I have KDTM404ESS Kitchenaid dishwasher from 2016 that came with the house. The problem has been diagnosed and its the circulator pump, and the fix would be about $525 all in. Basically my question is would you fix that or just get a new dishwasher? I'm not against spending more money, but I always read "they dont make them like they used to" so would it be better to fix this old one than spend 1000-1300 or so on a similar end new one (Bosch 800 or Kitchenaid KDFS424SPS I was looking at).

I have a Maytag MDB4949SKB3 with the supposed “self-cleaning” system. Suddenly, a stringy gunk has permeated my system and this machine has only a user facing coarse catch cup. I’ve scrubbed down the seals, taken the bottom of the tub apart and cleaned it out, and uninstalled the dishwasher, pump, and cleaned the filter. Several cycles with vinegar still leaves this wet dog funk on every dish and I’m losing it, what is left to be done with a machine like this?

I need to replace the oven at a rental property. Looking to spend <$1000 and really focusing on reliability and durability more than anything else.

So far I have been looking at GE, Whirlpool, Frigidaire. Been told to stay away from LG and Samsung (might be hard to do at Costco).

Where should I point my arrow?

I have a wine fridge, and the thermostat failed. I am looking for a replacement and all the thermostats have much folder ranges, for a fridge or freezer. Any ideas where I can find one that will control to 55°F?

Hello! Sorry in advance for the long post but I need help with something very specific.

So I'm renting an apartment for a few months and I accidentally damaged the vegetable bottom drawer in the fridge. I was looking online if I could buy another one to replace it but I am having a few issues.

None of the websites I found that sell spare parts have the specific model I have (which is a Snaige R130 1101AA). I was trying to see if I could find something with the could fit from another brand but this is complicated because:

1. a lot of websites don't show the size of the drawers

2. the drawer I have to replace is actually an "irregular" shape (the top is larger than the bottom) so I don't even know if I should measure the top or the bottom

3. I'm based in Europe and a lot of websites seem to deliver only in the US

Does anyone have any advice? Either on where I can look or if you know the model I have and can recommend a model that can be equivalent?

Thanks a million!
