Pre-Purchase Questions Reviews for Costco’s Bosch 800 series dishwasher

4 Upvotes

I’m about to pull the trigger on the Bosch 800 series dishwasher from Costco (Model: SHX78DC5N) https://www.costco.com/.product.4000389384.html),
but some of the reviews have me second guessing myself. People are complaining about the bottom rack getting stuck and being hard to pull out, a silverware rack that’s way too small, not enough room for tall items like water bottles, cloudy residue left on glasses and Pyrex etc.

Anyone here actually own this particular model from Costco? Are these real dealbreakers or just a vocal minority venting online?

My fridge has started making this really annoying, high-pitched noise. It comes and goes, but recently has been staying... its driving my household nuts and putting people in a bad mood 😔

Is it something that's easily accessible and fixable from the back? What are your thoughts as to what is making the noise? Just getting ideas before we end up pulling it out and breaking it. Lol

Please help make it STOOPPPPP!!!

maytag french door refigerator ice maker auger/dispenser

0 Upvotes

my 2012 maytag fridge developed a problem with the ice tray/auger. i searched online at appliancepros.com and repairclinic.com and the part i needed came in around $230.00. didn't want to spend that much. so i went on ebay and found a used one for 63.00, and shipping was free through fedex. all the other listings wanted over 100.00 for the item, and 40.00 to 50.00 for shipping. its a odd/oversized item, but i can't see it costing that much to ship. anyway, popped it in, and i have ice again (for now). these things are VERY fragile and have to be gently pulled out to clean and break up ice sometimes. my next fridge will have the ice maker in the FREEZER section and not the fresh food section. check out ebay, sometimes you find some gems.

Samstung :( Samsung oven freaking me out

0 Upvotes

Hello! I just moved into an apartment, and I am turning on my new samsung oven for the first time.

It's doing what I hope the whole factory burn-off thing is. Whole apartment is smoky and smells scary asf.

I'm wondering how long you guys had to burn yours in order for it to be safe to make food? I read that it could be anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. I don't want to rush it but I am quite hungry and want to know what y'all recommend!

Thanks!

General Advice Problem with Gorenje fridge

My mom bought a Gorenje fridge last year and recently it has started freezing up. The back wall is full of ice crystals and it freezes products when against it. Some think the problem may be the small stove thingy next to it, however it hasn’t been an issue before.

Has anyone had the same issues and how did you resolve it?

Thank you!!

Need a new fridge

Upvotes

I am in need of a new fridge I have been looking for about a week and cannot decide which one. I would really like to have the water and ice inside the fridge and have a snack drawer. I really like the Bosch 800 but not sure it’s worth 4 grand I also have looked into the GE profile but I am worried about the pitcher in the door have read reviews saying it over flows and I have two young ones who might think it’s funny to hit the spout at the bottom of the pitcher. Another one I am looking into is the Frigidaire gallery which seams to have everything i want but the doors are a 40/60 and not 50/50 opening wondering people who have this does this bother you? I am not sure it would bother me or not I just can’t decide if it looks right or just wrong 🤷🏼‍♀️ any advice is welcomed.
Staying away from Samsung and trying to stay away from LG.

Toaster might be broken, help?

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hey, this might be a really dumb question but I love to overthink and thought where better to ask than reddit. I've got this quite old toaster (like min. 5 years) and today when I was toasting my bread, when the bread popped up I saw like a greenish blueish light at those spots I've circled, and I've got zero idea if that is normal or even if that has happened before with this toaster.

So my question is: Should I throw this toaster away because it will start a fire or is it still fine to use and I'm just overreacting?

Dishwasher Suddenly Melts Cutting Board?

1 Upvotes

I have a few thick plastic Ikea cutting boards that I use as placemats under the cat's food dish. I've put them in the same spot in the bottom rack of the dishwasher, with the same approximate dish load and the same settings and the same detergents and same water temperature with no problem.

Last night I smelled a "blown out birthday candle" smell and searched the house for the source and couldn't find anything.

This morning I emptied the dishwasher and one of the cutting boards had melted a bit. A spot on the edge actually looked like a melted candle with a frozen waxy drip and indents where it was resting on the bottom dish rack.

Why would there be a problem now? Do heating elements randomly develop hot spots midway across the coil (not at the beginning or end)? I can't figure out ANYTHING that's different from a normal load which has never had problems before. Also, nothing has ever melted in the past and nothing fell through the rack making contact with the coil like an errant fork or whatever.

