I purchased the duet washer and the matching dryer 3 years ago.  I spent over $1000 on this washer, which worked fine for about 2 years.  Then, we began getting random error codes on the display.  We'd unplug it and plug it back in and that seemed to work for a while.  2 weeks ago, the error codes F70 and F71 appeared.  The washer quit working altogether and locked our load of clothes inside.  I was able to find a trick to resetting the system to at least get our clothes out of the water. However, nothing worked in getting this machine operational again.  I called whirlpool customer service and they offered A&E Factory service as a qualified repair shop and set up a service call.  The tech came out 4 days later, which is a long time, but OK if he got the machine working on the first try. He did not.  He needed to order a part. In the meantime I'm out $270 and I still need to go to the laundromat.  The part arrived 3 days later.  2 days after that, the tech got back out to my house and installed the part.  Same day, 4 loads later, F70 pops up and the washer shuts down.  I call A&E back to complain and schedule a re-call. They tell me I can't schedule another call today because my ticket's still open (!!!!). I need to call back tomorrow.  So I call back the next day and they can't get someone back out until a week later. I demanded quicker service and was denied by an unhelpful rep. I explained that the tech was going to take a week to get back out to my home and would likely need to order another part, which would be another week on top of that, which was unacceptable. The rep didn't offer me anything but insincere apologies. So, I called whirlpool back to complain about A&E and they told me I was out of luck.  If A&E couldn't bump up my call, there was nothing they could do to make them move any faster. I'm still waiting for next Wed (today is Fri) to have a tech come out and tell me that he needs another part.  So, to sum up, don't ever buy a whirlpool ANYTHING. Other reviews on this unit have VERY similar problems. You might be lucky and have a unit that won't crash on you, but if you do need help with a defective unit, prepare for a month of laundromats and uncaring customer service.


I don't normally write reviews, but I'm compelled to warn others against buying this washer or the matching Maytag dryer.

To preface this review, we owned a Maytag Neptune washer and dryer (about $2800 together).  The dryer was perfect, but the washer died many times and after the warranty was up the repair bill would have exceeded $800.  There was a class action lawsuit about these models but we missed the deadline.

The sales guy told us that the Neptune fiasco drove Maytag almost out of business and it was purchased by Whirlpool.  We were told to not expect any more problems with Maytag as Whirlpool makes great applicances.  This has turned out to be laughably inaccurate.

First off, the washer is LOUD.  On spin when new, you could not have a conversation next to it.  Compared to our new Samsung or the old Neptune, it was easily double the noise level.  Even during the normal wash cycle you could hear the clothes rattling around.

Both the matching washer and dryer have one very annoying function; on both, you have to hold down the 'start' button for 3 seconds before it starts.  Doesn't sound like a big deal but it gets very irritating after a while.

Lastly and most importantly, this and other matching maytag washers have a defect in the bearing.  Ours went out at 8 months and the part is on back-order for weeks.  Other reviews mirror our experience.  This is a common problem with these Maytag washers, the parts to fix are NOT available for weeks even under warranty, and the replacement part is the same as the part that went out.  This means it will be YOU paying for this fix after the warranty is up.  If you bought this washer and the spin cycle keeps getting louder and louder or you are hearing 'pops' from the washer then your bearing is on the way out.

In regards to the dryer, our first dryer vibrated so badly empty that it sounded like we were drying 12 pairs of shoes.  It was exchanged for another and it vibrated only slightly less.  Our previous Neptune Maytag dryer was almost dead quiet, and now our new Samsung is the same.

After the Maytag Neptune fiasco and this washer and dryer, we are done with Maytag and Whirlpool (which owns and makes Maytag).  It's a shame as they both used to be great manufacturers of great appliances.


Great product but they need to include more rods in the kit. I had to buy a second set of rods and that still wasn't enough so Ill end up spending $60+ dollars on this kit which isn't terrible if you factor what you would get charged out in town, but still, its plastic rods with a brush attached....thats overpriced for something so simple.

So enough of me complaining about it being overpriced and get to the review. It works GREAT if you aren't an idiot and use common sense when using it.

1.  Always CLOCKWISE..... again always CLOCKWISE, I cant be anymore clear about this.
2.  Use electrical tape or duct tape as a backup in case you screw up on number 1 above. Its a good safety measure so just do it, it only takes a few seconds per rod to wrap in tape.
3.  Feed one rod at a time, taping each one as you go.
4.  Dont force the rods if you get resistance with the drill attached. If you get resistance, remove the drill from the rod and using your hands wiggle/shift the rods until you get past the resistance and then reconnect the drill and continue. Most likely if you reach resistance is likely one of two things. (1) You have a large bend in your duct or (2) you have a lot of blockage. If its number 2, start pulling the rod out (with or without the drill attached (if the drill remains attached, remember to always spin  CLOCKWISE) as youve probably hit a patch of lint clogged heavily in one area. Pulling the rod out will likely pull a large portion of lint youve broken loose out with the rod and brush  attachment so vacuum it up or blow it out if you have a leaf blower and then start again (I didn't disconnect rods during this step but I did take my time to hand feed the rod and brush back in to ensure I didn't damage the rods).
5.  Once youve reached the end of your vent, start pulling your rods out the same way you went in (CLOCKWISE) so that you catch any debris you might have missed on the initial cleaning.  I pushed the brush through 2-3 times in total from different sides of the vent since I was short a few rods and used the leaf blower 4-6 times in between to ensure I was pushing any lint to the exterior of the house (never blow the leaf blower into the house, only blow to the outside of the house unless you want a HUGE mess in your house.
6.  Lastly, Id recommend using a face mask/respirator mask as this stuff is messy and you don't know whats growing in it. I had some cheap carpentry mask but will use a better version next time I clean it as its not fun to breath in.


This is the best gas range that I have ever owned. I've had it for a little over a month & it cooks just as beautifully as it looks. It is gorgeous and I love inviting my close friends over to ohh and ahh at it with me. The oven interior is a beautiful blue color making me want to keep the oven light on so I can walk into my kitchen and admire its beauty throughout the day, but to save on energy I don't. I cook more for my family and we now eat more meals at home so it might be making us healthier people plus I think its making my food taste better or I'm now a better cook, but that's just a theory...There are some minor issues that I've had with this range. The cooktop while fairly easy to clean can get scratched very easily. The cast iron grates if not laid on the cooktop just right can scratch it. Which can be a problem because in order to clean it they must be removed and are not the lightest things but they can be replaced without scratching but you usually don't realize this until after you've already scratched it somewhere. One other thing is something that I learned a trick to & its a thing that many other reviewers complained about; the right front burner takes some time getting used to. I have found that in order to prevent it from "poofing" loudly and at times quite scarily, is that once the inner, recessed  burner under the glass is lit, which usually happens instantly as with the other 4 burners, immediately turn the burner to the setting you want and the outter flame ignites without a problem or without the scary explosive sound. I tend to use this burner often, as I'm usually cooking for 5 or 6 so its used with a larger pot or skillet which I think its designed for. Oh and one other issue, which is actually something I may contact Electrolux about is that right below the wave tough control board just as it meets the cooktop there is a bit of metal over hang that is actually very sharp. Once when cleaning the cooktop at the rear I cut the top of my hand on it pretty badly, similar to a paper cut when opening an envelope but worse & deeper due to the stainless steel. It would seem that something like a heat resistant silicone covering could be placed over it or at least a warnig in the the user manual. But to eliminate this issue I just ensure that I always wear gloves when cleaning the rear of the cooktop. Don't want to slice my hand open again. But even still I love this range and hope to have it for a very long time.


This washer was DOA (dead on arrival). Bought it with the intent of shipping it out of the US so I did a lot of research and read countless reviews but when I hooked up the washer, all I got on the LCD screen welcome, a beeping sound and occasional flashing of E91 (error code 91). This meant that there could be problem with the control board, or user interface, or both. Apparently this washer was tested before it was shipped to me and I made sure it remained in the original packaging and made sure it waas well protected during shipping to the final destination.
consumer reports and numerous customers rated this washer highly so I never envisioned going through the hassle of getting new parts even before doing asingle load of laundry. Because the washer is located outside the US, I have to cough up almost $300 to buy two parts that may help the washer to function. I was hoping Electrolux would have offered to give the parts to me free of charge since I bought the washer in January this year. This washer may be awesome to look at but my experience has been terrible. I will definitely update if the new parts make a difference.
So I finally got the parts and the machine won't work. I got three different service men but they all told me the same thing. The parts I ordered were the wrong parts. I bought these parts based on recommendations of electrolux employees.
fast forward the story, I call them again to let them know that I need to return the parts they sent me in exchange for the right part. That's when the real HORROR began. A customer service rep raised her voice at me for no reason. I then asked to speak with a supervisor and she told me the supervisor was on break. I called a few minutes later and the experience was no better as I was transferred to a number which rang several minutes before saying they were closed for the day and that I should call back within the hours of 8am to 8pm on the next business day. I had called on a business day and the time I called was 5:30pm.
my wife called them two weeks later and the story was no different;  rude customer service reps and uncaring supervisors. .
IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING BUYING THIS WASHING MACHINE, PLEASE DON'T.  BUY A BRAND LIKE GE, LG, MAYTAG,  OR SOME OTHER BRAND BUT DEFINITELY NOT ELECTROLUX. BECAUSE IF YOU ARE UNLUCKY TO GET A LEMON LIKE I GOT, YOU'LL HAVE TO KISS ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS GOODBYE.
Am I bitter? You bet, how can I spend over a thousand dollars to buy a washing machine that has turned into a white elephant without doing a single load of laundry?


