rheem RTEX 18 All connections good and tight Small 600sqft house, 2 people, not much load otherwise Cleaned bus bars Breakers not hot, not loose Set to 110 degrees Any ideas?
