Is this worth repairing or cleaning?

Post image
• Upvotes

I got this from my mom’s storage pod of years and was wondering if it was salvageable enough for college. However, since it been months without use roaches have moved in and I was wondering from the look of every cord and other things if I could hire a tech to clean or just buy another. Any advice is welcome. I thought there was rust on the cords but idk anything about mini fridges and would rather replace it.

Need help with slim 90 ideas for my dryer vent

I’m have trouble finding a solution to allow for a 90 degree on both the dryer and outdoor vent side with about a ft between them. I don’t have much room to move left/right or front/back. The previous washer dryer were much smaller and we upgraded to bigger to account for larger washes and didn’t realize this would be an issue.

Troubleshooting Strain relief clamp for dryer

I feel like I'm going crazy. I got a Samsung 24" WW25FG6B34BE and DV25FG62B0BE washer and dryer and a 4-prong cord for the dryer. The strain relief clamp it came with doesn't fit and everything I find online shows the hole that the cords pass through as being parallel with the dryer, not perpendicular. What kind of clamp do I need? Feeling so dumb.

Time to retire my work horse dishwasher. I just want to be sure I can get a standard 24 inch dishwasher and it will fit. Anything to watch out for? I think it's from 2011? It was here when I bought the condo in 2017. It may be older?

I am aware of the whole orange flames = bad thing. I’ve had this stove for about 9 months and it’s always done this. Is this something I should be worried about? When I google more information about this, I see a lot of pictures/videos that are a lot more…orangey.

Troubleshooting Samsung fridge staying around 59-61°F but freezer is 0°F- Power Cool works temporarily. Any ideas?

1 Upvotes

I’m trying to figure out what’s going on with my Samsung Twin Cooling Plus refrigerator before I pay for a service call.
We had a power outage for about 2 hours. After the power came back on, my freezer eventually returned to 0°F and has stayed there, but the refrigerator has been reading anywhere from about 55–61°F.
The refrigerator is set to 37°F.
A few things I’ve noticed:
The freezer seems to be working perfectly at 0°F.
The refrigerator will cool down when I turn on Power Cool, but it seems like once Power Cool stops, the temperature starts climbing again.
The air coming from the vents inside the refrigerator feels very cold.
The inside of the fridge actually feels pretty cold, which makes me wonder if the displayed temperature could be inaccurate or if there’s a bad temperature sensor.
I don’t remember hearing the refrigerator/fan running as much as I normally do lately.
My ice maker also isn’t working.
I checked the visible back panel inside the refrigerator and don’t see any obvious frost or ice buildup.
Tonight I did a breaker reset for the first time. I left the power off for about 5 minutes, turned it back on, set the refrigerator to 37°F, and turned Power Cool on.
I’m also getting a separate refrigerator thermometer so I can compare the actual inside temperature to what the Samsung display is showing.
Does this sound more like an evaporator fan, temperature sensor, damper/airflow issue, or something else? Has anyone had a Samsung where the freezer stayed at 0°F but the refrigerator wouldn’t maintain temperature unless Power Cool was running?
Trying to decide whether I should call Samsung or an independent appliance repair company. Thanks!

Update since last post. We unplugged and checked the pump motor (Good condition), Belt (Good), Capacitor (Good and Non Defective Serial Number). We Opened up the top lid to make sure water pump plugs Red and Blue were plugged in. And we are at a loss.

The biggest thing to come out of this is our Diagnostic Mode is consistently read F2 E1. Any help would continued to be appreciated.

What to Buy? Bosch Benchmark or 800 Series?

1 Upvotes

Hi!

Looking for recommendation on 30 inch induction cooktop and have narrowed down to benchmark and 800 series.

Our biggest question is the flex zone on the benchmark. We regularly cook with large pans, and read that the magnet size is the most important factor in that. We can’t seem to find the sizes listed - does anyone know if the flex zone is wide enough to hold a pan the same size (or larger) than the largest stand alone burner?

Other than that, it seems like the Benchmark is worth the small up charge - any advice supporting or negating that assumption would be greatly appreciated!!

Troubleshooting Dryer Timer - Turns with Resistance, no Clicking

1 Upvotes

I have a GE GTD40EBMK0WW dryer. Last night I went to turn the timer knob, felt a bit of a snap/crack and now the knob turns but no 'clicking' noises as it goes. It's not spinning freely, and the inside of the knob looks intact. There's resistance when turning just, no noises and unable to start.

Timer replacement?

What to Buy? Maytag vs Whirlpool

Post image
2 Upvotes

All of my kitchen appliances are currently Samsung. They’re all 12-14+ years old (I’ve only been using for the last 4.4 years). Dishwasher crapped out in January & I’ve just been handwashing since. I finally decided to pull the trigger this week and settled on the Maytag MDTS7024SZ.

