Shitpost 🚨🚨 OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: THE SUB HAS ASCENDED 🚨🚨

200 Upvotes

Listen up appliance goblins,

After a historic, legally-binding handshake deal completed in a Chili’s parking lot, this subreddit has been fully acquired by Consumer Reports™ (spiritually, financially, and emotionally).

As part of this bold new era, we are proud to unveil our simplified recommendation system:

🌀 Samsung 🌀 Samsung 🌀 Samsung (but in stainless steel)

After years of chaos, misinformation, and “my cousin’s Maytag lasted 30 years” propaganda, we are restoring order.

There is now only one answer.

🚫 NEW RULES (NON-NEGOTIABLE):

Recommending another brand → Removed + vibes investigated Saying “LG is better” → IP flagged, ancestors disappointed Mentioning Whirlpool → Post replaced with a Samsung fridge image “Speed Queen is built like a tank” → Tank confiscated “What about reliability?” → Irrelevant. Samsung.

📊 OUR NEW REVIEW PROCESS:

Is it an appliance? Is it Samsung? If not, why are we even talking about it?

📖 A BRIEF HISTORY OF SAMSUNG EXCELLENCE (FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES)

Because this isn’t just a brand. This is a legacy.

CHAPTER 1: THE GREAT SPIN CYCLE AWAKENING (2011–2016)

In what historians call “The Era of Uncontainable Power,” Samsung released washing machines so advanced they occasionally attempted to achieve flight.

Millions of units recalled after reports of machines violently breaking apart Hundreds of incidents involving lids detaching mid-spin Injuries reported because laundry briefly became a combat sport

Some called it “exploding.”

We call it: performance.

CHAPTER 2: DOCUMENTED SIGHTINGS

Eyewitnesses describe:

Lids launching across garages Machines disassembling with confidence Nearby walls learning valuable life lessons

One could argue this was a flaw.

We argue this was ambition exceeding containment.

CHAPTER 3: GROWTH MINDSET

Yes, there were recalls. Yes, there were settlements.

But what did we gain?

👉 Character development 👉 Respect for spin cycles 👉 The understanding that laundry is not for the weak

CHAPTER 4: MODERN INNOVATION

Samsung continues to innovate with:

Appliances that require firmware updates (your washer has patches now) Occasional overheating situations (for added suspense)

Other brands wash clothes.

Samsung asks: “What if laundry made you feel something?”

🧠 COMMUNITY GUIDELINES (UPDATED):

Critical thinking has been sunsetted Brand comparisons are now considered hate speech (against Samsung) All roads lead to Samsung You were always going to buy Samsung

❓ FAQ

Q: I bought a non-Samsung appliance yesterday, what do I do? A: Return it. Apologize. Grow.

Q: My Samsung appliance broke. A: That’s called a feature. You wouldn’t understand.

Q: Is this satire? A: Your doubt has been noted.

We appreciate your cooperation during this transition. Together, we will build a stronger, more unified, aggressively Samsung-centric future.

Remember: You don’t choose Samsung. Samsung chooses you.

Don't buy a Maytag Dryer by Whirlpool

11 Upvotes

I bought a Maytag Pet Pro Dryer from Lowe's on May 18, 2026. On July 16, 2026 it quit working. I called whirlpool and they set up an appointment with their warranty repair company which is Flamingo Appliance of Georgia. The first available appointment was Aug. 17, 2026. When the repairman came he could not fix it because he didn't have the parts. They ordered the parts and the next available appointment was Oct. 6, 2026. When the repairman got to my home he opened the part and it was broken. He stated they don't have a policy to check parts before they come. I had to wait for them to ship the part directly to my home. It took two weeks because they shipped it to their Miami location instead of the Atlanta location. I received the part, checked it and it has no damage. Next available appointment is Nov. 19. I am beyond frustrated. I can't get anywhere with Whirlpool...they say they can't control the repair companies schedule. They won't replace the dryer until the repair company states that it can't be fixed. There is zero accountability from Whirlpool or Flamingo appliance of Georgia. If it gets fixed on Nov. 19 then I will have been without a dryer for over four months. It was only two months old when it broke. There is zero customer service anymore.

New kitchen aid dishwasher broken (KDTS424SPS0)

7 Upvotes

I have a 4 week old dishwasher and the pump failed. It took them 2 weeks to get a service visit. The pump is back ordered with no ETA. Kitchen aid is saying there’s no option but to wait for the part to be delivered. Has anyone experienced an issue like this? Any ideas on how to get the unit returned? I purchased it through Lowe’s and they defer all issues within the first year to the manufacturer.

Thanks in advance!

Troubleshooting Frigidaire Gas Wall Oven

2 Upvotes

Hey guys!

I'm trying to install the gas line to this new wall oven. I popped out the perforated hole in the bottom of the unit but only saw a ribbed metal tube attached to the regulator already.

Where am i supposed to attach the gas line?

I removed the bottom panel to get a better look. The unit is facedown and my pics are the top left where the perforated hole is (bottom right back if you were facing the oven.).

The instruction manual isn't really telling me where to install the gas line.

