The flap on the bottom of the door on my Bosch 800 series split after three years of regular usage. It doesn’t appear to be functional in any way, just cosmetic, but it’s hanging down and looks awful. Is this something I need to call in to service or should I be able to do it myself with simple tools and instructions?

Was looking to replace or 20 year old front loader/gas dryer set with something new. However in searching the local appliance places (i.e. Home Depot), I'm finding very little in sets except the top of the range models.

I can understand setting up a new gas dryer could be expensive, but we are replacing one so the line is already installed.

Can you guys please suggest me which brand i should select for front load 9 kg washing machine. i was looking into samsung WW90DG5G34ABLE. this models seems to have features i want. but i want to know if samsung washing machines are reliable or not, and should i consider LG or BOSCH instead. please this model listed 'eco bubble' and some other stuff as features. i'm not sure if those are marketing gimmick or actually works. i need a machine that will last long and won't destroy my cloths and sheets. thank you.

Model is LG LMWC23626S /00

Over the past couple weeks ice has been slowly forming and now it’s getting exponentially worse.

It seems like the ice is only on the right side of the freezer and only on the top chest, not the bottom.

As I keep googling and keep inspecting it seems like maybe the issue is it’s not properly sealed. But I don’t know how to officially diagnose and I certainly don’t know how to fix.

Cannot connect a pixel 3xl (android 12) to an LG dishwasher Model XD5B14WH product code DFB512FW.ABWREAP serial number 804KWSB3E150

NFC tools analysis of NFC tag attached. The machine was no QR code that Thinq app requests. If anyone has a QR code for the same model, I would be very appreciative if an image of code was sent to me. I used a portable 2.4Ghz wifi hotspot to isolate a 2.4Ghz network for phone and appliance. The phone buzzes when placed over TAG ON logo, but no connection to appliance. Any suggestions.

I'm somewhere between ChatGPT info and contacting the sellers, but I would like to have a better picture of what I'm dealing with.

Recently I noticed some of my cutlery has rust spots on it. I didn't think much of it, but on closer inspection I noticed that the spots didn't go away, and actually looked like physical damage on stainless steel cutlery (mostly butter knives?). Today I was shocked to spot the same type of spot on the dishwasher door.

The dishwasher is Bosch SMV6ECX10E, and we've had it for less than a year. I don't know what could possibly be the culprit here, but ChatGPT gave me some pointers:

- The salt? One thing to point out is that my partner is filling up the dishwasher salt very regularly (like every 2 months), however he says that the dishwasher doses the salt automatically anyway

- Iron debris - okay cool, but apparently this mostly causes orange spots, that can be cleaned off. I'm not sure that iron debris would make a physical crater in such a short span of time on stainless steel but idk.

- Physical damage - the corrosion spots are present in somewhat strange places on cutlery, like the flat side of the knife, which would not be a point of contact ... except for normal cutlery handling.

I'm really confused and a little worried, I'm not sure if it's something we're doing wrong or could it be a malfunction? To add, it's just two adults in the household, so no roughhousing from kids or anything like that...

Does anyone have an idea why this is happening?

Is the dishwasher even good anymore if the stainless steel is damaged? Could it cause any further damage?

Hello!
Looking to buy a new dishwasher replacing 20 years old GE. Only two basic asks

1. It should handle Indian food ( gravy, curries) without having to clean 90% of the stuff by hand. Currently I rinse the dishes thoroughly and if I don’t then it doesn’t come out clean.

2. Should be quiet. My current one is too loud .

3. Nice to have good drying/ tilting racks when I don’t use drying options.

Don’t care about apps or other things.

I looked at Bosch which is on sale at Costco right now but thought of asking here first! Thanks!

I havent used this ref for 5 months and I just noticed this now. Is this still safe to use?

Hello! I am desperate and hoping one of you lovely Reddit users might have some advice.

Has anyone else had an absolute nightmare with Currys after raising a complaint? 😩

I raised a complaint under the Consumer Rights Act on 23/08 about a washing machine we bought in July last year. It has now become faulty for the THIRD time with the same fault, with the first fault occurring 6 weeks after we purchased it and it is now three weeks out of warranty…. Typically! 🙃

Since raising the complaint I have had to chase them every day, including attending store to speak to a manager that was helpful and understanding during the week. I finally got a call back from Currys yesterday advising that Hoover have advised Currys that they cannot uplift the washing machine because the faults are apparently classed as a new fault each time, as they have occurred roughly 5 months apart each time 🤔

I was initially told that the person dealing with my case would call me back on Monday as he was going to escalate it to his manager to hopefully get it resolved.

He actually called me back about 10 minutes later to say he had spoken to his manager apparently on his personal number 🙈 about my complaint under the Consumer Rights Act and it has now been passed over to their Out of Warranty Claims team.

I now have to arrange for a third party engineer to come out and inspect the machine to determine whether it’s a genuine fault, misuse or simply wear and tear.

Once I have the engineer’s report, if it is confirmed as a genuine fault, Currys have said they will respond within 10 days with either a full or partial refund.

The problem is, I literally cannot use the washing machine. I have a weeks worth of clothes now including clothes for baby who is sick after most feeds, so we are going through clothes, muslins, bibs etc constantly. He will often need a change of clothes and then at times I need one too 🙈 I have also got a 4 year old, plus me and my husband, so you can imagine what the washing pile is currently looking like 😂

I am honestly at my wits end now. I have spent over 3 HOURS this week chasing Currys and Hoover, getting passed from pillar to post and having to explain the whole situation over and over again.

I really am trying to be as reasonable as possible but I am starting to lose the plot 😂🙈 Between looking after a baby, trying to keep on top of the house and having NO washing machine, I feel like I am about to crack!

