It’ll make the noise in the beginning wash cycle, spin cycle, and in the video also in the beginning of the drying cycle. In the beginning of the washing/spin cycle it’ll make the noise for much longer. Does anyone know what it is or how to fix it?
Hello friends,
I am working on a replacement for this porcelain sink. As you can see it is cracked, it appears to be an american standard which was discontinued but popular in the early 2000s.
Finding a replacement sink has been a nightmare. We are calling places, they are saying that we need to cut the granite—but places won’t cut it unless it is granite they installed. So basically telling us we need to replace the whole countertop.
We are in Ohio.
What to do in this situation? Anyone come across this, and know how to go about this situation?
Thank you in advance ☺️ My husband and I are not handy and love any advice.
I moved into a new house and a dishwasher wasn’t working, I checked the breaker and it looks to be running off a dual 15 amp breaker. Every time I flipped on the breaker machine turns on for half a second and then stops ,breaker does not trip. Should I buy a new dishwasher or just replace the breaker is missing a screw and seems to be a little charred.
I'm moving into a rental that does not come with a dishwasher, any suggestion on a benchtop dishwasher that is idiotproof (me) and will not require any modification. Preferably one that I can just plug and wash ie one that I can just pour water into a container and stick the hose into the sink to drain.
Been on marketplace around my area and the ones there look like they need to be connected to some sort of inlet valve.
We just purchased a FRTE2246AS and tried to reverse the doors. In doing so we learned that Frigidaire hates their customers and does not care at all about product quality.
Do not buy this fridge or any fridge from Frigidaire as far as I'm concerned. Do you have to put a fridge on it's back to reverse a door? Not for any fridge until now! Do you need specialty tools to get the flush plastic bits out to reverse a hinge. Not for any fridge until now! Do the instructions make sense? Not at all! Foam filled into every needed to reverse while other holes are impty. Intentionally made as difficult as possible.
The bins for veggies are a complete joke, open or closed doesn't matter because the bins are totally open on the sides and seal. So don't expect your produce to keep, they have designed it so they can't keep, so you will lose more money because of thier willfully deficient design. One more way they tell you they don't respect their customers and don't care.
And freezer door bins that are too narrow to use for anything except cans. Useless.
Quality of entire product highly questionable, will not buy this brand ever again.
Is there anyway to get away from this issue, where Fridges eventually have the issue where they Freeze over or the Freezer side Freezes over?
Issue 1
I've got a Samsung (was given to me), where it freezes over in the fridge, and water accumulates into the drawer. I've fixed this a few times and have cleared it out. But now the Freezer section doesn't want to cool/freeze. So, I am at a loss with that one, it doesn't appear that there are issues with the fans or cooling. Thoughts on this issue?
Issue 2
My MIL fridge has now taken to Freezing over on the Freezer size. I recently (about 3 months or so ago) defrosted the freezer's ice/water area, and Now it appears (I haven't seen it yet, but will once I am off work today), has taken to completely freezing over (from what I am told, no photos yet). So there's that. Thoughts on this as well other then the normal review of items listed here and online to do?
- Check Drain tube/drain blockage
- Check Evaporator fan icing over
- Check Door gasket / air leak
- Manual Defrost, etc
Is there anyway to get around this or a good Appliance to go with? Our Inside Fridge/Freezer is good, but my MIL just goes and gets one without checking (especially the dimensions). Forgive me if this has been asked and listed. I'll follow up and look with a list, its just frustrating to get bothered by, yet she doesn't listen when they purchase... Cheers and Thanks all.
Edit:
My 2nd fridge that is for Issue 1, is a Top Fridge / Bottom Freezer drawer (Samsung if I remember correctly)
Issue 2 fridge is a Side by side LG LSXS26326S /11.
Help, I'm desperate!! My landlord finally replaced my ancient fridge, but I can't find access to the door hinges on the new one and can't get remember t through the doorway into the kitchen!!!
The brand is Romo, the previous owners removed the sticker with the model info on it and the one manual I was able to find online says I need to call in a service tech if I want to remove the doors. If that's the case, I'm definitely charging it to my landlords 😤😤😤
But if anyone can help me do this myself, I would be eternally grateful!!!
Recently inherited an ice maker from a neighbor yesterday and now trying to figure out why it isn’t running. I’ve provided video footage of what’s happening.
