Bought a house with one previous owner and looks like they never cleaned behind the fridge. The intake was covered in a mat of hair before I cleaned it. Was hoping that would stop the buzzing but just looked inside and saw the coils covered in it. Fridge/freezer still holds temp
Hisense HRF266N6CSE1 Refrigerator
The door alarm is beyond vexsome. I understand that it has its safety features, that it is meant to protect me, that it will end after something like 8 minutes, blah blah blah blah. The truth be told, I do not see these as advantages- the one example I can offer is that it takes me some to load my groceries. The 2 minute limit set by the refrigerator is quite unreasonable. The extra heavy duty grocery hauls I regularly stock need longer than that. The alarm ringing me down, telling at me it definitely feels like, 7 times before it silences on its own, every single time, for the life of this refrigerator, is absolutely not something I will be able to live with.
I had thought most companies were intelligent enough to acknowledge that many in their clientele base have problems with the varieties of alarms that cannot be silenced! Please tell me what solutions can possibly be tried, because the only one I could locate in search results was the "super strong kitchen magnet hack not advised" that will possibly cause other problems? Will it do that? Cause other problems?
Hello,
I recently purchased a gas Samsung dryer for my house since there is only a gas hookup. However, I did not realize that it would be so difficult to find someone to actually hook it up. All of the companies I have called said that they would charge me $100 just to come look at it. The only plumbing company that I got to come look at it free of charge said they were going to give me a good deal and only charge me $500 to hook it up and tried to scare me that if i try to hook it up myself the house might blow up to pressure me to sign. Keep in mind I have the kit and all the materials to hook it up and my home has the standard outlet.
My research tells me an experience plumber should have no trouble connecting the line to the dryer within 15-20 minutes. $500 is what I paid for the dryer and if I knew it was going to be so expensive I would have rather paid an electrician to install an outlet for an electric dryer even though it would be more overall, I could use it to charge electric cars as well. However, I cannot return the dryer anymore.
Does anyone have any advice for me? Am I getting scammed or is this the normal thing now adays and how did I not know it was this difficult/expensive to hook up a gas dryer to a house?
I have a Kenmore gas stove, unsure how old, that has one burner that always lights first time if it hasn't been used recently. However if you use the stove for a few minutes, turn it off and on again, it won't light. This will last for a while (probably ~10 minutes?) at which point it will light fine. The ignition spark is sparking and if we use a match it will light, so gas is flowing well. I can't see anything that would be interfering with the lighting and my googling is coming up with nothing.
Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Tired of cheap ones dying after a year. want something that lasts. what brand do you trust? TIA!
Hi!! I have a stupid ass family member who ive asked multiple times not to wash their muddy shoes in my washing machine, today she washed them again anyway and this time found a rock stuck in the inside of the drum. Its a smaller crack, but i fear it will spread as it spins + i fear there's tiny rocks under the drum causing more damage. I dont remember if I have a warranty on it, ive only had it for a year and I dont think it would matter as we aren't supposed to wash rocks. Is this a big issue that needs repairs? Or could this washer continue to live a happy life?
Just noticed this when running the microwave? it seems to be melting into the door. I turned it off right after taking the video, and there is a small scorch mark on the inside of the door.
Am I going to have to replace my oven?
Hoping someone here will have some insight/advice. Our 2 year old Samsung front-load washing machine has broken down 3 times in the past 5 months. Each time the error code has been a drain issue. We replaced the drain pump ourselves the first time and it was fine for about 2 months and then the same problem happened. We had a technician come out and they also replaced the drain pump and again, it was working fine for 6 weeks but just stopped working today. It can’t possibly be that the drain pump needs to be replaced again-3 times in less than 6 months is absurd. At this point we are just going to buy a new washer but could it be that there is a problem with the house plumbing? I don’t want this to happen again if we do buy a new machine
Hey everyone! Looking for help on this brand new washer/dryer from GE that is going crazy when washing clothes.
I believe this is the unit number: GE GUD27ESMMWW
It appears that the shipping bolt was removed during installation (according to the manual, there is only one on the bottom right handside and there's only a hole there now. I can't upload the picture).
Unit seems level and stable, when it's off I can't rock it back and forth.
This video is with just one bedsheet on the drain and spin cycle.
Any ideas? Should I just send the video to my landlord and have someone come take a peek?
Scared that I'll cause a leak and flood my condo...
Hello -
We replaced our control board, user interface, and door latch and the lights on the user interface board are still blinking (specifically the “clean” button), and it won’t run a cycle.