This is the exact replacement for my "defective" Whirlpool Ice Crusher/Bucket.  My Whirlpool Gold refrigerator is less than two years old and I noticed some white powder clumps floating in our drinks.  I picked one of the clumps out of my drink and found when I pressed it between my fingers, it was a white powder floating together as a clump.  I checked the water coming out of the refrigerator door and it was clear, so then I checked the ice.  That was the problem!  Turns out, the white plastic "sweeper" that pushes the crushed ice/cubes into the chute was grinding the bottom of the ice crusher/bucket into a powder and dispensing it along with the ice.  I contacted Whirlpool to see if there was a recall.  No recall.  They offered to send someone out, but made it clear it was not a warranty issue.  $$$  They connected me to a parts distributor that wanted $150 something for the part and then shipping.  I found some other more reasonable options online and then found Amazon had it for under $118 with Prime Shipping.  It was packed well, the assembly was wrapped in bubble wrap in a box within a box with shipping paper.  I simply washed the bucket, let it dry and then set it in place of the old ice crusher/bucket.  Works like new.  I just hope it lasts.

I didn't give it five stars, but only because I suspect it will have the same issue after a short amount of usage as it looks to be a genuine "Whirlpool" part.  Any issues I have are with Whirlpool and not Amazon!  I plan on hanging onto the old parts and if this one wears like the original, I'll replace the auger, auger screw and add a nylon washer under the sweeper to keep it off the ice bucket bottom.  It's not like I have half a dozen kids grinding out ice all day long.  This is clearly a Whirlpool problem and I'm just glad Amazon has this part!

Update 10/2014: All I can say is Whirlpool really messed up the design of their ice storage/dispensing system.  Mine is constantly freezing in the chute and clogging.  This causes me to remove the ice bucket, which is also frozen to the shaft.  The pressure necessary to free the shaft from the ice bucket is what I think is causing the crusher to shift and scrape plastic into the ice as it is dispensed.  I'm now using graphite spray on the shaft and connector to make it release easier, but frost and ice buildup shouldn't be happening.  Really a bad design.


Bottom line:  30 days later, lots of loads later, and our dryer is humming away - with hot air!  Perfect fit, and delivered a couple of days early.  (The longer version of review follows) This was my first time taking on a major appliance.  Diagnosis of problem was hardest part - everything seemed to be running/working fine, if wet clothes don't bother you.
Figured out no heat was the issue. On that note, removing this component isn't very hard and it may confirm your problem early without any need for electrical current tester (I didn't do this first).  For instance, if you pull it out to inspect it, and pieces of metal coil are crumbling onto the floor or broken off, thats a problem.  But, learning to use a $15 circuit tester isn't too hard and may come in handy down the road.  Almost ordered just a "fuse"; but, when testing the heating element for a closed circuit they say disconnect all the wires from the Dryer Element box - they mean all (top and bottom areas).  I got a (false) completed circuit reading on the element the first time.  Re-read directions, realized my error, and knew Id found the problem.  It was easily confirmed when I pulled the shield away from the dryer body - pieces of wire coils tumbled out.  I ordered and received the part a few days early and in great condition.
Strongly recommend you search YouTube for video if you are a first time Do It Yourselfer.  You'll probably see the person in video using gloves.  Do it.  There are MANY hidden rough edges and you will nick yourself.  The dryer element was a direct fit.  The hardest part was getting the "thermal cut off" removed from the old one...  But, since I'd read up on possible points of failure, I had already opted to replace the Thermal Cut Offs (sold in a pair) and the Fuse since I was "in the neighborhood" (these parts tested okay.  However, they are relatively inexpensive; and, apparently, common points of failure  so I considered this to be preventative maintenance.  Even if you buy new Thermal Cut Offs, I suggest you remove the Thermal Cut Off from your old dryer element box - it will give you a good idea how to install your new one.  This will make more sense what I mean when you see the way it "clips" in on one side.  All in all - this part worked out great and brought me success - so, now I can add (VERY SLOW) Clothes Dryer Repairman to my resume.


Do not purchase if your ceilings are over 8  feet!

Before purchasing this unit I emailed Shoprangehoods.com inquiring about an extension kit.  They would only call me, I could not call them.  I was informed that it was easily done and once a purchased the unit to email them back and they would give me information about the extension, this should have been me first clue that perhaps this unit work not work for my kitchen. I went ahead and purchased the hood well in advance of when is was to be installed to be sure I had proper bracing, venting and that the electrical outlet was positioned correctly.  Unit seemed fine; even though I had read the lights were not the best my wife said they would be adequate.  At this point I emailed the company back to purchase the extension kit.  The price, $65, included shipping and as promised the extension arrived within a week. This is where the problem starts.

The extension is just another lower unit, this piece is supposed to fit inside the lower unit that came with the range hood. But it is exactly the same size, by design there is no way one could fit into the other! So again I emailed Shoprangehoods.com asking them to again call me.  I asked the person who called how this was supposed to work?  They told me some cutting and bending would be needed for them to fit but they had not instructions on what to cut or bend to make it work.  Im guessing they have never tried to put them together.  I was told that there may be videos on YouTube that showed how to do it, and they would look and if they found any they would send me the link! Of course I never heard back, I had already looked for information but hey  thanks for the helpful tip!  Good thing I did not pay someone to put this think up.  My builder specifically excluded rang hood installations since hes had so many issues, I can see why.

Avoid this cheap junk and resign yourself to the fact that you need to spend a lot more to get something that has better lights and is designed to fit. The manufacturers claim that with the extension it can be installed in a high ceilinged kitchen is not totally truthful - it can be done but it will look terrible. Perhaps it could be done if they had a piece that was designed as an extension, instructions would also be helpful. Im now looking into having a piece custom cut to fix the chimney, depending on the price I may resell this unit and buy a good one.


We purchased our Danby beverage center in Nov. 2011. We shopped a long time for the right one for our small family room area (12 x 20) and found this Danby to be the best product for the price. We had a little bit of an awkward space to fill under a granite countertop and our selections were between this unit and a Frigidaire, which was shorter by a few inches. We would've settled for the Frigidaire if the Danby didn't fit our space, but we were very happy we didn't have to.

One of the biggest selling points for us was the noise, or lack thereof. If our room is completely silent, you can barely hear the fan running. At first, when it was setting temperature, the fan would run, then turn off, every 7-10 seconds. We had read other reviews that listed this as a problem. However, once the desired temperature was set, it ran less often.

This unit is in a room where there is a fireplace directly across from it. The fan does run more often when the room is warmed by a fire, but we saw this as a pro, not a con. We want our beverages to be cool when the room is warm, and because the fan noise is so minimal, it's not an issue for us. When there is a little bit of other noise (ie, a TV on), you can't hear the unit at all. We actually wondered if it was still working! (It was.)

It's very spacious inside. It fit everything we expected and then some. It's a bit tricky with taller bottles, but adjusting the shelves is a nice feature. You just have to make the very top shelf kind of short and the second shelf a bit shorter, too. Then it all fits. We put plastic water bottles on their sides on top and then were able to stand up the beer bottles and 20-oz soda bottles on the 3rd shelf.

The blue LED light was a great selling feature to us. When it's on, it gives the unit an upscale look.

We've noticed that it holds a steady temperature of 44 degrees just fine, which is perfect for beer, soda and water. We keep only a few bottles of wine on the very bottom and while those should be properly chilled at a higher temperature, we prefer our wine pretty cold. It's just our preference.

If this unit has a downside, I'd say it's the plastic wine sleeves at the bottom and the construction of the shelves. If you don't move them around a lot, they should last, but in the store, we noticed that they were falling apart-- probably from too much use. We hope ours last!

We highly recommend this beverage center! Danby did it right with this one.


My husband, the chef in the family, wanted this particular model and no other. We purchased this product in mid September 2011 and it was delivered by the end of the month. Within one month, we were already having problems with it: error codes occurring during the middle of cooking and having to turn the breaker off and on in order to continue cooking. By early December, I was at Lowes trying to return it. I was told that there was only a 30-day return policy on appliances, however, luckily I had purchased the extended warranty. In January 2012, the entire control assembly for the stove had to be replaced. A couple months later, during cooking, suddenly water would pour out over the right side of the control panel from inside the top of the stove! I don't know if condensation was building up or what, but I started keeping a camera on the video mode at ready in the kitchen to prove to the repair tech's that I wasn't crazy and that yes, it was possible. They finally came out, tore the entire top off and I don't know if they sealed it better or what, but it hasn't done it since then. Then last week, while baking brownies in the oven, the display panel started flashing an error code that involved the stove--and I wasn't even using it at the time! If any one else has one of these ranges, they understand that when an error code is displayed, it is accompanied by an incessant beeping noise. Therefore, while I have now been waiting over a week now for the new control assembly to arrive (the second one in less than a year), I still cannot use the oven/range at all and I still have at least two more days to wait. Bear in mind, I take very good care of this range and even the repair tech told Electrolux rep's that after 8 months, it still looked brand new. Yes, they had inferred that I was mistreating this range. After three repairs for the same part, this range will be "lemoned out" and since I still have over 2 1/2 years to go on the warranty, I'm pretty sure that is going to happen. I'm only hoping that by then Electrolux has fixed the problems with this unit and I get one that I can actually rely on. Even then, I still wouldn't do without the extended warranty. I now consider these a must for any so-called "smart appliance". One more thing I never learned about till after I purchased this unit. This unit will constantly vent air from the front while the oven is in use. I assume this is to stop the glass top from breaking or possibly damaging circuitry. It is very annoying, especially when one is in front of it and trying to cook on the stove at the same time.


