We purchased this fridge from Sears after what we thought was a lot of research, including buying a Consumer Reports book. We wanted a large fridge with a bottom freezer and, while we were wary of the ice-maker function, we really wanted our kids to be able to get their own water for a change and we had been making ice with ice trays for years previous. We paid $2599 during a boxing day sale in 2012.
Fast forward to just over a year later.  As I type this, my husband is hunched over the ice-maker with my hair dryer, trying to melt what we are hoping is a block of ice, which has caused the water dispenser to be dripping water for almost a week. The front compartment of the ice-maker will not even come off. We are praying this works, and I sincerely wish I had come across all the reviews on this site (we are in Canada).
Please do not buy this fridge. While our problem is still unresolved at this moment, it has been such a hassle to relocate all our food.

And I agree wholeheartedly with the reviewers who said the door alarm is highly annoying, and the buttons to get water and ice are very sticky and you have to press them very hard. Also, water filters are over $50 each and need to be replaced every 4-6 months.


We are a family of four in NYC, bought this refrigerator five years ago, used it lightly (secondary kitchen) and the MOTOR BROKE now, just after 5 years!! The motor can't be repaired and must be replaced, the cost of that is at least $400!! When we first bought the regrigerator we were stunned by its looks and expected quality as good as its design. We were wrong. Here is a contrast: my family owns a 40+ years old refrigerator called "Minsk" made by Soviets in Belarus and it still works, and never needed a slightest repair in more than four decades. More on this LG trouble: 1) upper doors often wouldn't close properly and needed adjustment after adjustment, 2) it's not easy to clean this refrigerator because of the way the shelves designed as they have tiny - and unnecessary - details underneath them that makes it hard to clean them even when you take everything out; 3) white plastic used for the inside details/shelves breaks easily, we broke an upper part of a thing that separates the big freezer compartment by just trying to push it while pulling something out of the freezer. I do regret buying it.


Within a week after buying this machine, I made a note on the care booklet that it was the worse washer ever and that we hated it.  The clothes did not seem to get as clean as they did with our original agitator machine.  I thought maybe it was the economical detergent we were using. So, I tried a more expensive top name detergent with no difference.  Some clothes came out with weird "grease" like spots on them.  Other items stretched out from the spinning and underwire bras were mangled in a regular wash unless I used a "bra bag".  After 2 1/2 years, the washer started making a horrible grinding noise and not draining properly. We researched possible causes and decided that it wasn't worth calling a repairman or attempting to fix ourselves.  We are replacing it with a brand new  "old style" agitator that has no computer sensors and an extended warranty and will hopefully last 20 years like washers used to last!


The motor was just as described. The unit had different electrical connections compared to the one originally installed in the dryer. The new motor came with all of the necessary new electrical connectors to adapt the wiring on the dryer to the new motor terminals.

Would have rated this as 5 stars except the instructions for how to connect the existing wires to the new motor are a vague and the picture that shows the connections is of very poor quality.

A hint to getting the PLASTIC blower fan off of the old motor without breaking:
- Expose the fan on the back side of the motor.
- Clamp a vice-grip pliers to the shaft on the end near the pullet for the drum belt.
- Place a piece of wood on the bottom of the dryer where the vice-grip contacts the dryer housing to prevent denting the dryer.
- use your hands to rotate the fan counter clockwise, then quickly rotate it clockwise so that the vice-grip hits the wood on the bottom of the dryer. if you do this a few times with enough force the plastic blower fan will be loosened and you can spin it off the shaft. The threads on the blower fan are reverse threaded so the fan tightens in a counter-clockwise direction.


I had years of buildup in a 27 foot duct that ran under the house with a right angle in the first 2 feet. After living here 3 years, my drier started giving me an error message about air flow. I invested in 2 of these kits to connect together and try to clean it out.
After reading other reviews, I was very nervous about It coming apart inside the duct. I tested the attachment and un-attachment of the drill before putting anything in further than I could reach and was glad I did because the first time I unattached the drill (I wasn't holding it right) the rods came unscrewed (duct tape reinforcement and all) which would have been disastrous in the duct.
After that, I attached one rod at a time and pulled it back up to clean the lint off. Each time it went down with one more rod and came back up with more lint. By the time I got past the halfway point it was a lot easier and less lint came back.
All in all, I pulled up about 5 lbs of lint (filling an entire plastic grocery bag. Ewww). I didn't make it quite to the end but could see the brush from the outside end and it was clean.
I feel so much better about not burning down the house now and my next load of laundry dried in half the time.
This was a small investment for a lasting peace of mind and much quicker laundry times!!


I love this little machine!  It gets the clothes very clean because you can control the water, soap, wash and rinse times and frequency. The spinner practically dries clothes. I got this because I've used a larger version overseas. When my 6 yr old Maytag digital HE died, I wanted something reliable, mechanical, and not expensive. Since it is too small to do things like bedspreads and pillows, I'll eventually have to get a full-size machine. It does do sheets, tho a double bed set is a load all by itself. I'm single so I'm not trying to do a whole family's laundry. I'm also a landscaper and it handles grubby jeans just fine.

The lack of a standard hose fitting on the intake hose is the biggest problem with this washer. I hooked mine up to the regular washer hoses. I use a Y to connect the two hoses, then a short length of hose to run it into the machine.  I cut off the end of the hose and that fits the intake, replacing the hose that comes with it. The machinemy, which is short--taller people might want a pedestal--will also fit in the bathtub. You could probably cut off the end of a hand shower hose and fit that onto the intake (5/8"), but I haven't tried it.

Even when I get a full-size machine (a Speed Queen), I will use this for small loads and for back-up.


I've had this fridge for almost 9 years. For the last 4-5 years the freezer has been building ice and not defrosting. In order to make this fridger function normally I've had to unplug it, get a space heater and defrost the freezer and mop up the flood on my kitchen floor every time there's too much ice build up. It gets particularly bad in the summer.

This all stems from the poor door design in the fridge. If something is placed in either top shelf in the fridge it can obstruct the door from closing. In a lot of fridge's simply shutting the door and allowing it to reset itself usually fixes the problem. Not on this fridge. This fridge never recovered.

I don't recommend this refrigerator because it's door design makes it too easy to cause it to malfunction. The placement of the temperature dial is too far forward in the refrigerator causing it obstruct the door from closing properly. If you choose this refrigerator you need to make sure the doors shut all the way otherwise you'll have problems.


We've had this range for just under 3 years and it has been the most hateful piece of garbage I've ever had the misfortune to buy. I just pat a nearly $300.00 repair bill to replace an igniter in the lower oven. I don't know why I even bothered as the oven heats so unevenly that it's almost impossible to actually use the thing. The top oven is not much better, nor are the  burners.

When we bought the range we took GE at its word when they said that the range could be converted to LP. We changed orifices, adjusted vents, tweaked this and moved that as instructed to no avail. The ovens heat unevenly and the burners have little in the way of flame adjustment as nearly 2/3rds of the knob travel is just movement that affects the flame not a whit. The higher gas pressure required by LPG negates almost all of your flame adjustment capabilities.

I hate giving this drek even a single star. I will never, ever buy another GE product be it a light bulb or a jet engine!


I had a Kenmore washer that lasted 12 years and probably had a few more good years left, but I decided I needed a new washer and dryer. WRONG!!!! The quality is just not there in appliances (or anything for that matter).  I began having issues after about 1 year with this Maytag Centennial. It is of course computerized and we all know what that means. It began with the cycles being off, such as agitating before water began filling the tub, not spinning all the water out, partially filling the tub regardless of size or weight of load. It is Energy Star rated but that is a joke if you have reset it to spin out the water it leaves or run another cycle because it did not clean well enough. Where is the savings??? I know why they don't make appliances that last...they want to sell us extended warranties or have us replace the appliance every 2 or 3 years. I am disgusted. I am purchasing a different brand (that has nothing to do with Whirlpool, which manufactures Maytag and Kenmore washers now) and hoping for the best!


Needed to replace the ice maker in our Whirlpool side-by-side refigerator-freezer, which had developed a crack in the plastic and was leaking water and creating icicles in the freezer!  The RIM943 was an exact replacement, and came with adequate instructions for installation.  A new harness was included, although the old harness can be used.  A harness adaptor was also included for installations that may use a different plug (not needed for my Whirlpool).  Romoval of the old Ice Maker and installation of the new took about 15 minutes.  Working in the freezer side of a side-by-side is tight and I used a little mirror to align and insert the three screws to mount the assembly, and I recommend this, because you cannot see these locations.  The screws are all 1/4" slotted heads.  Recommend you use a socket wrench and don't try using a screw driver.
After allowing the freezer to cool down, it didn't take long to hear the valve open, the sound of water into the ice maker, and a bit later the sound of the ice cubes plopping into the tray.
And, oh, it is a good price.
Rated this product high because it is indeed an exact replacement, good instructions, included everything needed to install, and a good price.


We were the second owners of our home and soon after we moved in, I started noticing our brand new dryer was taking a lot longer to dry clothes and the air in the room had a lot of lint particles.  Upon doing a bit of research, I narrowed down the issues to the dryer vents being clogged.  I called some of the vent cleaning services and the quotes were mind boggling.  Based on the length of the vent, they started at $100 to a whopping $400.  I think the companies prey on your fear of dryer vent fires and charge accordingly.
The vent was located in our basement ceiling and ran the entire width of the room around 25 feet long.  I just disconnected the vent at 2 locations and fed the brush from 1 end and collected the lint at the other end.  In this way I was able to clean it from 2 locations to complete the entire length of 10 years of gunk.  I just taped the vent back with 3M Silver tape and viola it was done in about 2 hours.
The key is to make sure to follow the instructions carefully and use the lowest setting on the drill to turn the cleaner slowly.  Instructions were concise and worked great with my cordless Black and Decker drill.
This Lint Eater cleaned my dryer vent and saved me a lot of money in the process.  Now the clothes get dry fast and the wife is quite happy.


