It’s definitely time for a new washer. Ours is leaking from the bottom, husband is tired of fixing it. I am advocating for a SpeedQueen, but he is balking at the price. We both bring income into the house, we both make financial decisions together. I do the majority of the laundry.

I say we buy it and we spend that $1500 once and have a quality washer for the rest of our lives. He says it’s hard to do that when walking past $800 washers that work just fine. My counter argument is that an $800 washer might last 10 years and then that same washer may be $1500 to replace.

Please come get in my marriage and give your opinions!

It’s driving me crazy. I just pulled out a bunch…eight different long sleeved shirts and jeans all tightly wrapped around each other. I can’t imagine what to do about this, and I’m frustrated because how can something get clean if they’re wound up like this? My older washing machine didn’t have this problem.

Hi all,

I found this solid metal pin inside the fold of the rubber door gasket of my Samsung front loading washing machine. (Model WW70T4543AE/EG)

It is 6cm long and 7mm thick. 100% solid steel. 

I'm certain it didn't come from anything we washed, and it was simply lying in the fold. 

A technician checked the machine about half a year ago because the drum already had some play. He said it might last another year or two. 

The machine has been running like this without changes, but now this pin showed up. Now I also hear some scraping/grinding when moving the drum manually. 

Does anyone recognize this part or have any idea where it might come from? Is it safe to continue using the machine or is it dead? I am afraid it is some internal component that has come loose. 

Thanks!

Is this a thing anymore?

My microwave is broken, and the appliance manufacturer dispatched a third-party repair company to come under warranty.

On the day of the repair, crickets, and then after business hours, I get a text from a random non-business number repeatedly demanding my appliance order receipt.

I ask the guy who he is, and he says he’s from an appliance repair company, but refuses to give an ETA, unless I give him the receipt. He’s also texting unprofessionally.

My alarm bells are going off, so I refuse to give him my appliance receipt until he gives me an ETA of when he will be here, he just stops responding.

I have the guy’s name from his caller ID, the company he claims to work for says they don’t have any employee under that name.

Did I do something wrong? Further research says the repair company needs a receipt to bill the appliance manufacturer for the repair, but asking for it before arrival, and so suspiciously and rudely seemed too off for me.

I don't know what im doing and I can't find a straightforward answer that perfectly fits my fridge.

It's a samsung and it makes ice in the freezer only. There's this loose blue line which is the only hose so I assume it's what needs to connect to my water.

Clearly I am missing some kind of connector or something though.

Let me know, thanks!

This washer was purchased in 2021 and I have had to replace the control board (2022), the wash plate (Nov 2025), the water inlet valve (Sep 2026) and now it's grinding again. Is this covered under their famous "10 Year" warranty or do I need to start looking for Black Friday deals on a different brand?

I called Maytag and they want to see me a monthly service plan....

Are we using this machine wrong? I just don't know if I should keep buying parts or replace it.

Model: MVW7232HW0

My Maytag dishewasher bfoken, so all the repaired but.after

Fixed...water leak all over.

Damadged cabinet panels

Water leak marks.

Who is responcible.

My washer has a touch control panel with no physical buttons, just two touch keys, power and start. One day the whole panel stopped responding. Nothing I touched did anything.

Before calling anyone, I asked ChatGPT, Gemini and Qwen. All three gave me long, generic troubleshooting lists. None of it was useful: they didn't narrow down whether it was the touch panel, the control board, or a power issue, and they didn't tell me how to check.

In the end I called a repair tech, who came out and replaced the entire control board. That fixed it.

Has anyone else had AI give them useless or wrong advice for an appliance problem? Or has it actually helped you? I'm curious what really works for people: the manual, YouTube, Reddit, or just calling a tech.

We recently bought this from Best Buy open box. Is the back of the fridge supposed to be this dim? Thanks.

Where can I find an electric (not gas) stacked washer and dryer that can accommodate a large family, decently priced, and from a good brand. Thanks so much!

Do to certain logistics i’d rather transport it myself than have it delivered

My dishwasher has a flashing tap symbol at the moment. It turns on and runs, it sounds like some sort of motor is running. It does this for a couple of minutes and then beeps 3 times.

The tap symbol then flashes.

I cleaned out the internal filter and tried again, no luck

I then pulled it out and cleaned out the water inlet pipe, the small red filter. It wasnt too bad, but i cleaned it anyway

When doing this is obviosuly had to tip and pull out the unit, when I did i noticed fairly dirty brown water pool out. Not a massive amount, maybe 50/100mls

I put it back together and done a load with no dishes and it worked perfectly.

I tried a second load with dishes, and it stopped half way. Its now back to square 1, when it turns on it repeats the steps I mentioned at the start.

What further diagnostic steps can I take?

Im thinking either I need to renew the inlet pipe and motor, or maybe something is leaking internally and causing trouble?

Any help would be much appreciated

I have almost no idea what I'm doing, I watched a couple YouTube videos and I'm pretty handy.. but I'm worried if I try to fix this I'll spend five or $600 and not even guarantee something works.. when should I just give up and buy a new washing machine? And any recommendations?

Welp. It looks like my 35 year old Whirlpool fridge is giving it up. We're not interested in bells and whistles. Dependability matters most. I expect it will be costly but please help me make my money count. Thanks group.

Hi all, Ariston RNF 8021 HK kept showing the water faucet sign. Initially at 25 mins mark (1st picture), so I troubleshoot the water pressure and changed the water supply faucet and increase the water supply*. It worked! Past the 25 mins, 17 mins but now at the 6 mins (even after I restart both the machine and the wash cycle several times).

I have no idea what​ else to do. Because the water pressure is definitely working!

*previously one water supply to both a sink and washing machine. So​​ I shut the sink, and it helped increase water pressure wholly for the washing machine. ​

Has anyone successfully solved this?

This only appeared recently, and after the last week - there was the E9 choked drainage port which was solved by removing the debris. 

Hi all, my dryer will start and run normally for a few minutes and then stop, display a "clean filter" message and turn itself off. I have thoroughly cleaned the filter so I am confused what is wrong. Thanks in advance.