I purchased this ice maker to replace one in my Frigidaire side by side that stopped working.  The original ice maker was just shy of 7 years old and got a good deal of use (we have a family of six, consume a lot of ice in water and juices, and have a fair amount of family parties.

The part in my Frigidaire PHS69EHSS fridge was #241709801.  This replaces that part.  It was identical in every way and what arrived was an OEM part.

If you aren't sure what part you need, the original Electrolux/Frigidaire ones generally have the number on it on the side.  Not the best place.  I had to stick my cell phone in to snap a photo to be sure of the part #, or I could have removed it (a 2 minute job)

The box was well packed and included the ice maker, fill cup and the white plastic guide which fits on the metal arm of the ice maker.  It does not include any shield which you may have fitting on the bottom of the ice maker.  That is considered part of the refrigerator, so if you have such a shield save it!

The included instructions were simple to understand.  It includes how to install the fill cup, but mine came installed.

Removing the old ice maker and installing this was a breeze.  After removing any shelf which might be in front of your ice maker, use a 1/4" nut driver to loosen (NO NEED to remove) the two screws on which the ice maker hangs.  Then lift the ice maker off so you can reach behind it.  Disconnect the white connector by releasing the snap guides on each side and gently pulling.  When installing the new ice maker, just reverse these steps.  The cables on the connector are color coded, matching what is in the fridge, and the connector only fits on one way, so it is hard to mess up this step.  After you attach the connector, snap the two snap guides down on it.  Then hang the new ice maker on the two 1/4" screws and retighten.

Test the ice maker by holding the I/O button to I for about 15 seconds.  You should see the ice guides advance.  That's about it.  Wait for a while until the fridge makes some ice and you're back in business.

This is pretty easy to do and the price on Amazon saves you a more expensive house call from an appliance repair place.  The part comes with a 1 year Electrolux warranty.


<input type="hidden" name="" value="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/D1XTusYvq7S.mp4" class="video-url"><input type="hidden" name="" value="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71mwbPvQCjS.png" class="video-slate-img-url"> When you do not have an ice maker, well its a pain. What are your options? No ice in your drinks, refilling those little plastic treys 100 times, or running to the store daily to buy expensive bags of ice, and none of those options are really good ones. I ordered this portable ice maker for counter top to be a solution to my ice-less problem. The ice maker fits easily on my counter without taking up too much room. The ice maker is sleek and is definitely not an eye sore on the counter top, I have had questions asked about it but usually people are just fascinated in knowing exactly what it is.
The ice maker is incredibly easy to use, you just pour water in the tank, press the on button, select your preferred ice cube size and hit start. In under 10 minutes I had a few pieces of ice. I did not expect the ice maker to really make ice cubes that fast but I was impressed with the results. I love that the ice maker lets me choose the size of the ice cubes I want. I personally prefer the smaller ice cubes in my drink but my husband prefers the larger so we take turns choosing which size we will make. The ice maker helps to make sure no water is wasted with a recycle feature and lets you know when it is out of water with an alert. On top of the ice maker is a clear top so that you can view the ice and check how much is ready for use anytime you want. The ice maker also comes with a convenient scoop so you don't have to risk spreading germs or cold hands.  The ice maker makes up to 26 lbs of ice a day, if I bought that much from a store that would cost me more than $2 a day. This ice maker saves water, money and time and is simple to use. Overall this is a great appliance and I would highly recommend it.
* I received this ice maker as a free sample in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.


Updated review:  I have loved using this range - I cook a lot - until just recently.  All of a sudden, lots of things are going wrong.  I am just past the 1 year warranty.  I did not buy the extended warranty.  Problems.... first, the bottom oven light burned out, now the top oven light will come on at strange times and it won't always turn off when I push the button, also, the bottom oven has started taking FOREVER to preheat, and lastly, the "shut door" message is coming on for the upper oven and the door is shut.  After giving this range a 5 star rating, I'm changing it to a 1 star.  Here's why.  I want to shout loud and clear, "Buyer Beware".  I've now seen online that others are having major issues with this range, issues that are very expensive to resolve, and negative experiences with GE customer service.  I hope I'll be able to revise this rating, but I'm very concerned about where my experience is headed.

Former Review:  Here are many things I love about this gas range!  It is so nice having two ovens - wow!  I also like the 5 burners (btu range is great - from high heat down to a simmer), and the griddle option in the middle is a nice addition.  The top is easy to clean (so much better than the glass top on my older KitchenAid gas range).  This range looks great in our kitchen - very sleek, high quality.  Love it!  The only thing that I don't like are the small gaps in the very back between the range and the counter top  - other reviewers have mentioned this.  It just seems like a weird design element. Other than that, I am really happy with this purchase.  BTW, we did have to convert the range from natural gas to propane.  Even though we are big DIYers, it was pain and was time consuming.  Glad that part's done.

Update (4/18/15)  I continue to feel that this is a 5 star purchase.  Using two ovens at once has been fabulous - I love being able to roast vegetables in one oven and bake another dish in the other.  And again, as I mentioned before, the stainless steel top is so easy to clean and maintain, as long as you don't mind moving the burners and griddle to the side to wipe off the stainless (the burners and griddle are heavy duty, so they have some weight, but I don't mind this).  I just used the griddle for the first time this morning - I cooked three pancakes at a time, and it worked great.  Highly recommend this range!


Purchased this 15" Avallon fridge in July, 2017.  I spent several weeks researching beverage refrigerators before choosing this unit.  My first discovery is that there is a monumental difference between a wine fridge and a beverage fridge.  I wanted something to cool drinks into the 30's temperature range so that meant I was looking for a beverage cooler and NOT a wine cooler.  It seems there aren't that many units out there that cool into the 30's and this fridge has one of the lowest temperature settings at 34 degrees.  Would love to have found something made in the USA but I think all of these "mini fridges" must be made in China, as is this one.  Now that I have the Avallon installed as a built in, I have been very pleased with my purchase.  At $699 it's a little pricey but probably worth it.  Here is what I really like about this product:  1) It fits perfectly under my countertop.  It's 35" from floor to underside of my countertop.  The fridge easily slides under and then I adjust it's feet upward until the top of the frig nearly meets the countertop.  2)  I set the fridge temperature setting to 36 and according to the thermometer I placed inside, it has held that temperature for the past month.  3) The inside light works just like my full size refrigerator.  When you open the door the light comes on.  When you shut the door the light goes off.  Perfect.  4) It is not a noisy unit.  I can hear it run but it is not noisy.  5) As others have remarked, it is exceptionally well packaged when it arrives.  It's in a box that is in another box.  The only assembly is attaching the handle and that's easy.  By the way, the handle IS NOT reversible.  Be sure you are ordering the correct RH or LH door swing.  6) This cooler has 3 glass shelves.  They are easily removed and adjusted.

I do have a couple of cons:  1) The faceplate (that covers the controls for setting the temperature, turning the unit off/on, and selecting the inside light color) kept falling off.  Every time I opened the door, there it was lying on the bottom.  A little contact adhesive solved that issue.
2) the color of the stainless exterior is "unique".  It is not a perfect match for the other stainless appliances in the kitchen.  It's not unattractive and it's not a deal breaker, it's just different.

In summary, I think this is a quality cooler with features and cooling abilities that a lot of other brands just do not have.  I hope it gives good service for years down the road.


We remodeled our kitchen and went from a wall oven and cooktop to this freestanding range (said it was slide in, but really, it didn't make a diffrence in our remodel) It's the range I wanted and we hunted and hunted and found a great deal as they are discontinuing this 30" range, so Sears gave us the floor model for 1700.00 (added the 3 yr all inclusive warranty for 250.00 which I HIGHLY suggest you do if buying any appliances, its well worth it!!) So I have my dream range and love everything about it... My knobs are stainless steel so I don't have the melting issue that another reviewer had (stupid of GE to use plastic knobs when they are on the front of the range right above the oven, shame on you GE) The "cooking oven" under the large oven that another reviewer mentioned is really just a warming oven and I knew that going in (word of advice, if you want 2 ovens, get that model specifically, this bottom warming drawer is just that, a drawer, very small, perfect for warming plates of food, etc).  If you turn the "warming drawer/oven" to 450, its gets hot but I don't think it gets 450 hot, but I'm good with that because I stalked this model for months before I bought it, and the service lady that came out to make sure things were working great (its FREE once a year if you get the warranty)mentioned that was an issue that GE was working on and probably why they are discontinuing this model, to make it better).

The ONLY con on this range...the controls aren't lit up, not even a little bit which even with my kitchen lit up like a Christmas tree, I still need to really focus on what I am touching.  The controls are very easy to turn on with a touch, and the probe feature is great! I don't have to open my oven door, pull the food out,put my own probe in and wait.  I just stick the oven probe in before I close the door and hit the button and not worry about a thing knowing my food is baked/roasted to perfection! Being stainless steel is another minor issue, but as several others mentioned, keep it clean after each use and you won't have a problem ( I use pledge after I wipe down with soft sponge, it makes all the difference!). It does scratch easily but everyone should know this about stainless steel before buying it anyway, so just be a bit careful, and some scratches can be buffed out.  Also, the Service Agreement/Warranty covers knobs, front plate where the knobs are and anything else that goes wrong, other than normal wear and tear. So buy the range and the agreement, you won't be sorry!


I was initially drawn to this machine by it's looks, but bought it for ease of use. Samsung and LG consistently get high marks but in everyday use they drive me nuts. For those not familiar with the Asian design aesthetic, it basically goes like this: More buttons + more blinking lights + more beeping noises = more better. Well, in the words of Stan Marsh, "I thought this was America!" It is, Stan, and this one is actually made in America too.

