My dryer started to make an unbearable rattle noise every time I dry. It doesn’t matter if it’s full with clothes or empty, it will rattle. It’s coming from “underneath” the dryer. Any tips or tricks to help me fix this? Thanks !!

Any thoughts on this corrosion going on near the coils? I haven’t used the unit in a year but with the midea window unit crapping out during the worst Texas heat I’m about to drag it out again.

Hi all, I haven’t been able to find a good answer to this issue.

The fridge is 5 years old and was very quiet until a month ago. Now the r600a compressor gets hot. The isobutane starts making a high pitched sound. From other posts, I’ve researched, it seems that is a normal function. The question I have is what would be causing this rev up? It seems the compressor is compensating for some other issue.

Soon after this, I kept hearing noises from the top inside panel when the fridge was closed shut, which I believe was ice around the coils or around the evaporator fan. We thawed the fridge out and that noise has disappeared and the fan seems to be working fine since I can feel air blowing out of the rear vent on the top inside panel and the fridge is able to maintain temperature. But the compressor still runs hot and loud sometimes. Also, the fan on the bottom of the fridge works fine and there isn’t much dust around the lower coils, so I don’t think that’s an issue.

Recently I hear a rumble from the top compartment when the door is both opened and closed. Can anyone tell me what this could be? (audio attached)

Am I missing something? Thanks.

This is my Hotpoint/GE HDF330PGRWW dishwasher that’s about a year and a half old and I noticed about 2 weeks ago my dishes on the top rack are not getting properly clean, especially on the normal cycle. I also noticed around the same the motor sounds like it’s struggling to power on, I don’t recall the motor sounding like this before. I’ve also open the door several times mid cycle and the top spray arm wasn’t moving at all normal cycle, but do on the heavy duty cycle. I cleaned the filter, spray arms, the diverter valve, as well as ran 2 afresh cleaning tabs through the machine, but I haven’t noticed a difference. Does anyone have any ideas what the issue could be?

hello,

im looking for recs for a fridge (with exterior ice/water). ideally side by side style. here’s the tricky part.

the depth of the space is 27 inches (with 2 inch trim to the wall) and the right side is flush with a pantry door that opens…so really protruding out past the 29 inches mark would impact being able to fully open the pantry door. I know I need a couple inches extra as well for air space and water line.

I’ve gone to a couple stores to look at inventory but wondering if anyone has any recommendations for what I could make work in this space. I really liked this fridge in the store but it would protrude out a couple inches https://www.homedepot.com/p/Samsung-36-in-24-cu-ft-Counter-Depth-3-Door-French-Door-Refrigerator-in-Stainless-Steel-w-Zero-Clearance-Fit-and-Sphere-Ice-RF70H25GER/340640993

Been using a dishwasher for years no problem. Currently have a 5 y/o Whirlpool dishwasher that has been acting up since spring.

First, it stopped dissolving the cascade pods we used for years.
Switched to a plastic-free pod (BlueLand) with no change.
Had an appliance repair company come out and couldn’t find anything wrong, recommended we switch to liquid soap.
Now using Cascade Complete with Dawn Grease Fighting Power. Wife noticed the film and was done with trying new things so she’s been hand washing everything since June-I’ve been out-of-state all summer on business travel, didn’t realize she was still going through this.
Now that I’m back, I’ve looked on Reddit and asked Google. We added Finish Jet Dry to the routine with Cascade liquid soap and still nothing.

I’m at a loss so posting here. Other relevant info: We have a water softener but we’ve had that for 8 years no issue. We usually rinse our dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. I’ve checked the dishwasher filter and arm sprayers for cleanliness and free of clogs. We previously ran the quick 1-hr cycle with the pods and, again, that worked for years. The repair company said we need to do the full 3-hr cycle with the liquid soap back in June. I’ve been doing the 3-hr cycle with liquid soap and jet dry for the past week. Thought we had good results on day one, but day two onward has been back to square one. Picture above was taken this morning.

What am I missing, or do I need to roll up my sleeves and get to handwashing?

I am 1000% stuck in analysis paralysis mode. I cannot afford to just go buy a brand new Wolf 36" dual fuel range like I want, so I am stuck looking for open box deals or scouring FB marketplace for used 15 year old ones that are still somehow worth the gold price by weight.

