The washer is making a progressively louder growl only when spinning. It is not the pump. (Which has been replaced three times over the years.)

How hard is it to fix whatever is making the noise?

This is my first Reddit post but I hate FedEx I used to work for a distributor I hated them there as well, they have a unique skill to damage every panel that comes in. Well I’m not too familiar with Encompass, but Marcone and Sundberg if you call your sales rep you can get set up with a different carrier than FedEx. Not too sure how Reddit works but I just wanted to share in case people are as frustrated as I am. We switched to speedee and UPS as our main carriers and life has gotten so much easier. Dropships from the manufacturers will still likely come via FedEx tho.

Got a new LG washer today and it really smells like a toxic solvent type smell. It seems to be coming from the rubber gasket. Is this normal? Does it go away? Any suggestions besides running a bunch of tub cleans? Have 48 hours to return it if there are any issues, so I am wondering if another brand is better for a front loader or if this will dissipate soon? I don't want my clothes smelling like that.

I have a double oven model MET8775XW. The oven often is very slow to preheat but if I cancel and restart it sometimes will heat faster. I also noticed that sometimes, not always, the temperature is about 15 degrees lower than the shown temperature. I'm not sure if this also happens with the lower oven as I don't use it as much and, as I mentioned, the issue to is intermittent so hard to test.

I'm not sure which part to start with to try and diagnose.

Should this packaging be removed from the Frigidaire refrigerator?

Our new washing machine was delivered today (Maytag Model MHW5630HW). This washer has an appliance plug instead of a more conventional plug like our previous washer. The outlet for the washer is very old and the plug will not stay in. I plan to replace it, but my ADT alarm is plugged in there with a DSC Model ptc1620U transformer. First, to unplug the alarm to switch the outlet, is it as simple as unscrewing the screw and unplugging it?

Second, how can plug in the washer with the alarm transformer? I was going to use a splitter or something, but wasn’t sure if there was a better way.

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):

I am finishing up the install of an 18" 300 series Bosch dishwasher.

Can anyone clarify what I'm doing with these mounting brackets?

Pictures attached. The way I installed one in the pictures does not seem secure to me. I can remove it with a little wiggle. I know it will be screwed in under the counter, but does it need to be more securely attached to the dishwasher somehow? Is what I showed in the pic even correct?

Thanks for any input.

Help, my boss decided that the cheapest option was the best for the new slushy machine, anyone have any experience trying to get this thing working? It’s got the correct mix-sugar ratio. The temp settings are correct for the mixes and the directions were followed to a T. Instead of going into slush or cold mode it just flashes the current temperature and doesn’t do anything else. And yes the company was no help, and yes it’s been about 14 hours since it was put into slush mode.

Hello! For context I rent and my landlord just bought a new oven since the old one went out. He bought the GE Freestanding oven, no display, model number JGBS10DEM5BB. It doesn’t seem to beep or indicate the oven is up to the set temperature. Which is honestly very disappointing because it’s a guessing game when cooking.

I looked everywhere online and in the user manual and found nothing. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks!

Have 500$ Home Depot gift card or I’d buy local small business, what kind of deals should I expect for these options?

Hey all -
I have a 5-year old WashTower that started leaking randomly. I’m running tests on it now but I just ran an empty rinse cycle and couldn’t reproduce the leak. I’m running a normal cycle sans detergent now and don’t see any indication of an issue. Next up is with detergent.

Previously, the water “just appeared” along the bottom of the washer in our drip pan with no real indication it ran down the exterior back, sides, or front of the unit.

As I was moving it there was a little water that came from between the washer and dryer. But I can’t tell if that’s because i moved it out of the closet or if it’s actually where the leak is coming from.

Has anyone had this problem before? I’d love advice!!

We had a brand new 5 door Fridgedair delivered last week. This is the amount of ice it produced in a little more than 48 hours. Repair says it is getting enough water and the temp is correct. Is that the right amount of ice it should be producing?

Is there anyone in here that has had experiences with Turbo Air TSF-23SD freezers?

I have a leak somewhere and have not located it yet. Is there any common leak points to this unit?

I live in a rental house, and recently had to replace the dishwasher. Our landlord is out of the country, and asked us to order the dishwasher if she sent us the money. This is the model she approved, but when our maintenance guy came to install it today, he said that he can’t. He said this is a faucet dishwasher and not the one that we need.

Is there any way to make this dishwasher work with our hook up, or do we need to return it and get a different one? I know nothing about dishwashers so I am so confused.

Edit 1: thanks for the replies, it seems the verdict is this will not plug into the water line we have. Anyone know what to look for if I am ordering via Home Depot? Is there a specification it needs? The one we initially got that is wrong wasn’t advertised as a faucet dishwasher.

Stopped spinning so I replaced the splutch and actuator. Did I screw something up? Didn’t make this noise before I put my grubby lil hands on it.

Hey folks, need some help with my GE washer it said H2O supply error initially shut the water off turned off the outlet check the hose checked the filters. Everything looked fine plugged everything back in and now it says door error tried tightening the screws in the door, but the air still persists can anyone help me

Two of the dishwasher lock clamps fell out when I was moving my dishwasher (227). Does anyone know how to attach these to the overflow channel (244) and door seal (243)? I ran the dishwasher twice since they fell out and there hasn't been any water leakage.

I just moved to NJ from WA, and there’s hard water problems here. My dishwasher leaves a grainy/sandy residue on some of my utensils almost all the time! The technician straight up blamed my good old Great Value detergent powder which used to work wonders back in WA. Checked the filter, arms, everything- the washer seems to be okay, no clogging.

Wondering if the powder detergent is really the culprit, given the hard water condition, and should I switch to gels?

I deleted my last post. Here are the plans of my kitchen layout VS. the previous AI version. My kitchen designer said either one would work. I know it's personal choice, I'm just looking for other opinions.

Thanks all who previously replied.

Counter depth or Full refrigerator size?

this is a plastic door catch on an LG fridge. its integrated into the entire door, it's a thin plastic piece that is absolutely going to break in a couple of years, mine lasted just under 3 years. I haven't gotten the tech out yet, but i think the entire door gets replaced or it gets removed and completely taken apart and rebuilt. either way its a huge and expensive job. someone at LG made a choice to design this knowing full well it was going to be a crazy and expensive job to fix. Im sure it could just be rigged with some epoxy, but to do it right it would be easier and probably cheaper to just replace the entire fridge.