My GE refrigerator was purchased new in 2007 (model GSS23QG /GSS23QS /GSS25QG /GSS25QS).  I have replaced the filter many times and had no problems.  Until i purchased this filter. As soon as I installed it the filter following all the instructions properly, it emitted a high pitch whining noise whenever you dispense water and the water pressure has gone down.  I thought it would go away, and after waiting a month, realized it was permanent.  I removed the filter 3 times and installed it and always get the high pitch noise when getting water.  I believe that they have updated the filter without admitting it.  I called GE at 1-800-626-2002 and they said there has been no changes to the filter, but the facts speak for themselves. So if you get lucky and get one of the old filters, then great.  If you get a new one, I hope you like your water with a little whine. This filter has a large hole in the middle with two lines about 1/4 inch each on either side of it.  This company should not be selling the filters if they know there is a problem.


Took 10  minutes to install.  You'll need a std 3/16" nut driver and some dish soap.  Fixes the problem of water consistently pooling up on the floor in front of several whirlpool refridgerators.  GI6FARXXY07 is my model.  Started leaking water after 2.5 years of service.  Whirlpool sells the same part for $27 + $9 shipping.

1. Remove bottom slotted metal panel on rear of fridge.  Take care not to cut yourself on the thin stamped metal cover.
2. Remove existing drain tube and "duck bill" grommet.  (this is the problem)
3. Use dish soap on the OD of the supplied spacer and insert it into the new tube (instructions say to put it on the fridge first, don't bother)
4. Use dish soap on the ID of the spacer, and install onto the fridge drain tube.
5. Put the cover back on.
6. Move on with your life, knowing whirlpool saved $0.50 per fridge with an inferior design....


So, this is what life comes down to when you are 50 years old:  reviewing dryer vent cleaners while sitting at your kitchen table waiting for American Idol.  This is not what I envisioned when I was 12, I can tell you that much.  You kids who think it won't happen to you?

It will.  Sorry to burst your bubble.

That said, the product works great.  Our dryer pretty much stopped working and we were thinking we needed a new one, which was seriously going to eat into my plastic surgery budget.  One last shot before a trip to the appliance store was this Gardus LintEater.  My husband, who is not the handy one of the family, had to do the work as I have a torn labrum.  (Which sounds dirtier than it is - that's part of your shoulder.)  He, the clumsiest man in the world, had absolutely no problem using this.  I warned him to read the directions first, and he actually listened and followed.  He hooked it up to the drill, and away he went.  He got a bunch of musty, wet lint that had probably been up inside the wall since 1977  - probably consisting of bell bottom material and macram.

Now our dryer actually dries clothes again, and I can continue to save for my facelift. Thank you Gardus.


While the plug doesn't look exactly as advertised/shown, it is a cute little earphone jack plug that does the job. It fits in the 3.5mm jack in all my phones: iPhone 5s, Samsung galaxy 5 & 6, and galaxy tablet.

It does what it says - provides protection against dust, gunk, dirt, etc for the earphone jack. Its great when you aren't using your earphone jack/ while using Bluetooth to avoid any substances from getting in your phone while its stilling in your pocket or your bag.

Is it blingy?....not exactly but it does provide a bit of something to your phone. The 4 stars is based on the fact that the bling plug wasn't as shown and wasn't exactly blingy....it consisted of just the one large middle stone; the outer ring of smaller and medium stones was missing/or not added.  However it does the job!

I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. Free and/or discounted merchandise doesn't buy my admiration, love, affection or support. I can only give my honest opinion and save the fluff for someone else! All words expressed here are my own.


This hood was much cheaper than the ones in the local stores and just as functional and nice to look at.  I was able to mount it in about 5 minutes.  The wiring is exposed when you remove a protective plate (one screw) and you can either wire it into your wall or wire in a cord.  I chose to wire in a plug and it's working great!  The light is perfect and the fan is nice too.  It is very simple, on/off light and off/lo/hi fan.  The fan is functional but nothing to brag about.  One of the other comments on here said that it is not square.  I don't know it that's true or not.  It's a little flexible; it's made of relatively thin stainless steel, so you can manipulate it if needed.  Mine looks great installed.  I did have to push it a little in one spot on the right and use a dab of glue to get it to appear square, but it's a great improvement to my kitchen.  Cheap too!


I purchased this machine in January 2010, after about a year and after the warranty had expired it started malfunctioning. The agitator will start immediately on the wash cycle before it starts to add water, and then at the end of the spin cycle it puts a little water back in it, causing me to have to spin it back out again. I called Maytag and they told me the part was like $75.00 plus a repairman to come fix it would have been another $75.00, It will occasionally reset itself, so I didn't go that route but then it will do it again. This has been the worst experience I have ever had with a washer. I had a Kenmore for 15 years and never had a problem with it. This will be my last Maytag washer as I will be going back to get another washer and put this one on the curb, before it ruins all my clothes with the agitator dashing dry clothes.

Do not buy  this washer...I thought the name would sell a decent product...WRONG!


I'm very happy with this purchase, and may order more.  I received these quite quickly and well-packaged.  I tested them with a low-current 12V "wall wart", and all five work well.  Don't test these at their rated (or unlimited) amperage, like a car battery.  They will self-destruct within seconds if not attached to a good heatsink on the hot side, as they quickly reach the melt point of the solder inside them.  Yes, they get that hot that fast.  Lower current will work more slowly, preventing damage and possibly a painful burn.  A 9V battery would probably work well.
I've read reviews of this part number that said the hot/cold side varied in regards to the printing location, but on all of mine the printed side is cold when the red lead is connected to 12V+.  If you get variances with that, they're not defective! Just use a Sharpie to mark the hot side so you install them correctly for your application.


I did not purchase this item from Amazon, but I learned some things by ordering the WRONG part from another retailer, due to a confusing (and possibly incorrect parts diagram) for a Samsung NE58F9500SS/AA slide in oven.

This fan motor (part number: DG31-00005A) is the correct  motor for the LOWER convection fan.  It should have reverse threads on the shaft, since the fan blades turn clockwise. ( I cannot verify that this particular item has this feature however).  The sticker on the motor body in the photo (SMC-U386A) is correct for the LOWER motor that came out of my stove.

The fan motor for the UPPER convection fan should be part number DG31-00007C.  It should have standard threads on the shaft, since the fan blades turn counter clockwise. The sticker on the motor body should be SMC-U386C.

the two motors are very similar, but NOT interchangeable.  They CAN be disassembled, and the rotor/shaft direction switched to make them work if you screwed up and bought the wrong one like I did, but the original cap nuts won't fit since the threads will be backwards .....

switching them out is EASY if you have the right parts.  Hope that helps someone!!


I had to overcome my skepticism over how this machine works but I did a lot of research before making this purchase so no surprises. Watch the utube videos!!! They convinced me! It truly works for me and it's amazing how clean my clothes came out with just one half to one tablespoon of Method detergent for dirty clothes.  The size is perfect for me and I love that it's non electric. The design issues of the drain spout need to be improved upon. Yes it leaks when you push the spout in or remove it. The new cover with release works just fine with no leakage. I did a load on countertop with dish towel under unit. Not hard to turn this unit at all and I'm 65 years old! Next load this will just be put inside my shower stall to drain there and run down my gray water drain system. Why dirty one more article of clothing?!?? That's just making work. I purchased a manual over the electric mini washers because the electric machines had drainage issues also but for a lot more money. I wanted as few parts to potentially break as possible. I did splurge on the laundry alternative mega 22 lb load spin dryer and that's also a winner. This setup will save me over $1000.00 a year in laundromat fees! That doesn't include time and expense of driving 10 miles to closest laundromat!


OMG this thing makes so much ice.  I put it in my rv so that I could have ice for drinks and while I like ice, I don't have much freezer space to have a bag.  It takes but a bit of space however it is so worth it.  I kept ice for 5-6 peoples drinks no problem.  If you are mindful of how much water is in it, it can pump out so much more.

I was lucky to receive this product at a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. That being said, I always give my honest opinion and never give false reviews. If anything in my review was helpful to you, I would appreciate it if you would press the yes button below. I take my online reviews very seriously and really enjoy trying to help people's shopping experience in my spare time.  Also,  leave a comment if you have any questions, I will be more than happy to answer if I can be of help.


Check out other reviews both on Amazon and other sites.  Dacor makes beautiful appliances that do not work well at all.  They are poorly designed, poorly manufactured, and poorly serviced.  We purchased a $5,000+ dual fuel range two years ago.  The stove is great.  The oven is terrible.  It is too small, the handle is difficult to use, and the oven is very glitchy.  The control panel is very hard to use and it recently failed.  When we called "customer service" they politely told us that it was out of warranty and that they could not help us.  We had to get tough before they would agree to send us parts at a discount.  But then, the fun continued.  We could not find a Dacor service tech in our area.  When you pay over $5k for a range you expect excellent performance and quality.  We are disappointed.  We'll never buy another Dacor appliance.

They feel sturdy and well made. The rubberized body lessens the chance that they will fall out of your hand. There is a neck strap to prevent dropping them, too. I was able to clearly make out a car licence plate at well over 100 yards+ and my vision is far from perfect. I'd recommend these as a buy. This item was provided to me in exchange for an honest review


Had one of these in the compactor that came with our house.  It lasted about 4 years.  Got this name-brand replacement, and it lasted like a month.  The handles broke and, more importantly, it just got chewed up in the compactor.  The old one had the same problems-but after 4 years.

