Does this part of my Beko DFN 1431 dishwasher seem broken or incomplete?

Hi everyone,

I recently moved into a new place, and the dishwasher (a Beko DFN 1431) was left by the landlord. Unfortunately, I don’t have the manual for it, and I’ve noticed something odd about the water softener adjustment area. . From what I’ve seen in similar models, there’s supposed to be a small mechanism (like a small handle) inside the circular part to adjust the water softener. In my case, there’s nothing there, and I’m wondering:

  1. Does it look like something is missing or broken?
  2. If yes, do you know where I could find a replacement part for this model?

Thanks in advance for any help! I’m trying to figure this out as I don’t want to damage the dishwasher due to incorrect water settings.

Wolf 36” Dual Fuel Range

We’ve had the range for about a month or two and had the cooling fan replaced right away due to it being terrible loud. It now makes a humming sound when cooling off - much quieter than before. I’m guessing it’s normal but it does seem a bit loud.

Can anyone here confirm that the humming/buzzing is normal when cooling the oven off?

Hotpoint Natural Gas Stove Question

This should be the exact model I have in my apartment. I was wondering how to turn on the Oven Pilot Light. This was the only YouTube Video I could find. Any other general advice?

Samsung dishwasher

My new samsung dishwasher has the heavy and express 60 lights blinking as error code. Some records are saying its draining issue and some saying its heating element not working. Cycle is ended prematurely with full of foam. I filled up water at the bottom and water is draining properly. What could be the issue?

Did my son wreck our dryer?

My 22 year old son left a pen in his pocket and it exploded in the dryer. To get the ink off the dryer walls, he sprayed graffiti remover all over the inside of the dryer. This was obviously a bad move compounded with a very bad move. My question is, can we ever use the dryer again? I’m worried that even if he cleans it out, some of that highly combustible, carcinogenic chemical will cause a fire, either in the dryer or the vent hose. Am I overreacting?

All in one washer dryer combo units. Samsung versus GE.

I'm getting ready to pull the plug and buy an all-in-one washer dryer combo unit with heat pump. I see that the Samsung bespoke has a larger capacity which is appealing however I haven't had great luck with Samsung appliances in the past so I'm a little hesitant. Thoughts or experiences From anyone who's done any research on these units or who owns one of these units would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

Shorted oven removing dead bulb...

Just moved into a new place and noticed that one of the lightbulbs was dead in the oven. It's an oven that is built into the cabinetry so I couldn't unplug it. I also didn't want to shut the power off to the entire kitchen at the breaker panel (stupid of me in hindsight) so I decided to just go ahead and remove the dead bulb.

Well the glass bulb was separated from its base and the base was really jammed in there. I had to use a pair of pliers in order to get it to turn....

After a loud pop and a bright flash the oven immediately "turned off". No more lights, buttons don't work, etc.

From what I've read online so far the general concensus appears to be that I have shorted it and fried the control panel.

Is this a simple fix? Just order a new one, (turn off the breaker...) and replace it? I am trying to figure out if I should just call an appliance repair company or if it is very easy in which case I'll try to save some money.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Oven Model: P CT916SR1SS

I found this replacement (> $500 CAD... yikes):

Roper Dryer's Automatic Cycle Never Ends

I'm not home tonight, so the model number will have to wait till tomorrow, but I have an electric Roper dryer with an electromechanical knob for mode and length selection. The issue is that, while the dryer always dries no matter what mode it's in, the automatic modes just go on forever without the needle ever moving a single tick. The timer mode does function as it should, so I know it's not the knob itself. Any ideas on what might be done to fix this?

Do 65-inch-tall fridges with side-by-side doors exist?

I have three requirements:

  • side by side fridge and freezer placement
  • NO water/ice dispenser (waste of space)
  • 65 inches tall (a bit shorter is fine too)

I've scoured 4 different websites and can't find a fit. I am willing to pay ANY price

Miele older combo in 2024?

Have the opportunity to get the TWB120WP and the WWB020 WCS for about $1100 from FB Marketplace, relatively unused due to the guy moving about a year ago.

Do y’all think these machines hold up in 2024? I like the idea of energy efficiency but wondering if this is a good deal.

