    Can Haier really be so cheap?

    Reply# 8 Well I guess that I am a person within the 5 percentile that expects the manufacturer to provide such written documentation and to reference it when the need arises...

    Can Haier really be so cheap?

    Reply# 2 I guess I can consider myself lucky since Whirlpool had included all the necessary documentation one would expect from such a purchase. For what it is worth the oven was a special order item bought from Lowe's, the order was placed in early October. Haier did "splurge" somewhat in...

    Can Haier really be so cheap?

    Just purchased a new GE french-door fridge, model # GNE27JGMWW and found out that Haier does not provide copies of an owner's manual with the appliance. Instead it is the buyers responsibility to visit their online support site and to print the manual themselves, a written copy is not even...

    Tips on locked 1950s Hotpoint door latch that won't open.

    bad memories I shiver when I see these types of refrigerator door latches. As a child the neighborhood kids used to play hide and go seek, my good buddy Eric hid in an abandoned fridge with this latch design. He was found lifeless by his parents a few hours later, I'll never forget that day...

    GE Cafe appliances "Matte White" finish

    Update on this post I've decided to forego the matte white finish and other bells and whistles of the Cafe fridge and opted for a plain GE french door fridge in white. I've taken the advice of a well known YouTuber and have stuck with the basics, when you think of it all fridges are metal...

    Thoughts on LG wash tower.

    Reply# 6 What a coincidence that you should mention delivery companies, I recently ordered a new GE french door fridge which will require all 3 doors to be removed to get it into my kitchen, it's ETA is 12/26. In addition to the $130 they'll be charging for delivery and haul away of the old...

    Whirlpool WTW4816FW3: Bad control board and Lowes warranty issues

    Reply# 1 I have to disagree with your recommendation of the Maytag so-called "Commercial Grade" machine, it uses the vastly inferior suspension rod design as opposed the the TC5's incredibly stout and robust "milk-crate" method of locating the wash drum. Unless, of course one does not mind...

    Whirlpool WTW4816FW3: Bad control board and Lowes warranty issues

    Interesting situation, with a major twist I'm guessing that Lowes has gone with a different underwriter with regards to their extended warranty contract because I had to use the policy many times in the POS Whirlpool french door fridge I bought new almost 8 years ago. The star-crossed...

    Thread Number: 38893 revisited

    This thread from years ago dealt with raising the water level in a Speed Queen front load washing machine, I am wanting to do the same with my SQ top load machine, model number LWN432SP115TWO1 which has a fixed water fill level for both wash and rinse modes. The water level pressure switch...

    Frigidaire FFTW1001PW - Repair vs. a New TL?

    In the end... The point is moot now that you've purchased a front load machine, however the clear choice for a top loader is the Speed Queen TC5. Many people will balk at it's high price, until they've bought (and pushed to the curb) potentially 5 other brand machines in the time the SQ will...

    Which Washer Least Likely To Get Unbalanced?

    Reply# 14 Indeed, when I freshened my S/Q LWN432SP115TWO1 I thought the balance ring was defective because I could hear liquid sloshing within, fortunately I was corrected by others in this forum that it was a normal condition. I was truly impressed in the build quality of the machine, the...

    I really like the look of the new Whirlpool Front Loaders

    Reply# 7 Strange that documentation content should differ between a Whirlpool and Maytag appliance of any sort. They are, after all produced by the Whirlpool Corporation...

    I really like the look of the new Whirlpool Front Loaders

    Curious... I've often wondered what the predicted life expectancy of a front load washer vs. a top loader is. I've very good friends who own an Father/Son (3 sons) excavating business in Alaska, needless to say their work clothing gets very dirty. And yet their circa mid 2000's Maytag front...

    I really like the look of the new Whirlpool Front Loaders

    exception A.J. Madison statement Free shipping to Alaska and Hawaii for appliances would be impossible for this retailer (or anyone else), yet to make a profit, however their website statement of: "Free Nationwide Shipping" implies that neither state is part of the "nation". A more...

    New Fridge Suggestions

    Reply# 14 About the only fridge I was pricing that was more expensive then the stainless steel variant was the GE Cafe CGE29DP4TW2 french door full size unit in which GE touts as a "Matte White" finish, it is $500 more. My search for a white finished fridge with the features I wanted revealed...

    The Great Washing Machine Scam

    Mahalo! Interesting read,Thanks for posting. This is exactly why I jumped on the opportunity to buy a used 2018 Speed Queen LWN432SP115TWO1 top loader for a paltry $75 two years ago, the seller was relocating to Texas and did not want to pay shipping costs for the machine to follow her. Mind...

    New Fridge Suggestions

    Reply# 8 Yes, I remember way back when appliances were primarily sold in white, then so-called "designer" colors such as Avocado, Coppertone and finally stainless steel. All major appliance manufacturers seem to think that consumers are enamored with the stainless steel look, I, for one am...

    New Fridge Suggestions

    Reply# 4 I absolutely abhor any so-called "Stainless Steel" finished appliances for the reason you cited. You may want to inquire with LG about their finger proof S/S finish and how they achieve this claim, I suspect that they apply a clear finish to the surface, just as other manufacturers...

    New Fridge Suggestions

    New fridge I just ordered a new GE GNE27JGMWW after doing much research for french door models, any and all of the Korean brands were out of the question. Because my requirements were specific, GE was the only manufacturer who had what I wanted. My requirements were: White, painted finish...