They either need to make these things more flexible or less flexible.  They are flexible enough that they tend to collapse when the trash is mostly empty.  Then, when the trash is later full, they tend to warp with the compacting.  Worst part is, after warping, they suddenly seem to be solid, and they want to keep their warped shape.  From there you have to manipulate them back into a straight shape--and start the process over again.

Update: Got a replacement, and it is holding up MUCH better.  I guess it's hit and miss, but with Amazon's easy returns, you know it will be fixed.


I had the exact experience as some of the other customers. The purchase transaction was OK and it arrived in a timely manner. However...

1. The sticker on the part is labeled "2198202", which is the required part for my Whirpool brand refrigerator.
2. Unplugged the unit, replaced the existing part with the new part, and put the unit back together (about 45 mins).
3. Inserted the knob and set it to the OFF position. Plugged the power cord to the wall outlet.
4. Turned the knob to my unit's recommended position (3). The unit started.
5. After about four hours, the freezer and fridge were abou 15F and 45F, respectively.
6. After about six hours, the freezer and fridge were abou 5F and 35F, respectively; should have switched OFF by now.
7. Turned the knob to a setting of 1, but the compressor kept going. Turned the knob to below 1, but not completely OFF. It kept going.

I messed with it for a couple of more days before I gave up. I reinstalled the old part (good thing I did not throw it away). While it is flaky, it somewhat works. This new piece of junk does not work at all. I suspect it is a cheap knock-off and not a genuine OEM part like the vendor claims.


I love this washer! I was not sure what to expect as I have never used a mini-washer before but I read and watched a lot of reviews and this washer does not disappoint. It has been cleaning my clothes better than the laundry-mat and I would definitely recommend this to someone who is looking to have washer and dryer capabilities in a limited space.

There was one thing I was surprised to read in the instructions and that is that you are supposed to only hook it up to the cold water? Um, no. I am not terribly picky about laundry - I don't separate colors and all that - but I do wash everything in HOT water. So, I have this running in a spare bathroom hooked up to the sink and I only run it HOT. I do, however, turn on the faucet only about half way so it doesn't build up too much pressure. When I was leaving it at full pressure with the faucet and it sat for a while before I went to turn off the faucet after the load was finished, it started leaking out around the apparatus that connects to the sink faucet. Since I started keeping it at only hot water and half pressure on the faucet, I have not had any other water leakage around the connection to the faucet. Love this washer and would buy this again!


Works great. I used it and an extension kit with extra rods to to clean a 21 foot long vent with a two right angle turns and it did a fantastic job with the adapter that lets you put the rod through and attach a shop vac. Got a TON of lint out, about a 5 gallon bucket full. Inside of the vent was left shiny and clean. Good for safety especially with such a long vent and to my surprise the dryer actually works quite a bit better now. On the auto cycle I used to have to run it again if I was drying heavy things like jeans or blankets/comforters etc... to fully dry things. Now it does it in one cycle and take about 25% less time to go through the auto dry cycle.

I was just wanting to clean out a potential fire hazard but it really does make a big difference running through a dirty vent vs. a clean one. Might be due to the long length of my vent but very happy with this product.


We have the Electrolux ICON 36'' Dual-Fuel Freestanding Range
We purchased this stove in 2012 to replace a fully functional Kenmore Elite, dual-fuel 30" stove that cost us $1200 in 2002. It functioned without fault for 10 years. We replaced it only because we wanted a larger oven. For the first 3 years of use it functioned satisfactorily. After a particularly messy turkey roast, during the holidays, we ran the "Clean Cycle". Subsequently the oven no longer worked as before. It took a longer time to reach temperature and did not sustain temperature properly. For the next year we have tried to get the stove working properly again, to no avail. This has involved purchasing an extended warranted, $522, from Electrolux and 4 technicians visits wherein the temperature control components were replaced twice. Subsequent use revealed a correction was not achieved (25 to 40 degrees F high) the ovens temperature continues to rise significantly above the set temperature, requiring 2 to 3 adjustments to achieve the desired temperature. Adjustments monitored by calibrated third party thermometer. Electrolux will only attempt further repairs: no replacement. Currently we are engaged in a frustrating negotiation with Electrolux to replace our stove. Not going to happen, they will only repair, until the extended warranty runs out.


05920 Hamilton Beach Humidifier Wick Filter

I have ordered these filters from Filters-Now.com before without any problems, but this is the first time I've ordered them through Amazon with Filters Now as the seller. Unlike the previous filters I've ordered, these have a very strong odor and don't have the same microbe coating as the ones from filters-now.com. The moment I inserted them in the water, they became soaked from top to bottom. Anyone who has had a good filter knows that the microbe coating keeps them from being drenched right away. This coating is essential to protect them from mold and to allow them to last a couple months. These are completely unusable and I wouldn't recommend them.


This was changed in addition to the thermistor. I was getting extreme temperature (-25 degrees) in the freezer and an ice build up in the drip tray and the bottom of the freezer. You have to remove the back cover that is located inside the freezer. It also involves removing just about all of the freezer drawer holders so the back panel can come out. The thermostat will be clearly visible. The part I received had red and black wires. The one inside the freezer had brown and pink. This was the right part as I confirmed the part number through other online appliance parts stores. This is simply a switch so it doesn't matter which wires get attached to which. The wires from the old switch have to be cut, stripped and then attached to the new switch by way of crimps or butt splices. Look online as there are excellent demos as how to do this even if it isn't exactly the model as yours. Right now my fridge works like new after replacing the thermistor and thermostat.


We live in FL and use the Danby mainly to store, bottled water, soft drinks and beer on our outdoor lanai.  Since we live in FL, the Danby stays on the lanai all year round and despite temperatures that are often in the upper 80's to mid 90's during a FL summer, the Danby has managed to keep everything nice and cool. The freezer compartment is pretty small, but it has a enough room to keep a few beer glasses chilled or ice cubes handy if that is your preference.  The general refrigeration area of the Danby provides ample room for plenty of the "liquids" described above and there are additional slots In its door for soda cans. The door storage can also handle some condiments when you are in the mood to B-B-Q.  The shelves in the main body are adjustable so you can set them to accommodate all sizes of bottles.  We've had the Danby about a year now and we've had no problems whatsoever with it.  Great product for situations that require a small refrigerator.


This spinner is perfect!
Nice size, quality product, and so easy to use.
Clothes comes out of the spinner with hardly any moisture left in them.
Some fabrics - such as nylon, polyester, high tech combination fabrics spin great.
I used the dryer while rving in my trailer - I'd hand wash the clothes then spin dry and hang them up to dry - it was great - saved going to the community laundramat.

It was fascinating to watch all the water that came out of the hose - just love this product.

One issue with a spinner is the loads sometimes get off balance - this spinner immediately balanced the load and was efficiently and quickly whipping the water out.
There is a short learning curve when you first use the unit - you need to drop the clothes evenly around the barrel.
I never overloaded the unit.
I hand washed each piece of clothing and then put that article of clothing into the spinner for 2-3 minutes while hand washing the next piece.
I was able to quickly wash and spin my clothes daily then hang dry them.
For larger items like sheets I sometimes took them to the laudramat just to dy.
The spinner took out so much water my sheets dried  really fast in the dryers.

Did not have any problems with the unit - it's a great product.


I have a 4 1/2 yr. old GE 18 cu. ft. frost free refrigerator (no longer under warranty).  First of all this part should not have gone bad in only 4 1/2 years.  The refrigerator handle also literally broke off in my hand not too long ago.  I will not be buying a GE product again however, that being said, the replacement part itself works fine so far and the horrible, loud noise that was coming from the freezer stopped with the new part.  I was able to do the work myself.  I suggest watching a you tube video, it helps even if it's not the same model fridge and be careful you order the correct part.  I took mine out first and got the part number off of it.  I wasn't going to do that but am glad I did because I was originally looking at a similar part and not the correct part number that was triple the cost.  I didn't have to replace the rubber grommets as was suggested by some folks.  It took about an hour start to finish.  We'll see if this part lasts more than 4 1/2 years.


So, this is what life comes down to when you are 50 years old:  reviewing dryer vent cleaners while sitting at your kitchen table waiting for American Idol.  This is not what I envisioned when I was 12, I can tell you that much.  You kids who think it won't happen to you?

It will.  Sorry to burst your bubble.

That said, the product works great.  Our dryer pretty much stopped working and we were thinking we needed a new one, which was seriously going to eat into my plastic surgery budget.  One last shot before a trip to the appliance store was this Gardus LintEater.  My husband, who is not the handy one of the family, had to do the work as I have a torn labrum.  (Which sounds dirtier than it is - that's part of your shoulder.)  He, the clumsiest man in the world, had absolutely no problem using this.  I warned him to read the directions first, and he actually listened and followed.  He hooked it up to the drill, and away he went.  He got a bunch of musty, wet lint that had probably been up inside the wall since 1977  - probably consisting of bell bottom material and macram.

Now our dryer actually dries clothes again, and I can continue to save for my facelift. Thank you Gardus.


Just got this yesterday and I was so excited to use it that I ended up washing 5 loads of laundry in it.  Combined with the Laundry Alternative spin dryer, it made my life much easier. It was bigger than expected but certainly welcomed.  I was able to wash 4 pairs of dress pants in one load and in another, about 6 work shirts with ease. One thing to mention, make sure you put it on a steady surface, preferably elevated or it might get to your back or arms. One thing to recommend is to put in a rubber ball or something similar to simulate the agitation process of a regular washer. It works fine without one as I started off without but it does help with the dirtier clothes.  Only complaint I could come up with is getting the machine to stay still on my stand as the suction cups didn't hold it down very well.  Well, I might have two complaints.  My second one would be the drain pipe did not work all that well. It did drain the water out but it didn't lock in place so I have to hold it.  It does work but it leaks a decent amount so make sure you use a towel under it if you run into similar issues.  Other than that, I love this little guy, already washed 2 weeks worth of laundry in a 1/3 of the time I would spend at the laundry mat.


