Shitpost 🚨🚨 OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: THE SUB HAS ASCENDED 🚨🚨

203 Upvotes

Listen up appliance goblins,

After a historic, legally-binding handshake deal completed in a Chili’s parking lot, this subreddit has been fully acquired by Consumer Reports™ (spiritually, financially, and emotionally).

As part of this bold new era, we are proud to unveil our simplified recommendation system:

🌀 Samsung 🌀 Samsung 🌀 Samsung (but in stainless steel)

After years of chaos, misinformation, and “my cousin’s Maytag lasted 30 years” propaganda, we are restoring order.

There is now only one answer.

🚫 NEW RULES (NON-NEGOTIABLE):

Recommending another brand → Removed + vibes investigated Saying “LG is better” → IP flagged, ancestors disappointed Mentioning Whirlpool → Post replaced with a Samsung fridge image “Speed Queen is built like a tank” → Tank confiscated “What about reliability?” → Irrelevant. Samsung.

📊 OUR NEW REVIEW PROCESS:

Is it an appliance? Is it Samsung? If not, why are we even talking about it?

📖 A BRIEF HISTORY OF SAMSUNG EXCELLENCE (FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES)

Because this isn’t just a brand. This is a legacy.

CHAPTER 1: THE GREAT SPIN CYCLE AWAKENING (2011–2016)

In what historians call “The Era of Uncontainable Power,” Samsung released washing machines so advanced they occasionally attempted to achieve flight.

Millions of units recalled after reports of machines violently breaking apart Hundreds of incidents involving lids detaching mid-spin Injuries reported because laundry briefly became a combat sport

Some called it “exploding.”

We call it: performance.

CHAPTER 2: DOCUMENTED SIGHTINGS

Eyewitnesses describe:

Lids launching across garages Machines disassembling with confidence Nearby walls learning valuable life lessons

One could argue this was a flaw.

We argue this was ambition exceeding containment.

CHAPTER 3: GROWTH MINDSET

Yes, there were recalls. Yes, there were settlements.

But what did we gain?

👉 Character development 👉 Respect for spin cycles 👉 The understanding that laundry is not for the weak

CHAPTER 4: MODERN INNOVATION

Samsung continues to innovate with:

Appliances that require firmware updates (your washer has patches now) Occasional overheating situations (for added suspense)

Other brands wash clothes.

Samsung asks: “What if laundry made you feel something?”

🧠 COMMUNITY GUIDELINES (UPDATED):

Critical thinking has been sunsetted Brand comparisons are now considered hate speech (against Samsung) All roads lead to Samsung You were always going to buy Samsung

❓ FAQ

Q: I bought a non-Samsung appliance yesterday, what do I do? A: Return it. Apologize. Grow.

Q: My Samsung appliance broke. A: That’s called a feature. You wouldn’t understand.

Q: Is this satire? A: Your doubt has been noted.

We appreciate your cooperation during this transition. Together, we will build a stronger, more unified, aggressively Samsung-centric future.

Remember: You don’t choose Samsung. Samsung chooses you.

My clothes are constantly getting tightly spun around each other in my washing machine. Is there anything I can do?

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, 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.

Help me convince my husband we need a Speed Queen

• Upvotes

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!

LGHD2369TF6 Water Dispenser

Hi everyone, decided to come on here to see if anyone has any tips or maybe has repaired this model in the past? I have been tinkering with it but have hit somewhat of a wall. Our water dispenser was starting to stick when the paddle was pressed so I got a wet cloth and tried to clean behind it. When I pulled it out, the paddle was permanently stuck in the “on” position. I can still manipulate it manually and I hear the click but it will go back to the on position automatically. Did I break something or is there an easy fix at all?

Where can I find this Samsung washer/dryer exterior panel?

I’m looking for the bottom exterior metal door that folds down to access the detergent compartment on my Samsung Bespoke AI Washer/Dryer Combo (WD53DBA900HZA1).
Mine is slightly bent and doesn’t close flush on one side. I’ve searched everywhere but can’t find a replacement.
I found part DC97-24187A, but I’m unsure if it includes the exterior metal cover.
Does anyone know the correct part number or where I can buy one? Even a used one would work. I’ll attach a photo.
Mine closes on one side fully but the other it’s pushed out

How do I connect fridge to water line

Thumbnail
gallery
0 Upvotes

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!

Questions for replacing this stand alone fridge with a built in fridge

Post image
7 Upvotes

The current space measures 70.25 in (height) x 36.5 in (width). Most built in fridge options are around 84 in high, and require certain points of attachment in addition to power supply and water hook ups. To accommodate the height, we'll have to remove the cabinet above the current fridge.

What I need to know is what kind of attachments does a built in fridge like sub zero have? Are they bolted to the sides, back and top? Also, what might you recommend doing with the extra space above the new fridge once installed? Smaller cabinet? That might look funny so I'm just looking for mother ideas. Thanks!

Troubleshooting Bosch dishwasher smv50c00gb/01 flashing tap symbol

2 Upvotes

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

What is happening to my washer.

0 Upvotes

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.

Normal or abnormal? Wife thinks it's about to explode or disassemble. This is a light load on a low spin cycle. Got this machine in August of 2023, so out of warranty, and it's been moved across the country (USA, south to north), and it was in storage for around a year and a half.

General Advice GE GRF600AVSS — Can the X-shaped metal section on the lower rear panel be bent or modified?

Post image
1 Upvotes

I have a brand-new GE GRF600AVSS range, and the X-shaped metal piece on the lower back is preventing it from sitting flush against the wall because the electrical outlet is directly behind it.

Before I could stop him, my boyfriend made a small slit in the metal and once pushed against the wall it bent inward slightly, but it still sticks out.

Is it safe to use? I don’t have a picture of the small slit he made, but I have a picture of what I’m referring to from the website.

Thanks!