The controls are simple, just go from left to right. Set auto or timed mode, modify the default settings if you want, throw in some bonuses (like delay time), and press play. I did not really need to read the instructions to figure it out, and the silly noises can be turned off. This is also the first dryer I have ever used with an automatic dry mode that actually works. Although the modes are a bit goofy, "more dry" equals dry, I'm not sure how you can be more dry than dry but whatever. "Normal dry" equals barely damp, perfect for ironing, and "damp" equals damp for hang drying. It is really nice that the steamer has an actual water line, not just a tray you fill with water like many others.

This is easily the best performing dryer I have ever used. The first time I turned it on it blew decades of old dryer lint out of my 30' long exhaust vent, and it blows out so much steam you could build a sauna around it. This thing dries quickly, usually in 40 mins. And evenly, even fitted sheets are no match. It is also very quiet. The only noise that can be heard is the burner lighting, and that is when standing right next to it.

One final note is a weird warning on page one of the installation manual: "Place dryer at least 18 inches above the floor for a garage installation. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire." Now we all know garage floors are no more explosive than regular floors and I am not going to build a stand for it that is 18 inches taller than my washer, but since this little gem is not mentioned in any of the sales info I thought I'd pass it along.

If you are buying this as a set like I did, the features of the washer and dryer to not really match up. The 6000 dryer DOES have a steam cycle and interior light, if you also want that on your washer you will need to step up to the 7000. Also, unlike the washer this dryer DOES NOT come with all of the required connectors. It only comes with the water line, you will need a gas line and exhaust vent. Please don't use a cheap-o flexible vent tube, they reduce efficiency and can create a fire hazard.


The quality of the Zephyr AK2136A 850 CFM 36 Inch wide under-the-counter vent hood is obvious.  Once installed it is a beautiful addition to your kitchen.  It is powerful and has nice features like 5 minute and 10 minute shut off, as well as two settings for the halogen lights (full and night light).  And best of all is the 6 speed fan.  You probably don't need 850 CFM in daily use but it is nice to know when you smoke up your kitchen you can get rid of it quickly.  Again, once installed it is perfect.

I did say "once installed" for a reason - it is not the easiest installation.  It weighs about 45 lbs, and you have to hold it up perfectly centered and level before you can install the screws into the bottom of your cabinet.  You might find it easier if you first protect your cook top with say plywood or thick cardboard.  Then find some sturdy boxes and stack them up so when you place the hood on the top of them you have about 1/2 inch from the top of the hood to the bottom of the cabinet left to go.  I did this because I also had to get the power cord through the hole I made in the bottom of the cabinet at the same time (which isn't easy).  I found it best to first trace the top of the hood and then transfer it to a piece of cardboard (included in the box).  Make sure you also trace where the electrical wires will go through the bottom of the cabinet and of course the vent configuration you will be using.  I decided to stay with the 3 1/2 x 10 vent that was already there (which required a change on the top of the hood [see instructions]).  Also don't forget to open the electrical box in the hood to bring the green ground wire up with the black and white power wires.  You will find that it is rather short and you may need to either replace it with a longer wire or place your power outlet close to where the wires come through the bottom of the cabinet.  I put a 20 Amp GFCI outlet very near the power cord hole in the cabinet on the back wall.  Finally make sure your vent connections are sealed with aluminum HVAC tape.  The hood has a very powerful fan and it will test your vent ducts and any weak point in the connections.

Once installed you can relax and enjoy!


Bought this for a lab that is designed to measure water temperature from freezing to boiling, because I figured it was cheaper than me stopping and picking up fresh ice on the way to work every day for several weeks. Tried to set it up on the Friday before lab, and it wouldn't work. It turned on, and pumped water around, but the cooling mechanism never functioned and it would just give me an error instead of actually making ice.
Sometimes you get a defective unit. Maybe something came loose during shipping. I don't know. That's not why this thing gets one star.
The one star review is for the deplorable customer service from Curtis International. I called immediately when i figured out it wasn't working. After a long hold, someone answered, and started asking me all kinds of unnecessary questions. Model and serial number, OK, fine, that makes sense. But they were asking me for the original purchase information, and for my personal mailing address, etc. These pieces of information are immaterial, since I merely asked to be connected to technical support so someone could help me debug the machine. The man on the other end of the line told me, repeatedly, that he was unable to put me through to technical support over the phone, because they only work via email. I stressed to him the importance of my situation - that I needed this brand new unit working by Monday - and insisted that he connect me to technical support. He wouldn't. I asked to speak to his manager. He wouldn't do that either. They already had my email address, so I stressed again the urgency with which I needed support, and left it for him to pass on my request.
TWO AND A HALF WEEKS LATER, I was contacted over the phone by another representative, again asking for my mailing address and other information not at all related to what I needed (they already had city, state and zip code - I can't understand why they'd need street address to answer simple questions about what I can do to make their product function). I told the representative that I needed help TWO WEEKS AGO, and that calling me back now was absolutely useless to me. THREE DAYS AFTER THAT, another representative calls me to try to get my mailing address. And then I got an email, asking for the same information. Nothing about "we're so sorry that you're having problems with your recent purchase" or any of the other pleasantries that often come with customer care. Just "we need this information in order to help you."
So, in short, the thing never worked from the minute I unboxed it, which happens sometimes. But the company gave me the runaround and refused to be of service. I've contacted our department's purchasing agent to see about returning the POC to Amazon, but if not, we'll scrap it for parts, because that's all it's good for.


If you want to skip all my whining and cut to the chase, just read the last two paragraphs.

My Frigidaire Gallery series refrigerator came with our house, and was about a year and a half old when we moved in. Its upper ice maker was already having some problems. Apparently something was frozen, because after we had a 3 day mid-summer power outage and everything thawed, it started working again, but was still unreliable.

We would occasionally find pieces of plastic and styrofoam mixed in with our ice. After my wife choked on one of the pieces of plastic, I researched this problem online and found out that it was very common. There were even grumblings of starting a class-action suit! I contacted Frigidaire, and of course they said they had never heard of any problem like this before. I told them about my wife choking and said that I could be convinced not to pursue further action if they could just ship me a new ice maker. I am qualified and able to install it myself. They said the best they could do was to give me a 10% discount if I wanted to purchase a new one from them. This still made it over twice the cost of this one.

Once the ice maker quit working completely, I took it apart to see what was wrong. The ice cube tray had cracked, and each time it filled with water, all the water would run down into the ice storage bin, which became one big block of ice. This fridge-glacier expanded the bin and it would not come out until I thawed it out some. This seemed like a lot of hassle for a fridge that was now around 3 years old. The one at our old house was over 20 years old, and still working great - including the in-the-door ice dispenser.

When I was comparing replacement ice makers on Amazon, I was skeptical of this one because the price was much lower than any of the others. Based on the few reviews it had at the time, I went ahead and bought it. When it arrived, I removed the old one and compared them side by side. The new one looked identical to the OEM one in every way. It was easy to install and fit perfectly.

It has been in service for about 2 months now, and makes ice like crazy. It got put to the test over the holidays as we had a large number of guests for Christmas, New Years, and a couple other gatherings. So far it has worked perfectly. I will update this review after we see how well it holds up over time. At this point I would recommend this product, but I'm not so sure about the fridge itself.


I bought this appliance to spin-dry hand-washed items; in particular, my hand-knits and hand-dyed/hand-painted yarn. I have an HE washer which gives me little control over the cycles (like spin-dry alone (>:-P) ), but it does have a powerful spin-cycle. As a test, I put some machine-washed cotton under-garments, which I usually air-dry, into this unit to see how much more water it would remove: more than expected!! I am allergic to wool, and am envious of the lovely hand-painted merino yarn available. I bought this mostly to spin out my own hand-painted yarns in cotton, alpaca and silk. My cotton hand-knit articles have also benefitted from a much shorter drying time. It is larger than I would have preferred, but I wanted the power that the smaller unit did not offer.

I am well pleased, except for the brevity of the single-paged photocopied 'manual'. I visited their website and found no instructional information whatsoever; not even a brief PDF manual. I went to You-Tube and watched several video reviews before I was able to decide whether to cut and remove the zip-tie at the bottom of the unit. It was supposed to strap the motor to a heavy metal bar to stabilize it for shipping, but mine arrived loose, which seems to be a circumstance shared by others. Once snipped, the zip-tie pulled free without great resistance. My complaint is solely about the lack of information in both the printed insert and online. Oh, and the styrofoam got everywhere: inside, outside, inside and outside, and spun out with the water. But it shipped without damage.

The device works well, and the motor did not seem to get hot after I allowed a large DK-weight cotton shawl (Cascade Ultra Pima, ~375 grams)  to spin dry for 20 minutes or so. After its first blocking on a foam mat with wires and pins, it seemed to be dry after 14 hours or so, but I left it for another day to be entirely certain. It dried much more quickly than a recent 50/50 cotton/modal shawl did. I am hopeful that my own hand-painted cotton yarn will be both fun and fast-drying (before and after knitting)! That's my next adventure in yarn (the knitted-on cabled border of my current shawl is going so slooowly).

BTW, the 'manual' says not to use this appliance to spin-dry stuffed animals. Perhaps because it they fall apart the stuffing will ruin the device? I don't know why you couldn't use a fine-mesh bag for a poly-fill-fiber stuffed toy, include two other articles to balance the load, and spin away.  Because I knit toys too; and they get the dirtiest of all.


One thing I discovered is this part is listed under at least one other model number depending on where you look for it (in my case, a GE part lookup site, where this part number was in the URL but a different one was displayed on-page).  That said it seems to be a pretty much universal icemaker for GE refrigerators, and in my case the Amazon price was well below what the refrigerator repair company quoted, and when accounting for the labor cost they would have charged, I saved upwards of $250 this way.

