This may sound unorthodox, but have you tried using liquid dish soap in a washing machine intended for laundry? It is something that I have been experimenting with. I work as a dishwasher at a 55+ country club's restaurant close to my home. In this line of work, my chef coat and aprons...

I've had our GE GFW655SSVWW front-load washer, along with its matching dryer, for 4 months now; my family has been nothing but impressed with the set. Everything we throw in there comes out amazing clean. I'm here to discuss its hallmark feature, the "UltraFresh Vent System." This feature works...

My current dishwasher, a Frigidaire Gallery model FGID2466QF4A, came with the house and is 8-9 years old. Despite having a plastic interior, it cleans dishes well for the most part. However, there is a persistent problem that baffled me for the longest time. A lot of dishes in the bottom rack...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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°...

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...

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...

I learned the hard way that it's NOT a good idea to manually add water to my Frigidaire FFTW1001PW top-load washer, which automatically senses the right water level for a load. About a week ago, I was washing my bed pillows in there, and the water level was too low, so I decided to add more...

Sorry if this question has been frequently asked on this forum, but here's an observation that my family made the other day. My dad, his SO and I have declared that a top-load washer, like our Frigidaire, cleans clothes better than a front-load washer. I think it's due to the fact that...

I found another issue with my washing machine yesterday, which was worthy of its own post. Sometimes, after the rinse cycle and prior to the final spin, the washer will stop draining the water, rapidly flash the "clean" light and periodically do a triple beep, as if the washer has gone off...

I'd like to talk about this troublesome Frigidaire FFTW1001PW top-load washing machine, which came with my new house, built in 2016. While it does a good job of washing clothes, the machine goes off balance quite frequently. When it's thrown off balance, the status lights flash rapidly...

I've had this washer and dryer set for a couple months now; it came with my new house and I'm finally getting around to making a post about it. Right off the bat, I was glad to go back to a good old top-load washer with an agitator, as I honestly feel that this type of washer is more effective...

I've owned this LG WM2650HWA front-load steam washer for nearly 7 years now. My dad purchased it from Home Depot for $900, and it arrived on January 16, 2013, replacing our old 2004 Maytag Atlantis TL washer which had just died on us. Since then, the LG has served us very well; it does a very...

I have an interesting question to ask. Whenever I wash towels in my LG WM2650HWA front-load steam washer, I have a tendency to wash them on the Sanitary cycle. Sometimes, I wash them on the Cotton/Normal cycle, but select the Steam option. Both cycles take about 2 hours to complete, which is...

We've had this dryer for about 14 years now, and this issue just happened today. My dad's girlfriend was doing laundry today, and I noticed this thumping noise coming from the dryer. So I went to investigate it not too long ago, and found out that one of the baffles was loose! We were in a...

I've had this LG front-load steam washer for 4 years. Last night I decided to clean the pump filter, after having not done it in a long time. So I opened the access door and drained the water into a measuring cup. It was filthy! Then I took out the pump filter and found it clogged with hair and...
