New washing machines suck ass

We bought a ge washer a few years back and ive hated the thing since we bought it. I can't even do a load of laundry without haveing to play Jenga in the thing or it bounces off itself the whole time and most the time stops itself mid cycle. All the service manual stuff point at wrongfully operation of the consumer when in reality these things are just built like complete shit. The worst thing is we paid a lot of money for this thing to not even be able to complete a full load of laundry . I hate corporate America and it's stupid energy efficient crap rant over

Whirlpool microwave light

I have a whirlpool microwave model umv1160cs-6 and I’ve used the same replacement bulbs for the stove light for a long time but got tired of replacing them so often I bought a LED bulb thinking it would last longer. The LED would not turn off. Did some research and found out LEDs don’t talk to whirlpool so it can’t function it off. I swapped it out back to the normal bulb and the light still won’t turn off. It’s permanently stuck on. I’ve done some digging and people say the control board is shorted now. I was wondering aside from replacing the control board is there a fix anyone knows of? It’s the only thing not working, everything else functions fine.

New kitchen appliances

A tree fell on my kitchen during Hurricane Helene so I’m getting a new kitchen. We are getting ready to start the remodeling process so if you could get all new appliances (fridge, electric stove, dishwasher, microwave) what brand would you get? TIA

Maytag gas dryer with short?

We have a Maytag Bravo MCT washer and gas dryer combo purchased new a few years ago. A few days ago the gas dryer sparked and flipped the 20 amp breaker. After unplugging the power cord plug was burned on the round ground pin. And the receptacle also had some char. I did test the receptacle and it tested OK.

I decided to replace the receptacle with another commercial grade one. I also replaced the dryer power cord with a factory OEM one. Finished and new outlet tested OK. Plugged dryer in and immediately flips breaker. I am not turning dryer on just plugging in flips the breaker. We have been using this for several years.

Washer works fine.

Replacement for GE above range microwave model no. JVM1410BC001

Hi everyone, My microwave stopped heating last night despite many attempts to get my dinner cooked. I researched repairs may cost between $80-$150 depending on the issue whereas a replacement would probably be about $250. I’ve decided since the microwave is over a decade old to just replace it. I’d like to stay with GE and need it in black. Can anyone recommend the proper replacement so the sizing is the same? I’d hate to order it on Amazon and find out it’s the wrong size. Thank you all for your help! 🙏🏻

Blowing on gas dryer igniter to get flame

Gas Maytag dryer. I just replaced the coils. A few weeks ago I noticed the drying cycle took to long. Also checked the venting. All clear

Struggling to ignite. Usually by blowing on it sometimes gets it to go. Wondering if it’s the igniter or the gas valve now? Machine is 20 years old.

Hard to tell but the center of the igniter seems to get hot but not the outsides. Don’t now if that’s normal

Looking at an all in one washer dryer. Question on the door?

I have a tight room for laundry and need the door to open left to right (handle on my left and hinge on my right). The 3 big ones, LG, GE and Samsung, all ship with right to left. Can any of these be changed.

Stack able dryers on the Fritz and trying to plan ahead.

As always thanks ahead of time.

Need help troubleshooting Frigidaire Ice Maker

Bought a Frigidaire French Door/bottom freezer refrigerator with upper icemaker (model FRFS2823AS) two years ago, has been great since until a week ago, when the icemaker stopped working. The water dispenser still works, and it seems cold enough in the ice maker compartment, but it just doesn't make ice.

I figured out how to put it in diagnostic mode and was able to test both the icemaker water fill (test 82) and twist tray harvest (test 50) functions. Also cycled through the various temp sensors and they all seemed fine. Also tried cycling the icemaker on and off.

Any other ideas on what could be wrong or other diagnostics to run?

Thermal fuses

I just changed my thermal fuses on my maytag maxima dryer. But I couldn't unscrew the old fuses due to where it's at. I put the wires on the new fuses and let them hang freely. Is there any danger by doing this?