My dryer decided to take a few days off recently due to a broken door switch. Most people would probably not consider this an emergency. Not so in my house. The HOA hath drecreed that thou shalt not have clotheslines in thine back yards. Unsightly, I would surmise. So, my wife puts plenty of wear on this necessity of clothes cleaning.

After having called Sears, with which I have a warranty, I was told that it would be 10 days before a repairman could come perform the needed repair. Not what I wanted to hear.

Now I'm pressing because the old adage "if mama ain't happy ain't nobody happy" came into play.

So, I begin cruising the internet for parts. And after awhile I said to myself, "Self, check Amazon. They have everything."

So, I searched Amazon and to what should my wandering eyes should appear? But a SWITCH, and then I chugged my last beer!!

The desired part arrived just before my wife did bodily harm and I have lived happily ever after.

POSTSCRIPT: The vendor (Deep Discounts Co.) is great, the part is economical and as advertised, and I can watch my sports programming uninterrupted


I usually wait a couple of months till I post a review. This give me a little time to put a product through the paces, but I use my dishwasher pretty often. Maybe 5 to 7 times a week. I did this repair myself with no difficulty. The item was packaged in a custom padded container. Probably some of the most secure packaging I've ever seen. Reading some of the post prior to my purchase leads me to believe the supplier went to great lengths to ensure their product arrived in pristine condition. In my humble oppinion, their mission was certainly accomplished. I then went through the motions to reinstall the pump and motor assembly. I used a YouTube video to assist me. I also used my cell phone to video and snap a few pictures for a "before & after" reference documentation. The end of my story... This items works just as good, just as quite as the original factory install. To boot... I saved myself a ton of money. My piece of advise is "Don't be scared", the water is fine, so jump on in and do this repair yourself.


Bosch Nexxt 300 Series Washer & Dryer
Pros:  Good looks, quiet functioning, cleans clothing surprisingly well, low water usage.

Cons:  Extremely long cycles for both washer and dryer.  Is the trade off for water efficiency really worth the power it takes to run for an hour+/cycle for both washer and dryer unit (not to mention my time!)?  There is no such thing as doing a quick load of laundry with this pair.  Secondly, the max spin cycle can send it waltzing around the laundry room.  A serviceman gave us four .50 rubber pads for the feet of the washer for a $40 service charge and they work with minor adjustments every several loads.  Ugh.  And lastly, and most significantly, there is a mildew odor to the machine that makes it the most offensive.  I for one do not expect to clean or have someone clean my washing machine or to spend a dime on a product to eliminate mildew as was recommended by the serviceman.  This is not the forever washer I had hoped to have upon ordering it and would never buy another front loader as the cons outweigh the pros. If you are doing your homework and reading this, good for you.  I wish I had done so.


I've had this for about a week now and seriously love it. We have a fridge with no ice maker and I finally broke down and bought this hoping it would be an ok substitution. It makes quite a bit of ice in a few short hours...I was able to fill a standard ice bin (you know like the ones that go on the door of a freezer) in a couple hours. One tray of water wouldn't even freeze in that same amount of time. It's also really quiet...about as loud as a small fan.

The downside, for me, is that the ice comes out of the machine pretty wet so when I transfer the ice to the freezer bin it all freezes together. While I'm making ice, every time I go to transfer ice to the freezer I shake the bin around to loosen it. It helped the first couple times but not so much this last time...not sure why. Do I love stabbing ice like a crazy woman to get suitable chunks? No. Do I love that I have a bunch of ice as compared to none? YES.


The inner box (from manufacturer) was marked as being manufactured by Whirlpool. The manufacturer's box was clearly labeled to keep upright, but it was placed into another larger box by Amazon that was not labeled. Therefore, the shaft of the transmission was beating the end of the manufacturer's box. Hopefully this will not lead to problems later. Fortunately, no oil leaked out of the transmission.

I installed the transmission and it fixed my problem with the rinsing spin cycle. My washer is a Whirlpool Design 2000 model LA6300XPW4 and the transmission fit perfectly. The pump cycle makes a bit more noise than I remember (transmission reverses for this cycle). Maybe my pump is getting worn or maybe this new transmission is a bit more noisy in this cycle.

Be sure to clear out the vent hole of the paint covering before installing. Even with the paint removed, I noticed that paint was still in the vent hole so I had to use a push-pin to clear it out.

All in all, it works.


We recently bought Kenmore Elite 30' Gas Cooktop from Sears in San Jose, CA. After less than 45 days, we experienced a low gas flame on our new cook top. We had a professional PG&E technician to test on gas leak and gas pressure. We still had a same problem with Kenmore. So PG&E technician redo every test again and suggested me to contact Sears and Kenmore.
Local Sears are only interested to sell and offered useless extended warranty.  The Sears technician needed to re-scheduled and clueless when he was on site for less than 10 minutes: no tool, only confirmed low flame problem.  To make matter worse Sears blamed on PG&E side. I told Sears to schedule another appointment with present from PG&E. It took 3 phone calls and about 3 hours to settle a small matter.
If God helps me, I hope to get a replacement of my new Kenmore cook top.  Sears only provides 30 days warranty and Sears owns Kenmore.

Bottom Line: Do not buy anything from Sears and Kenmore. If you can do a little bit homework and buy from Amazon: cheaper, far better protection and faster services. The Return Policy from Amazon is awesome.

One more thing: I had to picked up my cook top from warehouse and Extended Warranty from Sears is waste to money.


Two weeks ago my LG WM227hw washer stopped draining and displayed the dreaded "OE" error code.  After some research and initial trouble shooting, it was clear I would need to replace the drain pump.  I ordered this unit, and spent a couple of days watching videos on how to replace the pump until it arrived.  It's not difficult to replace the pump if you can operate a screwdriver and a wrench, but it does involve a fair amount of disassembly.  Replacement requires removing the top of the washer, control panel, and front (including the door) so you can access the pump.  All in all it's about 15 screws and three spring clips that have to be removed and replaced.  The whole operation took about an hour and a half.

This unit was a perfect fit to replace the existing pump, and once installed, has been working like a champ while we catch up on the back log.  While it's never fun to spend an afternoon taking apart a major appliance, $25 and a couple of hours work is a whole lot better than calling out a repair guy or buying a new machine.


Here some details to get at the motor for replacing carbon brushes on a Bosch Axxis washer:
The back part of the washer comes off without removing the top cover. You will need torx T20 bit to do so.
To disconnect the ground, in my case a yellow and green wire, I used a turkey pin to press into the eyelet of the male connector. Otherwise the female part does not come off, in contrast to all the videos you will watch. If this doesn't make sense, look at a spare male connector for the ground, you'll get it.
The main connector can be just pulled off. Somewhat counterintuitively, you will have to reach around the motor from the other side.
My only addition to all the videos that are around for replacing the brushes on the motor is that the springs get inevitably hung up on the metal housing of the brush. Unless you have the dexterity of a neurosurgeon, use the turkey pin to lift snagged spring windings off the terminals and into the "tunnel" that holds the carbon brush.
For reassembly, watch that the belt sits on the center of the motor shaft. It ain't naturally so.
One star subtracted for the somewhat exuberant price and the unavailability of Prime shipping. Good luck.


These are a great option if you like to protect your stove with foil wrap. We always used foil to protect our stoves from grease or food stains. Even when I got my own house, I wanted to protect my stove top with foil. But it looked terrible. Foil does not look great on a black appliance range. But this was a good replacement. All I had to do was trim the protective sheet to fit my gas range. It fits great. Measure before trimming to make sure you don't cut too big. Keep a mental note though, these feel like a thick piece of paper. They are not thick plastic or anything. So don't be disappointed when you see a thin package when you get this. They do the job and claim to be dishwasher safe. I haven't had to the need to wash these as yet so I can't say it works. Will have to try to know for sure.

UPDATE:
These are dishwasher safe! I love it. Makes cleaning easier because I don't have to scrap things off my stove while damaging it. I love these protectors. I cook a lot and mine haven't burned. It really depends on how close you cut them to your range.


Wow, I'm in love with this treatment, but it is mad expensive.  I have the 2 oz container and I've got about three more treatments before it's gone and I've got quite a bit of hair.  Still, I'm blown away by the price.
So, yeah, great conditioner.  My hair absorbed it.  I used my heating cap, but next time I think I won't just because the instructions don't instruct you to use heat.  Detangled quite well.  My hair felt very soft when the treatment was complete.  The smell is divine.  It is very sweet, reminds me of candy, but once rinsed out, the scent doesn't seem to linger for those not into sweet scents.  It's funny that I don't mind paying for the buttercreme but balk at the treatment.  Perhaps because it is a treatment.  Instructions say to use it once per week.  It has the texture of custard.  Did my hair feel siky afterwards?  No, not silky but soft and detangled.  Had I used a rinse, I would have gotten silky, but I was focused on strictly using Miss Jessie's products so that I could rate it properly.  I would purchase this again.


I used this to replace the motor in a Kenmore 90 series electric dryer a few days ago.  I was trying to correct a problem where the dryer was not spinning and was only giving off a low humming noise when I attempted to start it up. It has been running quieter than the original motor and the clothes seem to dry quicker now.