The only part of the installation that was confounding was that for my type of refrigerator, the instructions state to remove the plastic bar that runs across the tray and replace it with the one from the old (broken) icemaker. Problem was, that old one didn't quite fit this one right...it was too big, causing it to buckle slightly. I had to cut down the edge of the inner-most tooth to get a clean fit. No big deal, but a slight over-site by the manufacturer in assuming that the strip from the old icemaker would have the exact same dimensions. It's not a huge issue as this is not a moving part...it simply needs to not block the rotating plastic pins in the tray. I'm guessing that most people don't even bother anyway, and just leave the default strip in there.

Other than this minor adjustment, it was a snap. It fit in my freezer right where the old one went perfectly. It came with a new water tube, but I didn't need it. It also came with the wrong water funnel (where the water falls into the device), but it also had the correct mount for me to place the one from my old icemaker in the correct position, so again, no problems.

All in all, a sort of one-size-fits all replacement that lives up to its billing 99% of the time, and the remaining 1% is easy enough to work around.

And as the heading says, DO NOT throw out your old icemaker. You may need to salvage a couple of rudimentary parts from it to make this one fully compatible with your fridge...in fact, the instructions and design of this unit count on it.

EDIT: I just noticed that a lot of the rows of ice that came out of this icemaker were frozen together. This is typically a result of the tray water level being too high, but I could find no adjustment screw/dial for this. Turns out that it is under the plastic cover of the icemaker (there's just one screw to remove, hidden under a screw cover). Once off I found a screw with a "+/-" by it, which adjusts the water level. All is well now, but sure wish this had been in the instructions.

Ordered from seller "Reliable Retailer"

Pros:
Installed it and the dryer works.

Cons
Hmmmm, is this a cheap knock off? If so, then I have a safety concern.

On the original part, there are letters and numbers printed/molded right onto the item, while this one I ordered is completely missing that(blank), which Whirlpool said it should not be.

I also spoke with Whirlpool's parts dept "RepairClinic". They stated that all their parts come in a bag that will either have the Whirlpool logo or name on it.

Neither Whirlpool or their parts dept have heard of knock offs with these low cost parts. But you never know and due to safety concerns, I mean, I can use a paperclip to make continuity, but will the dryer stop due to over heating with a paperclip? That's what a proper thermal fuse is for. I rather pay more for a genuine part than to risk a fire hazard.

After I installed this thermal fuse, the dryer worked again, but again, how reliable is this thermal fuse, if it's not genuine? Is my family worth saving a few more dollars over for?

>>03/15/2016

Spoke with Whirlpool again. They said that what bothers them the most is that the actual replacement part has no printing/molded numbering/lettering on it and the size is different. They do sell refurbished parts, but the plastic part of it should be original, where they will remove the gut of the part to fix, therefore, the numbering/lettering should be there on the plastic still. They recommended not to use the part I received.

I rated it 3 stars at first due to uncertainty, but after speaking with Whirlpool and seeing the different parts that I have, I feel that it now should be no more than 1 star.

>>03/19/2016
Received and installed the genuine Whirlpool part from their parts dept "RepairClinic", it had the printing on the item, bag has the Whirlpool name and barcode.

Conclusion:
See the product review image of the differences and decide for yourself. Look at the little circles on the middle part, which is called "Ejection pin mark", they do not match up with the genuine Whirlpool part. Also, another thing I noticed is that the plugs fits a little looser on the knock off, while they fit at the same tightness with the original old broken and genuine new replacement parts.


About 3 months in to use, and overall I like the fridge, especially when priced against alternatives and compared on reliability, noise reports, etc.  However, it's not perfect.  I'll list the minor quibbles:
- the shelves have large holes in them, for what I'm assuming is temperature flow to make all levels consistently cold.  However, they can cause some minor instability for a beer bottle if it sets just right on that hole.  I'd rather have had smaller holes but more of them. Not much of a problem except when loading it. This likely has to do with load bearing of the glass panels, so it is what it is.
- while the fridge is quiet overall, ours has a very peculiar noise.  When the house is quiet, you'd swear a kitten is stuck behind the unit: it makes some very odd rising, high-pitched mews, and on a fairly regular basis (every few minutes or more).  If there is any sort of background noise, this is not noticeable, but if there's no one talking, no TVs on, and folks are still, we can hear it from as far away as an adjacent room.  Fortunately it has not freaked out the 3 cats we have.  ;)
- the blue light doesn't do a lot for illumination in the interior for my older & minor red/green colorblind eyes. I'm not sure what provides the blue color to the light - the lens or the bulb - but if I could change it for a white light I will/would.  Now if I would just let it empty out a bit more to provide better access to the light to resolve that question...
- the shelf adjustability would be better if there were more optional slots for the glass shelves.  For me, unless I remove one of the glass shelves I only have one of the three shelves where I can stand up beer bottles, and only standard beer bottles.  Larger specialty beer bottles must lay flat, so nothing with sediment on those shorter shelves.
- The location of the lock is not very convenient - it would have been better to have at the top of the door, but if the concern was esthetics or impact on the ease of removing contents from the fridge, then I understand.  The lock has a tongue that sticks out about 3", fortunately only when the door is open.  Would have been nice if that could have been recessed a bit more or done away with entirely.

If none of those issues are enough to chase you away, and they really aren't for me either, then I'd recommend this fridge so far.


Amazon is great. Purchase products all the time from them. However my wife and I purchased a brand new KitchenAid refrigerator from Western Appliance in August 2008. From the moment we got it, we've had problems. First the inside light malfunctioned, then the digital readout. The repairman has been here 4 times to try to repair it and now that all the parts have been replaced still has no idea what's wrong with it. The ice machine quit working on the third service call, and we have no ice.
I have made numerous phone calls to Western Appliance, spoken to Leo, the salesperson, and the manager. They just tell me to call the Repairman.
This Saturday will be the fifth visit by another repairman from a different service. We get the runn around when we ask for a replacement from western Appliance, repair service center and KitchenAid. Even though we purchased an extended warranty. I even called KitchenAid myself and was told that even if we purchased the warranty, it does not cover lemons or replacements.
Their service is atrocious at best, and now that they have made a sale, we are virtually ignored or fobbed off. Worst of it is, the repair company under their contract has no idea what they're doing.
This is the worst service I've ever encountered from an appliance store or manufacture. DO NOT BUY ANY APPLIANCES FROM WESTERN APPLIANCE or KITCHENAID. You will regret it if it should ever malfunction.
It is now Novenber 2008 and I have NO LIGHTS, NO DIGITAL READOUT, AND NO ICE from my brand new KitchenAid refrigerator, and am waiting for a "second Opinion" from another repair co, while being ignored by Western Appliance.
I am so frustrated with all the waiting and phone calls I've had to make, not to mention all the work time I've lost waiting the 4 hours window for the repairmen to show up. I was on hold one hour with the mother company only to be told I had to get a second opinion from another repair co. How long does this have to go on before we can get a functioning refrigerator?
Western Appliance, South Bay Repair and KitchenAid should really look at their practices and know that they are losing many potential and future customers because I will tell any and all who will listen about the shoddy way they treat their customers.
I also intend to notify consumer agencies as well as the Better Business Bureau, because I've had enough of their stall tactics.


I purchased  Bosch model SHX3AR75UC because of its ratings in Consumer Reports. I no longer have this model. After having problems with the bottom rack spray arm hitting the bottom rack when it's loaded with dishes, Bosch replaced the dishwasher.  Twice, Bosch sent a representative to investigate this problem before they replaced the machine.
 First, they sent me replacement wheels (not the slopped kind which came with it) which eliminated the derailing issue I was also having. Unfortunately, it did nothing to fix the spray arm hitting the basket.  The first representative they sent, after seeing that the dishes had been loaded properly and witnessing the  problem I was having,  recommended  a replacement rack; but the new rack, which looked exactly like the one I had, still encountered the problem with the spray arm.

 The second representative came and after confering with the office, manually straightened the spokes holding the wheels and pushed the bottom of the rack upwards.  This finally, eliminated the spray arm hitting the basket, but it really messed up the contact of wheels to rail!

Bosch replaced the dishwasher with a new model just out, SHX5AV55UC.  It was installed yesterday.  Since I was told that my problems with the previous model were probably an anomaly with that particular machine, and, I also expected the problem had been dealt with in the new model,  I welcomed it, anticipating a happily ever after!  Sadly, after loading it and spinning the bottom rack spray arm, I find I'm back with the same problem.

 For those who wonder what kind of dishes I have, they are ironstone, about as heavy as fiesta ware.
 I'm writing this because I have just had enough!  Before I sat down to write this,  I had loaded 4 plates, spun the spray arm-- and no exageration--the spray arm is hitting the bottom of the rack!  It is so unbelievable, I will post a video of it!
I have read other reviews of dishes not getting clean, could it be, in some of those cases, the arm is not spinning?  If anyone is having similar problems with the flimsy bottom rack, would you post it.

Previous to this dishwasher, I had a Kenmore and had no issue with it  except for the noise.  And although I can put up with the Bosch's not drying plastic, the beeping, all of which I was aware of--  I do like the quietness of the Bosch, the design, and other features which others have listed, as well as their customer service. But this particular problem I'm having makes this dishwasher unacceptable.


