I checked the one at the inlet valve, and it had some sediment on it, but that didn't fix the issue. I then pulled the hose from the washer side and found a second filter caked with mud. A paper towel and some Q tips later, and hot water flows again for me!

Does the above SQ have a filter for incoming hot water that can get clogged? If so, where is it (Hopefully I could get to it by just taking off the house connection and clean it at the front of the hose)...

I personally have really liked the Bosh 800 series dishwasher I got. The V shaped 3rd rack is a revelation and really helps in loading lots more stuff in. Which is important because of the 2hr 9 min cycle time. Not just for entertaining, we also process lots of veggies we grow ourselves, and...

@cfz2882 So we had this happen once before when we had the fridge full of stuff - specifically 2 large pizza boxes on the top shelf. Removed them and bam, worked. So initially after throwing out all the spoiled stuff I waited 24 hrs (settings verified to be the same, no switch knocked by food)...

Well, my 17 yr old GE fridge finally seems to have taken a dump. Or at least it won't cool the fridge below 42 degrees mostly empty, when full it spoiled a lot of food - hitting 58 degrees before we noticed. Oddly enough, the freezer part is fine. Anyway, we ended up with 2 more freezers, a...

After some more research, the oven actually sounds a lot like a much bigger version of my countertop NuWave which is pretty enticing. I'm also looking at the slightly fancier HGIP054UC which includes a more powerful center burner and a meat probe that controls the oven when it reaches a set...

No OS is safe unless you know what you're doing, and even then there's plenty of bugs. Heck, the Intel hardware is bugged - look up AMT at some point. That said, there's a few differences. Google Android and Windows (10 anyway) are basically designed to spy on you and report directly to the...

So I posted some months ago about perhaps replacing my 18 year old GE range that has started occasionally smelling of propane, that may have a leaking valve that would cost $350 or more to fix. At the time I was leaning towards another on sale GE from Lowes. Well, a couple things happened. 1 -...

One more question - why do I want the broiler in the oven? All the stoves I've ever had had the broiler in the door under the oven.

So it sounds like Premier is a bust, and looking online it didn't get good reviews really either. In the GE vs Whirlpool at lowes, I wonder if anyone knows some details: JGBS66REKSS was the model I was looking at from GE. I can't really see what I'm getting in the JGB700EEJES as recommended...

So my 17 yr old GE that came with the place now has a slow propane leak, and the repair person suggested that it's not really worth repairing. Given that, I'm looking at new propane ranges at 30" size. I'm not really sure if a new GE on sale from Lowes is the right answer or not. They do have a...

BigSkinny wallets are pretty nice if you can get them at a good price --- if you can get them at all, they seem to go out of stock a bit. As to Chinese knock offs, check out aliexpress - it might take a month, but if you've got the app on your phone, the prices plus the random mobile only...

Personally I've had very good luck with the Bosch, as has everyone I know who's gotten one. Granted, I wouldn't go below the 500 series, and since I upgraded to the 800 series a while ago after some rodents decided to eat the 500 series, I've been very happy. It cleans very very well, and the...

Kuhn Rikon 5L which I rarely use, a Kuhn Rikon family cooker 12L which I use most of the time for pressure cooking and a 2.5L pressure frying pan that came with the 5L that I never use. I didn't really understand what I'd use when I bought the first small set, and now would pretty much only use...

There's no good choice IMHO for smartphones. Android lets you do a lot more and can be cheaper, but you pay in lack of patching, and google spying on everything unless you re-flash the OS and don't run most apps as you can't then use the Play Store (well you can, but now you may have voided the...
