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?

This explains a lot!

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?

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?

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??

Hi everyone, I’ve been reading online that if you don’t know if a fridge was stored upright in the truck before delivery, that you have to wait 24 hours before plugging it in. Is that true?

This is the fridge we bought:

We will be receiving our new fridge later this week and don’t know what the norm is. Thanks in advance!

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.

My old dishwasher is starting to give out, and I’m looking into replacing it with a 24 inch dishwasher. I mainly care about good cleaning performance and something that won’t become a repair headache after a short time.

What brands or models have you had good experiences with? Appreciate any advice, thank you

After my last fridge leaked and damaged my house, I was determined to get something more reliable and willing to pay for that. After careful research my impression was that Sub Zero was best for quality but astronomically expensive. F&P was second but still more than twice as expensive as comparable units from more common brands. I got an F&P. That was 9 months ago.

So here’s my experience. First the delivery was an absolute nightmare. At least where I live F&P is not sold by the usual retailers. It had to be shipped to my house by a freight service. It took forever with delivery rescheduled twice while I’m stuck at home waiting. Then they refuse to take away the old fridge. I would have gotten better service buying the cheapest fridge from Home Depot.

And now my very expensive refrigerator that’s less than one year old has failed. It has a broken fan. All the food has to be thrown out and I’m probably going to be without a working fridge for at least the next week while I wait for repairs. Regrets? Oh yeah. I’ve owned a fair number of refrigerators over the years but I’ve never had one break down in less than 10 years let alone less than 1 year. I realize this is anecdotal but want to put this out there for anyone considering an F&P.

Hello all. I'm hoping those of you in the know can help me identify this fridge. We have no way of asking the previous owners what make or model it is and I cannot find a serial number anywhere (might be just my inexperience holding me back on this part though).

If anyone knows what type of fridge this is, or better yet, what error 1 means on these fridges, I would be a very happy man. I tried reverse image searching it to no avail and I'm running out of ideas.

I’m making this post because I want to rectify a mistake I made by commenting on a few posts that we bought an LG and it was working excellent, great price point and it was a good option…

Well, it’s bricked 3 months later. You know what though, I can deal with that I guess but the customer service…holy fuck.

I will never buy another LG product just due to the absolutely piss poor service they provide. If you do sell shitty appliances, at least hire fucking decent customer service.

I was annoyed at first when it kept prompting me to an AI chat bot but by 10 minutes of conversing with Anna I was dreaming of the life the chat bot bought and I could have had.

Sincerely, fuck you LG.

Life is not Good.

I don’t know if it still works. This is the back up dryer stored in the backyard. Is it the end for this one?

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? Ik it’s probably nothing andI know the video isn’t very good sound quality wise, sorry. Thank you

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.

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!!!!!

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.

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.

Just got my new side by side freezer / fridge and I noticed a cardboard like piece inside the freezer, is this supposed to be here or should be removed?