This was the first time I have replaced a motor in an appliance. I was happy with how easily it went in.  The only difficulty I had was  removing the blower fan.  FYI - after some trial and error I finally ended up having to use two 1/2" socket wrenches.  I connected an extension bar to one 1/2 " socket wrench then inserted the square end of the extension bar into the middle of the blower fan, Then I took another 1/2 " socket wrench with a 7/8 socket attachment and placed it on the belt wheel at the end of the motor. I held the wrench on the belt wheel straight and pulled the wrench on the blower wheel clockwise and it released.  It came off after a few seconds.

Edit - June 2014.  Motor died after 11 months.


This igniter is a good economic replacement for any brand name appliance. I used it in my G.E ovens broiler. It comes with a mounting bracket and (2) porcelain wire nuts. The mounting bracket fit exactly and lined-up with the (2) mounting holes in the oven. With some of the replacement igniters selling for $40 or more these are a bargain. I purchased (2) so as to have a back-up. This most recent igniter went out the day before Thanksgiving! (Yikes!). With Christmas around the corner I'm taking no chances. Installation is quick and simple: cut the wires and remove the old one, strip the old wires to expose the metal wire and twist a new wire to an old. Finally twist on the porcelain wire nuts. Check for a tight connection by gently tugging each wire; they should remain in the wire nuts and no wire should be exposed. Fasten back in place against the gas manifold. It sometimes takes as long as 90 seconds for the igniter to glow. It did for me and works well.


The dryer is used in conjunction with the portable washer Haier HLP21N.

My setup is in a downtown condominium where i was unable to install a dryer vent, and unable to run a drain for the washer. This setup is used for 2 active adults.

The washer does a great job, not a single complaint.. Look up how to get a quick disconnect system on the water supply line, this will make it much easier to use.

The dryer operates beautifully, it is normal dryer amount of noise. The clothes come out dry and smelling great. I would suggest running this to a indoor dryer vent similar to the ones that are normally purchased with this unit and recommended on the main page. The lint filter that is built in does stop most, but a little gets through. i don't want to deal with dusty laundry lint everywhere.

i would buy this item again, i would recommend it to a friend. we have been using it for more than 8 months now. Very happy!


Comes with free set of the proper induction rated 7 piece Stainless Steel & glass lid cookware.(9 1/2" Skillet- 5 quart casarole with glass lid -3 & 5 Quart saucepan with a glass lid each ) I now use it in my Recreational Vehicle in place of Gas cooktop. FAST-fries 2 eggs in cast iron pan from cold start in one min. Brings 1 Gal. pasta water to a full boil in under 12 min.without toxic carbon monoxide fumes - water vapor & waste heat from burning gas in a closed small space as the electronics directly heat only the pot not the glass cooktop or the air. Cooking easily controlled-turn down or turn off & cooking stops dead now !One must be careful not to use too high a heat setting-low to medium works fine most of the time. Can be set to cook by temperature ,but display is in degrees  Celsius.
Energy saver - works on 110v AC.I measured the current draw on high @ only 13 Amps AC. so will work on a standard outlet. Would be great for a small apt.
Arrived undamaged due to 4 complete layers of packing - GREAT!!!


We searched for a long time to fine just the right range hood and this one has everything we were looking for. We like the stainless steel look which matches our stove. The rounded corners at the front of the hood are a nice touch, no sharp edges to bump into. We also like the lighted blue LED buttons for the fan and lights. They give a high end look to the hood that goes with our range.
 The 4 speed  fan is quit in low and still puts out a lot of air. In high it really pulls a lot of air from the kitchen, but does make some noise doing it, not bad though for all the work it is doing. The only thing I would improve is the wiring. The wiring is not inclosed under the filters. The wiring goes from the back of the hood to the controls in the front in the open just above the filters. Should be a better way. All in all it is a well made range hood and we are very pleased with it.


Anyone who owns a SubZero can tell you what a headache it is when something breaks.  Where I live the only "authorized" dealer charges a huge service fee to just come out and troubleshoot the issue.  They don't even offer credit if you make the repair.  So when I saw that something simple like this switch on my 690 broke, I was determined to not have to spend a fortune to fix it.  The replacement of this switch is super easy.  Just turn the power off, remove the grill cover, and the switch is right up front over the door.  There is a protective metal cover over both switches that has to be removed first.  The screw is phillips and is on the back side of the cover...kind of hard to see, but you can feel around. After the metal cover is removed, unplug the light switch leads (yellow and orange on my 690) and use a flathead screwdriver to push the tab in while pushing down on the switch with your finger.  It will pop right out. Insert the new switch until the tab clicks into place.  Replace the leads (remember to see which color went where), and you are in business.  It is really that simple.  I saved myself a ton of money and headache waiting on a repair person.  Good Luck!


Came quick. Works Great. Easy to install. Instructions helped greatly, but it is always good to have a person to help you if possible.

I now live in Brazil and had my dryer shipped from the States. I could not find this kit locally, and resorted to Amazon. I wish it could have been sent directly here, but I had to send it to someone States-side, who then sent it through the mail.

The only issue I had was that it came with two identical (as far as I could tell) orifices marked with the numbers 54 and 55. The instructions said to use one or the other depending on whether I had propane or butane. I had no idea. The gas canisters here in Brazil are not labeled. I eventually opted to use the one whose threads fit just slightly better, (although both fit).

The install is very simple and very quick. You will need at least one other person with you to hold up the drum as you take the dryer apart and reassemble it.

One last note, as the instructions clearly tell you, be very careful. You are working with pressurized gas.


I got this dishwasher alert gadget because my wife and I have very different schedules and it is hard to keep track of the dishwasher status. I try to help out with dishes as much as I can so it is really helpful when I walk through the kitchen I can just glance at this baby on the dishwasher door to see what needs to be done. If it says dirty I can either load up some more dishes or just run what's in there. If it says clean I can go ahead and unload the stuff.

The easiest way that we've found to use this is when you start a new load of dishes just flip the indicator to clean. That way you can just go about your business and forget about the dishwasher. The next time you or your spouse is in the kitchen, the cycle will probably be done, and you can easily see that they are clean with just a quick glance. This indicator simply attaches to the dishwasher door via the included adhesive backing so it is ready to go in seconds. We love it!


Better than described! Jeans and heavy fabrics take about 2-3 minutes to spin out the excess water. Sheets and even normal clothing are ready for the dryer in 1-2 minutes. If hanging on a line, even 1 minute is enough for sheets. It can be a bit of a struggle sometimes to get the linen centered just right (especially for sheets and jeans), but it usually is not a problem. It spins super fast and takes very little electricity. It is built well and is a great addition to a mini washer. It only fits about a 1/4 of a normal load of clothes, but considering how fast it spins out the water, it is the fastest part of the washing process and no problem at all.

Beware...It is not a good drying option. I have tried many times to spin dry many loads of light, medium and heavy linen for up to an hour. The sheets can get almost completely dry and with a touch-up in a dryer or on a line would be dry in no time. All other linen will not get much more dry than after the first 2-3 minutes; ready for the line or dryer, but not to be folded and put away.

Best of all: it is compact and not made in China.


My husband and I were frustrated with our electric cooktop for several reasons and did not want to purchase another electric one.  We began to consider an induction cooktop as gas was not a possibility.  We read all the reviews, consulted Consumer Reports, and decided to try it.

My husband must have been more excited than he let on, as he had it installed within an hour!  We have had it about six weeks, and so far, we LOVE it.  The variability of cooking levels is  much better than our (good quality) electric cooktop and the instant heat is remarkable.  We live in Arizona, so the idea of less heat in the house during the long summer season is very appealing as well.  I (almost) look forward to cooking, as it functions so well.

If there are any negatives to consider, it would be that it is a little hard to see where the actual "burners" are and that we are still trying to figure out how to keep the surface as shiny and pretty as we would like.


We bought a Broan E6448TSS with dual centrifugal fans, and sincerely regret it. It sounds just like a helicopter taking off... next to a 150000-volt electrical transmission tower. The ELECTRICAL HUM NOISE is HUGE, and vibrates our entire house, NO MATTER WHAT SPEED is set. We thought it was the controller; but by isolating the fans, determined it is the fan motors. When we called Broan Technical Support, and said our brand-new E6448 was extremely noisy, the lady immediately responded: "It's a VERY noisy unit!" {So they KNOW it's a big problem!!!)

Bottom line:
It looks nice, and has:
Variable-speed fans,
Automatic heat sensor,
Three lamp receptacles (with difficult to insert lamps)...
BUT
We are not going to use our brand-new kitchen until we FIND A REPLACEMENT FOR THIS BRAND-NEW HUNK OF JUNK my wife unfortunately bought (before the first review).

UPDATE (7/'14):  We solved our problem by adapting our hood to control an external blower mounted near the roof -- see 4-star review at Broan Broan 336 Exterior Blower, 1500-CFM, 3.8-Amps, 120-Volt (Tools & Home Improvement).

I have had the same problems with the machine as everyone else in these reviews, and have had the machine serviced more than four times in the four years we have owned the machine.  Another major problem with the design of this machine is the exhaust fan for the unit is located in the upper, posterior roof of the machine which means it exhausts deep under the counter top.  That probably explains why I have had the exhaust fan burn out and the machine leaves a lot of moisture behind when it finishes.  When the first repair person came out she dis-assembled the front door to get to the fan to replace it (she was unfamiliar with the unit as most dishwashers have the fan in the door to get the moisture and heat out of the unit).  When she could not find the fan she consulted the repair manual and discovered it was in the posterior roof of the machine, well under the counter-top and thus unable to vent properly.  A strange, unfortunate design error.

I should have consulted the Amazon reviews before buying a machine.  I have learned a very expensive lesson.


Overall a very mediocre experience with this product.

Shipping took five days, which is not too bad, but since I payed three times as much for shipping as for the product itself, this seemed a bit slow.