The kit fit my Whirlpool Cabrio perfectly and was significantly cheaper (~40% less) than at online parts stores - don't hesitate to buy this if your washer has started roaring like a jet engine during the spin cycle.  If you have any modicum of mechanical experience or understand how bearings are installed, this is a simple job.  There are a couple good videos on YouTube if in doubt.  The included directions are actually pretty good but, they describe the repair as a new, non-corroded and rusted unit.  If your bearings are bad it is because the upper seal is leaking, and you will have corrosion which will likely require some improvisation to get the wash tub, shaft, and bearings out.  In my case, the wash tub was stuck to the shaft which was corroded to the upper bearing.  I ultimately spent more time getting the wash drum and shaft out than actually installing the kit.  It seems like there are a lot of questions related to removing the drum if it is stuck.  I just tipped the machine on its back and used a 3 lb sledge to beat the shaft and wash tub out.  The bearing can then be easily knocked out and the races cleaned.  After the shaft and wash drum were out of the machine, I set the tub upside down on blocking and beat the shaft out - you are replacing the shaft so you don't need to worry about damaging it, although it should be common sense to not go crazy with the sledge and risk damaging the drum.

I did not buy the separate bearing install kit.  Again, if you have experience installing bearings this is straightforward.  The bearing tool would unquestionably speed up the installation process but, I don't think the time savings justifies the price unless you turn around and re-sell it on ebay.  If you are uncertain, buy the tool as it makes this a doable job for anyone.  I used the old bearing to set the new upper bearing and ended up simply using a rubber dead-head mallet to tap the bottom bearing in - you just have to pay attention that the bearings are going in straight.  Outside the time spent getting the shaft and drum out, and cleaning up all the corrosion, it took about 2.5 hours to change the bearings and reassemble the machine.  As others noted, don't be stingy on the sealant on the upper seal and let it cure 24 hours before using.  Good as new.


Great product but they need to include more rods in the kit. I had to buy a second set of rods and that still wasn't enough so Ill end up spending $60+ dollars on this kit which isn't terrible if you factor what you would get charged out in town, but still, its plastic rods with a brush attached....thats overpriced for something so simple.

So enough of me complaining about it being overpriced and get to the review. It works GREAT if you aren't an idiot and use common sense when using it.

1.  Always CLOCKWISE..... again always CLOCKWISE, I cant be anymore clear about this.
2.  Use electrical tape or duct tape as a backup in case you screw up on number 1 above. Its a good safety measure so just do it, it only takes a few seconds per rod to wrap in tape.
3.  Feed one rod at a time, taping each one as you go.
4.  Dont force the rods if you get resistance with the drill attached. If you get resistance, remove the drill from the rod and using your hands wiggle/shift the rods until you get past the resistance and then reconnect the drill and continue. Most likely if you reach resistance is likely one of two things. (1) You have a large bend in your duct or (2) you have a lot of blockage. If its number 2, start pulling the rod out (with or without the drill attached (if the drill remains attached, remember to always spin  CLOCKWISE) as youve probably hit a patch of lint clogged heavily in one area. Pulling the rod out will likely pull a large portion of lint youve broken loose out with the rod and brush  attachment so vacuum it up or blow it out if you have a leaf blower and then start again (I didn't disconnect rods during this step but I did take my time to hand feed the rod and brush back in to ensure I didn't damage the rods).
5.  Once youve reached the end of your vent, start pulling your rods out the same way you went in (CLOCKWISE) so that you catch any debris you might have missed on the initial cleaning.  I pushed the brush through 2-3 times in total from different sides of the vent since I was short a few rods and used the leaf blower 4-6 times in between to ensure I was pushing any lint to the exterior of the house (never blow the leaf blower into the house, only blow to the outside of the house unless you want a HUGE mess in your house.
6.  Lastly, Id recommend using a face mask/respirator mask as this stuff is messy and you don't know whats growing in it. I had some cheap carpentry mask but will use a better version next time I clean it as its not fun to breath in.


This product is fantastic?
I am not a salesman for this company neither do I have anything to with them but simply purchased this product by faith because I was not sure how a 440 CFM will perform in open concept kitchen.

One of the biggest problems we had was that the microwave oven exhaust fan couldn't handle the cooking aftermath odor and we lived with it for 8 years. This was a mistake in optioning when we built our home. As the microwave began to die we started hunting for a real hood range of a commercial grade ability. We had already installed a hood range, a rated 900 CFM on hour second kitchen at another level of the house and pardon me to say it is a hurricane; so we were a bit skeptical on the 440 CFM. Also, particularly this was going to the main floor kitchen and were not sure about the look and location of the controls, but the price was competitive and so we bought. Remember, once it is installed I is a pain to remove and you know the rest.

So we got the delivery and the electrician had I installed. The electrician commented right away that the motor is huge and he has never seen a motor that huge and he has installed a few in his line of work and including the one he has at home. That was a notice.

After the install, we put it to test by cooking right away. We do use a lot of spices from around the world, India, Africa, Caribbean, cajun, for example. At the rate with wish the exhaust fan handled the cooking and still handles it is amazing; not a thing of drop of smell. It gave the 990 CFM a run for its money twice over.

The dial button is right UNDERNEATH the front panel and hidden, this gives it that buttonless look. This is cleverly done in this age of push buttons touch pads so one doesn't feel less of the i-thing.

Our other range hood is the Cavaliere with feel sensitive front panel buttons, but the Broan is just just as fantastic.

I will not hesitate purchasing it again. I read where someone complained about the light after 3 days etc. you know what? At the time the electrician installed it, he went to show me the light setting for night and cooking and the night time 4 watt bulb blew out, I went to Home Depot, bought a pack as they sell it and replaced it with one. It is a bulb folks.

We have had it now for 2 weeks and it is working fantastically. If we have a complaint, I will return and update, I doubt it. Highly recommended.


I had the smaller version for 2 1/2 years and after much abuse it finally stopped spinning (... and I mean ABUSE)!  It stopped spinning after I shoved a comforter into it (yes - I should have known better).  And that one I bought for $145 delivered.  (UPDATE:  all the old one needed was a new belt! So my best friend will be getting a few years of service out of it as well!).

This time around I decided to get the larger model and how happy am I?  I had it in my house and doing wash 1 1/2 days after ordering (and that was with normal shipping).

I don't have (and did not with the other one) any of the issues others have seen with leaking etc.  First of all, I read directions.... There is some small assembly.  Pay attention and make sure everything is tight and you won't have issues.

DO NOT USE NORMAL DETERGENT..... BUY HE only and you'll be fine.

As with my previous one, I am happy as a clam.  Cannot to this day, 2 1/2 years after buying my one, understand why I put up with laundry mats for so long.

If I hadn't overstuffed the old one (time after time after time), I am sure it would still be working today..... And I don't mind, I was spending $100 a month at the laundry mat, so it paid for itself in six weeks.

This one I got for $245 delivered, so it will pay for itself in 10 weeks.  I can live with that.

Go for it.  You really have nothing to lose and if you are spending 80-100 bucks a month at the laundry mat, you would still make out even if the thing broke after 2-3 months.

Makes sense to me.

OH - A QUICK TIP FOR THE DRAIN HOSE - I tie it to the water intake hose... therefore it is always in the sink and I never have to worry about it coming loose...  I tie them together about 5-7 inches from the end.  Then the end of the water intake hose goes to the faucet, and by default the end of the drain hose sits in the sink tied to it <grin>

For other great info - clcik SEE ALL REVIEWs from me (there's only one) and its for the other model, on there I have picutres and part numbers for connecting to a bathroom sink (and it all applies to this model as well).... as a matter of fact, the wheels I bought for the first one, fits this one without any adjustments at all.


Foremost, while I have infinite faith in Amazon, I have virtually none in UPS, FedEx, USPS, or the even zanier fly-by-night delivery companies. So, my worries began the instant I placed my order. Would the glass front be shattered? Would there be dents? Would it work?! So, I was washed in relief when I unboxed the fridge to find another box. Within that hard slip-cover box were strong cardboard supports for the sides of the fridge AND a Styrofoam sheath covering the glass area. The entire fridge was also covered in a plastic bag to prevent any scratching. Therefore, do know that this company and Amazon have prepared for all eventualities! Phenomenal!

Also, do know that if you are like me (petite), you may need an extra person to help get this off your porch and into your home. There was, literally, no way that I could lift it. So, if you are tiny and limited in your lifting capacity, do have another person in the ready to give you a hand. (It looks small, and even though it is empty, it is HEAVY!)

With a perfect delivery conquered, we were on to the item itself. The look is stylish and polished. And, the capacity is ridiculous! This holds SOOO many more cans than I pictured. We had three cases of San Peligrino (of varying flavors) and two of Coke. It barely made a dent! For us, this is terrific (since we are all lovers of carbonated beverages). By morning, all drinks were delightfully chilled.

We considering adding this to one of our spare bedrooms for fun (kind of a mini-bar effect for our guests), but we could not reconcile the look of this with the overall decor of the room. So, we decided to use it in the game room (a finished basement). What is relevant here is that we noticed that it operates fairly quietly. When we first plugged it in, I actually leaned down and put my ear to the back. Granted, the television was on, but I think this could be an option for those who want that "mini-bar" experience without disturbing the sleep of their guests.

This is a fun, whimsical fridge that is both functional (by having this in the game room, it saves the kids a NOISY two floor climb to the kitchen) and quite attractive. This is highly recommended to any family seeking a neat beverage cooler for their home, summer home, or cabin.


