I have an over the range Amana AMV11254BAW from c. 2009. Some of the buttons ("5", fan and cooktop light buttons) have failed in the past three weeks. Oven and turntable work/cook fine, as long as I don't need the 5 button. However, now my hood fan and light are inoperative. I like my current MW...

Tried to pay my annual donation and got an error page 'something went wrong'. Is the system out of order?

Not sure how many posters live in Florida. Be safe and good luck.

Today's picture of the day depicts what is probably a 1970s iteration of a GE washer with mini-wash basket. The close up of the control does not show a switch for the mini-wash. Did the user simply set water level to minimum, and the washer did the rest? One sees mini-wash in ads going back to...

I have a 2004 Frigidaire with ice maker. About eight years ago, I had to replace the solenoid intake valve, otherwise flawless performance. I changed the water filter in mid-May, then began to have problems with the ice maker. Now the cubes come out stuck together, with a small bridge of ice...

If so, act now. They are having a 20% off sale if your order is over $200 (code: SAVEMORE, though offer valid at stores also) and 25% off if over $500. This brings the normal price of a $250 Smart Oven (generally never discounted, including Amazon which also sells for $250) down to $199, plus...

I recall a 1970-era jingle about "the meaner, greener, green dot Swirl" and I think it was a short lived laundry detergent. When I heard the jingle at the time, I seem to recall it was a new product that I'd never heard of before...but then again, in my mom's pantry/laundry room, anything other...

I have a 2001 model SHU33 (entry level integrated door; three cycles) DW which has never had any operating glitches or service issues. Still quiet and still gets everything clean. Over the past five years, however, I've had issues with tines breaking off at the tips with consequent rust...

I was explaining to a younger colleague that in the old days, laundry rooms were outfitted with laundry sinks, and that the sink served as the drain for the washer. I told him I recall my parents' '58 GE (in the 60s, I don't remember the 50s) with a drain hose that clamped to the side of the...

My father has a roughly ten year old basic KA DW. He refrained from using it because the controls were different than on the prior GE and, being single, he preferred to hand wash. The KA was used now and then, usually only when his kids were visiting and there would be more cooking and dishes to...

My neighbor is between jobs and his TL Kenmore is shredding the life out of his clothing. I am going to give him my Frigidaire FL pair (Model 2140) and buy a new pair for myself. Specs are as follows: 1. Must be stackable. I have a steel/concrete bollard embedded in my garage slab, required by...

Pardon my ignorance, writing as a veteran gas range owner. My parents have a 1972 Hotpoint version of the GE Americana range, with 30" lower oven, four coil cooktop units, and a smaller upper oven. The other day, they ran out of propane for the grill and tried to broil some chicken in the upper...

On Wednesday, I was checking Amazon for prices on Borax. I'm down to my last box, Target is the only reliable local source and I live twelve miles from the nearest store, and I thought I'd check Amazon. I discovered a service known as "Prime Pantry", which I later learned debuted that same day...

My present passport expires 4 May 2014. I completed the renewal form online, printed/signed it, took photos along with my neighbor (his expires in June), uploaded and then downloaded/printed high res photos at 123passportphotos.com*, and mailed it in with my $110 renewal fee. 1. Does anyone...

I am a satisfied Windows XP user. At home I use XP Pro SP 3 32-bit. Computer is from 2009 (Dell; it was a "downgrade" to XP rather than Win 7), Dual-core Processor, 3 GB RAM (max amt for 32-bit). Machine works perfectly, I have used MS Security Essentials as my antivirus program, and Spybot for...

Was in my local Big Lots store yesterday evening to pick up a few household items (pail, wooden clothes hangers, etc.). I saw the Roma detergent on an end-aisle display. In Southern California, any discount store will have its share of Hispanic customers----although the product line is not 100%...

Some friends of mine own a pair of KitchenAid machines (FL and gas dryer), appear to be re-badged WP/Bauknechts, and they purchased them at a nice close-out price at Costco. This was shortly before KA dropped their residential line of washers. The couple have three kids, now off to college, but...

The diverter valve on the tub faucet was stuck, wouldn't move up/down so no longer could divert water to the shower head above the tub. The faucet manufacturer offers a lifetime warranty, if a part breaks they send you a new one. About ten years ago, the original faucet had the same problem and...

Yeah, my fault, I had some Trident, wrapped it in the wrapper and forget it was in my shirt pocket. Shirt went through the washer and dryer, discovered a dime-sized gob of gum in the pocket. I froze the shirt, then scraped off all the gum, as much as I could, but there is still a pink stain...

I recently bought a Miele S7 upright---base model. I have a ten year old S5 canister that is still going strong. Recently its electric wand broke and I had to replace the wand, to the tune of $115, though one could argue that the expense was well worth it to keep a $900 machine (replacement...
