    Do you use heated dry on your dishwasher?

    This is a question that has been floating around in my head for quite a while now. I ask this because of potential energy saving concerns. Personally, I've been an advocate of heated dry for as long as I can remember. It significantly cuts down on the time I need to towel-dry the clean dishes...

    To Rinse or Not Rinse - Dishwasher Story

    My take Pre-rinsing is done 50/50 in my current household. I have a Frigidaire Gallery dishwasher, model # FGID2466QF4A; it came with the house and has features such as an OrbitClean spray arm and Sahara Dry. This dishwasher works well for the most part; however there are certain dishes that...

    GE GFW655SSV0WW Front-Load Washer & Matching Dryer

    A couple days ago I washed a huge load of my darks and colors; it consisted of T-shirts, sweatpants and underwear, along with my chef coat and aprons from work (I am a dishwasher at a private restaurant set within a country club). This load filled the drum about 3/4 of the way. I used a couple...

    GE GFW655SSV0WW Front-Load Washer & Matching Dryer

    Removing the drawer I decided to remove the dispenser drawer and set it on top of the washer to let the area dry. Only problem is, my laundry room doesn't have a sink, so I had to haul the entire drawer over to my bathtub to dump out the residual water. While doing so, I noticed that a tiny...

    GE GFW655SSV0WW Front-Load Washer & Matching Dryer

    DADoES I don't want some random stranger online to use my serial number(s) for making false warranty claims, such as ordering free replacement parts.

    GE GFW655SSV0WW Front-Load Washer & Matching Dryer

    John The bird was indeed removed from the vent. It was stuck in the old dryer hose, which Home Depot took with them upon hauling away the Frigidaire. I saw one of its feathers on the floor beneath the dryer. No, these machines were not scrapped, they were BRAND NEW. I blacked out the serial...

    GE GFW655SSV0WW Front-Load Washer & Matching Dryer

    This is our brand-new washer and dryer set; it replaced a low-end 8-year-old Frigidaire set that came with the house. That top-load washer was not the best; its long cycle times (1 to 1.5 hours), coupled with a lack of turnover, resulted in mediocre wash performance. And, to add insult to...

    Frigidaire FFTW1001PW - Repair vs. a New TL?

    panasonicvac Yes, I'm also curious about the water usage of the new GE. My old LG used a very minimal amount of water during a Cotton/Normal cycle; the rinse water level was lower than that of the main wash level, which led to insufficient rinsing of our clothes, not to mention PODS that...

    Frigidaire FFTW1001PW - Repair vs. a New TL?

    In the end... My dad has come to a conclusion: we are replacing the Frigidaire with a brand new machine. Today he ordered a... FRONT-LOADER. You heard that right! After extensive research, my dad found out why FLs are so popular: their tumbling wash action provides superior cleaning results...

    Frigidaire FFTW1001PW - Repair vs. a New TL?

    Our Frigidaire top-loader is having issues again. About a month or two ago, I noticed that the washer was leaking a tiny amount of water onto the upstairs laundry room floor, mostly beneath the machine. When that happened, I thought nothing of it, considering that my dad had screwed the drain...

    Samsung Bespoke 4-Door Flex Refrigerator (RF29DB960012)

    I don't normally talk about refrigerators, but this one just came in today and it's quite different than any other fridge I've owned. Up until today, my family had been using a Frigidaire Gallery stainless steel French door refrigerator (FGHF2366PFAA), which was manufactured in 2016 and came...

    Frigidaire TL leaving white residue on darks (FFTW1001PW)

    Launderess No, I have not tried diluting the detergent with water before pouring it in. I may just have to do that in the future. That vintage KitchenAid really is something. The guy is right, that's how a TL washer should wash. Personally, I don't mind computerized appliances, but I enjoyed...

    Frigidaire TL leaving white residue on darks (FFTW1001PW)

    I've been having this ongoing issue with my newer Frigidaire top-loader (FFTW1001PW). It's around 8 years old and does a good job washing for the most part, but this is something that I just can't figure out. The machine leaves behind a white, linty residue on many dark clothes that are washed...

    Are laundry sanitizers worth it?

    Ultimately I decided to buy some Lysol Laundry Sanitizer from Safeway earlier this week. So I put it to the test with a large load of towels. First, I temporarily turned off the cold water valve behind the washer. This allowed for the wash water to be much hotter than normal. My washer's...

    Are laundry sanitizers worth it?

    Okay... I'm still divisive on whether or not I should buy this product. My tankless water heater maxes out at 120F, so I might do the trick that bradfordwhite suggested (turning off the cold water valve during the initial fill). However, I would have to keep a close ear on the machine and...

    Are laundry sanitizers worth it?

    Here's a bit of a conundrum: My dad and stepmom have both tested positive for COVID after a cross-country vacation. As a result, my hand towels are becoming single-use to prevent the spread of the virus. And my Frigidaire TL washer, even when set to "hot," doesn't get hot enough (around 100°...

    Frigidaire Dryer - Lint Build-up Under Filter

    The process So I craned my head inside the dryer and looked at the front of the grille. Sure enough, there were a couple of screws holding it in place. So I unscrewed both of them with a Phillips screwdriver and the grille came right off. There was a LOT of lint packed in the dryer, in addition...

    Frigidaire Dryer - Lint Build-up Under Filter

    My Frigidaire dryer, model FFRE1001PW0, still works great. However, I'm seeing quite a bit of lint build-up underneath the lint filter, which I can't reach with my crevice tool on my vacuum (Dyson DC17). What would be the best method of reaching down there to get all that lint removed? It's...

    New Drain Hose for Frigidaire FFTW1001PW Washer

    Yes This new hose now reduces the OOB issues. I also found out that the short hose, which connects the tub to the pump, was kinked, so that's why the washer was draining a lot slower than usual. But now that the drain pump is screwed back onto the washer, the water is draining properly. Last...

    New Drain Hose for Frigidaire FFTW1001PW Washer

    Following up on the leaking issues with my Frigidaire washing machine, my dad finally fixed it yesterday. Over the past few weeks, we had tried a couple of "universal" drain hoses. One was a gray hose from Amazon, and the end which connects to the washer's drain pump was too small, and thus...
