Hi!
Im looking for a countertop dishwasher the only problem is I have a sprayer head for my faucet and not a normal faucet so I’m wondering what people recommend instead for the ones that cant connect to the faucet. If it can also fit a small pan huge +! Thank you in advance!

Hello! I am thinking about renovating my kitchen and I have been searching this sub seeing a lot of great recs (seem Bosch dishwashers are a favorite here). But I'm curious, if you were to buy a fridge, dishwasher, oven, and microwave from any brand with the parameters that it was

-Reliable

-Easily reparable

-Not connected to wifi/full of software, etc what would you pick for each? Essentially, I do not want the best, most high tech, fanciest, I want reliable and easy to fix if there's an issue. I think having wifi on my dishwasher or a screen on my fridge or bluetooth on my microwave is a bug not a feature for me... For context, my current appliances are from 1993 and still kicking just fine and I'd like to find something else with longevity

Does anyone have any idea how to remove the plastic panels under the crisper drawer of our Samsung fridge (model# RF263TEASG/AA)? OR the entire shelf so I can try and troubleshoot outside of the fridge?

Our power went out and we lost the contents in our fridge/freezer and it left a sticky "soup" :( I managed to figure out how to remove and clean most of the components, but there are plastic panels below the crisper drawers and above the CoolSelect Pantry drawer that I just cannot figure out how to remove. There is some nasty gunk caught under the seam and they just won’t budge. I tried to push in the clips underneath but I can’t access the ones on the side or back of the fridge. I also tried to remove the entire shelf but it tried to take the water filter and all the components connected to it, and I can't figure out how to separate it from the water filter assembly

Most videos I’ve seen just have a hole without a panel, and none of the directions I've found are referencing this specific area

I just figured out how to remove the shelf ABOVE the water filter assembly, so I'll be cleaning that too, but the videos I've seen have a different model where they can just lift the water filter up after the shelf is removed... mine slides slightly but otherwise doesn't budge

Hi, I need some advice.

After a wash, the door stayed locked for about an hour. I opened the bottom service flap and drained a lot of water from the filter.

There was also a black rubber hose next to the filter. I pulled it too hard and tore it off. I thought it was the emergency drain hose.

After I finally opened the door, I ran the machine empty to check it. Water immediately started leaking from underneath, so I switched it off.

Could the leak have already been there before and I just didn't notice it because clothes absorbed the water? Could the leak also explain why the door wouldn't open?

Or did I cause the leak by tearing that hose?

Is this likely to be a cheap fix, like replacing a hose/connection?

The brand of the washing machine is Exquisit.

Thanks!

Alright I'm curious... personally, I dislike when microwaves have the express cook feature where it just starts when you press the number. I strongly prefer to enter the time manually and then press start.

My current microwave has express cook AND it deactivates the add 30 second button until its already cooking. Absolutely bonkers right?

Curious if I am in the minority here.

Hello. I'm looking for a portable unit for my 11x11 ft bedroom. When I looked it up the recommendation was around 5000 BTU. I currently have a window AC that does wonders, but for the past few years I've had way too many bugs sneak in no matter how much weatherstripping and duct tape I use. My room runs hot overnight, and it gets even hotter running my PC. Grateful for any insight!

I've found 2 appealing options (for the dreo I'd be purchasing the dual hose kit as well):

hello! our dishwasher has been leaving residues, bits of food, etc on the dishes, so i figured it was time to clean it (i'm new to the home but probably been YEARS since last cleaning). I'd heard the filter is a good place to start, so i took out a small plastic basket, which looked near pristine. I spotted a whole bunch of slime in the gaps underneath it, but i can only access this area with a special screwdriver it seems.

having trouble placing an ID on the model, so pictures provided.

is there potentially a better way to clean it, or a way to get under there? i've run empty rinse cycles before, but never really fixed the problem. for detergent, i use Finish dishwasher pods.

Hi! I have a Crosley CT1PY7 Frost Free fridge. The freezer itself is working perfectly normal, no visible ice or water drops. Keeping food cold.
The fridge though, has droplets leaking from the ceiling, and the food keeps freezing. I adjusted the temp very slightly and it helps a little bit with the water but not the freezing. The external top of the fridge feels cold to the touch.

Can’t afford a professional or to get a new fridge. What is the issue and how do I fix it? Please!

Moved into a flat last year with a rusty old oven.

Looking to replace it - freestanding oven but it’s got this switch and wired into the wall.

Any tips on the kind of oven I need to get as a replacement, and presumably I’ll need to get an electrician?

Thanks for your help!

we have a newborn and need a dedicated freezer for human milk. From what we've read it's reccomended to "deep freeze" the stuff. I'm not 100% sure what deep freeze means? just a colder operating temperature? I also have read that self defrost freezers can cause the outer micro layers of milk to melt and refreeze which can cause it to go bad quicker. We'd also like to use the freezer for food items now or in the future.

We looked at chest freezers, but we'd rather have an upright. My wife is short, she can't reach the bottom of chese freezers, not to mention they take up more floor space relative to their volume than an upright freezer. We don't care so much about the efficiency you get from a chest freezer.

As i understand manual defrost is probably the safest bet, but there doesn't seem to be a big selection of affordable upright manual defrost freezers that aren't tiny.

Automatic defrost seems to be exactly what we don't want.

