Ours will run the fan only if it's in auto defrost mode- it cuts off the compressor and puts the fan to high, regardless of settings. Not sure if it will stay on once it's been turned off or not, and I can't check it because it usually only defrosts in the spring and fall when it's cooler in the...

I remember way back in school we were taught fire safety and how to use an extinguisher, but when push comes to shove all that goes out the window... I was frantically trying to pull the trigger, before removing the pin. If you aren't in an emergency situation, it's easy to remember how it's...

Not worth the chance, even my Dad broke out, and he isn't allergic to ANYTHING. We usually use Tide, although there is only a few versions that agree with my skin- Original, Clean Breeze, With bleach, and Stain release. Pretty much any that doesn't have a strong scent, Downy, or Febreze. Most...

The only detergent I've ever used that made our whole family break out and itch! Used it once when they first brought it out. I'm sure it's fine detergent though, if you don't have any detergent allergies! Great price too!

I don't think it was baking soda, the powder has a similar texture but finer, and is bright yellow. Also irritates skin, eyes and nose. And I was coughing up yellow stuff yesterday... Yuck. If I needed to use one again I would, but would definitely try to use water first!

Yeah the yellow powder was from the fire extinguisher, it was super fine and got into everything. Also pretty irritating to the nose.

You're saying you need 40,000 btu of cooling for 2 rooms?? Our house is nearly 70 years old with original insulation as far as I can tell, and it's 1200 sqft per level (main level and finished basement) and we are able to keep it comfortable on even the hottest days (95+ with high humidity) 75...

So we are renting the finished lower level / walk out basement to friends of ours, and all has been going well. Until this week. Tuesday the oven died, parts are on the way for that, and Wednesday the dryer died (29" gas Whirlpool). Well it stopped heating anyway. Diagnosed as bad gas valve...

It's hot here too, forecast was mid 80's and I had 91 in my car today. It doesn't feel that bad today because we don't have a lot of humidity... Yet. That's supposed to come in tomorrow. Saturday's forecast is something like 96 and humid, heat index 105-115. A/C is on and will be for the...

I just did what you're wanting to do, removing body oil residue from sheets. I used liquid Tide, a cup each of Borax and Baking Soda, and a full scoop of OxiClean. Soaked in this, starting with very hot water overnight, then drained and rinsed, followed by a wash with Tide, Baking Soda and Borax...

Yes, when I can. We have one of the umbrella style affairs, although a cheap one. We also have typical Michigan weather, and neighbors that wait until I've just finished hanging clothes to burn their garbage. Sure, the dryer is easier, but you just can't bottle that smell! Love the smell of line...

Miracle Whip = Blegh! Too sweet and texture is like some sort of gel!. I much prefer Mayonnaise of any brand, not too picky. Even store brand "salad dressing" is better than Miracle whip.

Bosch Ascenta SHE3AR72UC. Retails for $499.99 and is an excellent dishwasher. We have had ours for about 6 months and I've grown to love it. Had a love/hate relationship at first due to the odd racking but have gotten used to it. You can pack the machine and everything will come clean. Manual...

Not a horrible dryer, but SLOW. We had the Maytag/Norgetag GAS version for about 5 years, and while it was very reliable, it was noisy and slow. It did eventually dry (yes, I kept the lint filter duct clean, along with the short, solid vent) and it took 1 1/2 hours (+) for a normal load. Nothing...

It can fit one large cookie sheet with the upper rack in, and it doesn't have a tower in the lower rack. Upper rack is easily removed. Silverware basket can be placed in 2 locations in the lower rack, or in the upper rack if you so desire. Full size spray arms for each rack, and both run at the...

We have a Bosch Ascenta SHE3AR72UC and have been extremely happy with it so far. We have had it for about 6 months and it's been great. Excellent cleaning, multiple cycle choices (Heavy, Auto, Normal, Delicate, Express Wash, Half load) along with the Sanitize option, EXTREMELY quiet, can barely...

I recently took in a Maytag Neptune 3000 in on trade, and the previous owner said it ran through the cycle fine, but would not go into the final spin. I tested it and it makes an attempt to balance, but never gets to full speed. It just repeatedly distributes, then gives up and starts over. The...

It does appear to be Neptune specific, at least for the 5500, I know the 3000 uses a different setup, but not sure if that one is specific or not.

I'd be interested in the inlet valve if you're wanting to get rid of it and it doesn't leak. Ours has a leak in the hot side and will partially fill the machine overnight if the faucets aren't turned off.

I have adjustable headrests front and back in my car (2004 Toyota Prius), and I believe they are about 3/4 of the way up in front, completely lowered in back (if the back ones are raised, it obstructs my view out the back window). I don't honestly pay much attention to them. I've had vehicles...