Old oven emitting heat

Hi, I just moved into an older apartment. The oven/ stove is emitting heat even though I haven’t turned it on since moving in. The grates and burners are hot to the touch and have the slightest gas smell (not a strong one at all). When I open the oven door it’s not as hot. There is a heater next to it but that is not on and is cold to the touch. Any advice or anyone know if older ovens such as the one pictured tend to do this? Thanks.

Bosch 800 Costco Depth

I am looking to purchase a Bosch 800 from Costco (SHX78CC5UC) but noticed the depth is 22.56” as compared to 23.75” for the models at Home Depot/Lowes/etc. (SHX78CM5N).

I am leaning towards the Costco model due to the built in water softener, but is the depth going to be noticeable for the size of dishes I can load?

For reference I have a KitchenAid now and the depth is 24.5” so not sure what I’m giving up with the 2”.

GE Ultrafast Combo Phantom Button Presses – Anyone Else?

I’ve been having an issue with my GE Ultrafast combo that seems like it’s experiencing phantom button presses. While washing a load on any setting, the keypad automatically locks, and I hear the sound of keys being “pressed” repeatedly, even though no one is touching it.

Sometimes when I try to select a cycle, it keeps jumping to a different one. Once the cycle starts, it runs fine with no issues, but it’s frustrating not being able to reliably select my desired cycle.

Has anyone else experienced this or have any idea what might be causing it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Bosch vs Whirlpool counter depth refrigerator

Trying to pick between these two models:

Whirlpool: WRQA59CNKZ Whirlpool 19.2 cu. ft. Counter Depth 4 Door Refrigerator with Easy Shelves

and

Bosch: 100 Series French Door Bottom Mount Refrigerator 36'' Stainless steel (with anti-fingerprint)

Any suggestions? The Bosch seems to be a new model and not much information is available online.

Thanks

THANK YOU all for helping with my snow issue. But now she’s groaning at me!

If you didn’t see my last post - freezer drawer wasn’t closed all the way and caused snow flurries. Fixed that. Now every 3 or so seconds it makes that higher pitch whirring sound. Can I just ignore it? Do I need to call the place I got it from a couple weeks ago? This is a new sound that started after this snow storm. There was a longer time gap between whirs but now it’s 3ish seconds between.

Thank you!!!!!

Fridge Freezer Problems

I had a repair guy come out to look at our freezer since it doesn’t feel as cold as it used to and it slowly over 3 weeks stopped making ice. He told me our fridge was propane and that I just needed to turn the freezer to -8 degrees and give it a week. It’s been 10 hours since we’ve changed the temp and it doesn’t seem to have made a difference. Fridge experts: does this sound normal? Does it really take a week? I’m debating if I should just go ahead and reopen the claim-it’s covered under our home warranty

He also said given the fridge is propane (typically its Freon) it’s highly flammable….which is concerning since our fridge is by the oven. The only thing separating the two appliances is a sliver of countertop/wood.

Frigidaire FCFI308CAS

So I’m very new to the whole induction thing and got the fcfi308cas induction range and as advertised the range is supposed to stay cool to the touch after removing a pan off the top etc. However, while cooking “hot surface” is lit up and then after cooking, the stovetop stays pretty hot to the touch still even after 30~ ish minutes. Is this normal? I contacted Frigidaire and they sent a technician and he said this is normal? There is no “error code” so there’s nothing else he could do

My question to anyone else with an induction oven or this one specifically: is this normal? Does the stovetop stay hot to the touch after cooking?

Thanks in advance!

Looking for a wine/beverage fridge that is less than 22 inches deep.

All of the beverage fridges I have seen are 22.5. I can go up to 34 high and the width of 13.5.

I know this is a weird size question but I am struggling.

It will be in a cabinet.

Can be wine or beverage center.

If you have any questions let me know.

LG washer/dryer suggestions

I'm shopping for a LG washer/dryer combo. Can anyone tell me what's the difference between these models? I'm in Canada.

  • WM4100HBA & DLEX4200B
  • WM3600HWA & DLE3600W
  • WM3850HVA & DLEX3850V

It seems 4100HBA has the most features, yet for some reason it's the cheapest out of the three here in Canada, which makes no sense. Is there something else the 3xxx does better that warrants the higher price? To be honest I don't need all of the bells and whistles at all (just need quick wash, normal wash, and delicate wash), just want a reliable washer/dryer that won't break in like 3 years.
