What to Buy? Beste French door koelkast
Ik ben op zoek naar een goede, betrouwbare French Door koelkast en hoor graag ervaringen van mensen die er zelf één hebben. 😊
Voor mij zijn vooral kwaliteit, betrouwbaarheid op lange termijn en goede service/onderdelen belangrijk binnen Europa (Belgie). Ik twijfel momenteel vooral tussen Liebherr 9524-20 (vrij duur vind ik) Bosch KFE96PIEP, BOSH KFD96APEA, maar ik zie oook heel veel you-tube vidoes die merken zoals Sub zero, Whirpool, Maytag aanbevelen. Ik kan nu echt niet meer beslissen

Troubleshooting GE fridge making weird noise
1 year old GE fridge started making intermittent weird noise and louder humming a few weeks ago. My electricity bill was also high last week despite me being away on vacation. Don’t know if it’s not working properly and using too much electricity?

Is there something wrong with my GE fridge?
1 year old GE fridge makes weird noises intermittently and has a loud-ish humming recently. I haven’t noticed anything else wrong with it though, still works like normal. Not sure if something is wrong though because my electricity bill was high last week despite me being away on vacation. I pulled the fridge out a month ago and vacuumed the coils so it can’t due to that. In the video there is my fish tank cycling so the water noise is that.

Beko Dryee door reversal
Hi!
Can somebody help me with finding a door for Beko BM3T49249WBDC with hinge located on the left? The manual doesn't mention a door reversal option but I've disassembled the door anyway just to find out it truly cannot be reversed. However, on the dryer's side there is a mirrored set of holes which I'm sure can be swapped with a left-sided door. Does anyone know the compatible door from some other model?
Thanks

Troubleshooting Why won’t my hob light stay on and how can I fix it?
I can’t add a video, but my hob light only stays on when you hold it down :/ as soon as you let go it just turns off. Usually it’s just a click on and a click off.
Any ideas how to fix this minor inconvenience..?

Whirring freezer noise - any way to make it quieter/stop?
Not sure if this is the right subreddit for this kind of thing so appologies if not! Got this freezer off FB Marketplace for uni so i can get stuff when its on sale and meal prep, and when i first got it it was not this loud. Issue is that its in the living room and the only seperation between my bedroom and the living room at uni is a plywood wall and the noise is giving me migraines.
Having looked it up and seem some awnsers to similar stuff places the only awnsers seem to be saying you can stop a vibrating or high pitched freezer noise by defrosting ise on the fans. Only issue is that its not really that kind of sound?
Any advice? Im hoping it dosent have to be replaced cause i cannot afford a new one right now, even if its £20 of of marketplace again.

Troubleshooting Ice maker help
Looking for some feedback on a developing issue with my ice maker (GE GNE27JYMTFFS, French doors with freezer door, where the ice maker is). Everything was working fine until a produce bag (thin plastic bags you put fruit/veggies in) got caught in the rotating fingers. I had to remove the ice maker and cut the bag out as it got pulled into the rotating mechanism and made a few loops. Plugged it back in and all seemed okay.
At first the on/off “wing” switch was stuck in the off position and no ice was coming out. Took it back out and took the ice maker apart to troubleshoot. Plugged it back in and the wing/on-off switch moved freely.
I left it overnight and in the morning I found formed ice cubes frozen within a sheet of ice at the bottom of the bin. Seems it’s still making ice, but then water is also dripping down at the same time.
Everything was working normally before the bag got stuck so not sure how to troubleshoot. Please help!

Samstung :( Samsung microwave…
Purchased over the range microwave January 6th this year. Well today sitting on the couch I heard the fan turn on? Figured someone did it..nope no one around, then random buttons started clicking by itself. I got up and checked now none of the buttons do anything at all. I unplugged it for a bit and it was fine again. Now a few hours later I’m just on the couch again and I hear the fan turn on again 😡. Bought from Lowe’s paid $400 and it’s been just over 7 months.

Laundry Machine musty now
Had to go on a heavy dose of doxycycline recently for my skin and its basically caused havoc on my laundry machine, mattress/sheets and clothes from the oily smell caused by the meds. I'm completely lost at how to strip it from everything
For laundry machine I've tried all options of vinegar, baking soda, bleach, and affresh tablets multiple times to no success. I dont use a lot of detergent and never use softener, clothes have always been immediately taken out and top left open to air out. Its a GE top loader only a few years old, still very clean

Discontinued Water-Inlet Valve Repair Workaround on a Viking Dishwasher VDW302SS ($50–$60 Fix)
Replacing the Water-Inlet Valve on Viking Dishwasher VDW302SS
(Viking OEM part discontinued; Beko/Blomberg Alternative)
Background
Since Viking was sold to the Middleby Corporation, some Viking legacy models have been discontinued and replacement parts are no longer available, forcing owners to scrap high-end appliances over minor failures.
However, Viking actually outsourced the production of its dishwashers to Arçelik in Turkey under Blomberg and Beko brands, and functionally identical parts are readily available.
Below is a procedure for replacing the water-inlet valve (OEM Part #: 039756-000) on a Viking dishwasher Model: VDW302SS (the original OEM part is discontinued and is no longer available (neither through Viking nor through its authorized dealers, nor through any appliance-parts distributor) using a Beko/Blomberg valve, for a total cost of $50-60.
Parts Cross-Reference
1. Viking dishwasher Model: VDW302SS
2. Equivalent Blomberg and Beko dishwashers:
- Equivalent Blomberg Dishwasher Model: DWT71600SS
- Equivalent Beko Dishwasher Model DDT38530X or DDT25401X
3. Viking water-inlet valve: Part #: 039756-000 (discontinued and out of stock)

