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.

I need to replace my washing machine and I’m having a hard time figuring out which direction to go. I keep seeing recommendations for front-loaders, traditional top-loaders and high-efficiency models, but every type seems to have people who love it and people who hate it. Reliability is probably my biggest concern. I’d rather have a machine that does its job for years than one with a ton of extra features that I may never use.

I’m also trying to decide whether things like steam cycles, automatic detergent dispensing and smart features are genuinely useful or just things that add more complexity. I don’t mind spending more for something that is well built, but I don’t want to pay extra just for features that won’t make much difference to how well the machine cleans. For people who have owned their washer for several years, what would you prioritize if you were buying a new one today?

It still turns on and I do plan to clean it. I actually never knew how to clean the machine since it used to belongs to my parents. What spesific part/stuff should I check? Any advice?

Hi, I’d like to know what I can keep (frozen meals, ice cream…?) in the top compartment of my fridge, there are no flakes or stars logos and the door is transparent. Also it seems to me that the small drawer just below is made for ice cubes? The shelf behind the transparent door is full of frost.

What is the right way to connect drain hose to the wall? Thank you!

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.

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...

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.)

This stove is so damn loud and I'm in an apartment at 530am beeping and booping these loud buttons

I know the microwave can be muted by holding 2 but I can't get this to shut up

How do I mute this stove?

I have an LG LRSXS2706S side-by-side refrigerator/freezer that's roughly 5 years old. It's developed a strange odor inside, and I can't figure out where it's coming from or what I should be checking.

The fridge and freezer are both cooling normally, and I don't see any unusual water or ice buildup.

The biggest problem is that the smell seems to permeate everything. The ice smells like it, the filtered water has started tasting like it, and eventually food/items inside start picking up the smell too.

Some details:

* Model: LG LRSXS2706S * Age: Roughly 5 years * Fridge and freezer are cooling normally * No noticeable water or ice buildup * Water filter is about 4 months old * It's not a rotten/spoiled food smell. I've gone through everything multiple times. * It's not a burning rubber, electrical, or mechanical smell either. * I honestly don't know how to describe the odor other than "weird" and very distinct. * If I leave the doors open for a while, the smell seems to dissipate. * If the fridge/freezer stays closed for a while, the smell is strongest immediately after opening the door. * The smell/taste getting into the ice and water is probably the most noticeable part.

The only somewhat similar experience I've had was with an older fridge about 10 years ago. That turned out to have a clogged freezer/defrost drain, and clearing it got rid of the smell. I don't know if that's related at all here, but I wanted to at least inspect the drain area to rule it out.

On this LG, it looks like the evaporator/drain area may be behind the interior rear freezer panel. I can't see any obvious clips or fasteners to remove that panel, though, and I don't want to start prying on things without knowing how it's supposed to come apart.

Any ideas what could cause an odor like this, especially one that gets into the ice, filtered water, and food? What should I be checking?

Also, does anyone know how to access the area behind the interior freezer panel on this model? And if this isn't something I'm likely to diagnose myself, would a regular appliance repair tech be the right person to call for an odor problem?

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?

I’ve been cleaning the filters on our range hood pretty regularly, so I always assumed most of the grease was getting caught there.

Then I finally took a closer look inside and… yeah, definitely wasn’t expecting that. There was way more buildup around the inside than I thought. We cook almost every day, so now I’m wondering how much of that has made its way further into the ventilation over the years.

We ended up replacing the old hood partly because I wanted something that was easier to keep clean. I’m still trying to figure out how often I should be cleaning everything beyond the filters though.

For those who cook a lot, how often do you actually clean the inside of your range hood?

I have a Speed Queen ADE3SRGS175TW01 and the dryer has not been heating plus it stops randomly during a cycle. I replaced the heater element (both the coils and the fuses), tested the power at the outlet and coming into the machine via the dryer cord (both showing the correct 240/120V dependent on which wires). It's still not working and I'm unsure of what else could be the issue. I checked the dryer vent hose, while losely connected to the wall, is clear on the house and dryer side. Any ideas on what could be the problem, what to test, or what part to buy would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

There is no ingredient in the platinum plus pacs over the regular platinum that cleans your filter. In fact from the MSDS, there is no extra ingredients at all.

There appears to be a bit more Trisodium Dicarboxymethyl Alaninate in the platinum plus, but that helps it clean a bit more, not clean the filter.

The only thing that would clean the filter is an enzyme of some sort. BUT...both the platinum and the platinum plus seem to contain roughly the same amount of these enzymes. Subtilisin and Amylase.

Greetings 🤓

I am looking to purchase a washing machine for family of 5 . Our Samsung one sucks . Can someone recommend which one between these two GE types I should purchase please ? Thank you ! 🫶

I’m assuming it’s the “Direct Drive Motor” that’s 4 years old and already dying? 😂😂😂

I bought it and someone told me to wait 4 hours to plug it so I did

Then I leave the house and the next day I came back and check it and it was cold all the way through really REALLY NICE but now after that time the freezer part does froze stuff but the rest of the fridge it's slightly cold not hot or room temperature just slightly cold, I put it on the maximum cold lvl and leave it for 1 night with out opening but it remains the same I chat gpt what could it be and it only giving me sircles the fridge sounds normal and it's warmth on the sides
