Reply to comment by ThatGuyGetsIt in Buzzing coming from panel after dimmer switch installation by Fluffy-Cress-9581
I pulled one down and only connected it up to one light and it did not make the buzzing noise. Could it be there are just too many lights for one dimmer to handle without making the buzzing sound at the panel? The reason why I am confused is I can have all the lights connected to a regular on/off switch, have them all be on at the same time with no buzzing, but when it’s on a dimmer that’s when the buzzing starts

If you don't know, hire and electrician. You are only allowed so many tandems by code. We just did a reno where they put the 60a charger circuit in the main panel, so we did not have room for the new reno circuits. My electrician pulled the car circuit out, and ran a line to a new sub panel for it. Which freed up space in the main panel. The idea being having room for any future circuits in the main panel, while feeding the car circuit and any future basement or garage circuits from the sub panel. If they get a second electric car, they are set up for an easy solution. My electrician only charged $800 for the sub panel and moving the existing care circuit.

Even with spray foam insulation under the roof deck? From everything google seems to say, you usually don't want ventilation:

However, I'm not the one who did the insulation or the venting, so I'm trying to find out if they broke the "rules" for a reason I can't think of.

Wouldn't installing a small subpanel be easier? Or at least less expensive than replacing AFCI breakers.

This! There are screens, like kitchen faucet aerators, between the hose and washing machine. I had to clean the screens in an LG washer. It’s helpful to identify if the hot fills faster than cold. (Meaning cold screen is clogged)

You generally want your attic to breath. Trapping all heat inside your attic isn't helping your house to breath. You want your living space well insulated, but do not fill your roof vents. They are there for a reason.

Does the same buzzing occur if you only have 1 of the lights connected?

Use 3M 5200. If it’s not at your hardware store, check with a Marine Supply or order off Amazon.

The first thing I would do is make sure your bulbs are compatible with the type of dimmer you used.

There are screens (or supposed to be) in the hose where it attaches to the supply lines. Sometimes they get clogged. Take the hoses off the supply and check the screens.

Only if you run it on cold or on hot as well? Somewhat unlikely that both supply lines experience issues at the same time

If you don’t want to buy another power tool and don’t mind working for it, get a decent hand saw. It will get the job done for not too much money.

Negative to the tape is the edges of your seam have a lip. It will be shallow but it IS there.

Very first thing, ensure the water supply shutoff knobs are fully open. Could be the electric valve(s) inside that are stuck mostly closed. They are not terribly complicated and a fairly easy replacement if it comes to that. When you remove the supply hoses from the washer, you will see screens on the washer side, that may be clogged with sediment or mineral buildup. You can see the screens here: https://i.imgur.com/5cGwJj6.jpg
Finally, it may just be how it is. I replaced my washer a few months ago, and the old one worked, but had always filled very slowly.

attic vents are primarily for heat to escape uninsulated attics. with spray foam at roof joists, attic is part of your whole house thermal envelope so open vents will hurt your energy performance. I wouldn't spray the vent, but putting up insulation board over the openings would help.