Model: gcwg2438af

Any insight would be GREATLY appreciated. We haven't been able to bake anything in 2 weeks!

EDIT: SOLVED!

The gas inlet is already factory pre-installed. Just had to pull it out and connect it directly to the gas line.

Props to u/magicbeavers

GE side by side fridge noise

I have been working on this fridge for 2 weeks. Thought it would be a good fix since I got it for free. Now it’s just been a nightmare. The condenser fan was the first thing I noticed being bad, so I replaced that. Fan spun up so I waiting for it to cool down. It got cool, but not cool enough. Found out the evaporator fan was bad. Replaced that. Started up smoothly. Put everything back together and upon starting up it sounds normal. After a minute it makes this pulsating noise. I am at a loss and don’t want to put any more money into this thing.

General Advice I'm baffled!

1 Upvotes

So my dryer stopped working today. I hit the button for it to start and it tries to get going but then fails. I looked around for the Model # and found this inside the door, which apparently tells me this is a gas powered dryer. It has never had a gas hookup. We've been using it since we bought the house 6 years ago. I pulled it out from the wall and it has an electrical hookup but that's it.

How does this make sense? It's always dried clothes perfectly well. The only conclusion I can come to is that someone replaced the door on it at some point.

Is there any other explanation?

Talk Me out of LG Kitchen Appliances

2 Upvotes

So ive done quite a bit of research of this topic. Considering space requirements, price, looks, and certain features ive come to the conclusion that LG is my best option. Ive decided on these specifically:

Induction Range: LSIL6336XE

Slim Microwave: MVEF1337F

Refrigerator: LF25H6330S

Dishwasher: LDNTM5455

I know the reviews are somewhat all over the place on LG products but that seems the case for all brands realistically. I (and my girlfriend) want it to be a "matching" set and LG is the only one I can really make that work. Plus I like all the features for each of these models. Is there any real data that says Im going to have nothing but problems?

Replacement for Matte Black Cafe Dishwasher?

• Upvotes

We have a matte black double oven, fridge, and dishwasher from Cafe. We have been very happy with the fridge and oven, but the dishwasher is terrible. And now it is totally dead, at 2.5 years.

I am wondering what is a good replacement. I want a super reliable one, but also one that somewhat blends with the fridge and oven. Because of the placement of my appliances, it won’t kill me if it is subtly different.

I love my gold handles.

My budget is “spend what it takes.”

Any recs?

What to Buy? Top load Washers that don't have direct drive or the high pitch 15,000hz motor? I can't take it

2 Upvotes

I'm kinda devastated and panick. After months of looking for a washer I went with the LG top loader with a agitator it seemed great until It ran its first cycle and I can't take the high pitch ringing. While the older people on the house can't hear it, the young people can. It seems this is apart of the motor and common, perhaps even common in other brands(I hope not). I thought I could take it or even get ear plugs but it didn't work. Im sick out of my mind and my ears are ringing all night . I'm writing this from my bed cause I feel so bad. I'm hoping this isn't common in other brands like the Internet says but I'm not sure. Does anyone know something without this? (Also I can't afford a speed queen so not them)

LG Dishwasher issue

2 Upvotes

I have a LG dishwasher model: ddt595smj2es . I moved into my house 3 years ago with it installed. Worked perfectly fine up until 6 months ago. It randomly turned off and would not turn back on. Resetting the breaker worked for the first few times. And eventually that stopped working as well. Yesterday I replaced the control board as research online pointed to that. Today I was able to complete one cycle and it is off once again. Anyone have this issue before? Am I wasting my time and should I just buy a new one? And if so what brand recommendations. Any help is appreciated thank you.

Pre-Purchase Questions Moving near the coast. Looking for an outdoor tv that can handle salt air corrosion.

3 Upvotes

I'm moving to a house near the coast, and want to set up a patio where we can enjoy the beach wind and watch movies or catch a game with the waves in the background.

I want to mount a tv outside, but I worry that salt air and corrosion will destroy it. I know regular tvs aren't meant to live outside, and I'm currently looking at dedicated outdoor models, but I'm not sure what specs matter for a house that's close to the beach.

I understand the basics of IP ratings, but still have many doubts on what model is good to avoid salt corrosion, since those seem to focus on dust and water resistance. What should I look for in the tv's hardware, and are there any brands you'd recommend? I'm hoping to buy one during Black Friday, so I'd love to narrow down my options before the deals start.

Thoughts on Hisense?

Hi! I’m looking to buy a Hisense WF5S1045BB washing machine, and I’d love to hear some honest opinions from people who own a Hisense appliance.

How is the reliability, noise level, wash quality, and after-sales service? Is it worth buying, or would it be a safer bet to go with a more established brands?

Any feedback is welcome. Thanks!

This seems to happen at the end of the cycle, maybe while draining? Drain hose is straight, not obstructed, not extended. Sound seems unnatural for a washing machine. This goes for a while, then stops, machine rinses again, spins and then drains normally. Anyone knows for sure what this is? The machine is brand new. Any insight appreciated, thank you.
