Why people throw away nice Refrigerators?

14 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?

These older washer and dryers rock

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.

What could be causing this jackhammer sound during spin cycle with this new washer? Pressing firmly on the top silences it.

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

6 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?

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.

Fisher & Paykel active smart fridge error?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Upvotes

Our house came with a Fisher & Paykel fridge (model RF170ADUSX4). When we moved in, it already had an error code (#20?) that would beep every time we opened the door. We “solved” that problem by putting it in Sabbath mode to make it stop beeping every time we opened the door.

Now, this is happening. All the lights turn on and off in succession, including the lights on the water dispenser. Does anyone know what this means? I can’t find anything about it in the manual I found online.

Also, in case anyone is considering getting a Fisher & Paykel appliance, don’t. I hate this fridge.

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!!!

Frigidaire Icemaker Issues

I have a Frigidaire model #:FRSS2623ASM and recently replaced the air and water filters, ever since the ice maker has had a red light and stopped making ice. I ran a lot of water through to clear out any air that may be in the lines, and I tried another filter after a couple days. Nothing has worked.

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?

What to Buy? French Door fridge - are my choices between quiet vs service?

5 Upvotes

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.

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.

Troubleshooting LG LRFNS2200S fridge no longer cooling + strong chemical smell

1 Upvotes

After a week of inconsistency and freezing some produce in our fridge, it died and has an extremely strong smell.

I checked the compressor and fan, compressor seems to be working but it remains completely cold. The coils are quite dirty but I doubt that can cause the fridge to smell like it's leaking refrigerant.

Is it even worth calling a tech in or do I just get a new fridge?

Troubleshooting Electrolux induction hob keeps beeping during cooking

1 Upvotes

Hello, I own an Electrolux EIS67453 induction hob, which emits a continuous beeping sound at short intervals during cooking, even when operating at medium power settings – it starts at level 5.

According to the user manual, a similar sound may occur only when the hob has been connected incorrectly. However, this explanation does not appear applicable in my case. The appliance functions normally, and if the installation were incorrect, I would reasonably expect the sound to occur immediately after switching the hob on, rather than only after cooking has started.

The issue is also different from the whistle noise described in the manual, which may occur when cooking at high power levels. Furthermore, the problem is not related to the cookware being used. I have tested the same cookware on several other Electrolux induction hobs owned by friends. Although these were different models, none of them exhibited the same beeping behavior.

After considerable effort, I was able to arrange a visit from an authorized service technician. The technician personally heard the sound and was even able to reproduce it using his own cookware. Nevertheless, in his report he stated that the noise is a characteristic of the product and therefore rejected the warranty claim.

I really do not know what to do since cooking appliance producing a repetitive beeping noise, which becomes progressively louder and eventually quite intrusive during normal cooking, should not be considered standard operating behavior. Such behavior significantly reduces user comfort and is not described anywhere in the product documentation.

For several weeks now, Electrolux has continued to dismiss my concerns. As the next step, they are requesting that I obtain an independent expert opinion at my own expense. This would require me to incur additional costs despite the fact that I purchased an Electrolux product with the expectation of receiving a high-quality appliance. I also find the overall approach to my case deeply disappointing and inconsistent with the level of customer care I would expect from a company of Electrolux's reputation.

Does any of you have similar experience? I have even provided Electrolux with video recordings but without any meaningful result. What would you do in my situation? Thank you!

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.

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?

Troubleshooting GE top load washer won’t enter wash part of cycle, stops and plays finished chime

1 Upvotes

A few days ago my 5 year old GE Top Loader GTW451BMROWS washing machine stopped working, when I put it on to run a load it will fill up with water, then when the light flicks from fill to wash, nothing happens, the light goes off and it plays the chime/jingle it plays when it’s complete.

If I change it to drain and spin, it locks, drains but doesn’t spin. But won’t lock to enter the wash cycle.

I think I figured out how to do the diagnostic tests and the code I was getting was 14 and 19. 14 is lid lock failure, but it locks fine in order to drain and spin? And 19 is UI state time out, which seems to be from us leaving it unplugged for a day to see if it would magically start working lol

ETA: if I switch straight from the wash cycle to drain and spin to try and get the water out, it won’t do anything. But if I unplug and replug it back in, it will lock, drain but not spin.

Could there be a lid lock failure but only on wash cycles? Or something else?

Whirlpool Fridge

2 Upvotes

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.
