In this example, add the balances to get a total balance of $1,175,000. Divide each loan balance by the total balance to determine the weight of each loan. In this example, divide $300,000 by $1,175,000 to get a weight of 0.255 for the first loan.
Replacing a bad burner element. 1  If the problem is the plug-in element, raise it up slightly and pull it straight out. 2  Check the contacts of the element prongs for cleanliness and damage. If they are clean and undamaged, reinsert the element and turn it on to test it. 3  If the element is wired directly, you will have to raise the cooktop.
Specifically For Gas Water Heaters. 1  Check the Venting System - at least every three months, take a good look at your gas water heater's venting and air supply system. Check for obstructions and damage to the vent piping. 2  Check the Pilot Light - your pilot light acts as an ignition for the gas burner that heats your water.