How to remove scratches from washer?

Accidentally included a sink drain stopper in our most recent load which ended up scratching the bottom of our Samsung WA54CG7550. Is there a risk of rust now after repeated cycles? Is there any way to buff the scratches out?

Got an LG washer, I don't see a way to reduce the cycle time under normal setting

A cycle takes 90 minutes which is a lot of time from our older samsung washer that was 45 minutes

The samsung one washed our clothes perfectly fine in that time so an extra 45 minutes seems like a waste

Is there a way to reduce it or do I just have to pick a different setting?

Washer fills then drains

Washer has been acting up the last couple of days. It is a year and a few months old so just out of warranty. It will fill, act like it tries to spin, then drains (what you are seeing here). I have no clue what to do. I also JUST fixed three months of dryer issues and so this is exhausting to say the least. Hose is fine, nothing is clogged. Maybe it’s unbalanced? But it looks balanced to me.

White plastic thing found in Bosch dishwasher filter

I pulled my filter to clean it for the first time on a Bosch 500 and I found this inside the filter. Just loose hanging out in the top part of the filter like it could have fallen out of the dishwasher somewhere. Anybody know what this is?

Brand new lg front loader

Being replaced but I'm tempted to cancel the replacement. Brand new lg front loader I've had it 72 hours. Home depot has a return policy where they will return exchange if you report by the 48 which i did. Would you replace with the same or just pass altogether. It shakes the whole house at 8 minutes loud as all can be. Completely levels both pieces. Originally the complaint was how loud it was now it's the door.

Are they all junk?

NEED HELP ASAP

I have a gas oven, I used it at around 11 am this morning to bake brownies it was on for for like an hour, and i’m positive the flames inside the oven where blue when I used it.

At around 3:30 pm today my mum used the oven to cook my brother a pizza, we noticed that the base of the flames where blue and the rest was orange and rather large (she had it on the highest setting) it’s never looked like that before. I told her to turn it off and open the kitchen window, she kept it on for 25 minutes.

I know there is a risk of carbon monoxide when the flames are orange, and now my mum is very stressed out, I ask her to phone my grandad or a gas engineer for help and she won’t, she’s decided to clean the oven instead. Please help

Use my Best Buy Total or Costco for Dishwasher?

Well just abt the last appliance Ive had to replace in the home I bought a year ago is the dishwasher. Thankfully I cashed in a little bit on that with the included home warranty and have a credit I can use towards it. Unfortunately it happened at Christmas right after I was fiscally irresponsible and took my daughter to see Taylor Swift to heal her broken heart- but I digress…

AnyWHO- I already have the Total plan. Since I had to buy several appliances at once last year, it seemed like a prime opp to try out. Granted its changes are not the dream they were previously when my sister sold me on it- but as far as big box goes, I’ll say its not too shabby. I had to send back a couple of refrigerators (Kitchen Aid) that had flaws but the process was quite easy. Installers were a mix- one crew was so high I was worried I might fail a random drug screening LOL and others seemed very professional and knowledgeable. It had been my plan to continue making appliance purchases through them to keep everything streamlined. But apparently the week before Christmas is the worst time to NEED a dishwasher STAT. Some models Im only finding on Costco, others on BB.

Would it be foolish to mess it all up now and go with Costco- given the mixed installation experiences people tend to have? Given its a dishwasher- the potential for service is high for years to come and unsure which one will be easier. Potentially expensive considering Im looking at Kitchen Aid 604/804 and Bosch 500/800 or they have a seemingly good deal on a Benchmark but it appears their version may not have as many adjustable tines. A service guy who praised Bosch said to stay away from Zeolite because he has seen a lot of leaking- but I want DRY and I cant seem to trust the 500. KA would match the fridge and seems cool layout but I feel like I may regret it with prices so close.

And so we are back- either way if you already had the BB Total would you still stray with Costco?
