Hi!! We have a new home and we are NOT DIYers lol In the main bath we have a jetted tub but it's not working ;( I checked the panel box and nothin appears tripped but I did switch the tub breaker on and off anyway to be sure but nothing. When the timer for the tub is turned on I can hear the ticking from the timer but no sound at all from the tub. So, from what I understand anything I'd need to do to fix this would I would need access to the pump and power and stuff around the tub in order to fix it but it doesn't seem that they left and access panel when they installed the tub!! I'm wondering if there is a usual place where the access panel should be so when I blindly cut a hole in my wall hopefully I'll gain access to the right place when I do!! And second what sort of things should I be checking once I get access?? Right now I'm hoping that I'll get access and find the plug is unplugged cause that's somethin I know how to fix lol The front of the tub is the tub (as in its not the type that needs to be encased) in front of the tub is the bathroom wall and behind the tub is a closet but none of these areas seem to have an access panel

My toilet fill tank's shutoff valve starts leaking slowly after I turned it off and on for a toilet repair. The leak is about one drop every few seconds. If I turn the valve off, then it leaks about one drop every hour. Is that a common problem with washer-based shufoff valve? I wrapped a toilet paper around the hose and made sure water is not trickling down the outside of the hose from the tank above, or from the threaded outlet. Some video on youtube says to tighten the nut under the valve handle, or unscrew it altogether and replace the washer assembly. Is this good idea, or should I just replace the entire valve? It has compression fitting on the inlet and threaded on the outlet and is angled. I assume the best replacement is to use another identical valve so I can reuse the compression ring and nut?