The thermal cutoff was fine, but the hi-limit thermostat was not as pictured and had little in common with the genuine part it was intended to replace. The screws supplied did not fit their intended holes, making physical installation a hassle.

As for the electrical connections, the directions for installation were completely unhelpful and incomprehensible-- even now that I know the correct procedure, I still can't figure out what they are supposed to mean. Since the new thermostat didn't match the part it was replacing, it was necessary to cut two wires and crimp new terminals on, which was more than I, with my limited experience, had bargained for. You will need some expert knowledge or at least a good youtube video to make this part work; you'll also need a set of electrician's wire cutters/crimpers.

Ultimately the product seems to work, but I hadn't expected such a hassle. Those with experience, tools, and time on their hands will no doubt find this a bargain. All others would be well advised to look for a higher-quality product.


We had a dishwasher that was builder grade.  It was loud, but it cleaned our dishes.  We bought this dishwasher because we wanted a quiet, high quality dishwasher.  Well, it is quiet, but it does not clean the dishes!!
We called the store that we purchased the dishwasher from after 1 week, but they would not do anything for us.  They told us we had to call Maytag for any assistance.
Maytag's suggestions were:
* Run the hot water in the sink before we run the dishwasher to make sure that the water entering the dishwasher is hot enough to clean the dishes
* Use more dish washing detergent
* Completely rinse our dishes before we put them in the dishwasher (even though this dishwasher's description says, "There's no need to rinse off dried-on food thanks to the ToughScrub option and a powerful 4-blade stainless steel chopper.")
* Make sure we load the dishwasher properly.
So, for me, this means that I am stuck with a useless dishwasher for the next few years that cost way too much for me to have to go through all these steps for clean dishes!


Poor quality.  Replaced the two old boards in my Whirlpool refrigerator with the two new ones in this "kit"and the ice maker still did not work.  All analysis continued to indicate a problem with the ice maker control boards.  I then did a "mix and match" with the two old boards that I had removed.  First I matched the old emitter board with the new receiver board and the ice maker still did not work. Then I matched the new emitter board from this kit with the old receiver board that had been in the refrigerator and the ice make worked.  My conclusion is that the receiver board in this kit was defective. In a perfect world I would have returned this entire kit for a refund.  However, given that I now have the ice maker working I decided to just keep this kit for the emitter board only, rather than returning it and being without the ice maker for a period of time while risking another defective replacement.  I would not recommend this product

I installed this about a month ago and am extremely happy with it.
Our water is very hard (12-14 grains/gal).  We did not want to install a whole house water softener because of how they waste water and dump salt water into the sewer during regeneration.

With the newly reformulated phosphate free detergents, our hard water caused issues with chalky white film being left all over the dishes, glasses, silverware and dishwasher interior.  We were wasting time and water having to rewash, etc. to deal with the results from the lousy reformulated detergents.

Installation was easy.  After I installed the Dishwasher Filter, with one cycle, everything was completely spotless even when using the phosphate free detergent.  I also verified the filter was softening the water using water hardness test strips.  Prior to entering the filter, hardness was 14 grains.  After the filter, hardness was 0-1 grains.

The only thing I am concerned about is how long the filter cartridge will last before it needs to be replaced.  I am guessing three to four months but will watch and see.


Worked great for the first 18 months (thus the two stars) - and then like many other units purchased - it just died... apparently that is the issue with this model....  it gives you about 12 to 18 months and then one of three things happens, the sensor goes berserk, the control board fries or the entire circuit board dies... my issue was the entire circuit board... and as others have mentioned the seller not to be confused with the manufacturer... is easy to get a hold of and at least the customer service person I spoke to - does show some concern and apologizes for the issue... and quickly offers (as they know this product has issues) to send a replacement part... (3 year warranty)... but clearly the replacement part (at least in my experience so far is more of a gesture than a solution)... and while I'm not Bob Villa - I'm handy enough to do some minor wiring - I was told they would send me a video on how to install the replacement part myself - they sent an amateur jpeg that lacks any real helpful detail. The directions are very brief seem to leave out some important details... .. frustration is mounting...


This dishwasher functions as nothing more than an expensive sterilizer. Forget LG's claim that you don't have to scrape dishes: I have to actually wash dishes clean before loading them because (1) besides not removing any food particles, the heat also "bakes" any particles into my dishes, and/or (2) a fine grit covers my dishes, even when using a gel detergent. We purchased our dishwasher in July 6,2010 and I noticed right away that dishes weren't coming clean. I spent the first three months working my way through the user's manual and trying various detergents before finally calling LG. During the first service visit it was determined that the bottom spray arm wasn't working; the part was ordered and two weeks later replaced. However, the problem with dishes not coming clean continues, even after four service visits. LG's customer service is AWFUL. There's not enough space here to go into the details, but suffice it to say that I'll NEVER purchase another LG. The latest aggravation came today when an LG engineer blamed the poor performance on the government banning the use of phospates in cleaners. Frustrated. Aggravated. Mad. Life is NOT good.


We just ordered a new washer and dryer so figured what better time to clean the dryer vent. They have NEVER been cleaned since we moved into the house in 2001. I have about 22 feet of ducting So I also ordered the extension kit. I cleaned from the outside with the dryer running. Each rod is 3 feet and you stop and attach each rod as the previous rods are inserted..I wound using a total of 7 rods so I made it almost to the dryer itself. (The kit comes with a shield you can put on the dryer to prevent the brush from actually going into the dryer..I didn't use it). There's a 90 degree bend about 15 feet in and the rods navigated through it without issue. I was absolutely SHOCKED at how much lint came flying out as I performed the cleaning. You can be sure this is something I will be performing yearly from now on. Be sure to follow the directions carefully..especially the part about setting drill torque and rotation direction...you don't want anything to come apart in the vent. (Gardus will supply you with a rod retrieval tool if needed)


This range hood was installed in my kitchen yesterday. After much struggling, and a full day of effort, it took two grown men to properly install. It didn't come with bulbs, so those had to be purchased separately ($9.00 - $15.00 for a pack of 3). That's when the "fun" began. Each bulb's prongs must be precisely lined up with the slots and then turned clockwise. But of course, you cannot see the slots! And installing them after the hood is in place means having to bend yourself at an uncomfortable angle under the hood as you fumble to find the bulb slots. Be forewarned - it took almost two full hours to install the bulbs! Note, that the instructions direct you to install the bulbs last, but if you decide to purchase this item, I highly recommend that you install the bulbs before you bolt it to the underside of your cabinet. Oh yes, it has two speeds - low - which accomplishes nothing, and high, which sounds like a jet taking off. In short, the range hood is poorly designed and simply not worth the hassle that it takes to install.


This is exactly what I needed.  This is the one part that did not come in the Agitator Cam Kit that I bought from Amazon at the same time.  It came in an OEM Whirlpool package.  It has been working very nicely ever since I installed it.  And the install is very simply with a flat-head screwdriver and socket/ratchet.  Probably only took me 15 minutes total.

The last time I repaired this problem I only replaced the dogs, and the repair did not last very long (maybe 6-9 months).  Obviously wear in some of the other kit parts increases wear on the dogs as well.  I would recommend using the full kit for your model, such as "Whirlpool 285748 Agitator Cam Kit".  Just make sure you do your research to determine which kit is right for your model.  Another similar kit for a different model of washer than mine is "Whirlpool 285811 Agitator Repair Kit for Washer".


Most houses these days come with a standard size fridge (and the majority seem to sport the horrid side-by-sides that can't fit squat in the freezer section), so my husband and I bought our Gladiator a few years ago.  We never attached the ice maker and use it with the freezer portion on bottom and for extra fridge capacity on top if needed.  It's been worth its weight as we live in AZ with garage often hotter than 115 through several summer months.  This refrigerator allows me to do mega-shopping trips only once a month to stock and keep everything.  We've never had a problem with it and are very happy to have spent the money.  It is expensive, I suppose, for something kept in a garage -- but since it's held up with no problems for about 7 years, it's worth the price.  My SubZero in the house has had two repairs already in that same time frame -- and I paid a heck of a lot more for it.


I received my dryer just a few days after ordering it--very fast and more quickly than I expected! I live in a very small house and usually hang my clothes outside on the clothesline as I do not have anywhere to plug in a regular dryer.  This dryer is small and actually fits into a corner in my bedroom.  It drys clothes slowly, but works well. (If you put in a small dry piece of clothing in, the wet clothes dry faster!).  It is a 110, though, so drying time can be long and the heat doesn't ever get "hot", just warm.  However, since it's just me, it's fine. The dryer is very lightweight and easy to move from one place to another.  The only "bad" thing I really have to say about it is that the lint trap is on the BACK...terribly inconvenient, especially if you have the dryer mounted on a wall (mounting attachments come with dryer).  I still hang out a lot of things, but often, I throw my clothes in to remove cat hair and wrinkles. I also still take large blankets, etc. to the laundromat to dry but overall I'm quite satisfied with the product.


I had been buying the smaller, pre-packaged drop in tablet sold by the same brand. I found that these worked well, but needed to be changed often in order to be effective. I bought this on a whim, though I was a little frightened by the extreme safety warnings on the bottle.

When the bottle arrived, I followed the instructions to a T- and only used a cap full of the product per gallon as directed on the bottle. I made sure not to spill any of it on my hands or skin. Since my humidifier has a huge reservoir, I only have to change it once per week. After a week of using this product, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the filters were still clean and there was no buildup of mold or slime.

The only downside of this product is that after pouring in the solution, there is a noticeable chemical smell to the mist coming out of the humidifier. After a few hours, I find that the smell dissipates. I find that if I run the humidifier a couple of hours before I'm going to bed, the chemical smell is gone and doesn't bother me. Otherwise, I think this product is good and much more cost effective than the drop in tablets I had previously used.


