After 5 1/2 years of pretty reliable service, our ca. 2018 GE FL set has finally reached the end of its out-of-warranty road.  The washer in particular is making the very loud creaking / groaning / howling "bearing failure" sound whenever it tumbles and spins, occasionally just gives up on...

A few questions about Ultra Plus: - I've heard rumblings that the formulas for Sears Ultra Plus varieties might have changed and are now less-dissolvable / more "gritty". Has anyone seen this recently? Or is this just some folks complaining who don't know what they are doing? - I know all...

Guys, I'm going to be buying a new W/D set in the next week or so so I need to either sell or dispose of my current set, a Bosch Nexxt 500-series pair (platinum color), including attached short pedestals. The washer is in great working condition, mold free and has a built-in heater that'll...

Seems like several manufacturers are coming out with new models later this year and early next. Frigidaire has their new (sort of) BOL models coming out soon, Fisher and Paykel has the CleanSmart coming out sometime soon (see pic attached), and according to the FD thread GE has some new models...

Well I managed to disassemble the back of my Nexxt dryer and reset the high-temp switch, which brought it back to complete working order...for about 2 days. Now I think it is starting to develop "Dryer Dementia" since it refuses to heat about every 3rd load, but works perfectly the rest of the...

Well, got back from vacation only to find that our Bosch Nexxt dryer isn't heating on any cycle (but tumbles/blows and shows no faults on the display)! The general consensus according to Google seems to be to take off the back panel via the 900 screws holding it on and try to reset the...

Does anyone have any personal experience with the North American Bosch Axxis washers and dryers? The "24460" version washer, for instance, seems to have been out (with minor changes) for some time, yet on many of the sites I check the reviews (more like one-paragraph blurbs) seem remarkably...

Apparently that's what they used to clean up the conflagration that resulted from the jet fuel leak after the fiery crash under caution. (Link is on USA Today)...

OK, so Tide is running a promotion to win this new W&D set from Haier. Is it just me or do they sort of strongly resemble the Bosch Nexxt architecture machines (perhaps Vision ones?) I know Bosch is exiting the full-sized W&D business - could Haier have picked up the IP and designs to get a...

Everyone, (Hope I'm not violating any Forum rules here - apologies in advance if I am...) Selling my stash of Persil - I have a brand new unopened box of Megaperls Color (~$44 retail), new unopened bottle of Color Gel (~$20 retail) and an opened, 3/4++ box of Megaperls Universal (same size box...

This is a follow-up to my Tide w/ Actilift question thread from a while back. I decided that (for now) Actilift didn't sound like such a swell idea (stay-in coating?) so I got some Tide Coldwater Free HE to try based on the excellent reviews of regular Tide Coldwater. Not the easiest product...

Any opinions on Tide w/ Actilift, HE version? Is the Original Scent overpowering or not bad these days?

So my wife called and said "are you sitting down?", which is never a good sign. Turns out it wasn't as dire as it sounded -- everyone is fine but our standard 30" smooth top range is on its last legs, just in time for Christmas! She noticed that it had taken almost an hour just to get to 340F...

I was at The Factory @ Franklin today for a kids birthday party, and I thought I'd share a few pictures of some of the vintage stoves they used to make there.

Something from the folks at Method cleaners. I about fell out of my chair when when I watched this... the voice work is just great!

Wonder if there is going to be a recall or retrofit for this? Poor Matag! Excerpt: "The Times suggests that preliminary experiments have confirmed that different brands of cell phones can activate multiple models of Maytag ovens. And, as the story notes, the oven "prefers high" and activates...

Does anyone know why some plastic items (usually containers and not drinkware) come out of the dishwasher with white etched and damaged spots? Is it too much / too little detergent or heat, or just bad kharma?

Finally got some Sears Ultra Plus to try -- the regular orange box kind -- and I have to say that I'm.... underwhelmed. Perhaps compared to other widely-available commercial detergents it is quite a performer but I've been using Charlie's and in comparison to that its really not hugely better or...
