Solution Just clean the door glass and the seal very thoroughly. A single hair can cause it to leak. Despite that if you wipe the gasket and door with a damp cloth after every use it will never leak. I love mine! Cleanest clothes I’ve ever had. And with a few extra rinses, the best-rinsed...

Thanks! Oh, I’m not going to attempt this repair myself. It’s a fantastic washer. Cleanest clothes I’ve ever had. The lack of a heater is no issue for me. When I do a hot load I want to stay hot, I just set it to do a prewash which only takes a few extra minutes.

What is involved in replacing SQ FL struts? My machine, 5 or 6 years old, has a very loud strut in need of replacement. I believe this problem is my fault, and that I caused it by under loading the machine with loads of heavier items when it was new. I’ve been putting off repair due to COVID...

Agree with Tomturbomatic The burners are not sealed, so you will not have any problem with the flames wanting to spread too much and go up the sides of the pot. However, those burners are very weak. I’d want two high speed burners. Some of the new, residential, non-restaurant style gas...

Not a good range We had a similar Tappan when I was a kid. Gorgeous. Heavy as a tank. Oven was stainless steel inside. Dedicated broiler on the left. Glass windows in both doors. Temp probe for the oven with ability to set desired roast temp. Automatic burner rear right. None of those...

OMG Next time you don’t start cooking corned beef until the guests arrive 😳 use a pressure cooker.

There is no escaping kitchen disasters. No escaping them. They have dramatically decreased in frequency now that I’m almost 60, but they still occur sometimes — and sometimes despite doing every step perfectly, and the exact same way as at other previous times of success. Sometimes it’s...

Here you go

Thanks all For taking time to reply!

Thank you HobartHero, I knew it is available at Amazon, albeit for scalped prices of $12 per box. But — THANK YOU—your response put it in perspective for me. And I took out less than a minute to buy a pack of two boxes. Done. I’ll be set for two years. You made me realize: so what if...

When I was growing up, my family always filled both dishwasher detergent cups, and as time went by our dishes faded until all colors were gone and then they became so dull that using eating utensils was like scratching your fingernails on a blackboard. Ugh!!! I simply cannot stand dulled...

All so interesting! Including thomasortega’s response, which is a riot.

Just curious Robert, when did you move? Have you scaled down your collection or increased it?

A range simply can’t get any cooler than that! Thanks for all the responses and the great conversation!

I should add I don’t wish to sound as if I am saying that the SQ FL is the be all end all only machine to buy. I do like mine and I would buy another but like all things, they are not perfect machines. They can rarely fail to abort an unbalanced load, e.g. Anyway the point here is that...

SQ front loader prewash Has a prewash and I use it all the time. Especially for loads of tidy whities. For two reasons. First, the detergent never makes any suds in the prewash because antiperspirant residue in T shirts poses a challenge. The pre wash takes care of that. Second, it...

Thanks For all the responses. I think the 40” units look SO cool. Also I meant to ask if there was a broiler in both the large and small ovens.

not become a mainstream design? Seems like such a perfect idea to have the oven at eye level. My hypotheses for failure of the design concept are: People didn’t like the oven heat in their face when cooking The stovetop would get damaged if food was dropped from the oven Personal injuries...

Something else to consider Like everyone else I prefer gas because it is cheaper, and in addition a gas WH is faster and a gas furnace is more comfortable as its exiting heated air is warmer than an electric furnace’s. Also, if the fan is not set on continuous run, an electric furnace will...