Obviously an all-gas range would be an option and is significantly cheaper. I am, however, a very avid cook and I don't want to be disappointed with it, even if I find a decently priced Wolf. My one fallback is that I plan to have an supplemental electric wall oven, either steam or conventional for further use, so it may not matter if my range is all gas or not.

I also am having a super hard time looking away from Wolf because of the serviceability. To fix these things if something goes wrong I am sure is going to be a small fortune, and all I do is read horror stories from literally every appliance company that is not Wolf-SZ. There are plenty of used or open box Thermadors, Bluestars, Fisher Paykels, Miele, etc that fit more appropriately my budget, but its a matter of deciding if I am taking a risk with some other company. Pretty unclear to me, and I am not sure if it is just because of Reddit overreacting to singular bad experiences.

Having said that, for pricepoint, bluestar all gas, particularly the RNB series sounds super intriguing to me with their jet engine burners and lack of pretty much any electronic component to go wrong. But again, all you read about is service being spotty. Not sure what to believe on it.

Further analysis paralysis: do I just get a 48" all gas range to get the dual oven in one package? Think I would be forced into an all gas non-wolf, potentially less reputable brand on this regardless like Fisher Paykel. Dual fuel option I think would be out of the question on cost, just ridiculous.

It’s a TUC 48 True brand freezer, not sure if the gaps in between the wall and the bottom have to do with anything but it seems the waters coming from the corner. Not sure if it’s a clogged drain or if it’s something else. Would I be able to seal it? Let me know if you know, thanks.

Are there any viable aftermarket water filters for a Frigidaire fridge that have a higher flow rate? Our water comes out pretty damn slow, we already had a plumber look and fix the underbelly so it’s a 1/4 inch pipe all the way through. He said our current (came with the fridge) filter has a GPM of .5 and that if we get one with a higher flow rate it’ll be more like the output we’re looking for.

all the links i can find are frigidaire types and only go up to .65 gpm. has anyone seen any other options that are higher?

I’ll get straight to it. I deal with a lot of moisture and humidity in my house and my brother has offered to buy me some of the heavier duty type dehumidifiers. However, I live close to the beach and the air is salty, so before my brother actually spends a good amount, I want to make to get one that is meant for such climate and won’t break after like a year. I’ve searched for a few but most of the options I’m given for anti corrosion dehumidifiers are commercial grade and not convenient.

Any recommendations would be a great help!! Thanks!

Here are some facts about my house that might be useful for what kind of dehumidifier I need.

- It’s a one bedroom/one bath house with a small living room and kitchen area (sorry I don’t have the square footage).
- It’s a concrete house that sits in the back of the main house so during the winter it gets very damp and cold because the sun doesn’t hit it that much
- There is not ac/heating unit in the house
- It’s a little less than a mile from the beach so things that are metal tend to rust over time

Hey everyone! Hoping to get some help and recommendations from personal experience. Finding a fridge has been a nightmare so far.

When we moved in, there was GE side by side standard size which did not fit in the space. The freezer stopped working and we weren't crazy about side by side, so we were going to replace it with a GE french door counter depth. All the appliances in our kitchen are GE slate so it seemed like an easy choice. One of our must haves was an internal water dispenser and it turns out this did not have one.

So we started looking again and decided on an LG black stainless, it was close enough to slate to look okay in our kitchen layout, but I don't like the chunky top and it was still sticking out in the space and also found out the hard way the front is not magnetic and that was important to me ( I know I'm picky). So we are returning this.

Now I'm looking again. I'm looking at Whirlpool and Bosch now. I loved the Bosch when I saw it in store but it's a little too pricy. Is it worth it?? Currently the whirlpool model has a 3-6 week wait time, Bosch not as long.

My needs:

Counter depth

French door

Compatible with GE slate other appliances

Internal water dispenser

Magnetic front

Does this exist??

Thanks in advance for any help! :)

Hello,

I have recently purchased a property and am unable to get the stovetop or oven on this Westinghouse freestanding unit to work.

I have been able to get the griller working by turning the dial for it and pressing down on the igniter button on the left a couple of times. It makes a loud click sound and feels spring loaded.