I have a Kenmore 90 series.  I looked up the replacement part number from Sears.  I brought this one with the same part number, at a fraction of the cost, plus probably save me a hundred for labor.  It fits and looked the same.  If this switch fails in the future, I may just short the two outer wires to remove the safety feature.  Nobody ever really interested in going into the laundry room, and put their hands in the washer.

I suggest a new approach to trouble shooting by those who can't nor don't want to afford professionals.  Look at what is the most popular replacement part of your model.  This is it.  So I test if the old switch failed and it was.

When my last washing machine failed there was no Youtube.  I was surprised how easy it is to open up the machine.  It is a little more complicated and messy if you have detergent, fabric softener and bleach dispensers on the outer casing with tubes attached.


I wasn't surprised to see that OEM Samsung filters were significantly more expensive than aftermarket.  I was, however, surprised at the performance - or lack thereof - of these filters.  We have a Zero Water pitcher and use that as the standard.  We use an HM Digital ZT-2 meter to test for particulates in the water.  [...]I don't consider this to be super-scientific, but it allows you to compare one filter/faucet to another.  The 7 month old Samsung filter that I removed gave us a reading of 185 PPM.  I put the EcoAqua filter in, ran over 300 ounces through it to flush it, and tested - 241 PPM.  Then I tested pure tap water, right from the faucet - 257 PPM.  By contrast bottled "spring water" gives a reading <100.  It almost seems like there's nothing to these filters, so I'll be requesting a refund.  For that level of filtration, or lack of filtration, I'm actually better off leaving a 7 month old OEM filter in place than I am replacing it with a brand new EcoAqua filter.  Very disappointing.


My new review, less than 6 months after purchasing... The product did not arrive in official GE packaging. They arrived loose in a padded envelope. The product also has no product number or markings on it, which means it is generic, and not a true GE replacement part. I only needed one replacement strap, but bought 4 since I was informed to replace all of them. Thank God I kept my old straps. Not long after my orginal review I had one strap break. It left a rubbery black residue when I removed it, which I assume is from cheaper materials. Around the 2 month mark I had 2 more straps break. And, in the past week the other one finally broke also. Don't waste your money. I owned my washer for over 2 years with no issues with the straps until I purchased these. Also, when I purchased this (end of October 2014) it was only $8.99 so save yourself the hassle and buy from a different company. My original review: "I installed this product over a month ago, and they have been working great!! I would highly recommend purchasing from this company!"


Since 2016, Ive ordered these specific Samsung filters directly from the reorder in my cart amazonunfortunately something has changed and the filters no longer fit. I even checked if a cap was stuck (other users have reported this)thats not the issue. Please note the differences in the models.  The model in the right of the pictures (pink x on it) is the working model. They are clearly made differently and its visible. If you look closely the working model is imprinted 85-926...and the non working model doesnt have this. The non working model as AL29 on water filter sticker. Are these counterfeit or has Samsung messed up on their manufacturing?

Update: I wrote amazon regarding my concern of fake reviews left my negative review and my concern for those still unknowingly drinking from these counterfeit filters. I hope this will help someoneI went to Lowes and purchased an authentic Samsung filter it fits perfectly. Please don't try to save a couple of bucksits simply not worth your health.


We bought this 5 mos ago. 3 mos into our owning it, the washing machine portion completely stopped working. With a load of laundry trapped inside (door locked and wouldn't open). I called customer service immediately but it took over a MONTH for it to be fixed! I have a toddler plus a 8-wk old infant at home so we produce quite a lot of laundry. I tried explaining this to the customer service people, begging then, even at one point broke down in tears on the phone - it's hard enough having an 8-wk old baby let alone dragging your laundry to a laundromat for a full month bc your brand new washer isn't working! they clearly did not care. I got the same canned replies every time and there was no sense of urgency to fix it. I would never buy from this brand again! Oh also the lint trap in the dryer is much too small causing lint to get all over your freshly washed clothes - even if you clean the trap out with every load.


I have purchased one of the Emerson Ice Makers. I have actually had two of them. The first one as soon as I gave it several hours to settle I put water into it and proceeded to soak everything in my kitchen. Promptly returned it to Target and got a replacement. I was informed by the salesperson that this was a fairly common problem. I took the maker home and once again let it sit for several hours. Plugged the machine in filled with water, no leaks, ran for an hour or so made a bucket full office. I figure it was great. Put the machine in my 5th wheel and finally got to go camping 2 months later. Plugged in the unit filled with water and let it run overnight. Not a single ice cube. I had discarded the box and of course the receipt with it. Called Target and go figure no receipt no help. Tried to contact Emerson and their company response was return it to where you purchased it. No warranty help just return to the store. Emerson ice makers are a crap shoot. 50-50 chance on working. Stay away from them in my honest opinion.


This range has been great!  It is quite beautiful and so far, works as claims.  Because it is installed as a slide-in without an upsweep on the countertop, we needed to use the corner trim pieces.  This was never clear in any of the literature and information regarding the oven.  Thus, in the corners near the wall, there are two plastic pieces to hide the hole that otherwise would be there. (See 1st photo)  If only the oven had been designed a bit better to take care of that.  However, in the scheme of things, it is minor.  The center grill is absolutely great!  I will agree with other reviews that state the control panel is a bit too sensitive.  Every time I lean over the over to clean or adjust something, I hit the control panel.  Cleaning it is next to impossible without hitting one of the buttons.  Maybe in the future, they can come up with an on/off button for cleaning.  I have used most of the features on this oven and I love it.  Having two ovens is great, even for the two of us.  Would not hesitate to recommend this oven.  Second photo shows installed oven.  We have not yet completed our remodel, so there is no backsplash.


I bought these caps to cover small rust spots forming on the tips of our dishwasher rack.  We rent the home and knew the landlord would not want to replace the appliance.  But the rust was leaving spots on our expensive dishes.  I bought the pack of 25 caps only and glued them with a plumbers Goop product I already owned.  It worked fine, but I was short 2 caps in the packet.  The company immediately sent me the replacements, plus a couple extra.  Not many companies would do this.

Tips:  If you notice stains on your dishes, check the rack.  If you see rust, buy these caps or the cap and glue kit.  I recommend removing the dishwasher racks (easy) and inspect the entire rack.  If you notice wear on the joints/welds or main bars, buy the kit with the Ubergoop paint/glue.  Follow the directions to scuff and clean before gluing.  If your situation is like ours, you can save an otherwise good working dishwasher!


I picked this up hoping to fix the infamous F35/SUDS error.  Before buying this part I opened and cleaned out the drain filter and disconnected the drain line right where it connects to the drain filter.  There was one of my kids socks in there.  Definitely give that a try first.  After still receiving the error I went back to this video [...] and decided to replace the pressure switch.  Other FAQs on this issue say something about water getting in that line and messing up the chip.  Mine was dry and showed no signs of ever being wet.  So I was a bit worried it was one of the other parts that had the issue.  Luckily the new pressure switch fixed the error, and removing that sock also made a big difference in how well the laundry was getting cleaned.  It's disappointing that this one overly expensive part seems to fail on so many units.  Other than that issue my washer has been great (Maytag 5000 series).  Also props to Amazon for allowing me to upgrade my Prime 2-day shipping to next day for only $4 more.  My kid was sick and vomited on a lot of stuff and of course the washer decided to go out at the same time.


I can't compare the performance of this part vs. the original, since our used 'fridge came with our house, but it along with this part... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002ZNBY82/ref=cm_cr_ryp_sol_prd_image ...

...our bottom shelves don't hang down onto the crisper drawers anymore.  Since I consider this a vast improvement, I give the full 5/5 stars in this review, but, truth be told, I'm a little disappointed that both these parts bend slightly under the weight of a fully loaded shelf--not a lot, but enough to make me wonder if I'm going to need replacements.  (It could just be that we load our bottom shelf with all the heaviest items.)

Luckily, for a few bucks I can get replacements parts in 2-3 days if/when these break.

The items have been installed for 3-4 months seem to be holding up well despite the bending.


I bought this to replace an 11+ year old LG 2.3 cu. ft. compact all-in-one washer/dryer that finally shook itself to pieces. So far, this new model is much nicer! The "True Balance" feature of the new washer really does generate less vibration during the spin, and I have the unit installed on the 2nd floor of an old house with hardwood floors, so vibration matters. The old model shook the whole house at times, but I've been very happy with the reduced shaking of this one. It still does shake a bit, but much, much less than before.

We also had problems with the old model not drying well, which tends to be a problem with ventless condensing dryers. Even that is improved somehow with the new model. So far, everything has come out perfectly dry - without the need for additional drying cycle. Part of this could be because the new model is much bigger than our old one, and I think we had a tendency to overload the old one, which can decrease dryer performance.

Bottom line: I'm very happy with the new one so far, and glad I decided to stick with the LG all-in-one, despite some of the issues we had with the old model.


