And the verdict is.... I love our local repair guy. Not only is he the only one in town, but he just took a course at Whirlpool, so I know he's up to date. The reservoir did freeze and crack, so, that's what requires replacement. As Maytagbear wrote, the ambient temperature must be around...

I'll try to be brief. We just bought a new GE Monogram fridge. After suffering from multiple Kenmores (about 5 in 7 years replaced under warranty) I switched brands. The fridge is installed at our farm house. Okay, so we only occupy the farm house about 3 days a week, and during the time...

We recently rented a house in Savannah Georgia, and the fridge was a side by side Amana with water and ice, and I suspect was 8 - 10 years old. I was quite impressed - when there was a call to chill the fridge or freezer, the compressor came on first, then the fans in the compartments. When...

I was just wondering which is more energy efficient when drying clothes: drying on higher heat for a shorter amount of time, or lower heat, with a longer amount of time?

Hey all, I would appreciate some help! Before I begin, let me just preface this request with what has been the MOST expensive summer of my life to date. We own a 100 acre farm in rural Ontario, as well as a loft in downtown Toronto. I decided to retire in March 2010, and my partner is...

We rented a house in Savannah Georgia, and the dishwasher was a Fridgidaire. I didn't note the model number, but it had a dial which allowed you to select the program (normal, rinse only etc.) which did not advance during the program, and 3 soft buttons for hi-temp wash, heat dry, and...

Toggleswitch... Sorry if I was vague/unclear, I tend to be a bit too succinct. My goal is to take the humidity down to about 45%. The first reason is that we have 2, 10 ft x 10 ft windows which in the winter, collect so much condensate, that ice forms on the inside causing damage to the frame...

Next question... Okay, so, we also have a loft which has it's own HVAC unit located upstairs in a closet. There is no direct connection (ductwork) connecting it to the cold air returns: The cold air return ductwork is just brought in to the closet open ended, with the filter end of the hvac...

I just did a complete, major house clean, and was freaked out by the amount of dust in the house, (as I clean the house thoroughly each week) not to mention the shmutz that came out of the carpets through steam cleaning. My question is: does leaving the hvac fan on constantly as opposed to...

I'm pretty much screwed No matter what I do here, it's not going to turn out well. Let's suppose she continues seeing this married guy. As she's an insecure person at best, there will always be doubt as to his faithfullness with her. I would go mental hearing about how 5 minutes in his day...

Funny you mention his wife Yogitunes, I was at one point (I think last year) contemplating sending his wife an email. What stopped me was: 1) It would be hurtful to her, and I don't want to hurt anyone. 2) On some level, I figure she must know. 3) Who am I to send his wife anything? So, I...

Thanks Panthera and Toggleswitch2. Panthera, you're correct, and I've expressed your sentiments several times during our numerous conversations... Toggleswitch2, I understand what you're saying, and have taken that approach. Often I say: "you know what you have to do" "follow your instincts"...

After reading through some of the posts here, I appreciate the vast differences in opinion about topics, and could use some advice. My closest friend, who I've know since high school some (ugggh) 25 years, is a divorcee with 3 kids. She has been seeing a married guy for over 2 years, which in...

I'll save the Tide Cold Water for appropriate fabrics. I am a complete germophobe, and, thanks to Laundress, I did google bedbugs, and they are everywhere. As a result, I washed almost everything in my house yesterday --- thanks, I was looking for something to do. I always have the...

Raw food Funny you mention that. After the melamine found in commercial dog food a few years ago, the breeder we got our puppy from had her on a raw food diet from the beginning, which I have maintained. So, yes, at least every 3 weeks there are raw meat 'juice' on my kitchen towels, not to...

I was wondering what people think of cold water washing? I tried Tide Cold Water, and everything appears clean. Having said that, I thought, should I be using this for towels, bed clothes etc. typical items I would switch to the hot water setting. Are the enzymes in the detergent able to kill...

I have a 5 year old KitchenAid KUDS01 dishwasher, and just recently, the door started squeeking when opening/closing. Is there a simple fix for this? As my username suggests, I'm a bit lazy, and don't feel like disassembling/reassembling very many parts. thx

Thanks, I think! thanks for noticing the age thing, i changed the profile to 1967. although, maybe I should have kept it, and said I made a typo to shave some years off...

I was a computer programmer, then had a software company which I sold, now I'm retired at 42, and volunteer at an organization which helps protect built heritage properties