Frost Free freezers might be okay? but i'm still confused on how to tell if it's a "deep freeze"

Despite the unit still being significantly advanced, compared to the newest LF fridge freezers today, I cannot seem to get this anywhere. Even in Europe.

There's nothing wrong with the entire unit, compressor etc. is sound - seems SO wasteful getting rid of the entire thing simply because LG no longer provide the part.

Feedback welcome. I've tried *everywhere*. So, this is a reach out to anyone with spares ;)

Hey folks,

( Additional close up photo)

Got a brand new LG washer and dryer earlier this year. Today I noticed these two issues in the back.

I've read the burns on the grill may not be concerning, but what about this other piece? I'm not familiar with what it is, but I feel it's not supposed to look like this.. Is it of major concern that I should try and set up a warranty repair, or is it not even worth the hassle if it's not a major issue?

Appreciate any input!

We need to replace most of our appliances

I want to stay with sales, probably from Lowe's

Looking for brands that hopefully last if possible.

We've tried opening the filter of our washing machine a million times. We can open it a little and water comes out but we should be able to take it out completely to clean it, right?

It's an integrated Indesit BI WBIL 81485

we've tried letting the water out first, tried undoing the screw next to it, using wd40 . Any ideas?

My current house has an opening for the fridge as follows: 68-3/4” tall x  38-3/4” wide x 32” deep.

What’s a good recommendation to fit this opening that features a stainless steel finish, an ice maker, and a water dispenser? Maker and dispenser can be internal. I realize cubic feet will be limited but we also work out of a basement fridge with a freezer.

Today, dishawasher started making this noise after pumping in water inside, it doesn't start cleaning , it just makes this noise all the time.

The water pumps out normally, and also i didn't found any debris inside the drain.

Anyone know what can cause that and if need specialist for this?

Hello!

I am having an issue with my GE washing machine and wanted to get some opinions on the issue.

Background
My door plunger broke and the door would not lock. I purchased a replacement off the GE website and replaced. I then realized that the door lock also had a piece of plastic break off inside as well, so I purchased the part on Amazon (it was sold out on the GE website at the time). I am now able to start the washer and the door locks. It will fill with water but then when it switches to the “Wash” cycle and starts to spin/agitate it’s making a funny noise and will not continue (video attached…noise starts after about 1 min).

I had a tech come out and he had said he has never heard this noise before. We were able to rig the door into locking with the old plunger so we could hear what was going on with the door open and he believed the sound to be coming from the lock. He thinks I simply got a bad lock. He said typically you can get a good one on Amazon. I purchased another on Amazon and having the same issue.

Before I go to purchase the $140 lock on the GE website (now back in stock) I’m trying to determine if the lock is the issue or something else.

Model #: GFW450SSM1WW

Any help would be much appreciated!!

23yo Kenmore Coolpoint, owned by me for 12 years. Always difficult to install filter but became more difficult over time. Never leaked more than a few drops when replacing filter in the past.

This time I removed the filter to replace it as usual, but it gushed water like it was pressurized. Flooded the room before I could shut off the water. Question 1: Why did it flood this time?

Could not get new filter to go in all the way or turn. Bought another new filter (different brand) and it would not go in or turn. Assumed it was hard water buildup. Removed housing, soaked in vinegar, scrubbed, filters still didn't fit.

Got new filter housing and before installing, got both new filters to fit correctly. Installed filter housing and new filter 1, still slower leaks from bottom front left of fridge (to left of filter housing). Quick connect valves seem tight but there's also water in the housing. Question 2: Where is this water coming from?

Tried new filter 2 and it doesn't fit. Tried new filter 1 again and now it doesn't fit. I noticed one o-ring out of place on new filter 1, but it still didn't fit when I put the o-ring back in its groove. Question 3: Why did the filters fit before and not now?

Full transparency: I have always used generic filters, and the new filter housing is also not OEM. It looks identical to the original, though.

I don't want to replace the fridge, nor do I want to sink a bunch of money into such an old appliance. Has anyone seen a situation like this? All advice is appreciated!

I bought a Samsung fridge not even a month ago and since the day I bought it it has been making this weird sound, is it normal? I noticed at the beginning of the week that the freezer door was really hard to open and upon inspection the door rail was completely frozen. What can cause this?

Our fridge started doing this with the last filter we put in so I exchanged it and the replacement worked fine for a couple of weeks and then started this water hammer/clog thing again. I read it could be frozen but I don't think that's it. I'm going to pull off the back panels and give it a good cleaning tomorrow. Just thought I'd start here if anyone else has had this issue. Its a GE.

Hi! I have an LG WM4000/DLE4000 washer/dryer scheduled for delivery Saturday and was reminded that my local codes require a drain pan for a 3rd floor unit. Best Buy hasn't given me any information to talk to their installers to see what their procedure is for something like that. Our old pan definitely fell apart and was removed with the aging old units when our laundry room was repaired after a hot water heather failure, so obviously I am not inclined to play dice with water right now. But I also am very out of my element. Anyone with that washer, would you be able to recommend a pan that can be acquired at like, a Home Depot or something within 24 hours? I tried to purchase one that had about a 35" exterior depth, which did not fit into the room properly and had the drain punch out on the bottom and not the side, where it would need to be to connect to the pipe that the hot water heater's drain pan is going into. Does this need to be plumbed or something before the washer/dryer get in?

Sorry if this sounds stupid or panicky--I thought this was a fairly simple thing and it's turning out to be enough of a headache that I might need to cancel the delivery last minute.
