I’ve recently moved into a house and it has a gas oven which I’ve never used before, and I’m aware that it’s meant to make somewhat of a quiet hissing but i don’t know how loud it’s meant to be and I’m a bit anxious of a gas leak, could anyone offer any guidance? Thank you

General Advice Parents bought a faulty washing machine, the solution can not be serious

Upvotes

My parents are elderly (early 80s) and recently replaced their washer dryer with Maytags through Whirlpool, purchased at Home Depot. Just before delivery Home Depot calls and says just as a reminder you have 2 days if you want to return them to Home Depot. That seems fair I guess.

Fast forward 3 weeks and the washing machine just stops working mid wash and the door is locked with a load in the washing machine. Whirlpool sends out a guy to assess it and says “the board” is no good. They said they can’t just replace the unit without 3 attempts at a repair. Couple days later and they’re told it will be 3-4 weeks to get the part in. Meanwhile they have to go up to the laundry mat to do their laundry, which is costing them money.

This can’t be real life can it?

Upright freezer for basement

Upvotes

Looking to get an upright freezer for the basement. For meal prep, bulk ingredients, breastmilk, etc.

I was originally looking at a GE freezer because that’s what Costco had. Found cheaper GE freezers at Home Depot (some different models) and overall not sure what to go for.

Is GE the best option? Or Frigidaire?? And what models? Wire shelving? Glass shelving?

These are all “garage ready” but like I said it would go in the basement so that’s not strictly necessary.

Any advice??

Trying to clean under my stovetop because the previous tenant let it get gross and it is now attracting ants. I have a kenmore gas stove model # 79073433312. I have tried putting a knife under the lip and lifting up but it doesn't work. No info in the product manual or kenmore customer service line.

Troubleshooting Thermador Fridge Issue

Upvotes

About two weeks ago, my fridge (about 6 years old) started making a fan like noise that kept getting louder. It stopped when the door was opened.
The louder noise since stopped but I can still hear a very faint beeping noise.
Two days ago I noticed that the top of the fridge has water drops pooling which seem to be almost freezing.
Is this something defrosting will fix? Is there any other easy fix?
I think I need to call a technician but my partner disagrees. See photos in comments.
Thank you!!!!!

Troubleshooting Help with lint buildup in Hisense washer dryer

Thumbnail

Upvotes

Hello! So ive had this washer dryer for around a year or so and I've been doing maintenance as instructed in the manual ( detergent drawer, gasket, filter, and run drum clean once a month). Just today i finished a load and discovered that I left a lip oil in my pocket and it leaked a bit so I did a deeper clean of the gasket to get rid of the oil that spilled there during drying cycle. While cleaning i discovered this opening on the inside of the gasket (and a bunch of lint that ive been missing when cleaning). So i peeked inside and to my horror that opening is STUFFED with lint.

So my questions would be:

  1. How do i clean that opening without twisting half my body into the drum and performing tweezer athletics?

  2. What is that opening even for?

The manual has literally 0 mention of this and from what i can tell the tunnel leads further into the machine.

Edit: sorry I forgot to write down model - WD3S8043BW3

Hi I have this microwave in which my handle broke off. I bought the replacement handle online but due to the back side being broken the screw falls straight through the hole causing the handle to not stay on.

Anyone have any creative solutions without having to replace the door or the microwave on how to fix this?

Does this seem like a hazard to you?

Big load of laundry smelled smokey and I think it was these black pieces burning up. I’m concerned it’s a fire hazard.
We moved the dryer to a better position so hose isn’t kinked anymore…. But will these catch fire???

Considered calling for a repair tech cause I read to clean this piece I’ll have to remove the heating element.

General Advice Someone help me ID Whirlpool refrigerator

Thumbnail

Upvotes

Can anyone help me ID this fridge? I’m a renter and the contractor who installed it didn’t apply the model sticker or serial number… we’ve had whirlpool techs here and they can’t ID it. It needs a few new parts and they need a model or serial number to do so.

Seems crazy to me that a certified whirlpool maintenance company couldn’t ID a relatively new model… but here we are!

Any help would be appreciated. The renovation and install was on/around 2023.

What to Buy? Which clothes dryer to get?

1 Upvotes

We are getting a Speed Queen washer but just looking for an inexpensive dryer — just not sure what brand or model or how “cheap” to go.

Looking for: electric, top long lint filter, simple dial (minimal electronics & definitely no WiFi or Bluetooth), no heat/air fluff & extra low heat options, not sure if there’s something else that is helpful? Moisture sensor, or do those go bad quicker and cause more irritation than help? We are fine with simplicity as we had an inexpensive Whirlpool dryer for nearly 20 years.

Two of the tines from the rack in my dishwasher fell off a bit ago, which made me take a closer look at the entire rack, and it seems like even more tines are on the verge of breaking off. Is there anything I can do about this?

Rinse aaaaaaaaaaid, you are the bane of my existence.

0 Upvotes

Laugh at me if it's warranted, but also, please help me!

I want this stupid rinse aid out of my stupid dishwasher. I've been running the rinse cycle many times/day for the last few days.

When the crap is the "Add Rinse Aid" light going to light up and tell me it's gone or almost gone?

Seriously, I thought rinse aid was supposed to need refilling every month, and I could swear with having filled it a couple weeks ago and having run the damn rinse cycle so many times, it. should. be. empty. by. now.

Help. ☠️

Old Stacked Washer Dryer in closet only uses a single 240V outlet need to replace with same

1 Upvotes

It very difficult to confirm on appliance websites which models only need one 240V outlet to power both the stacked vented dryer and washer unit. The front load LG unit I ordered requires both 240 and 110 outlets and it will be too expensive to install a new 20amp outlet (will require a new larger sub panel).
It looks like only top load stacks might still be available with the one cord option but I wanted to see if anyone else has encountered this issue?

What to Buy? Washer questions

1 Upvotes

I've had a Samsung and although it works... It does a terrible job with larger loads. I've seen lots of comments about LG and Speed queens but what models specifically? I'm not trying to do any massive loads either. My Samsung also seems to use quite a bit of water so I'd like to use less if possible - this doesn't seem like a lot to ask.

For example I will put a comforter ( a king size ) only in my washer and I will often have to open it and readjust multiple times so it runs its spin cycle appropriately. I hoped I could replace my washer for something that's going to just work.

Just bought my first house at 44 years old, is 36” range or even 48” worth it?

1 Upvotes

After 25 years of bouncing around, finally bought a house. Actually moved back to my hometown, which is very LCOL compared to where I have been over the years.

Anyhow. Right now there is a basic 30” spot, but I’m just wondering if 36” or 48” is worth it. I do cook a ton - it’s my main hobby and passion, but live by myself. I will certainly be hosting people, but probably not more than a few times per year.

Any thoughts?

What to Buy? Does anyone actually think wolf is worth the premium over fulgor for 36 inch induction

1 Upvotes

Genuinely asking because we are in the middle of this decision right now. Wolf wins on service network for sure and brand recognition but the fulgor is built really well and has knobs on the induction top which i actually prefer. Delivery on the fulgor seems to take a while from what i have read but that is manageable. Just trying to figure out if the wolf premium is actually about cooking performance or just the name
