    How Much REFRIGERATOR Does a Home Need

    Refrigerator We just moved into a home with an 18 cu ft. Samsung french door counter depth fridge and we hate it. There is little to no storage space in the doors. No water dispenser. Believe it or not, the ice maker doesn't work either. Shocker. I looked to see what would fit, and a standard...

    New Bosch 800 series has adjutable zones

    Uhh.. Isn't that the purpose of Extra Scrub? Seemingly it adds 15 minutes of wash time and potentially higher temperature and spray pressure to the bottom rack. However, given the new spray arm, certainly it will do the same, but does it stop at the given 'zone' with higher soil level for...

    After driving the same car for 16 years, I bought a new one!

    Camry Hybrid I have mine still and it is 8 years old. Not quite as good as new, but still is a great car. People are always impressed while driving it. However, the same bug bit me. I ended up purchasing a new 23 4Runner Off Road Premium. Life is too short not to drive something you thoroughly...

    GE profle dishwasher serviced, now louder

    Restrictor removal This is what I recommend as well if the water level is low. However, make sure your float switch is working correctly as well. That would be an easier fix. The float switch will stop the machine from overflowing when you remove the fill restrictor.

    Took everyone's sound proofing advice

    Sound Deadening Did this to my Duet dryer with some Amazon sound deadener and some sound absorbing material. It took it from sounding like a MOL product to sounding as solid and refined as a machine built in the 60s. Did the same treatment to the KUDS25. It was quite a bit quieter, though you...

    Smelly Whirlpool top loader

    Citric Acid I highly recommend running 1 cup of Citric Acid on either a clean washer cycle or the longest wash cycle with hot water(preferably Sanitize). You will be amazed at how much it does. People claim that OxiClean, dishwasher tablets, baking soda, vinegar, and many other products work...

    Maytag He front loader question.

    Clean Washer cycle She may be using a product on that cycle that is too high sudsing. My old Duet would do it slightly. If there is a lot of detergent build-up, it will likely do it as well. She should try to use Citric Acid while running that cycle.

    "bad"automotive engines 2000 and newer...

    Bad Engines The GM EcoTec 2.4. Absolute trash. The post 2008 GM 5.3 V8s with AFM, and all the post 2014 5.3 and 6.2 V8s. Loads of issues. The GM High Feature V6 of all years. The newer ones are still yet to be proven. The GM EcoTec 1.4T. Honestly, any Hyundai/Kia direct injected 4 cylinder...

    Kitchenaid KDPM604KPS0 autopsy

    appnut How did you find out that Auto and Sani rinse uses a higher spray pressure? I noticed on mine that Heavy seems to run both spray arms at the same time and doesn't wash nearly as long as Auto.

    GE Profile Combo Washser/Dryer at KBIS 2023

    Test Attached below will be some of the test results from the same guys. Seems halfway decent. This machine needs a built in heating element for wash water and a warm rinse option. Towels would likely dry quite a bit quicker.

    Kitchenaid KDPM604KPS0 autopsy

    KitchenAid Experiences like this make me want to steer clear of the KA/Whirlpool brands as a whole. It is exactly why I purchased my Bosch over a KA last time. However, I still want to support KA and keep the family heritage going. I have been looking at the KDTE204 to potentially purchase once...

    Automatic Dry Cycles

    Automatic Dryer cycles Our Duet dryer does a pretty good job. The Normal cycle tends to overdry ever so slightly. The Casual cycle underdries. Heavy Duty roasts things. However, the Heavy Duty and Normal cycle refuses to dry fleece blankets and shuts off within 3-4 minutes. The bigger issue...

    HE Toploader Water Usage

    Logixx Wow! I doubt my Duet used much more than 20 gallons on any given cycle, except Bulky with extra rinses. I would imagine that 16-18 gallons would be a good guess for a full load. In the LG/Kenmore FL we have, a Normal cycle probably is pushing 24 with the water level raised slightly.

    War on appliances

    Restrictions The one thing here that has not been taken into consideration is that the 3.3 gallons and under is for the Normal cycle with no soil. As long as the soil sensor is able to detect anything, the machine should add another fill for prewash, rinses, etc. As DADoES said, the main wash...

    Everything You Remember And Miss About ... Sears

    Demos I remember all the Kenmore machines being set up and having demos or windows for you to see some of the 'action'. I explicitly remember the HE3T and Calypso being shown off. I feel like they had a much larger selection of machines on display as well. It seemed like every model was shown...

    Germany Shutting last three nuclear power plants

    Nuclear I'm not sure this is the best idea either. Nuclear power has become significantly safer with computer controls and technological advancements. The nuclear waste is another story, though. Wind power is proving to be more of an issue than expected, and not to mention that there seems to...

    question about clean washer with afresh cycle

    Clean Washer cycle On the Maytag we are using, it uses a longer stroke. So the turbulence in the drum is stronger, however, the holes in the tub are so small that I am not sure it really matters. This cycle on this machine does NOT fill with tap hot water. It alternates between hot and cold...

    Suggestions on buying a new front load washer and dryer

    LG I highly recommend an LG set! My grandparents replaced theirs after 13 years because of a leaky cold water inlet valve. It could have easily and cheaply been fixed, however they decided against it. No other issues at all. We have an LG built Kenmore Elite that has been flawless as well...

    question about clean washer with afresh cycle

    Citric acid I highly recommend citric acid. 1 cup should do. The clean washer cycle on your machine will likey work the best.