We purchased all of our appliances in September, 2007. We started having issues with the ice maker & it would stop allowing water to come out the front about 6 months ago. Although I figured the water was freezing, I looked at my filter sheet in the utility room & noticed we never replaced the filter for our GE Fridge, so 8 years, 5 1/2 months was way over due. I ordered a 3-pack of these filters on Saturday March, 19th, 2016 & received the package on Monday, March, 21st, 2016. Not bad at all. As it says on the instructions, I used tap water to partially fill the filter, let it sit for about 2 minutes, added a bit more tap water, installed the filter & ran about 1 1/2 gallons of water, just to make sure there wouldn't be charcoal particles left in the line. The filter works great. As for the taste, I can't tell the difference between bottled water, or our household water supply.
The Refresh Filter Model Number R-9991 works with our GE Side By Side Refrigerator. This model doesn't have the O-Rings on it. The O-Rings are on the Unit where the Filter fits onto. [They only make the two types, with/without O-Rings]. They need a side shot so you can see how the top looks. I believe I looked at another seller who had the side shot but this seller had the best price, plus Prime, so shipping was free, 2-day shipping. Next, I'll be buying a Brita Water Filter Pitcher, along with the Faucet Mount Water Filter. 1st I'm buying Test Strips to see how bad our Waterford, MI. Well Water is, & how bad the bottled water we've been using is. Back to our Fridge, the water taste's great.
I am going to get test strips because of a video short my daughter sent to me on facebook all about bottled water & the readings that a mom got on 8 different brands. Along with a 1 gallon container with filters in side of it, we can further clean our tap water. Trust me, I was shocked to see what the readings that were on 6 of the major brands sold throughout the US. All in all, our water at least tastes great now. These filters do the job & our ice maker & water dispenser works normal again.


The tech that ge sent couldn't fix it and then left me with a leaky range.  My gas company was called and they shut the appliance valve off and red tagged it.  It means I cannot use it until it's repaired.  Customer service has been unsympathetic and rude.  I'm waiting for a senior tech to have a look at it. Did I mention that luckily I was home when the stove/range first started with the gas leak problem?  Yes, I was getting dizzy and then I smelled it.  I quickly turned off the main valve that time.  What if I had been at work?

Original review was written April 22, 2014.

Here's the update 1/5/2015 : it's been a year that I own this stove. I own the advantium microwave that matches it too.  I love, love, love this stove/oven but hate GE customers lack of support.

I hate GE customer service and repair runaround.  I had my main valve closed and went without using my appliance for about a month before it was all sorted out.

 They eventually sent a senior tech with the right detectors and it quickly started blaring an alarm indicating that yes, my stove/oven was leaking gas. The problem was "a faulty safety valve". Isn't that interesting that the safety thing on it wasn't working or broken. Which means I had a dangerous unit which was wrongly diagnosed by their less experienced tech that first came to look at it. He wrote on his notes that there wasn't anything wrong with it and anytime I called customer service they'd read those notes and treated me like I was crazy. So in the end after bad reviews I posted on sears website and consumer affairs website, calling the gas company and threatening them, they finally sent the senior tech who had a differing opinion than the first tech. The Senior tech found the problem. He said it was that the safety valve was broken and so it was allowing gas to continuously flow into and then out of the oven through the seams on the closed door. He let it build up and when he opened the oven door (the unit was off the whole time) a gust of gas came out, he got nervous and ordered me to quickly open the windows. He needed to order the faulty part and come back to replace it.  He did come back to repair it and The stove is now good.

I don't think I'll ever buy another GE appliance though, because I can't trust them to back up their product or care about their customers safety.

Just a note:  I didn't buy this here at amazon I bought it from sears who by the way were willing to send their own technicians and were very nice but I felt this was a manufacturer problem and responsibility and that's why I stuck it out with making GE take care of it.


UPDATE: Four years now and no problems at all. The faucet/hose stopped leaking.  Another tip I forgot to share, which I picked up from another dishwasher's reviews, is to leave the door closed for a while after the cycle ends in order for the dishes to dry without spots.  I generally start a load before bed then unload the clean dishes when I get home from work the next day.  Also, having plastic dishes in the load reduces the chances of the dishes drying, so if there's plastic and glass mixed instead of just glass, be sure to crack the door to let everything air dry.  I also run only hot water when washing because I want really sanitary dishes.

=======

I did a lot of research before purchasing this product and finally decided on this model because it did not have a window and I read enough reviews of models with windows leaking that I decided a window wasn't necessary. I've had my Koldfront counter-top dishwasher for a year and 3 months and I can say I'm very happy with it. The only time it overflowed was my fault - I had put in too much soap. I've since started using Cascade packets and they work perfectly - no soap flowing out of the machine and my dishes come out beautifully clean. Of course, I put the dishes in pretty clean to begin with, without any stuck-on food or anything. But even when I've left a little barbecue sauce on a plate or forgotten to rinse a juice glass out, they've still come out completely clean. I generally use the standard wash setting.

The only complaint I have at this time is that the faucet connector leaks now and didn't at the beginning. However, this could probably be fixed by hands stronger than my own or a pair of pliers.

Yes, the machine is noisy, however that can't be much helped, given that it has no insulation around it. I had very little trouble setting it up - I thought I needed an adapter and went to the hardware store to find one, however, they pointed out to me that I simply needed to remove the faucets original casing and the adapter that comes with the dishwasher would fit on. I had asked my landlord to help with this, but he didn't even realize this so I didn't feel like an entirely silly girl.

I wash a load about every other day. Yes, you have to figure out your own configuration of dishes - they won't fit in the machine like the pictures. However, I am able to get 4 soup bowls, 4 dinner plates and 4 glasses (tall or short) into the machine at once, without any trouble. It does seem that wash cycles are quite long, however, I don't recall how long the wash cycles were with a traditional dishwasher. I usually try to run mine at night or at some time when the noise won't bother me.


I purchased this when remodeling my kitchen and replacing appliances. We switched from black appliances to stainless steel, and along with it, tore out our older black Broan range hood and installed this to replace it.

We had no issues with our older hood, other than the color no longer matching. Aesthetically, this new "Allure" hood is significantly more modern looking than the older Broan we replaced. The design is smooth looking and modern, but not overly flashy to the point where it will look out of place even in an older kitchen. The finish of the stainless looks great and feels to be thick enough to be durable. Installation was a breeze, but I would recommend having a second set of hands to help hold it up while you put the first screws in.

The hood functions great too. The two new larger lights in the front are much easier to install and much brighter than the tiny halogen lights in my older Broan hood. Instead of putting the fan in the middle of the hood, the new hood has a larger fan located in the back of the hood. The controls are simple to operate; one 3-way rocker switch for the light (high, low, off) and one 3-way rocker switch for the fan (high, low, off). There is a simple indicator light that alerts you whether the fan and/or light are switched on, and this does come in handy. One of the things I love about this range hood is that the fan is remarkably quiet when on the "low" setting; the sound of food simmering in your pot or pan will likely be just as loud as the fan if not louder.

The only thing I decided to deduct a star for is that this product was designed to be used as either a top-vented product or a rear vented product. That would be excellent, except they didn't design the seals well on each section. Ours is used as a rear-vented product. To use that, you pop out the piece of sheet metal that blocks the rear vent, and leave the sheet metal covering the top vent in place. The unfortunate problem is, the sheet metal opening isn't sealed well, and if you install it as is, you'll have an air leak that will allow some of the air in the fan to seep out back into the kitchen as opposed to out of the vent. This is easily solvable by using your own aluminum tape and carefully covering the edges of the sheet metal on the top to seal off any potential leaks. Since it mounts up against the underside of a cabinet, the tape will not be visible at all after installation, so it's not a big deal. But I think the company should address this by either providing tape to cover up the unused opening, or some kind of tighter seal already built in the product to prevent this.

Overall though, these Broan hoods are significantly cheaper than most competitors, they look great and function well. Four stars.


I've purchased a number of appliances over the years, so I've had the fortunate (or unfortunate) opportunity to experience installation and delivery services from a number of vendors.  J.B. Hunt provided service that far exceeded my expectations.  My prior experience with home improvement stores and other retailers was really put to shame by J.B. Hunt's professionalism.

J.B. Hunt called to schedule the appointment.  They were professional from the beginning, asking the necessary questions to make sure the installation would go smoothly.  They also answered all the questions I had and provided a phone number that I could call if I had any other questions or needed to reschedule.  A typical delivery time slot (four hour window) was given, but they said it would likely be one of the first deliveries in that time.  On the day of the delivery, they called around 11:30 and promptly arrived around noon.

Upon arrival, the installers were friendly and professional.  It was raining that day, but they rolled out a floor protector from the entry door all the way to the kitchen where the range was going to be installed.  The guys even were slippers around their shoes.  Installation took about forty minutes, which might seem like a long time for anyone that has experienced an appliance delivery before.  However, these guys made sure they got every detail right.  Unlike my experience with other appliance installers, they took the time to make sure it was perfectly level and installed properly.

The installers took care of everything like it was their own home.  They protected the flooring like no other appliance delivery company has ever done.  In the past, I would have had to provide any power cords or other necessary install items.  However, they provided the power cord.  I just sat and watched them take care of everything and honestly, even though the installation wasn't free it was still cheaper than what other retailers would charge.  They took care of the haul away of the existing unit, but would have been more than willing to place it elsewhere if I wanted to keep it.  The new range was protected from the rain and they even wiped it down when they were finished.  The installers tested all of the burners and the oven before leaving.

I wish I had known about J.B. Hunt's services prior to the purchase of my other appliances.  It would have saved me time and headaches.  I was pleasantly surprised and would not hestitate to recommend their services to others.  I realize that the installation experience might vary with different cities and regions, but I truly got the feeling that J.B. Hunt and their employees cared.


I had been receiving the dreaded OE error on my LE WM2010CW intermittently for some time.  I was able to unplug the washer to reset it or clean out the filter and be back in business.  However, the last time the error arose, I could not get the machine to finish a cycle and manually draining the machine has pretty much ruined my wood floor.

