Tenant broke a knob off my viking D3 Range. Found the knob on the floor. Looks like they tried to glue it back on, but the metal insert is snapped off in the knob. Ive Never dealt with a repair like this. Any advice?
Hello,
Can someone please help and let me know what this circled part is called? It is leaking and I would like to replace it if possible. Is this replaceable?
It is a GE Profile dishwasher. About 3 years old.
Thank you very much!
My 26-year old Kenmore fridge seems to be emitting an overwhelming smell of rotting fruit. No, there’s no rotting fruit or dead mice or moldy drains in the kitchen. The smell went away for a couple of days right before the appliance guy arrived, of course. He cleaned the drip pan and vacuumed underneath, but the next morning, the smell is back. I asked about a coolant leak but he said the fridge temps are fine and did not want to mess with the closed coolant system. So. Does this sound like a coolant leak? Is it worth fixing, and if not, what is the most reliable brand of fridge? I would want the stupidest fridge possible, no high tech screens, not even a water dispenser.
Help! Our family has had a leaking washer for years. Sometimes it leaks and sometimes it doesn’t. We just replaced the front boot seal as there was a long tear in it, and during our test wash, water still leaked. I finally took a video inside and saw this. I assume it’s the drain hose. I’m the child of this family and am trying to identify this issue as this washer needing fixing has been a long time coming. My family has mobility issues, so it took a lot for us to replace the door sealant, and with financial issues, we’re hoping this is something I can fix with a new part myself. Not replace a machine or call somebody. The water that leaks seems to be dirty water. Other notes is that when it seems to drain is when more drips? I just really would appreciate help and kindness with this. It’s very overwhelming to have just changed the entire boot seal and then have a leak still.
Thank you! I appreciate y’all.
Is this normal build up after less than a week of once daily washing?
I have a 240v electric dryer “Roper Red4440V01”
I ran 10/4 romex from the panel to a new 4 prong outlet, 2 pole breaker. And after troubleshooting not getting heat in the dryer I realized I was reading 120v from ground to each pole but if I try to read both poles I’m seeing zero…..then I notice a jump wire at the top of my panel…..
I go to the main panel next to the meter and I see that there is only 1 wire coming in……looks like I only have Single Phase from the electrical pole.
I am debating what I want to do about our dryer. We have an older, no frills GE dryer. It came with the house and has worked fine until about 6 months ago. The heating coils needed replaced and it worked great after that until the heat went out again this week. I hate that I have to take the drum out to see anything in the back to see if it’s something simple like the purple wire and to go through our warranty company again it would be $125 again. Plus they can’t come out until July 10th and then another week if they have to order parts.
The other option is to get a new whirlpool, no frills simple model from Costco for $560 delivered and installed with a 2 year warranty. It won’t be delivered until the 10th either but at least I would be able to dry laundry that day.
What would you do? Cheaper to repair but if I have to keep repairing I’m going to soon end up spending more than I would have to just get a new one.
I have a KitchenAid French door refrigerator that is a little over 3 years old. From day one, I wasn't happy with it even though it was the refrigerator that I dreamed about getting. It was loud. Loud enough to hear it down the hall. Not always, just daily. Finally, that noise stopped. Last year, just after the warranty expired, my freezer quit working. The day the guy came to look at it, it had started working again. So, he charged 700 for a fix that he was just guessing at. Yesterday, it quit working again. I took out my food, and in about 3 hours, it started working again. My question is, do I throw more money at it, or just get a new refrigerator? This was an expensive refrigerator, but I'm not happy with it at all.
We took all the doors apart to bring it in but now having a hard time putting the rail back to the freezer. Please see pictures if you can help. The other side is perfect.
I asked ChatGPT n looked on YouTube but I was only able to find regular replacement.
My contractor has recently installed custom kitchen millwork.
During the millwork fabrication, there was some miscommunication and the range hood cabinet was fabricated with a fixed front panel. This cabinet is already installed.
The range hood cabinet has a cutout on the bottom for the range hood but there is no top access to the cabinet because of an existing bulkhead that has HVAC inside.
The contractor says its no big deal, but appliance installation is not part of their scope.
My question, is it even possible to install an insert range hood when there is no access to the cabinet to connect and tape vent ductwork? And if it is possible, what are the steps?
Hello everyone. We got error E15 for water in the base of the DW, and to access the water/ leak, I had to remove the front panel off the DW. I soaked up the water, and went to turn it back on to see where it was leaking from, but now the DW is dead and won't come back on. The DW has 120 volts, and its has 3v DC coming in to the on/off switch. Could the control board have fried randomly? Luckily, they are like $15 used on eBay for my DW:

Any thoughts or advice on anywhere else to check while I wait for this new board?