- When the hose tube are down the water flows out the back however when they’re up the machine will suck in a bit of water but won’t suck the remaining water into the machine and leave with the message “add water” even when I poured water into the internal water basin.
I assume this has to do with the water pump (as many people point towards that being the main culprit of issues) or the float sensor. I’m not particularly versed in repairing so any help/direction would be appreciated in getting this baby back and running!
Hello, a couple days ago I was hearing this clicking sound and couldn't figure out where it was coming from, it was the freezer compressor. It was really hot. I was able to get the black box off where the relay is but confused on how to test the thermostat, compressor and relay.
I have never used a multimeter. I don't want to buy any parts unless I know what part is bad. A year ago, the green light went out but not sure if that is connected to the issue. Also, how do you find the replacement part number is for a Haier Deep Freezer.
How do I test this relay?
Samsung French door fridge from 2011. Freezer has not been freezing, fridge is fine. Did all the diagnostic checks, it appeared the defrost sensor was not working correctly. Fan running fine, temp sensor seemed fine. So I replaced the temp and defrost sensor with OEM parts yesterday. And now I think it’s even warmer than it was. What am i missing? Cleaned the coils in the back, and the circuit board is not blinking any errors.
Never buying a Samsung refrigerator again after this!!
Bought a Samsung side-by-side fridge in 2020 thinking a “reputed” brand would at least provide reliability for more than a few years. Turns out the fridge barely survived properly till last summer before becoming a nonstop headache.
Last October it stopped cooling completely. Samsung customer care sent engineers who said the gas had leaked and refilled it. Fine.
Then the SAME issue happened again.
And again. And AGAIN!!!!
Three separate gas refills, ₹7,000-₹8,000 wasted, countless calls, repeated service visits, spoiled food, and days without a working refrigerator. This time the fridge remained unusable for weeks because we didn’t even have any energy to go for it again.
Now during the FOURTH visit, the engineers suddenly “discover” that the refrigerator has INTERNAL PIPE LEAKAGE and according to Samsung policy it cannot even be repaired.
So after wasting months of our time and money on temporary gas refills, Samsung’s final solution is to offer around ₹10,000 after depreciation cuts for a side-by-side refrigerator that originally cost many times more.
How exactly is INTERNAL leakage the customer’s fault? Did we magically open sealed internal pipes inside the fridge and damage them ourselves?
And if the actual issue was internal leakage from the start, why were Samsung engineers blindly refilling gas three times instead of properly diagnosing the root cause? Either the technicians were incompetent or Samsung knowingly kept delaying the inevitable while we kept paying.
This is not “wear and tear”. This is either a manufacturing defect or terrible product quality.
What’s even more insulting is the compensation amount. ₹10k for a premium side-by-side fridge? Even local kabadi wala would offer more.
Samsung happily sells expensive appliances with premium branding, but when a major internal failure happens just a few years later, suddenly everything becomes “policy” and “depreciation”. Pathetic service. Pathetic quality control. Pathetic customer handling. Anyone else dealing with Samsung refrigerators failing like this?
Husband thought it was the arm that needed to be replaced, but it looks like it’s the actual spinner that snapped off. Any way to salvage this? Is our only option to replace the whole middle arm hose mechanism? Does that require some skill or can I figure it out (not handy at all)?
So this morning I discovered that the belt had broken on my dryer. I looked up instructions on YouTube and found this, however this and everything else I've been able to find makes reference to an idler pulley. The thing is, mine doesn't have one. When I removed the drum I did see this thing just lying on the bottom, though:
It wasn't attached to anything, just lying loose. It looks like something meant to serve the same purpose as an idler pulley, but the thing is, it looks like the belt would go through it, and as both it and the belt are continuous I'd have to cut the belt and splice it to do that (and the old broken belt shows no sign of a splice).
Any idea how to proceed? Thanks in advance.
Where do I find replacement parts for my oven? I have looked at a few sites but am afraid my oven may be so old that they just do not make the parts any longer..
Likewise, if I cannot buy the replacement part is there any way I can 3D print it?