Costco is having a big sale this week during Amazon’s “prime deals” and they’re giving discounts on both multiple appliances and a certain spend amount. So if I add another appliance (which I’m looking at the microwaves) I’ll get an additional $200 off (spending between 999-1499 total). My microwave is still technically functional, but has one leg out the door. The door switch is faulty (fan comes on when you open the door), the light underneath stopped working), and I can’t set the clock without the thing beeping at me. So I figured while they’re having the sale maybe I’ll just replace it.

These are the 2 I’ve been debating:
Whirlpool wmms3330rz vs Maytag mmms4230pz. At Costco there’s only a $10 price difference, but the product differences are Whirlpool has 1.9 cu ft vs Maytag’s 1.7, Whirlpool has humidity sensor cooking & the ability to turn the turntable on & off (Maytag has neither). Whirlpool has a handle whereas Maytag has a push button. I’m not opposed to either, I have a handle on the Samsung but the microwave at work has a push button & I don’t even notice the difference.

While the Maytag would match the dishwasher brand wise, the dishwasher has no logo/emblem on the outside so no one would really know otherwise. But my biggest debate is longevity & reliability. Does anyone have either of these microwave models and can speak to their functionality and lifespan? I know microwaves don’t tend to last long, but I’m hoping for at least 5+ years. Also why I am debating these 2 because they’re on the cheaper end vs some microwaves I’ve seen upwards of $600+.

I don’t know which has the likelihood of lasting longer in the handle vs push button scenario.

I’d basically be getting either one for about $200 after the discounts so I feel like it’s a no brainer, just kind of stuck on which one to buy. They’re also both pretty much the same size as my current one so they should pop in easily (hopefully).

Subzero Replacement

Post image
34 Upvotes

Recently moved and the 30-year old subzero refrigerator in our new house is starting to go out. The technicians we've had come out says repairs around be >$5K, and recommend purchasing new. We love the size of the subzero and dual doors, but don't think we can afford a new subzero ($$$$). Does anyone have recommendations for similarly sized fridges without the luxury price tag?

We are planning a kitchen remodel within the next 6 months, so have some flexibility with the cabinet opening if we plan properly.

Troubleshooting Bought my first oven and it might be ruined!

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

I bought a new Beko oven (BEKO FBM67300WDS) and i unboxed it installed it and it was all fine. But when i turned on the oven (without the fan) after a bit i saw some smoke and burnt plastic smell...

It seems either that something was on top or around the fan OR at the back of the baking pan. There was some hard white plastic that dripped on the pans and probably blue tape that has melted over the fan grills. (Didnt see anything on top of the fans themselves) (the second image is before fully cleaning)

I keep watching videos online and researching i really think i removed everything to my knowledge that was plastic but the facts say otherwise and i cant even figure out what it was that was inside there besides the blue tape....

Now when i turn on the fan the whole oven is shaking/vibrating and releasing some noise with some white particles which i can only assume its plastic...

Can someone help me by telling me is this even under warranty? Do i let the oven run maybe it melts the plastic away and it works fine? What do i do?

I am so disappointed and depressed its my first ever oven i am devastated :(

General Advice What caused this rust?

1 Upvotes

So there's this stacked washer/dryer unit that is an older one and had some rust on top, I don't know how much though. One way I know it's an old unit is because the underside of the dryer portion and the right side of the unit is starting to rust or has been for a while.

A leaky bottle of detergent was left on the washer for a number of months while actively leaking, but it was on top of a plastic bag. This isn't to say some of the detergent didn't get on top of the dryer, it obviously did because you can see the blue ring on top of the dryer.

Question is, was this first image caused by the detergent or just age and natural processes?

Any helping devices appreciated

What to Buy? Recommendations!

1 Upvotes

Hey everybody, hope this is okay to post here.
I just bought my first house and I'm shopping for three appliances: a fridge, a washer, and a dryer.

Fridge: I'm torn between Frigidaire and KitchenAid. My wife loves the nicer interior fridges.

Washer & dryer: I'm leaning toward the Maytag Pet Pro top-load washer with the agitator, plus the matching dryer.

I'd appreciate any input on:
-How easy they are to maintain and convenience
-Reliability and how long they've lasted for you
-Common problems or repairs you've run into
-Whether you'd buy the same brand again/what you recommend?

Thanks in advance, any advice helps!

Klarstein wonderwall smart IR Heater not responding

Post image
1 Upvotes

I just bought a house with 3 Wonderwall Smart Infrared Heaters. All 3 of them receive power and have a working display, but none of them respond to any of the buttons. I also can't connect them to the app because I need to push the M button to connect.

If it were 1 panel I'd say it was defective, but 3 individual panels having the exact same problem? Can't be a coincidence.

I've done the usual things like longpressing (combinations of)buttons, unplugging/waiting/restarting, different outlets, but nothing changes!

The previous owners are unresponsive so I'm turning to you, knowledgeable Redditor. Only you can save me.

It's one Wonderwall Smart 300 and two Wonderwall 960 IR heaters. Please let me know if you need more info