Any suggestions on what else to do?
Looking to replace our dishwasher. We have a KitchenAid that is probably 15 years old or so. Anyone have a model they recommend?
hello! i just purchased an old desk fan made around 1937 by Robbins & Myers thinking it worked fine but it grumble when turned on, and doesnt start without a push so i opened the gearbox to clean it and it was free spinning, i turned my attention to the electric side and it turn out someone messed with the wires in the past and bypassed what i assume is a run capacitor ( correct me if im wrong)
i drew the diagram of the current wiring, you can ignore the color as im not surre about it.since all the wire are gray.
any help is greatly appreciated!
My husband and I are about to embark for the first time in a kitchen renovation. We want a 36" induction range and a 36" built-in refrigerator with a bottom freezer. Since our current fridge is a small basic Kenmore from 15+ years ago and 60+ years old cooktop and wall ovens, we really have no baseline on the current appliances or if we need all the techs that seems to come with all appliances nowadays.
After two trips to the appliances store, we narrowed down the range between SKS and Bluestar. SKS because of the builder discount, Bluestar because of the matte cooktop finish but no builder discount. For fridge, we are torn between SKS (again with the builder discount) and Sub Zero for its quality reputation but with a hefty price tag.
We are about to commit 75% on SKS for both range and fridge, but wavering due to not many reviews (the same applies to Bluestar induction) we found online.
Anyone have any experience with SKS or Bluestar with their induction range or SKS with their fridge after routine use? Thank you so much!
Hey everyone, I need some perspective on my gas oven. My landlord has been trying to fix it himself (swapping the igniter, tightening the gas line, etc. )but he doesn’t want to bring in a professional. My wife is pregnant, so this has me especially concerned.
I’ve been monitoring CO levels during preheat and cooking with a CO detector. Here’s what I’ve seen:
• Fluctuates between 20–40 ppm on average, with a peak of 57 ppm during preheat
• Timeline from a recent test:
• 3:04 pm — preheating done, 10 ppm
• 3:18 pm — 12 ppm
• 3:20 pm — fan on high, venting — 11 ppm
• 3:25 pm — opened patio door \~1 foot from oven
• 3:30 pm — dropped to 9 ppm
• 3:30 closed patio door — see if it stays down
• 3:45— still lingering at 9 ppm
Even with the patio door open so close to the oven, it’s lingering higher than I’d expect, and I’m unsure if these readings are normal or if this is a real health risk — especially with longer cooking sessions.
Should I push for a professional inspection? Any advice or similar experiences would be appreciated.
Hey appliance specialists!
I've got an LG lmv1813st, over range microwave, made roughly 15 years ago. As of today, whenever I open the door, the fan immediately turns on, closing the door turns the fan off. Any thoughts or ideas?
It's where the white tube and the metal tube connect leaks. The floor behind the fridge was soaking wet. But after i pulled the fridge out, it seems to stop leaking...it only leaks when i move the fridge. I don’t see anywhere i can turn the water off. What can i do? Thank you!
I recently swapped my lockable bar fridge for a non-lockable full sized fridge. I have a family member who steals stuff from fridge and then denies it.
Because it's new, I know I can't drill a lock into it since it would void the warranty.
I've read about adhesive locks, but not sure how good they are against an adult.
What are my options?
I have a 2019 model GD adora French door model. ice maker in the door. DFE28JELFDS model. issue is slow ice production. I've diagnosed that ice maker functions properly, but the process is slow. this model has two airflow vents. top one is supply from freezer and bottom is return. my airflow is backwards in normal operation with cold air blowing in the bottom and suction from the top. verified with tissue paper. in diagnostic mode I can activate the ice box fan and it shows ~2200 rpm which is in spec and airflow is proper through top duct.
any ideas why the motor works in diag but seems to be backwards in normal operation? I don't want to get the parts cannon out.
Problem/Goal:
Looking for a reliable 1.5HP inverter split-type aircon under ₱25k (with free installation) that will last long-term without issues.
Context:
First time buying an aircon
Room size: ~14 sqm
Has sliding window
Gets indirect sunlight only
Budget: max ₱25,000 (all-in)
I’m currently choosing between these TCL series:
KEI/2 – AI Full DC Inverter EcoIn
FBI – CoolPro FreshIn Breathe+
FAI – Fresh+
CSA BEI – TCL Obsidian WiFi
I know features like AI and WiFi are nice, but I don’t really prioritize “smart” features. I’m more concerned about reliability, durability, and overall value for money. I just want something that won’t give me headaches in the long run.