Make: Kenmore
Model: 850.4237891
Parts needed:
Lower door left hinge: 22049
Lower door left spring: WT4173267
(I found the part numbers in the manual and had an appliance tech confirm this was what was needed)
The problem is the bottom oven will not close so food does not cook.. I have tried to come up with other solutions like a gate clip to close the door fully but it would look terrible.. open to suggestions!
I never thought I’d be posting something like this about Whirlpool.
For almost my entire childhood, we had a Whirlpool double-door refrigerator at our home in Hyderabad. That fridge lasted around 17-20 years and, unbelievably, we never once had to call a repair technician for it.
A few years ago, we shifted to Chennai for education purposes, so we left that refrigerator back in Hyderabad. By the time we returned, the fridge had naturally reached the end of its life after serving our family for nearly two decades.
Because of that experience, we trusted Whirlpool again without even thinking twice.
So recently, we bought a new Whirlpool single-door refrigerator from Reliance Digital in Hyderabad.
But within just ONE WEEK, we noticed the rubber lining/gasket on the door starting to come out already.
Honestly, this feels shocking because the old Whirlpool fridge built so much trust in the brand. That refrigerator survived years of usage, Hyderabad heat, voltage fluctuations, and daily wear without any major issue.
Now I genuinely don’t know:
- Is this a Whirlpool manufacturing quality issue?
- Or was the fridge mishandled/stored improperly at the showroom or during delivery?
Attaching images for reference.
I still respect Whirlpool because our old refrigerator was honestly legendary in terms of reliability, but this experience with the new one has been disappointing so far.
Would appreciate honest opinions from people here:
Tagging Whirlpool India and Reliance Digital because I genuinely hope this gets resolved properly.
Hi everyone!
I am moving houses and while packing, I noticed a cable to my portable fridge, which I believe was perfectly fine some months ago, is snapped in two pieces.
I don't recall it would have any damage to it when I bought the fridge, but I might have missed it. It's been sitting on the same spot for 3 months, and when I needed to unplug it, I would unplug it at the socket, on the other side. Unfortunately I haven't used it for some time so I can't even trace back when it happened.
Does it look like it has been cut or it could be damaged by accident and it simply snapped? A sabotage by a flatmate could be a possibility here, and that's why I am asking about it 🤫
A few years ago we swapped out gas for induction ... and got a Zline. It is very pretty but not very useful outside of boiling water.
We're considering replacing this range but feel burned (ha) on induction.
Can I please have recommendations of what kind of (30 inch) range/ oven to get?
We could some pointers on how to avoid the following pitfalls and/or reassurance that these only happen with not-great induction products, if possible.
Biggest problems with current range:
We use AllClad mostly, but we also have some cast iron and a Caraway pot, plus a tiny ceramic skillet from Marshalls.
I really like the colorful look of our Zline, but that's it. I welcome your recommendations of any kind of better options. If you happen to know of colorful ones (or even wraps?) that's a plus.
We're in the US. Budget is maybe under $6K USD, but I really want to know any and all good options.
Thanks!
Hi everyone,
I have a leakeage problem with a brand new Bosch dishwasher. Since the first cycle, I noticed moisture around the door and few drops on the floor. Is it a factory defect or wrong montage? Anyone had a similar issue? Thanks in advance!
Hi Guys,
We are looking for a 1000 to 120 CFM range hood, to match to a six-burner dual fuel wolf range. Because the installation will be on a wall which is higher than the cabinets, a chimney style probably won’t look right. So we are looking for a wall-style stainless range hood.
Any recommendations or thoughts? Any brands or features to look for? What should we expect to pay for this?
This is the range we have selected
I’m honestly at my limit and need some advice.
I purchased a Blue Star AC system worth around ₹11,00,000, and it has had issues since day one after installation. It never worked properly, and despite repeated complaints over the past year, nothing has been resolved.
I’ve contacted support multiple times, technicians have visited, temporary fixes were attempted—but the core issue has never been fixed. At this point, I feel like I’ve been completely ignored.
Now it’s been over a year, and I’m stuck with a non-functional product of this value.
I’m considering taking legal action and asking for compensation (around ₹5,00,000), but I’m not sure about the best way to proceed:
- Should I file a consumer complaint?
- Should I target the company (Blue Star) or the installation vendor—or both?
- Has anyone here successfully handled a case like this?
Would really appreciate guidance from anyone who has gone through something similar or understands consumer law in India.
Thanks in advance.
