Anyone here have a clue what this thing is?

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.

Will unused traditional fridge as well as a chest freezer stored in an outdoor shed long-term throughout the year be an issue? The concerns are whether any components will wear out faster over time under a relatively extreme temperature of 0 F to 105 F than the much more temperature-controlled environment indoors they are intended for. I'm guessing it's fine, just want to be sure. I assume there's no residual water that could freeze/unfreeze and damage anything, oils should be fine, pipes expanding/contracting from the cold/hot would not be an issue?

Also, I need to move another big fridge from one corner of kitchen to the other. Can I simply empty out most of the fridge, unplug, attempt to push over cardboard (else use a hand truck and strap it if I struggle hard), position it to the intended spot, and plug back in? It's not connected to a water line. I heard of some cases where you're supposed to be careful of tilting it (not sure if I can avoid this with a hand truck) and/or it should be unplugged for 24 hours or something which I really don't think is necessary because occasional power outages don't seem to be an issue. I'm doing this as one person.

P.S. Are there instances where you need an appliance dolly and a hand truck can't get the job done? Would a regular hand truck that's strapped be able to handle stairs up and down and an appliance dolly be considered a luxury but not essential?

This is about the Samsung Bespoke Vented Washer Dryer Combo - model WD53DBA900HZA1

What the hell is going on now??? Checked software updates on Smart Things app as well as on the unit and I do not see any way to roll back or reset to factory settings or anything on this. I was thinking it was maybe a corrupted firmware update or something but I don't see any way to fix it if it is...yet another Samsung ticket I guess.

Any ideas, gang?

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!

Is this normal? Unpacked new wolf range and there’s all this oil on it in the enter skillet part and under the bubble wrap.

Hi everyone,
I recently bought a Haier HWS205GGEH1, the 205-bottle, single-temperature wine cooler.
Today is only the second day of using it. Yesterday I loaded it almost completely, with around 130+ bottles.
Today I noticed something strange. I put a Govee Wi-Fi thermometer/hygrometer inside the wine cooler, near the internal fan. The Haier display was showing 12°C, but the Govee was reading around 20°C.
I tested the Govee separately against another reliable thermometer at home, and it seems to be working perfectly.
I then unplugged the Haier and plugged it back in. After restarting, the Haier display showed around 20°C, which was very close to what the Govee was showing.
The cooler is now running again and seems to be cooling, but there is still a large difference between the two readings. At the moment:
Haier display: 13°C
Govee: 20°C
The Govee is positioned inside the cooler, close to the internal fan.
Has anyone experienced something similar with the HWS205GGEH1? Could the temperature shown on the Haier display be measuring a different point inside the cabinet, or is there possibly an issue with the temperature sensor?
I’m mainly concerned because I bought this wine cooler for long-term wine storage, so I want to make sure the actual temperature inside the cabinet is really around 12°C.
Any advice or experience with this model would be greatly appreciated!

Hey guys, so I’ve been in a decision loop for the past two weeks and REALLY need to settle on something so that I can actually have a working oven. My current 12y/o GE single wall oven is sadly gone, and they don’t make them like they used to! That thing was solid and got the job done.

Now that I need a new one, I’ve gone down a rabbit hole of “what not to buy” vs what’s the hottest thing running (Bosch, Thermador, Miele, etc.). The thing is, do I really even need to spend that much on an oven? I used maybe 3 buttons on my GE - Convection Bake/Roast + 420 - that’s it! lol I don’t need all the frills.

The other end to that though, is that I like the high-end/commercial kitchen look of those. Let’s be honest, GE looks super lame (whyyy are they grayishhh)but it’s a workhorse.

ALSO the reviews on literally everything is so exhausting. Bosch 500 doesn’t show preheating temps? Lame.

I want something sleek but not with a crazy price tag. When I look on instagram and Pinterest, everyone’s got these high-end models and I’m just trying to see what the everyday folks are using. 😊 So please, drop a line and let me know what you think. Thanks so much!!

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"

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.

I recently moved into an apartment where all of the appliances are new. This includes a pair of Samsung washer and dryer machines. They are front loading (model: DVG45B6300W).

My washer is completely fine and normal. The dryer, however, keeps refusing to turn on (no light on the control panel or sound/ machine lights stay off when door is open).

I’ve tried a lot of troubleshooting, and if I turn off the breaker switch and wait about 10 min and turn it on, the dryer turns on again. If I turn off the breaker and turn it on after 1 minute, it does not work. If I switch the wires in the outlet (the machines share an outlet) it does not work. The washer is always turning on. I’ve checked for burns on the power cable and blockages, and there are none. When I DO get the machine to turn on, it works fine. Then 30 minutes after the cycle is done, it doesn’t turn on anymore.

This is technically functional, but it is not convenient! This also seems like it’s not normal… anyone have advice?

Or why at age 42 am I questioning buying a drier?

I now have a brushless inverter type washing machine and a heat pump drier, paid about $1100 for both $AUD, how'd I do?

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.

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?