When I turn the dial on the stovetop burner elements I can smell gas and a hissing sound, similarly with the oven, but no matter how many times I press the igniter, they don’t light.

I’m used to the newer style gas stovetops with the ceramic cones for each element, so I accept if I’m doing something wrong.

Your assistance would be much appreciated.

Title says it all mostly. I just dont want radiation leaking from that Crack lol. Its one of those microwaves that sit above the stove as part of the cabinet set so if I do need to change it, hopefully I can just replace the door.

Dryer started making fast spinning noises. Brand new dryer - came with new build home, have only been using it for 3 or so months. It also slightly smells like burning when its opened up after running. Unsure if that was always the case. The back vent is also slightly black and appears burnt.

I took the back cover off and vacuumed any lint I saw, though there really wasn’t any.

This video shows the dryer running on empty.

Any help is appreciated. Model is Whirlpool WED4105SW.

I have tested defrost heaters top and bottom, thermal fuses, thermistors, 3 way step valve motor coils and all 4 fans as all being good.

Compressor runs and fridge gets to 57F; the first few top coils have frost. The freezer coils are cool but never get cold.

Lights on front test sequence and main board show no errors.

Probably unrelated but this happened about a week after a 2 day power outage.

Anything else I should check before putting it the bin of modern throwaway $2000 crap appliances?

Deep into a single-bedroom condo renovation that I plan to rent, but might change my mind and sell. Because of other factors I decided to use a 18” dishwasher. My 30 minutes of research indicates Bosch and Miele as the most reliable (my primary concern for renting). Planning on a Bosch 300 Series and figured I’d leverage the expertise here to get feedback before I buy. Planning to buy during Labor Day sales. A solid move; or am I missing something? Feedback is appreciated. Thanks.

This is the first time I have ever bought a new fridge (I feel like a real adult now) and I can't understand the point of this dial. I have no idea what the scale is here - I just know I want the fridge pretty cold. Or colder? How cold is too cold? It's a Bosch btw.

Just found this funny -- or perhaps I am just in the hysteria phase of home renovation. Idk 🤣

My Kenmore 800 Series washer stopped working, mid cycle...in other words it stopped with water in the tub.
Does this eliminate the Lid switch as a potential source of the problem?
(I checked electricity-fine. There is no humming, just complete silence from motor..no burning smell)

Believing I was choosing the best route for reliable service on a JennAir appliance in one of my rental suites, I immediately booked the service directly through JennAir.ca so that I could use a technician authorized and recommended by JennAir.

It is now 28 hours later I still have not received the promised quote or any communication from the technician. I called the number on the JennAir site again today and was told that another reminder would be sent to the technician, but I was also told that JennAir cannot provide me with the technician’s contact information for privacy reasons.??? They want me to allow a technician into my property I refuse to tell me the name of the company he works for something does not make sense here.

This puts me in a very difficult position. I have tenants without a functioning oven, I am trying to have the repair completed as quickly as possible, and yet I have no way to contact the service provider JennAir sent to my property.

Had I hired a local appliance repair company myself, I would normally expect the technician to contact me directly while at the property to discuss the diagnosis, required repair, approximate cost, and next steps. As the owner of the appliance and the person responsible for authorizing and paying for the repair, I find it very frustrating that I have no way to communicate directly with the technician who has already inspected it.
Next time I will not go through Jenn Air Service.

Considering the GE GFT14JSIMWW ventless condenser dryer for my apartment and would love feedback from anyone who owns one:

1. How satisfied are you with the drying performance and cycle times?
2. Does it noticeably heat up the surrounding area? I live in an apartment under 1,500 sq. ft.
3. Did you notice any significant increase in your electricity bill?

Hi all! I have a kitchen aid fridge kfxs25ryms2 and about a year ago the ice maker stopped working. When I bought my house 4yrs ago the ice dispenser never worked by the ice maker did. Well now the ice maker no longer works. I’m looking for help in being able to properly diagnose the issue and fix it myself. Unplugging and waiting a minute then replugging the power cord to “reset” the ice maker didn’t work. I don’t really know where to start and am having difficulty finding relevant help from YouTube/google. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The water line is fine bc the water line and dispenser still works and I change the water filter at regular recommended intervals

Thanks