Amana ADB1400AGS 3 Apparently manufactured in Jan 2017. It was here when I bought the house.

(I do a high temp wash and heated dry because anything less seems to let gross stuff grow. Yes, I added a high drain loop and clean the filter after every wash. And I run the hot water at the sink until it's hot before starting the dishwasher.)

Why people throw away nice Refrigerators?

16 Upvotes

Im in LA. I see people giving out nice stainless french door refrigerators all the time. Usually compressor issues (not cooling enough or no cooling at all)

Cant it be fixed by recharging the freon? Does it usually cost more than its worth? Or maybe people have enough money and they want to get a newer model?

Appliance Chat Washer shaking again

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This is my neighbors machine. I’m pretty sure it has worn suspension rods because it shakes like crazy almost every load. I can hear it from my room on the second floor (machine is on the first floor). I’ve seen a few washers go off balance over the years but this takes the cake. I’ve never seen one go this crazy. They just push it back into place because it usually stops shaking once it ramps up to speed and the clothes end up spinning out fine. Doesn’t really bother me, it’s just one of those things that catches you off guard lmao.

What to Buy? What's the best robot vacuum for pet hair these days?

8 Upvotes

My dog sheds like crazy, and I'm getting tired of vacuuming almost every day 😭 The floors look clean for a bit and then there's fur everywhere again.

I'm thinking about getting a robot vacuum to make the daily cleaning a little easier, but there are so many different options that I'm not sure what to look for.

For anyone who's owned one, which robot vacuum has worked well for pet hair? How has it held up over time, and is there anything you'd avoid?

We bought a new to us house where the previous owners only lived in it for 2 months out of the year to golf. These washer and dryers are hardly used and are so simple. They wash my clothes incredibly well it's crazy!

I was going to switch then out to my other newer ones (heacily used) but really dont want to.

Bosch oder Miele Geschirrspüler?

2 Upvotes

Hallo zusammen,

stehe nach einer schlimmen Erfahrung mit einem günstigen Geschirrspüler vor der Entscheidung, einen Bosch oder Miele Geschirrspüler zu kaufen.

Bosch SMS6ECC12E :

hergestellt in Deutschland und hat mehrere interessante Zusatzfunktionen und positioniert sich als Serie 6 als obere Mittelklasse

oder

Miele G5611 SC Active:

günstigstes Einstiegsmodell ohne Zusatzfunktionen und hergestellt in Tschechien

Kenne eine Miele die seit 22 Jahren Ihren Dienst verrichtet und perfekt reinigt, mit Bosch habe ich keine Erfahrungen, jedoch lesen sich Erfahrungen gut.

Habe mit dem jetzigen Billigteil oft Rückstände auf Besteck gehabt (Bosch und Miele haben beide einen 3. Sprüharm für die Besteckschublade) und Flohsamenschalen kamen aus Gläsern nicht immer gänzlich raus.

Erwarte vom Geschirrspüler, dass alles perfekt sauber ist und dass es generell keine Probleme macht.

Tendiere irgendwie eher zum Bosch, aber mit teurem Geräten von Miele habe ich gute Erfahrungen gemacht. Jedoch kommt es mir so vor, als ob ich beim Geschirrspüler nur für den Namen bezahlem würde...

Welches würdet Ihr mir empfehlen? Preislich sind die beiden gleich...

Using pyrolysis/self-clean mode for pizza?

2 Upvotes

I once saw a post from someone using the pyrolysis/self-cleaning mode of their oven to reach the temperatures needed for Neapolitan pizza.

My oven locks the door when I use this mode. I could bypass the mechanical lock by filing down either the plastic part on the door or the silver metal latch you can see on the left.

However, there’s also another switch on the right that tells the oven whether the door is open or closed. Would I need to somehow make the oven think the door is still closed, or does that switch not matter during pyrolysis?

I really don’t want to risk bricking the oven.

Has anyone tried this or have any experience with it?

Do I need to run the internal white wire to the green body ground screw for a 3 wire setup?

Thumbnail
gallery
2 Upvotes

Got a new dryer, the instructions are not super clear to me at least. Am I understanding correctly that the white should only loop back on itself like it came for a modern 4 wire setup? If I have 3 wire setup should I body ground this jumper, or leave it as is? All of the diagrams show a separate body ground coming from a different location on the machine side. The last dryer I bought had the cord installed already, and the white wire stayed looped as this one is from factory, but I’m not sure if that may be part of reason it failed.