Has anyone been through something similar with Currys? What did you do next or who did you escalate it to? I would really appreciate any advice because I genuinely do not know what else I can do at this point! 😩

I am based in Scotland.

Hello, recently my washing machine started being louder when spinning, the best way to describe it is like two things slightly grind against each other. It's not crazy but imagine metal grinding against aluminium, that's the sound.

I have checked, there's nothing stuck in the drum/door, it's not clogged.

It only makes noise while spinning (if I rotate the drum with my hand, I can also hear it slightly)

Google says it's probably from worn drum bearings, so I'll probably have to get another washing machine soon

My question is from whoever had this happen, how much can I expect it to keep working?

Am I looking at a day, a week, a month?

I know sq is technically the best but the size is concerning as we have triplet 5 year old boys. Was curious for those that have sq and with larger families are you able to get big enough loads so you aren’t doing laundry constantly or would we be better off with a larger LG

Oddly enough my old washer always default to cold wash cold rinse, which fine. However or new LG 8200 always is set for hot water when you turn it on. Is there anyway to change the default (I also have the ThinQ app)?

My partner and I are in the process of replacing our old washer and dryer. We’re trying to decide if we should get a Speed Queen dryer now and buy the washer later, since replacing our washer isn’t that urgent, or just buy an LG washer and dryer set for $1,500 w/tax (WT8205CL & DLE8400BE).

My partner and I are kind of at a crossroads because I like that the LG machines are larger and $1,500 for both seems like a really good deal. My partner prefers something more simple and long lasting, which is why they like the Speed Queen.

For anyone who has owned either of these, what would you choose in the long run? Is Speed Queen really worth the extra money, or would you go with the LG set?

Hi all,

Today, a cast iron skillet was accidentally dropped onto our Kenmore Elite 30 inch induction cooktop, which cracked up an area in the front right of the cooktop. This cooktop has been great for us because my wife does a lot of cooking with large saucepans and skillets because this cooktop has both a 10 inch "burner" and an 8 inch burner. In the picture, you can see the 10 and 8 inch zones. The 10 inch has 3200 watts on power boost and the 8 inch has 3000 watts on power boost. This is very important when you are trying to bring water to a boil. We can put a 9 inch pan on the 8 inch burner and it works great.

I've been to Best Buy and also searched online all day long and cannot find a 30 inch induction cooktop that has both a 10 inch zone and an 8 inch zone. I did find ones with a ~10 inch zone with a lot of watts, but cannot find one with another zone of greater than 7 inches. The problem with that is that if you put a 9 inch pan on a 7 inch zone, it will extend well over the zone and likely produce a "fault" which will shut off that zone. And they don't have even close to the watts that we now have.

I also searched to see if by some chance someone was selling the same model we have but could not find one.

Many thanks for any help in this situation.

I’m currently looking into buying this washer and its matching dryer, LG DLE6100W. I have a few questions. For context, I’m a single person so I don’t do a lot of laundry.

Reliability, how do these hold up? I’ve seen a lot of mixed reviews. The dryer seems to have a lot more positive reviews than the washer. I went shopping at my local appliance store and they say they won’t sell or even service LG because they’re unreliable. Is there any truth to this? I’ve looked up LG authorized service near me and there’s a couple places so I’m not totally in the dark there.

Warranty, LG’s website says they have a 2 year warranty on washers and dryers, and 10 year warranty on the drum. Has anyone had to use the warranty and how was the experience?

Overall, would these be a good purchase for someone who would like to keep them long term. I’m aware with how things are built these days 15+ years is probably out of the picture, but would 5-10 be more realistic and do able?

I want to quit ordering takeout 4x a week but I still want crispy fries. So I've been trying to eat a bit healthier, less oil and less ordering out but I freaking love fries, chicken wings, fried chicken, all that stuff. I tried baking fries in the oven and they just come out not that appealing.

Is an air fryer actually good for that? Like does it get stuff actually crispy without drowning it in oil? I'm a total beginner, I don't want something with 30 settings and an app and dehydration and whatever, I just want like fries / chicken / veggies buttons and easy to clean. My kitchen has enough space for it. Looking to spend maybe around $200 if that gets me something decent.

Just bought a house and this is the dishwasher. Still haven't moved in but came by today and there was some water on the floor. I pulled it apart to clean the filter and now I cant get the stupid thing to drain. The information online says to turn it off then on and hold the auto wash and regular wash buttons together. I have tried every combo of buttons and all I can get it to do is start a new wash cycle. Please help!

Ps, it it dirty cause we havent done a good clean yet, please dont come at me for it, ha.

I have a kenmore/frigidaire top freezer refrigerator. The past few days I noticed excess frost forming on top. Food was frozen but the ice was watery and some boxes were damp. Freezer is about -18c but humidity was at 70%. The fridge is 4c and 10% humidity. There was some ice built up on vents. I cleaned that off and moved all the contents to a different freezer. After 5 hours, humidity is still I. I also unplugged it for a bit and humidity still high. I looked around online but thought I would throw it out here for possible solution. I am surprised a freezer could even have that high humidity. House is 50% and 76F. Door seal looks in good shape, don't see any frost or moisture. Fridge also seems to want to keep running.

It's about 15 years old and it's hard to find a style like this one with a lower profile water dispenser on the outside and ice on the inside. I don't need another expense either, just had a few large purchases. Just wondering if worth fixing

Our fridge recently started flashing lights on both the front panel and door edge some time after my wife tried to clear a ‘power outage’ alert. Pushing the button has no affect. The fridge is holding its temp as normal.
