What I would suggest is that perhaps the "glaciers" nearest the doors are from the strong vacuum created just after you shut the freezer door (which creates the characteristic "HISSSSSS!"), from the contraction of air inside the freezer.    However, if ice is forming without your assistance...

The Asko/ASEA/Cylinda dishwashers I had a curiosity in back in 2012 (that is, the DM1302/1402 and computerised 1502) were all products of the early 1990s. Interestingly enough, these all featured a plate-warming cycle. The more BOL machines had the Drying Phase selectable on the timer, whereas...

$20,000 Or perhaps a lifetime of your Frequent-Flyer points...    I imagine if you had a Credit Card with the airline's FF program, paying a full-fare return (econony) might get you enough, but I have no clue. 

Its a shame that we have come to a point where emissions testing is too stringent for cars. That said, I doubt it would be hard to the respective government agencies to acquire technical information on the computers of these vehicles, and use it to circumvent this sort of stupidity. If VW can...

Ahhh, Yes. These machines are just about ubiquitous at laundromats across Australia.   We had to use our local laundromat (costing a whopping $4 a wash 5yrs ago, and now $5 a wash. Always cold water) with these machines before our appliances arrived after moving. Yeah, they work VERY well...

I agree, Bob. SQ are behind the curve on this, and could at least consider adding a "heater model" with additional functionality.    While a heater isn't 100% necessary for good cleaning, without one, you are looking at additional time (and water) for additional pre-washes and/or soaks to...

I am reminded of a quote after watching the video above: "A harmful product does not become safe because interests have been vested."    The most curious were the references to Aspartame. A couple of things I want to note: First, the company responsible for the creation of (G.D. Searle) was...

I'm glad to hear that at least one manufacturer in the US has the necessary grey matter needed to comprehend the fact that HFCS is vile, inedible stuff for our food.    We're lucky in that it hasn't gained any momentum (AFAIK) here in Australia. However, friends of mine in the US* have pointed...

While I am a staunch anti-Cold activist (), I have to make an admission:   My diapers/nappies (whatever you call them) were soaked and washed in cold water. Living on a farm with water heated instantly with gas bottles teaches conservatism - namely not using all the gas for laundering...

Short Answer: Yes Long Answer: See Below   There was an ancient one attached to the old solar water heater on our roof - as the pipes running from its position, through the hole and eventually to the "distribution point" near the bathroom aren't secured that well nearest the water heater.   ...

Not only did I hear the Australian contingent get mention...    I also spied a box of Omo. If I'm not mistaken, its a perfume-free formulation?   Great work, everyone. Its lovely to see all the faces behind the regular posters here :)

What a nice house!    Loving the bathrooms and large living spaces this house has to offer. And its also nice to see the kitchen shut off somewhat from the rest of the house. I think its important to keep guests separate to whats going on behind the scenes; whether its a messy kitchen, the...

Ours get a weekly 60º run, sometimes with a Pre-Wash, and sometimes not. It depends on the load size, in most instances.  Triple rinsing, always, as towels really hold onto the suds quite nicely and often cause a water/suds lock in the washer due to an odd software error. (The machine generally...

My opinion on that Heat Pump thread is it isn't off-topic at all. We're talking air-conditioning systems that can heat and people were sharing *their own* experiences with them. Only a couple offered thoughts on the Mr.Slim themselves. Would you rather 1 reply to the thread or a few with an...

Note on the DishDrawer Capacity falls at about 50-60% percent of a traditional dishwasher. This is per another member with a similar machine, but also our resident "Bob" (Appnut) from a thread I posted a long time ago.    The quoted capacity is 6 or 8 place settings. Cannot recall exactly...

I agree the 787 is an interesting and advanced aircraft for our times. Although it seems Airbus erred (perhaps rightly?) on the side of caution, and kept more traditional systems in place, and avoided a lot of the Boeing's teething issues.    One major problem on the 787 and its composite...

Thanks for the in-depth posting on the etching process, Barry.    I have to agree we often do have bias towards the machines that have worked best for us, personally.    In regards to you finding a mint Jenn Aire machine, I recall you found that Digital model a couple of years back. I found...

That "blip" in the power is a normal occurrence.    If my research serves correct, the only aircraft without this "blip" is the MD-90 (mostly used by Delta). It uses a unique system (VSCF, Variable Speed Constant Frequency) generator drive, with some sort of digital inverter system. However it...

Detergent Losses I think newer machines do have some technology to alleviate such an issue.    For example, our Miele first flushes the glass door with the spray nozzle, before dispensing first the Pre-Wash, then proceeding to the Main-Wash dispenser (on a typical cycle with no prewash...

Thanks Robert for getting this sorted.    First thing I thought when the message appeared was: "Does my computer have too many connections to the site already? What could I possibly be downloading from there???"   And I thought I was a computer "nerd." Hmmmm. Might have to rethink that...