I'm trying to replace the original duck bill grommet and plastic funnel with a newer replacement (p-trap design with funnel to evap tray) but cannot remove the old plastic funnel (see pic). All the You Tube videos just show the tech doing the replacement pulling the old plastic funnel off the tube in the bottom. However, I see that on mine, there is a small plastic tab that is holding it in place through a square hole in the old funnel. It's in a difficult location to try and squeeze the tab in, if it's even flexible and designed to be pushed in. I've tried pushing with my thumb as I wiggled the funnel around on the plastic tube nipple it's slid over but it doesn't seem to move the tab at all. I can't get in there with a small screwdriver or other tool to try and push on the tab since there's a substantial amount of sheet metal shrouding around a fan right in that area.
We currently own a 3 year old LG Washtower (WKEX200HBA) that we purchased from Costco.ca in 2023. Not long after we bought it, the dryer started performing poorly (running way too long). Repair company came out and replaced the motherboard under warranty. Over the past year, we started getting repeated D80 codes… the venting is clean, and we re-cleaned the vent flap on the outside of the house too just to be sure it was working. Spoke to Costco and they have been amazing - even though it’s out of warranty, they had us get an appliance company out to diagnose the issue (reimbursed fully in Costco gift cards). The repair company said it needed a new motherboard and a few other parts, totalling over $1300. Costco responded that they wanted to help but instead of repairing, they want to “buy back” the machine for a prorated amount ($1550 plus tax… we paid around $2150 originally). Needless to say, we are going to take them up on this offer.
The question now is which to get… they’re reimbursing us with gift cards, so we need to purchase the replacement from Costco.ca as well. We need a Washtower style again to fit our laundry room, but could also get a pair of separates with a stacking kit.
Priorities for us include reliability, large capacity, steam dryer and obviously cleaning performance. We don’t care about things like “smart” functions.
Some options we were considering:
Electrolux ELTE760CAT ($2393)
LG WKEX300HBA ($2395)
LG WKHC252HBA ($2994)
Electrolux ELFW7738AA | ELFE773CAA ($2728)
Maytag MFW7020RF | YMED7020RF ($2636)
Maytag MHW5630MBK | YMED5630MBK ($2236)
GE PFW870SPVRS | PFD87ESMVRS ($2590 excl stacking kit)
GE GFD65ESMVDS | GFW655SPVDS ($2390 excl stacking kit)
The separates listed above also include the stacking kit in the pricing.
Any advice on which you’d choose? Online seems to say LG is the most reliable, and while we aren’t against LG entirely, we wouldn’t mind a different brand given our current experience.
Edit: thanks to those suggesting Speed Queen but unfortunately I don’t think Costco.ca carries them
I’ve had the Midea in window unit for almost 3 years. It was working great and now is barely blowing cold air. I performed the check and this is what it says. Any idea what to do????
Pretty often when I run the Whirlpool dishwasher, the soap pod doesn’t dispense. I make sure there’s no dishes or cutlery blocking the way, but I’m not sure what the fix is here. Any ideas?
I just replaced our LG gas oven igniter with part MEE61841401. It’s working great and cooking food properly. The problem is there is now a chemical smell when heating up. The oven has run a cumulative total of around 2 hours now with cooking food and the chemical smell remains. Any idea what this could be? Should I give it more time to see if the smell goes away? TIA
My fridge broke the other day, trying to figure out if I should repair or replace.
The freezer is working, but no air flow to the fridge compartment. Fridge is sitting at 16 C. Could be a broken evaporator fan.
Does anyone know the make/model? I've scoured the fridge for stickers but can't find any.
Thanks!
To reduce hairfall, I am planning to buy this Kent water softener for bathing, as we have very hard water at home.
Does anyone have any positive or negative feedback about this product, or any alternative recommendations?
We will use it only for bathing, not for any other purpose. My only concern is protecting our hair from the effects of hard water.
From what I understand, a water conditioner doesn't actually remove hardness, hence planning to buy this expensive 15k-17k Water softener.
I'd appreciate any advice or experiences.
My kitchenaide refrigerator made a noise and when we opened the refrigerator, there was black smelly, chemical all on the interior. We already have had a technician out twice prior to this happening Has this happened to anyone else? Technician will be out tomorrow. None of my food was salvageable 😢
