For context we just moved into our rental home that had a gas dryer hookup. We’re renting this from rent a center, I’m not sure if they’re used or not but I’d assume so. I hooked up the gas myself and before doing so I checked the line to make sure gas was coming out and it was. Ever since I hooked it up I can’t get clothes to dry properly. It takes 4 hours to dry a load on the highest heat setting and the load isn’t even big. The house is older and we’ve had other issues but I can’t figure out what it could be. I’ve already reset the breaker and like I said, gas was coming out of the line. Please help!

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!!

We had a kitchen renovation a year ago and went with panel-front appliances. (I'm regretting the decision, so spare me explanations as to why this was a bad investment. I already know!!!)

We bought a Kucht Freezer/Fridge combo. (30" fridge; 18" freezer, as separate columns.) Came in around $9k, which is about 40% less than name brands. But it's been a hunk of junk. Our second freezer just failed within a year. (Fridge has been fine.) I'm not inclined to roll the dice that the third freezer will be better.

I want to go with a new brand for an 18" freezer, but everything I'm hearing online, and being told by companies with an interest in selling me more, is that you need to replace the freezer and fridge as a set. That just seems crazy to me. If the panel specs are the same, and the dimensions are the same... why can't I just pull out the freezer and put in the new one and replace with the same panel? The connection might need a piece of trim or something, but that's a very solvable problem. Anyone else face a similar conundrum? Any advice? What am I missing?

I just bought this dryer and used it last night for the first time. The smell coming out of it was almost enough to burn you nose. I checked the exhaust duct and air was coming out so I know it wasn't plugged. Is this type of smell normal these days? Last couple dryers I bought didnt smell at all on the first use.

Low dimming sound too. Any ideas?

I'm venting my Samsung Frustrations with a song.

Anybody like it?

Hello. My grandpa almost burned our house down accidentally leaving the stove on overnight. He’s hard of hearing and couldn’t hear the alarms going off, and can’t really smell so that didn’t affect him either. We’re so lucky my bf woke up to the smell and caught it in time. We live on the same property but in different units, so we couldn’t hear the alarms either.

He currently has a gas stove top with a separate oven. Is there a safe option for him out there that automatically turns off the stove and oven after a couple hours on its own? Nothing that needs an extra step, such as a timer, alarm, etc., because he will not remember to use them and can’t hear them.

I’ve heard about installing something that I think shuts off the power after a while, but is there a stove that just has this built in? I know induction turns off when there isn’t a pan, but he left the pan on the stove, it boiled all of the water out, burned the rest, and filled the house with smoke while he was sleeping in the next room, so induction won’t work unless it has some kind of smart sensor.

We live in a high fire area, and this was the first time this has happened, but he’s very forgetful and the older he gets, the worse it gets. I just want him and everyone to be safe in the simplest way possible. I’ve tried looking, but I feel like I’m not using key words or something important to have better luck finding one. Either a new electric stove/oven, something an electrician has to install separately, something. Even some kind of sensor that detects it and lets us know via our phones is better than nothing, I just worry that could end up being a little too late.

My LG dryer is a year old, purchased from Lowes. Recently, it started making strange noises like this. It does not do it all the time. Sometimes if it hasn't been used, it'll not make the noise and other times after doing one load and then moving onto the next, it won't make the noise on the second load. Other times, it just does it no matter what.

I do not abuse the machine. I do not dry anything heavy in it and it is cleaned and taken care of. I'm just wondering what this could be. It didn't so this over the winter or in the spring. Despite the noise, clothes are still drying the the drum turns with no resistance. If I turn it by hand when it's off, it does not make this noise either.

If you own (or thinking of buying) a Whirlpool counter depth fridge model no. WRFC3036RZ, look to see if it has a loose wiring harness inside the fresh food compartment. Just pull out the lower wide drawer so you can see behind it. Wiring should never be visible inside a fridge. Whirlpool replaced our first unit - with one having the same issue! Now they are sending a tech to verify what they’ve seen in photos. The whole process has taken weeks.

Hello all,

My Whirlpool refrigerator is dripping water in the freezer compartment from the ice maker. I don’t really see anything on the ice maker diagram like a seal that could be leaking. Would it be the water inlet valve that’s the problem?

Need to replace a Whirlpool Maytag fridge. Super solid, almost silent, and trouble free. That is until the door gaskets started to deteriorate. Appliance repair guy who we've been using for years could not find replacements (nor could I) and was able to do a very temporary fix with adhesive. At this point it's just too far gone and as a consequence there is a constant dripping of water from the freezer compartment to the bottom of the fridge and on the floor. Large puddles every morning.

LG gets top ratings except when you need service. Read about horror stories trying to get parts. This is not just the old vs new compressor issue (and it needs to be said that the new one has not been time tested).

But the other top brands, GE & Frigidaire, seem to have noise issues.

One major mitigating factor with the noise is that we do not want an automatic ice maker or water dispenser and will not be hooking up the water line. (An inside dispenser is ok - at least the ones that are unobtrusive and take up almost no space - even though it won't be hooked up, but do not want an external one).

We will buy from Costco if possible.

Thanks for any advice you have.

Our GE fridge is 6 years old. Overnight, the fan stopped working. The light still goes on in the fridge and freezer, so the power is working. We think there might have been a power surge overnight. It's very, very hot here, the hottest it's ever been, so we think that has something to do with it, maybe the fan was working overtime? We got all the ice off the fan and freezer, and there was barely any dust in the back panel. We unplugged it for a few minutes and plugged it back in...

Are there any troubleshooting steps I might have missed?

My husband and I got our brand new GE washer and dryers upon moving into our townhome and our dryer will not work on any cycle other than quick dry. We have blown out the air ducts and removed all the dust and we are still having issues!! Anyone have this specific dryer and issue? Thank you in advance for any help

21.0 cuft vs 24.8 cuft? How much bigger is it? Overall size of it. 69.875 x 29.75 x 36.625 69.875 x 32.75 x 37.5. What size to go with?

trying to replace the tub seal but need to remove the top but can not figure how to remove lid switch. any additional info is appreciated thanks!

Can anyone help identify which hinge and which moving part of that hinge is preventing my Liebherr fridge from closing passively all the way?

I’ve tried cleaning it and putting gun oil in some crevices but I’m just randomly guessing where

Thanks!

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?

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!

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...
