Kitchenaid Professional 5

This is my mixer, it's pretty old but still going strong. However, here lately, it's been making some weird sounds when it's running at medium speed. Sort of like a grinding noise. It only happens in short intervals. I try to take care of it the best I know, I keep it impeccably clean, but is there any preventative maintenance that I should be doing on it? I noticed some plastic inserts on the side that are cut for a standard screwdriver. Is there any lubing I should be doing on it? Thanks in advance.

KitchenAid range hood (KVWB400DSS) LEDs dimmed.

This is the second time this has happened in two years. I fixed the first time with a new transformer. And I assume it’s the same issue. Does anyone know a way to fix permanently? Or is there some type of recall?

Suggestions/Feedback/Advice for 24 inch gas range & Experience w/ Bertazzoni or Blomberg?

Hi Everyone, I am looking for a 24 inch gas range and had my eyes set on the Bertazzoni, but have been reading that while it's so good looking you want to date it, it doesn't actully work quite so well. Can anyone please share their experience with a Bertazzoni gas range, as well as any others that really deliver? I am also looking at the Blomberg, Forno and possibly GE. If you have any feedback, I'd so greatly appreciate it - I have exhausted online reviews and all sound quite negative for options in this size. TYVM!!!

New GE garage ready freezer

Just arrived today. Before purchasing I chatted with the Costco outsourced help line. They said an extension cord was okay and safe. Page one of the owners manual says “do not use an extension cord”. I had to run an extension cord to get this thing online.
What’s the deal appliance gurus?

How to fix large flames

I bought my oven brand new a few years ago when I was 16/17, but I've never really been able to use it because the oven burner wouldn't even light. (The stove top works well)

Over the years, I've paid a couple of people to come take a look at it, but they basically just opened it up, put it back together, and charged me without actually fixing anything. Looking back, I know that wasn't the best decision, but unfortunately, the technicians where I live don't seem to have much experience repairing this type of ovens/stoves.

A while ago, with help from the Reddit community, I figured out that the igniter was likely the problem. I recently bought a replacement igniter and installed it myself. Since I use LP (propane) gas, I also converted the oven from its natural gas settings to the LP settings.

The oven now lights, but the flames are still very large and yellow. I've already tried adjusting the air shutter, but it hasn't made a difference. The igniter also Burns and I'm not sure if that's normal 😵‍💫

The oven is a General Electric AGBS45DEF1BS.

What else could be causing the large yellow flames, and what should I check next? Is there anything that could have been missed during the LP conversion or installation?

Need a large slice Spam Slicer

I like to take a can of Spam and cut it width wise so I end up with 4 slices that fit on an entire piece of bread and I grill it up like a burger. All the slicers I find want it cut the short way like I’m making musabi. Is there is a slicer out there or a jig I can put it in and get 4 even slices?

1800 CFM Pro Line Hood or 900 CFM Vent-A-Hood?

I’m trying to choose a vent for my daily cooking, which is indian cooking so obviously lots of spices involved. I’m trying to choose between an 1800 CFM pro line or ventahood for 900 cfm. The reason I’m asking is because I’m reading a lot that the latter’s l lung system essentially raises the effectiveness without the need for more CFM. So wanted to know if there were any recs between the two

Has anyone used the KitchenAid Pure Power Stand Mixer for Indian cooking?

Hi everyone,

We’re planning to buy the KitchenAid Pure Power Stand Mixer and wanted to know if it’s suitable for Indian cooking.

Specifically, can it handle:
Dosa/idli batter
Coconut chutney
Other wet grinding tasks

I understand it may not be suitable for dry grinding spices or masalas, and that’s completely fine. My main concern is whether it can do wet grinding well and produce smooth batters and chutneys.

If anyone owns this model, especially Indians living abroad who use it for Indian cooking, I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience.
Would you recommend it, or should I look at another appliance?
Thanks in advance!

Kismile tabletop ice machine

Kismile HZB-15N Nugget Ice Maker - Auger homes then stops/freezes

Machine was given to me after sitting unused for a while. During troubleshooting found and fixed:

Blocked water line with heavy mineral buildup

Heat sink completely clogged with dust and pet hair

Current issue after cleaning:

Powers on fine, blue ring light solid, no error codes

Compressor and pump both run normally

Auger motors to home position then completely stops

Auger then freezes solid with ice around the shaft

Have to manually thaw it to move again

If nudged manually after homing it will spin freely under its own power till its at home again

Pump only runs briefly at startup during ice mode but runs continuously fine during clean cycle

No grinding, no error lights, acts like everything is normal

Seems like the auger should be spinning continuously but something is stopping it after homing. Motor seems healthy since it runs fine when nudged.

Any ideas what's causing it to stop after homing and not continue spinning?

i don’t know how often it happens, but i found out my fridge gets warmer (up to 42 degrees fahrenheit) at night

Hello there, I’m asking here because I just did some grocery shopping and I do NOT want to throw everything I bought.

I put this indoor thermometer in the fridge yesterday before midnight, and today when I woke up, I discovered the fridge got warmer at around 4am, up to 6 degrees celsius / 42 degrees fahrenheit, which as far as i know it’s not safe for food?

I am really careful about my safety but I also don’t want to throw money away. I’m chronically ill and some food poisoning could genuinely kill me. I would love some advice / why on earth is this happening?

I want to also note that I’m living in a rented apartment for now. Thank you so much for the eventual help

Whirlpool dishwasher not cleaning well. What else can I try?

I have a Whirlpool Gold Series (Edit): WDT720PADM2 dishwasher. It's about 8 years old. It hasn't been cleaning well for a few years. It used to just be the top rack, but now the bottom rack isn't doing as well either. I'm very good about not using too much detergent, not overloading it, and I clean the filters every time. I e used "dishwasher cleaner" over the years. I've wiped out the well and the eye sensor. I've replaced both spray arms and the manifold. I always run the hot water in the sink first to get it up to temp. It doesn't matter the cycle I choose, it never cleans well.

I'm a very mechanical person. I'm a builder. I do my own repairs on most things that won't kill me if I screw it up.

I have hard water. Is it possible that the motor or pump or inlet valves are clogged with minerals? Would the motor or pump slowly go bad?

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Can I plug a wine fridge into a power strip/surge protector?

I bought this wine fridge but the cord is not long enough for the wall outlet I need to get to.

This is what it says on the back sticker. I hope this means something to you.

Rated Voltage: 115V

Rated Frequency: 60Hz

Rated Current: 1.2A

The only other thing that might plug in to the strip is a printer or paper shredder.

I have some random power strips kicking around. What details should I be reading off of them to make sure it's suitable or what should I be looking for if I buy a new one.
