Fridge question

While browsing Zillow, I'll sometimes come across a home that has an extremely wide fridge. I'm talking 5-6 feet, stainless steel, almost commercial looking.

I've tried searching, but weirdly, I've been able to find very little information on this. What companies offer fridges like this? Where can they be found? I've only been able to find vague references to a 72" fridge offered by a company called "Marvel", but their actual website only lists small under the counter freezers? Can someone link an actual website where fridges like this can be purchased? Or at least with some prices and pictures?

Samsung All in One Combo Review

There’s a ton of negativity here for anything Samsung and all of these all in one combos. I had a Samsung washer/dryer that was here when I bought my house, they were 4 years old and I just sold them at 9 years old still working fine. Only problem I ever had was I changed a thermocouple and an idler pulley. Me and my wife wanted an all in one so we could save energy and open the space a washer takes to build shelving for more space. We also don’t have kids so drying times/laundry isn’t some huge concern for us.

So we got the Samsung, after a massive Home Depot sale and deal it was $1,800. It’s now back up to $2,500 I guess, but deals exist. Not a whole lot more than a stackable set and some sets were more. So let’s kill the narrative that they cost ‘way’ more. I’ve also read many complaints they don’t dry well or take forever. Not with the Samsung, the SOB can wash a load of laundry and dry it in an hour and a half. Clothes are perfectly dry every single time and they come out hot. After all the negativity I read on here and online I thought I made the biggest mistake of my life, total opposite. The machine is sleek, has way too may ridiculous features like Spotify and a ring camera connection. It was hilarious to use at first but it’s not something I’ll use long term. Everything about it has been awesome so far and yes there are modes that lake longer to wash/dry. Some of their AI sensing stuff, I turn it on and go to bed and wake up to clean clothes. I love it. Those will take hours but I don’t care, I’m sleeping. We only wash 2-3 loads of laundry a week anyways. I’d be lying if all the negativity didn’t have me concerned about reliability, especially with all the tech involved. But this machine looks really well built, it weighs over 300 pounds. But I guess we’ll go down that road when we get to it. As for now I can say that the Samsung all in one is awesome!

DIY Bake Ignitor Replacement

Video shows my newly installed ignitor in my Kenmore Elite 790.36603604. Video has the text because I sent it as a video to some friends in Snapchat. Just posting because I wouldn’t consider myself very handy, but was able to tackle this replacement myself with a screwdriver, nut driver, and two replacement screws. Cost of replacement ignitor/shipping/tax was around $180. Replacement of oven would have been $700 plus tax, shipping, removal cost, etc.

Need for replacement was bake function was not working. Top burners and broil function were working, so I consulted the internet and figured it was the bake ignitor (same item number as the broiler ignitor). Just happy I was able to do this. 👍🏼

Maytag MCG8000AWW

I have the above appliance in my basement from the previous family who we purchased our home from. Is there any value for an appliance like this? I’ve never seen a dryer like this before so I wasn’t sure what to do with it. Seems to be in decent condition, I haven’t messed around with it enough to see it if works

Identifying Washing Machine Facuets

Hey all, I have recently moved to a new apartment in Germany and I purchased a new washing machine. Could you please help me identify what are those two faucets are? In my country the water output would be in the floor but there is no water output in my bathroom. I am guessing that the right faucet is the water inflow and the left one is for outflow but I wanted to ask and get help understanding if outflow can also be higher than the ground? Is it common practice in Germany?

Washer and dryer hookup…?

How would I hookup a washer and dryer here? I just moved into an apartment with a washer/dryer hookup, but have never hooked a washer/dryer before. Would I need an electric or gas dryer?

What is this on top of my microwave??

I tried removing it with Pinesol but it won't go away and it seems like it's engraved into the microwave.

Does anyone know what this could be? And how to remove it?

GE Washer/Dryer Combo vibrations due to shipping brackets?

We've had the GE Ultrafast Washer Dryer Combo for almost a year. As of the past few months, the vibrations have been getting worse and worse. We can feel the vibrations in other parts of the house and have noticed the bathroom floor next to the laundry room creaking a lot.

While searching for solutions today, I read that the shipping bolts and brackets must be removed. Lo and behold, I checked the back, and although the installers removed the shipping bolts, they left both brackets on. How big of an impact do these brackets make without the shipping bolts in them? Do we absolutely need to remove the brackets?

Brand New Speed Queen FF7 FL burning rubber smell and extremely loud spin cycle

Hello, wondering if anyone has ever had an issue with Speed Queen FL washer where it's extremely loud on spin cycle and produces a burning rubber smell? Anyone know what could be wrong? I noticed this yesterday, attempted to call the retailer today to schedule warranty maintenance but of course they're closed, who knows how long it will be before I can get someone out. It's very concerning to me though as I'm not sure if there's a risk of fire or serious damage so I am not using the washer for now.

Video here:

This is a brand new FF7 washer that is only 1 month old. It was a bit noisy when I first got it, but I've read these machines can be noisy and it wasn't bad before. The new noise is much worse, it makes a grinding sound as it increases the RPM speed and then at the highest spin speed, there's a continuous hum that didn't exist before. I took the bottom panel off and looked underneath and nothing looked obviously wrong. If anyone has any ideas what it could be while I wait for warranty service I'd appreciate it, especially if this is a scenario where I could still safely use the washer for now, maybe on a lower spin speed.

LG Washer+Dryer Issues

We have an ongoing issue with our washer+dryer combo. The OE thing is constantly popping up when we try to run a load. We tried replacing the drain pump, but it popped back up in a month. I’ve gone over the troubleshooting instructions the main site gives me to try and solve it, but it doesn’t work. I tried checking the draining hose to see if there were any clogs in it, but I didn’t see any issues, so I moved the hose into another outlet, but the issue still came up. Can anyone give any advice?

Costco fridges arrives with scratches

Receive my fridge today with some scratches to the front stainless steel bottom drawer.

The 3rd picture shows groves when zoomed in.

Also some damages to the side of the fridge. You can see small bit of metal underneath the coating of the side. Rust may be an issue.

Q: Anyone know if this is a deep scratches on the front metal drawer of the fridge are deep grooves in the metal or just light scratches?

Should I exchange or ask for compensation?

Just came home to my 1.5-year old SpeedQueen tc5 dryer running for the past 6 hours. And I NEVER turn the knob counterclockwise.

WTF SpeedQueen? How is there not a recall on these dryers!?

GE Dishwasher lower rack tines keep falling and causing plates to crash

https://preview.redd.it/sjitfzubviyc1.jpg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cf8a6b96f9f232d67e49c2bd532233c47c6e051e

The lower rack on the dishwasher for my new place has this adjustable bar where you can choose one of three positions for the tines where you load larger plates on the bottom rack. Its a nice feature in theory as it lets me load different size plates/bowls, but it has repeatedly crashed when some dish pulls on the tines slightly away from the adjustable bar, causing the tines to fall and the plates to crash into a pile with nothing holding them up. I've checked all the manuals/documentation on the GE website and don't see much information on it. Is there something I'm missing? Is there a more secure way to set these tines so they don't collapse when loading dishes? Assuming I'm not the only person to ever have this issue.

Costco Induction Cafe vs GE

GE Profile PHP9036DTBB vs Cafe CHP90361TBB, what's the difference? Same five burner wattage and size. Same 19 heat settings. Same layout. The list of similarities goes on. The only difference I can find are a slight variation in sizes and red/white versus red display. Why is the cafe $400 more?