That is a lot for a washer and a dryer, so I hope you have a nice house and a family. It will last you a long long time. Its true that appliances like refrigerators and washer and dryer sets used to last a lot lot longer than today. But people are fickle, and like to change in midstream. I really don't know what happened to sears. The 1982 catalog was the last one they did, they were done in on Jan 16 1983, with the rest of the middle class. The problem with the washer and dryer is it takes too long too wash and dry, and the washer needs scrubby tools on the inside. Sears used to build everything. They had everything. They really need to bring back the Sears catalog despite being a powerful online overseas company, thats ok but we need to keep America strong, rebuilding sears may never happen, its just too expensive. I still have my 1982 sears catalog. Garry Hixon and Tracy Hixon


I have KENMORE ELITE fridge, Model-79572069212, that is compatible with Water Filter, product number ADQ36006102. I have been going without a water filter for months now because I refuse to spend $58 for the LG filter, which is the manufacturer recommended filter, that came with the fridge. When I was given the opportunity to purchase this generic filter and review it for a discounted price, I jumped on the opportunity. I love having the piece of mind, knowing that my family is getting clean, filtered water...and for a reasonable price. The water tastes normal with no after taste. This generic filter fits perfectly and installed quickly and easily. Just a word of advice from my mistake: you may have to take out a shelf to get the water filter cover lowered far enough down to install the water filter. Great deal for a great water filter...compatible with my Kenmore Elite fridge (79572069212) and filter (ADQ36006102).


Although I found the Brasscraft Braided Line to be of high quality:  I simply could not get the "garden hose" end of this Brasscraft supply line to adequately seal with my Bosch SHE863WF5N dishwasher for the reason outlined below . . .

1.  The Brasscraft brass inner shaft (integral with the 90 elbow fitting) runs entirely through the thickness of the rubber seal.
2.  My Bosch dishwasher has a plastic screen which is positioned inside the Bosch threaded male fitting and firmly held just below the thread initiation surface.
3.  When the Brasscraft female thread is tightened onto the Bosch male thread:  unwanted "hard" contact is made between the Brasscraft brass tube and the Bosch screen such that the seal cannot be "squeezed" enough to adequately seal.  See attached photos.

  There are several other elbow seal designs which do not have the inner tube material and where the seal is simply held in place at the outside seal diameter within the "garden hose" female thread (as shown in photo).  This style of elbow worked very well with my Bosch dishwasher.


I just updated my review from 3 stars to 5 stars.  I have never owned such a product, but we were getting quite a bit of food debris in-between the cabinets and the stove.  I ordered these, but apparently put them on facing the wrong direction.  When my husband used our wide gas burner, the flame reached the strip and melted part of it.  At that time, I realized we needed to face the narrow side toward the burners and the wide side toward the counter tops.  Within 24 hours of my first review, I was sent a new set of seals by the retailer.  Since we started using them, I have turned the oven to 500 degrees and there has been no change in the silicone.  We have also had no problems with the flames melting the narrower edges.  I also like how the silicone is soft and flexible.  I can easily run them under the water and wash them with a bit of dish soap to remove the grease splatters.  They were a bit long for our counter top but they cut very easily with kitchen scissors.  I have since recommended them to my mother as hers are not silicone and they slide all over her counter top.  These remain "stuck" because of the silicone. I highly recommend these!


There are over 100 five-star reviews on this washing machine covering all points: don't fill water to the top, use minute quantity of detergent, respect the load recommended; replace the brittle hose with another one. Ours is next to the bathtub where filling water and draining is a breeze. But even if you fill water leaving a space, agitation makes water splash out of the draining hose (that hooks on the machine during washing). I slimmed down a wine cork to the opening of that hose and voila, no more splashes.

Initially bought to replace hand washing. For those who wash in hot water, it can take up to 60C but not higher - otherwise it deforms the plastic cavity. We have taken this on vacations and it is awesome. Just soak in it the night before, and turn the machine the next day - after changing the water. Fifteen-minutes (timer) is ample time to wash a soaked item and the clothes come out clean. We run a cycle with vinegar to prevent water hardening. We have it since almost two years and happy of its performance.


This is a monster.  I'm 70+ & even though I can move this without any problem, the washer is a tangler just like my previous (Panda) was.  The spinner on it is awesome.  The hassle of not being able to connect it right out of the box without much frustration and ending up buying a new shower head to fill it with; a bucket turned out to be the easier option, but tiring.  The fact that it takes up a bit more room in my already limited space just doesn't make me want to keep this thing.  BE WARE.  I asked about a return (at my expense) and the offer of only an $8 discount to keep it is a joke.  Will continue to use my 13-gallon basket and my Washing Wand.  Does the trick with just as much exercise/labor involved.  Just much easier.  Very disappointed in this unit and the seller's offer of a whopping $8 discount to keep it.  I'm going GREEN next.


While not a permanent solution, it has improved the situation immensely.

I tried the blow dryer method. Took 10-15 mins and was fully effective. The blockage came back within a few hours of non-use. I tried the string trimmer line method and while it was a quick way to get rid of the blockage, it only took about an hour of non-use for the ice to return. The flaw with this trick is that the string takes up space in the tube which means there's less water to freeze so it happens more quickly.

The IceSurrender tool gets to the problem and because it removes all the ice, the line stays clear much longer with non-use. The first day, the line was clear up to the time we went to bed. It was frozen up in the morning so I used the tool again. The line was clear all day and did not freeze up over night.

I know I've got an ongoing problem that needs to be addressed, but this tool has reduced the time it takes to unblock the water line (it takes longer to microwave the water to put into the tool) and has kept the line clear longer than any of the other methods and that's because it's clearing out all the ice with the hot water. The other methods are unreliable when it comes to knowing you've cleared the line. This is the one method you can count on to clear the ice.


The cooler was double boxed so it arrived with no damge.  I had no intention on stocking it with 126 cans so I removed three of the shelves.  In this configuration I can stand mixers on the floor of the cooler, I have wine bottles laying on their side on the next shelf and beer bottles and canned drinks can stand upright on the third shelf.  This meets our needs perfectly.  I have the temperature set at 6 (out of 7) and it is keeping our drinks cold.  The  light does have to be turned on manually, it does not come on automatically when you open the door.  The cooler is a little noisey when cooling.  It is not loud and doesn't interfere with watching TV but there is a noticible hum.  I don't consider it a problem but others might.
The cooler is not meant to be an undercounter built-in cooler,although I am using it as an undercounter cooler. So far it is working just fine.  The space it occupies was for a larger unit so I think there is enough space around it and behind it to dissipate the heat.
We are very pleased with this cooler; with the way it works, with it's looks and it's price.


So glad to have the best filter in the frig.  No comparison to comparable filters. Takes out much, much more toxins. Love it.
UPDATE: It has been almost a month and the red light indicator to change the filter has not turned green since installation.  This has happened before when the filters were not genuine G.E. filters.  I am wondering if it is not genuine, or if it is a faulty filter.  So, because of this issue, i have lowered my review from 5 stars to one star until such time as a representative from the seller will contact me and make good on my purchase.  I was so happy i had a genuine G.E. and now I'm.confused and hope I'm.not poisoning ouselves.
IN ADDITION, my purchase was on March 14, 2018, I am writing this today, April 10, 2018.  I don't know why amazon posted October of 2017, as the purchase date, as that is incorrect.
If i have to return this, i will have to buy bottled water for days until i get another  filter.


This is the 2nd unit that I have had in the last 3 months.  The first one made loud noises, and guess what this one does after the 30 day guarantee, at about the 70 day mark, yup, you guessed it, makes loud noises, and doesn't cool.  It is a big paper weight now, sitting in my house, not chilling my stuff!  Now I must find out how I can get a refund, or something.  This unit SUCKS!  I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND purchasing this item.  It will fail on you, and you will be stuck with a unit that does not work soon after receiving it.  The first one died on me within 20 days.  This one just took a little longer.  They did send me another replacement unit, but now it's been 70 days, and I'm pretty much out of luck it seems.  Hope to find out something about this unit for refund, not replacing this time around!  DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!


We have about 25 feet of vent pipe (Dumb if you ask me).  My new dryer was not drying at all.  However, after ordering, watching videos, and reading the instructions.... I am super happy to say... HOLY COW the lint we cleaned from the vent line.  I am not kidding when I say it was literally a shop vac full.  This process did take some time, but only because of how my venting system was designed.  We did get into the attic and pull the pipes apart to continue cleaning.  And then on the roof where we found a complete blockage. We would not have discovered any of this without this tool.  I am happy to say that I love my dryer now!  It is amazing how fast things dry, and I am completely amazed at the amount of lint that we removed.

I HIGHLY recommend this product.  I promise after you see the fire hazard of lint that you see after using this product, you will be cleaning once, maybe twice a year.  My BF doubted that this product would get the job done.  Let's just say he and my dad were very impressed.


While this is a perfect replacement as far as fitting my dishwasher, I only give this one star because this part as well as the original part that came on the dishwasher needs replacing at least once a year. We really have no other choice but to keep ordering this replacement part if we want to use our dishwasher. The plastic prongs that hold it to the basket break off after normal regular use. They get brittle and just pop off. You know you have lost one when you hear a grinding noise as the prong goes through the disposer of the machine. One time a prong clogged the pump opening and dishwasher would not run. My husband had to take the dishwasher apart to clear it. This is a very poor design, one which most owners of this dishwasher experience and complain about. You would think Samsung would get with it and make a replacement of metal so we don't have to keep fixing this problem. Due to this issue, I will not purchase another Samsung dishwasher until they solve this problem once and for all.


I finally saw what the other reviewers meant when they said that the connections were a bit different. This isn't that big of a problem because the baggie they send it in also includes a piece with two terminals (gold piece in the picture), you can just cut off the old one and, strip the wire and  crimp the new one in, and now you have an extra terminal you can connect the included jumper wire to, to complete the connection to the heating element. I also had to rotate it to make it fit, and find an extra screw to make it solid (previous thermostat only used one screw and was installed vertically, but I installed this new one horizontally, making use of both screw openings). This is actually a bit more solid than the way it was before.

My only complaint is that the terminal they included (gold piece) felt a bit soft and flimsy, like it was going to break while I was connecting everything together, but thankfully it didn't.

Aside from all that, the actual components have been working pretty good for a past few days, no problems thus far.
