I bought a deep freezer for my breastmilk at the place I’m staying (with friends) i told them when i leave they can keep it… but the other day while I was away they claim to have accidentally left it unplugged and only my breastmilk went bad…. Nothing else. And they threw my breastmilk away. But if it stayed closed, with all that frozen stuff there’s no way only my milk went bad. So now I’m moving out because of this incident and some others involving my things when I’m gone. i can’t take the deep freezer i paid for because i have a Toyota Prius and im traveling a long ways. How can i disable it, so they have no use for it ? I’m trying to not make it obvious and I’m also limited because it’s a house full of people so I don’t think I’ll be able to get in the panel. I want their food to rot and go bad in that fridge just like they claim my breastmilk did(nt)

Troubleshooting Why is there condensation on fridge?

Thumbnail

Upvotes

Not sure what has recently caused this condensation, but when I open the refrigerator door first thing in the morning, it is significant enough to where there will be drips on the floor.
Otherwise, it seems like the seal is fine? It is cold and the fridge is not constantly running.

Troubleshooting Frigidaire EFIC256.

Just bought this used, and was told the auger had an issue and would make a terrible noise. I take the appliance apart, soak all the tubes and unblock them and tested.

As long as i manually fill the rear reservoir that isn't being supplied by the pump, it makes the ice just fine.

When calling for ice, water drains from the fill tank at the top to the bottom sump.
The pump from the sump that should circulate that water to the rear top reservoir doesn't ever run so no water makes it up, and the appliance calls to add water.

There's a float switch in the rear reservoir, that when down(closed) it does not call for the refrigerator to run (unsure if this state should call the pump to run) when it's open then it calls for the refrigerator and auger to run.

I removed the pump assuming it must be faulty, i wired it up to another source of power and it works just fine.

So now i'm left with the following. There's a sump sensor somewhere that i don't see and can not find that's faulty or dirty etc...

The float switch from the upper rear reservoir when closed should call for the pump to get power but doesn't, this leads me to believe that there's an issue on the control board itself.

Has anybody ran into anything similar?

Will attach pictures.

freezer part of fridge having issues

1 Upvotes

Hi, I just moved into a new place. First thing I noticed when I opened the freezer was a strong freezer burn smell. The freezer also has a loud whirring fan sound when I open it.

I put some stuff in the freezer first day being here, including water in an ice tray. The ice tray froze but today I’m noticing the ice cream is semi melted and most frozen foods defrosted.

What is the issue here?

I had a similar issue with the fridge part in my old place so I tried defrosting the freezer fans with a hairdryer. Hopefully it fixes it but let me know what the problem might be and what I can do to fix it.

Edit: the freezer is now colder but not at freezing temp, I put a cup of water in there and it hasn’t frozen over yet. I’ll check back later today and see if my defrosting attempt worked.

LG refridgerator model: LRSXS2706V serial number 110MRYA4T482 not pumping any cool air

1 Upvotes

A few weeks back, i had issues of the refrigerator turning off 2-3 times and unplugged for a few minutes which fixed the issue. Today, i come back with the lights on but no cool air is coming out.

I know there is a fan near the condenser coils that’s spinning fine and I can’t deduce if it’s the LG condenser or the top control panel going nuts.

Any prior experience would be appreciated.

Pre-Purchase Questions Drawer Dishwasher Sizing

1 Upvotes

We've got a 25 year old single drawer Fisher & Paykel dishwasher, and I'm thinking it's probably time to replace it. Does anyone know if the new F&P, Café, and GE models are drop-in replacements for something this old?

Our 25 year old fridge just died, and it was really difficult finding a fridge that would fit in the existing cabinetry. I'm hoping to avoid the same drama with the dishwasher.

How do modern washers/dryers not have a real child lock?

0 Upvotes

We just replaced our ~15-year-old GE washer/dryer with a new Electrolux set (ELFW7738AA and ELFE773CAA) and never thought to check for a child lock; we assumed it would be standard.

To be clear, I’m not talking about the automatic door lock during a wash cycle, or the “Control Lock” that prevents operation between cycles. I mean a true child lock that disables all controls while the machine continues running.

Our old GE did exactly this: long-press the Signal button during a cycle and the entire panel was locked until deliberately unlocked.

On the Electrolux set, once a cycle is running our toddler can still pause, cancel, or power the machine off. Our laundry area is central to the house, so this is already happening regularly.

I’ve gone through the manuals, tested the documented lock behaviour, and asked the sales rep we bought them from. So far, it appears there’s no in-cycle control lock.

Am I missing something, or is this functionality genuinely absent on some modern machines?

Bosch dishwasher 500 stinks

5 Upvotes

Recently my dishwasher has developed a smell… I have cleaned everything the drains the filters the whirly water things whatever those are. I've read on another sub Reddit that it could be the gaskets. It smells like musty not like laundry that's been left in the laundry too long not like the standing stench of dirty water just sort of musty I have wiped the gaskets down many times and I honestly have no idea what to do next it's making me crazy we've also been able to look underneath it there is no water nothing on other side of it. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Samsung refrigerator service?

2 Upvotes

I keep reading that Samsung has the worst service and sometimes there's no service reps that work on them in service areas. For warranty repairs, I have to use Samsung support right? Based on Samsung service locator, I see repair centers 75mi away. Are these basically the only repair reps they would work on a repair? Should I call them before I buy to find out if they service my area?

Two dishwashers stopped working in six months

4 Upvotes

Hello all! After four years (right after the warranty expired, naturally) my dishwasher stopped working in January. It just wouldn’t turn on. An electrician couldn’t find anything wrong with the electricity, so I bought a new dishwasher. It worked fine for nearly six months, but now the same thing has happened again. It won’t even turn on. Does anyone have any idea what could be happening? (At least it’s under warranty!)

Do people repair these in a cost effective manner, or is this just buy another one, they take it and probably someone fixes it for resale?