Like others, I did some reasearch and determined the nature of the OE error--the drain pump had failed.  Before ordering the part, I was confident there were no blockages and I watched several YouTube videos of others making this repair and was confident I could handle the task.

The process of installing the pump after disconnecting and draining the machine is to remove the screws holding the cover of the machine, (located on the back of the unit), sufficiently removing the front control panel to get access to the screws holding on the front panel of the unit, removing the spring clamp securing the door gasket, the door sensor connector and eventually the pump.  Washing machines aren't that complicated.

I found my unit disassembled slightly differently from the YouTube videos.  If a part wasn't coming off, locate what is keeping it on (usually a hidden screw) until everything is out of the way.  The hoses and harnesses for the pump came off pretty easily and i and I used the opportunity while the unit open to clean out the inside, which had accumulated some grime and soap that I presume overflowed from the detergent drawer.

The pump itself was easy to replace and overall, the process was pretty intuitive once I understood how to get inside.

I was able to do the entire job with a Phillips screwdriver and a set of pliers.  I was concerned about replacing the spring clamp that holds the gasket for the main door.  It took a little bit of adjusting but forming rings with zip ties to pull the spring instead of the special LG pliers worked great for me.  I also learned that the polarity of the motor connection doesn't matter when you replace the connecting wires (but I marked them when I took them off just in case).

Delighted with the outcome.  My washer works perfectly now.  If you can use a screwdriver and are organized and methodical to keep track of the screws and the order of things, this is a doable job.  Hardest part was I stacking and moving the washer out of the laundry room so I could access it.  The actual dismantling, installation and reassembly took a little over an hour and it I had to do it a second time, I could probably handle the job in 40 minutes.  Sure I saved at least $300 doing this myself and did not have to wait around for a service call.


My previous machine was a KENMORE Top-Loader that lasted an incredible 18 years.  Then, when it was necessary to replace this antiquated laundry hero, I considered a newer high efficiency machine, and ultimately settled on a not-so-cheap LG WM3370HWA, which lured me in with its advanced features.  I felt it might provide an edge cleaning set-in stains, and handling sizeable loads, while reducing impact on the environment.

After four months, problems began, with the washing machine and matching dryer, so I called LG support, and they had me place my telephone against the machine and push some buttons so they could listen to tones the machine produced, to find out what was wrong.  Okay, so it told them I needed to change detergent amount and settings.  Problem solved. Temporarilly.  Another 10 months... right after the washing machine was off warranty, it began screaming, as loud as an abnoxious high-pitched piercing siren every time it spun the clothes!  I contacted SEARS, where I purchased the LG Washer and they callously informed me... "Well, these machines don't last forever, seems to me, you were just unlucky with the machine you bought, and you just got a bad one, there's nothing we,re going to do about it!." They refused to help me further, refusing to accept any additional calls I placed to SEARS.

I then tried to contact LG directly, and found their support line required that I input a cell phone number where I was willing to receive regular text messages (advertising?) from LG.  The automated LG system then announced if I refused to leave a phone number where I was willing to receive text messages, the call would then end.  I did not respond, and the LG voice responded in a very abrupt, loud tone, GOOD BYE---...

I then checked with a local repair center and duscovered bearings go bad, with corresponding cost equal to what I paid for the washer new.  Unfortunately, since the machine was still fairly new, many of the parts are not yet available on the market and I would have to wait another 3-6 months, for them to be made available by the manufacturer, according to this repair shop.  This simply emphasized  the mistake I made in purchasing an LG Washer.

I strongly advise against anyone considering either an LG WM3370HWA, or any LG product, period, due to observed inability to assure quality, poor longevity and value for the price paid, and for inadequate or non-existent customer support to enable post-sale repair problems.  It concerned me with the WM3370HWA, that following my initial contact, I was not able to locate a single LG Customer Support center, other than the one described.

For these reasons I will not recommend LG under any circumstance.


We bought this to replace an OTR microwave that didn't suck up anything. Seriously, if we did anything more than boil water, our smoke alarms would go off. So we bought this to keep ourselves, and our two dogs, from going insane each time we so much as looked at the stove.

This took me and my husband all weekend to install, including 4 trips to Lowe's. We took down our microwave and realized it had a rectangle output, so we had to get some ducting from the main vent to this. Part of the reason it took so damn long was because of the way the builders installed the vent stack to begin with, so not the fault of this hood. However, there are a couple things to note as I found the instructions less than stellar. Some of these might only apply if you're doing an under-cabinet mount.

1. There are two small screws on the top vent. Remove these before installing. No mention of this in the instructions, but it can be difficult to maneuver the extraction once the hood is installed. Trust me. The duct should slip between the two cylinders on top and then you screw them all together. Yeah that didn't happen. We just used shiny ducting tape to keep it all in place.
2. You might want some nuts for the screws that go in the top. We actually installed it with the screws coming down from the cabinet and added nuts to keep them all in place. That was easier than trying to go the other way.
3. Make a template of the screw holes in the back and another for the holes on top from the cardboard box the hood is shipped in. Ideally templates would have been provided, but we were able to make do.
4. As others have mentioned, the sticker on the front left some lovely residue. Even after using goo gone, I could still see the outline. The way I got rid of it was by cleaning the hood with vinegar and then wiping it down with a thin coat of olive oil. No trace of the sticker now!

Tonight we put this fan to the ultimate test. I seared chicken thighs for about 10 minutes before transferring to the oven, made a glaze from the leftover juices plus some other ingredients, and stir fried snap peas. I don't think I could have done even one of those things before without setting off the smoke alarm, but this hood allowed me to do all three with no worries.

One day I hope my dogs will get over their trauma and not run and hide every time we turn on the stove. Overall, I'm super happy with this hood as the memories of installing it quickly fade.


I initially rated this range two stars and now Thor fixed the problem and I've raised it to 4 stars.  The Thor engineer was great at working with me and getting me the parts.  It now works beautifully..

Here was my initial review:

This is a schizophrenic review.  On one hand, the range looks great and the top burners work well.  On the other hand, Thor has just admitted to an igniter problem on the front left and right burners.  If the flame is too high, the igniters continue to spark.  They say they have a solution and we'll find out next week when the new parts arrive.  The broiler has a hot spot in the center so it is difficult to get an even broiling.  The oven is 17 degrees lower than the what is set on the knob but works well if you place your shelf in the bottom half of the oven and set the temperature 17 degrees higher.  Adco, the service vendor for this range, is responsive, but the repair person we got in this area is horrendous.  To be honest, it was Adco's second choice as the first choice was not available when we first needed service.  Thor even keeps their service vendor in the dark about problems.  The repairs we had to fix the igniter and oven temp problems were not necessary and the repair person wasn't bright enough to know that.  It is now three months since our purchase and the unit is still not fixed correctly.  That said, when it is working, it is great.  Adco told me that since this is a relatively new line, they are working out some of these issues.  But I hate to be a guinea pig.

It is now May 2016 and it is fixed!!!!  I saved a bunch of money but I now have a range that works as well as a Wolf for almost half the money.  Again, the Thor engineer was great at helping fix this problem.  It required new burner assemblies on the front right and left burners, and new orifices.  I changed them myself, but if you are not handy and have a 17mm wrench, then let the service guy do it.  Be sure to change out the burner supports from the old burners to the new ones.  I also changed out the simmer orifices and they sent a nutdriver for that purpose.  I stuck a piece of masking tape in the nutdriver to hold the orifice in place while putting it in.  The whole change took me about 5 minutes, but I knew what I was doing.

Now, I strongly recommend this range with the new burners....  I can't give it 5 stars because I did have problems in the beginning...


It seems like Thermador has a staff of people that goes on the internet and erases any reference to a cheaper replacement for its own filter for its side by side refrigerators. For some reason, a generic or cheaper version is impossible to find on a reliable basis. Even when you think you find one, there's always some review for my specific fridge that says "buyer beware - this generic filter doesn't fit your Thermador and leaks all over the place - don't do it, just pay Thermador for their ridiculously priced filter! Trust me an learn from my mistakes as I'm a verified Amazon purchaser" Thermador's filter number is #REPLFLTR20 and specific current model is #00750673 as of June 2017 (replaced #00752595 00655179) and this filter is ON SALE on their website for the low low low price of $108 down from $135.

That said, I don't feel like spending $216+/year for filters for my fridge. I hunted and hunted and saw that this Everydrop 3 might fit my fridge and took a chance. I CAN CONFIRM THAT THIS EVERYDROP 3 IS A DIRECT AND PERFECT FIT FOR MY THERMADOR FRIDGE. The filter cap you need to swap out from filter to filter fits perfectly, the filter fits in perfectly to the fridge, it is the exact same shape and size as the REPLFLTR20 with all the same features, there are no leaks, etc.

I'm sure some Thermador employee will come on here and say that their genuine REPLFLTR20 filter will make all your dreams come true with magical pixie dust, and this EveryDrop 3 on the other hand opens a portal to the Dark Dimension allowing demons to infiltrate your household, but this EveryDrop 3 is good enough for me. I ran 5 gallons of water through the filter - after 1 gallon the water was running clear, but just decided to keep running it. I'll probably flush two more gallons through for good measure. I'll report back if something goes wrong or the demons do appear.

In case there's another Thermador owner searching for a cheaper replacement filter, I have a Thermador Professional 48" side by side fridge and freezer #T42BD820NS10.

There might be some even cheaper generic filters that might fit (that replace this one), but $32 each is cheap enough for me for a "name brand" EveryDrop.
