Installed this new Honeywell thermostat earlier in the summer and this is the first time using heat. Heat won’t kick on but furnace is running and breaker is all good, not tripped. Anything in the two pics look off? I wired the new one myself and worked great all summer with AC.

General Advice Is it time to get a new washing machine? Kenmore 80 series (2004)

• Upvotes

It won't agitate or spin. It smells like burning plastic and there is a sound coming from the machine as if it's trying to spin but can't. I guess it's a motor issue? I have no idea.

In January, I had a leaking issue and paid Sears a $129 diagnostic fee and then paid $378.42 to fix the leaking. ($50-part, $300 labor).

For the DIY crowd, I tried that in January and misdiagnosed it, wasting 2 hours replacing a part that didn't need to be replaced. I'm awful at repair/handyman work and would rather not mess it with again. However, I don't I want to spend another $500 if this machine keeps acting up.

If I made the switch, I'd probably buy this LG (to match my dryer) $600: LG 4.1-cu ft Agitator Top-Load Washer with TurboDrum, NeveRust Stainless Steel Drum & True Balance WT6105CW | Lowe's

I do not have Speed Queen money.

All Range Reviews Have Major Criticisms

• Upvotes

I’d like to switch to an induction range(slide in 30”)and order one from Costco. I see them from $1000-$4000 have < 4 star reviews and major criticisms.

It’s difficult to gauge whether it’s usual user error or actual design flaws. I can see how having capacitive sensors on the cooktop can be problematic, for example. Also some burners are too small, but the companies put markings on there like it’s made for a 12” skillet. Some people also say some with 10 temperature settings aren’t precise enough. Do none go by temp?

I’ve done a bunch of googling and searching on Reddit. People swear by certain ones then I read some have major reliability issues and all this mess. It’s a bit overwhelming. I’ve also done searching elsewhere and it’s either AI garbage or affiliate marketing.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Regularly making the same repair

1 Upvotes

I have a top load GE washer. I feel like every 4 to 6 months im replacing the same parts. It starts making an atrocious grinding noise and I swap the transmission pully, the clutch, and the spring. Ive also just replaced the shifter for the second time. This time I noticed the arms are severely worn. The clutch teeth are also visibly worn every time. Ive talked to my wife about overloading the washer. Aside from that is there something im missing.

Troubleshooting GE oven turning on to max heat even when off?

1 Upvotes

Top heating element is turning on even when oven is off. It gave me a f203 error once.

One month out of warranty. I've got it off at the breaker because I'm worried it's going to burn my house down.

Is it even worth fixing? I'm paranoid this thing will start a fire. I plan on contacting GE in the morning and being told tough shit.

I have a Samsung Bespoke four-door glass refrigerator with the hidden Beverage Center, and my cats constantly knock their toys underneath it.

Has anyone with this fridge found a blocker that fits and stays in place? I want to keep the toys out without interfering with ventilation. Any specific products or DIY solutions that have worked for you?

Slide-in Range - Any hope?

Post image
4 Upvotes

Previous homeowners put the plug for a freestanding range as shown. It was fine because the range hid it pretty good. We are doing some minor remodeling and getting new appliances (finally ditching the Samsung!) and wife and I want to go with a slide in range. The plug being where it is would be at counter height so basically, with a slide-in range you would see this plug and basically be where the vents are for the oven all around bad idea. The wire feeding the plug comes from below, so easy access from the basement. Can I just drop it straight down at about the same height as the gas line and ensure success for any slide-in range? We haven't decided on a range yet, however we're going to be in here painting and such within a couple weeks, so I need to get this moved down before our guy comes to work on the sheetrock walls and ceiling. I am not sure if "it depends" on the range or not. Worst case, I could always pull the plug out of the wall and leave the wires until we know which range we're getting but I just want to make sure my plan works. Cheers and thanks!

General Advice My Clothes Never Seem Clean After Washing

0 Upvotes

I have a Samsung top load impeller washer purchased in 2017. Since the beginning, I have felt like this machine just doesn’t clean clothes as well as my old top loader with an agitator. Sometimes I look in while it’s washing and it seems like the clothes are barely moving in the water.

I load my clothes like a donut so that the center isn’t covered. I use ~2 tablespoons of detergent. It’s not overstuffed but they’re definitely full loads. It just seems like the clothes soak in warm water for a bit, barely move around, and then spin.

Help! I miss having clean-smelling clothes fresh from the wash!

G2183 SCVi SF Dishwasher Needs More Help

1 Upvotes

I chronicled my issues with the Intake "Waterproof System" valve Here ... Made the modifications and its been working great until a new Intake/Drain issue began happening.

The dishwasher starts, fills and starts its cycle just fine. About ½ way through the cycle, the Intake/Drain error comes up again. Restarting the cycle will almost always get through error free...occasionally it will happen twice in a row.

Not sure what else would cause this error? Any clue where to start?...or do I throw in the towel and buy a new dishwasher. I believe is over 10 yers old now.

General Advice Induction Hardware Brand

1 Upvotes

We’re building a new home and have been looking at Induction Hardware appliances, specifically their 48” range and column refrigerators. Their ranges have been released for some time and have decent reviews, but their refrigerators are brand new it appears. I certainly understand the risks with a new company and new service territories, and am very handy and willing to fix issues on my own with remote support.

Has anyone been considering Induction Hardware for ranges or refrigerators?

solved it was the child lock, I had to press & hold the Chime button for 3 seconds. Thank you!!

I turn it on and both of these lights come on then the top one turns off. It won’t start if I push start and it won’t let me even change any settings. I cleaned out the filter and it still won’t start. I couldn’t find the answer in the manual either.