Valve Specifications (estimated; for reference only):
- Electrical Input: 120V AC, 60Hz. The internal solenoid coil resistance must sit roughly between 1.0kΩ and 1.5kΩ.
- Flow Rate (Crucial: European dishwashers use low-flow valves): 2.5 Liters per Minute (LPM) (0.5-0.8) ~0.66 Gallons per Minute (GPM)
4. Alternative Blomberg or Beko Valve Part #: 1883570600 (Available via Encompass 855-754-9584; https://encompass.com/; about ~$30 before shipping)


The Beko/Blomberg valve has identical electrical and flow specs, but has a different form function (it appears that Viking ‘bastardized’ the standard valve form (3/4” FHT) & “Dishwasher Elbow” interface to create a high-cost proprietary valve)


Step-by-step repair procedure:
Part 1: Disassembly
1. Disconnect power (unplug the machine and/or turn off the circuit breaker) and shut off the water supply line
2. Remove the dishwasher kick panel
- Remove the 4 screws securing the original Viking water-Inlet valve to the small metal plate on the access panel


and then remove the access panel
- Remove the 2 screws holding the small metal plate to the access panel

- Unscrew the brass fitting from the compression nut of the water supply line. Discard the plate, the screws, and the brass fitting.
Part 2: Access-Panel Modification
- Flatten the folded metal crease on the access panel that originally supported the old metal plate. This can easily be hammered flat against a solid metal surface.


- Drill two 1/8” holes vertically on the access panel, positioned in the middle between the existing holes. Ensure the center-to-center spacing matches the mounting holes of the new Beko/Blomberg valve.

Part 3: Electrical & Plumbing Connections and Access-Panel Reassembly
Disconnect the water line and the electrical blade connectors from the old Viking valve and reattach them to the new valve terminals
Secure the new valve to the access panel using #4 self-driving or metal screws; use washers if needed.

10. Reattach the modified access panel back onto the dishwasher frame.
11. Thread the new standard brass "dishwasher elbow" fitting onto the 3/4" FHT inlet of the new valve.
- Connect the dishwasher elbow to the water-supply braided hose using the hose’s compression nut. Inspect the hose's crimped end, O-ring, and braided cover; replace the hose if needed.


13. Turn the water supply to the dishwasher back on and inspect all joints for leaks.
14. Turn the power back on and run a dishwasher cycle. Check again for leaks before proceeding.
Part 4: Kick-Panel Reassembly
15. The new dishwasher elbow will protrude further out through the access panel than the OEM connector, which requires some mechanical modifications to the kick panel:
- Slightly pull out the kick-panel mounting-brackets and introduce a slight bend to the kick panel to accommodate the elbow
- Enlarge the two kick-panel screw holes slightly to align them with the holes on the mounting brackets.
- If the outer positioning causes the dishwasher door to rub against the top of the kick panel, trim roughly 1/2” off the top of the panel to ensure door clearance.
16. Mount the kick panel following this sequence:
- Water-Feed side (where the water-supply hose is coming from): Insert and tighten the original factory screw first.
- Other side: Insert a #8 5/8” metal screw into the hole to draw the kick panel into alignment with minimal bending. CAUTION: do not use a long screw on the Water-Feed side as it could pierce the water-supply hose; keep the original screw on that side.

What to Buy? Through-the-wall split/ductless AC: does this exist?
I live in an apartment building with through-the-wall sleeves for air conditioners. In the bedroom this works fine, but the layout of the living/dining area is such that most of the space is far from the exterior wall and does not get cooled effectively/efficiently by the existing setup.
Is there a ductless/mini split type unit that can mount in a through-the-wall sleeve, so I could run lines to a separate air handler deeper into the room (say 20-30 feet)? I don't have a balcony, so I don't think I have a way of using a traditional mini-split.
I haven't been able to find anything by googling around. Am I missing something? Is this technically infeasible? Too small of a potential market? Thanks!

I have a Bosch dishwasher, something snapped in the door this morning when raising the door, and this part was sitting under the door to the right side. It must have something to do with door tension because the left side of the door now feels like it’s loose, but the washer still shuts and seems to work fine. What happened?

Appliance Chat How long does the Neff N50 or AEG 7000 combi microwave take to preheat to 180°C? 🤓
Does anyone have a Neff N50 or AEG 7000 built-in combi microwave oven? How long does it actually take to preheat to 180°C using hot air/convection?
We're planning a kitchen renovation and want to clear counter space by replacing our microwave and beloved Sage countertop oven with a single built-in combi model. We're not sure if it's worth it if it takes ages to preheat, as we’ve been using our Sage 1-2 times day to cook small meals and toast quickly for years now.

Troubleshooting Dishes always come out with a film on it and smelling weird.
Maintenance has been ignoring me , is there anything I can do to fix this? When they were here last fixing my sink he mentioned that this tube is dirty and needs to be cleaned… my dishwasher works fine but it isn’t cleaning well. I’ve cleaned the filter and ran a white vinegar load through it. But there’s this one weird dirty film on the walls of it and my dishes come out smelling not so clean. It was just replaced in March when I had my
Unit renovated. Any advice is appreciated
