Like with all major purchases, I researched the heck out of this machine and its competitors. My biggest issue is the fact that I'm in a condo in a busy metro area, and there is simply no room for a full-sized washer (much to my chagrin).  I'd been using the original washer and dryer that came with the unit--which was built in 1989! I will say, to Whirlpool's credit, that both were still working great; it was just time to upgrade to something cleaner and more energy efficient, and hopefully with larger capacity.  This machine really fits the bill. My laundry comes out smelling much more fresh and simply feels cleaner.  I've followed the advice of other front-load owners and left the door and soap dispenser open after wash cycles to allow them air-dry, and have had no issues with the foul smell (probably mildew) that other owners have complained of with this type of unit. Its incredibly quiet, which in a small condo is a big deal! The wash cycle is fairly long (circa 1 hour), but that's not been an issue. The only thing I can't do is wash my comforters; I still have to take them to a friend's house, but I have yet to find a 24" washer that *can* handle an item that large. Highly recommended!


Genuine GE filters cost about $40.  These filters cost less than half that.  Well apparently you really do get what you pay for.

When I first installed the filter I flushed the system like you're supposed to.  The first few cups of water came out loaded with black soot.  This was probably just dust from the filter, but the name-brand replacement filters I usually get have never done this.

After flushing the system by drawing a few gallons of water through my water dispenser the black is gone, and the water is almost crystal clear.  Almost.  But as clear as the water is looking now, unfiltered water I draw directly from my kitchen faucet is cleaner looking.  I don't know what's causing slight tint in the water but I'm not drinking it to find out.

Oh well, lesson learned.  I'm going to my local home improvement store right now to get a real filter, and I won't be ordering this brand again.  Ever.


To avoid that extra trip to the hardware store:
For my range you need a 7mm nut driver (NOT supplied), another review mentions 5mm.  1/4" and 5/16" drivers are too small and too large.  My range needed a 3/16" ratchet socket (1/4" socket set should have it) for the burner screws, a nut driver might do.
Screwdrivers including about a 1/8" straight blade that fits in a small tube (not flared out near the tip, can grind one down) for the burner idle adjustments (pull the control knobs off & look down the hollow shafts).
I have a gas manifold pressure gauge and will use it, probably not needed.  Just follow directions to convert the regulator, typically by unscrewing and flipping a piece over.
A flashlight, piece of baling wire, tape, inspection mirror and fine needle-nose pliers might come in handy to recover a dropped orifice.
Please see other reviews for more details; I particularly liked the tips in K. Ferrara's review.


Installed range hood in my open concept home, and immediately see/smell the difference!!! Now the open concept kitchen/living room makes great sense :) I had a little challenge b/c there was no clear opening to the roof, so I had to improvise with ceiling beam and insert oval duct pipe. Also, my high ceiling on angle, thus also had to improvise around the beam and ceiling's angle. In addition I used 6in-to-7in reducer and 7in duct pipe with 7in roof cap to increase upward flow. I decided to make hood as efficient as possible, since it is installed for a long time.
One small minus: the little aluminum flapping wings that come with the hood get extremely noisy at high speeds. So, I removed them b/c the roof cap has gravity damper flap included.
Of course the hood makes noise, but unlike the microwave, it actually sucks out the smell. All-in-all, very satisfied with the purchase. Hood looks and works great!


Well I really like the hood. Simple one push on or off buttons, push the speed you want and it comes on at that speed. Push off and it's off!
Some I looked stat a big box store took 4 pushes of the fan button to go from off to high!  First push just seems to wake up the circuit board and light the buttons. Second push turns fan on low, 3rd to med, 4th push to high. From low to off required three pushes. Stupid!

The filters look very well made. They have latches to release them that work really well and aren't just spring loaded friction fit with plastic pull tabs like most other hoods.

It's not quite but not too loud either. I don't mind it at all. The fan runs smooth and vibration / rattle free. The fan is metal, and I noticed a balancing weight clipped on it.

There is very little plastic in this hood. Mostly the wire junction boxes.

The light has only one light level and they do put out some heat.
I did seal the damper and duct when installing.

But...
My copy had an issue with the exhaust plate and the wire knockout holes. They were not fully punched when made, making removal much more difficult than it should have been.
Also the hood was almost 1/2 inch smaller than my exactly 30" cabinet leaving a gap on either side.


I ordered these filters to save money as compared with OEM filters, and the result was proving the old saw, "You get what you pay for." Installation was a snap, so I thought all was good. When I discovered the "change filter" notice kept showing up, I let it go a couple of days thinking/hoping it might just take a little time to recognize the filter. So, I tried another of the filters and got the same result. I had gotten an email from the supplier soon after my order was placed that thanked me and assured me they wanted me to be satisfied with my purchase. So, after the issue arose, I responded advising them of it and asking for any suggestions for resolution. Several business days have passed with no response from them, so I can only presume there was no sincerity in their assurances of satisfaction. The filters are now in the process of being returned to Amazon for refund, and I would have rated one star for the whole experience, but "hate" is a word I try not to use.


A simple google search of best college microwave brought this model up and I bought it considering its reasonable

price and its adherence to my dorm's wattage specifications. I have had 0 problems and all my food heats up really

well. It has mainly been used to heat up popcorn and Panda Express leftovers as well as the homemade instant

coffee. No problems so far and I hope that it stays that way. A plus is that the black and sliver model remains low

profile and sleek at the same time unlike many white boxes for microwaves that are out there. Just what I was

looking for. I only use the microwave for making my tea and warming up leftovers and vegables. I used to have a

white microwave in my kitchen, most of the appliances in my kitchen are black and the old microwave I had just

looked out of place. It also began to have problems. I knew it would not be too much longer before I needed to

replace that thing. I found the Danby microwave for a very nice value. The microwave works very well it is easy to

clean and I am very happy with it.


I had an issue receiving one of these vents that was not damaged or defective. I returned three of them back to Amazon before giving up. The way the product is packaged is really shoddy. Each package was also packaged a little differently.

The first one I ordered and received had an electrical problem. The light was randomly turning on and off after it was installed on my wall and the light button was getting stuck, so I returned it for a replacement. The second one I received had a damaged fan blade so when the blower was turned on it made a horrible noise. I sent that one back as well for a replacement (I'm an optimistic person.). I was hoping to receive one that wasn't defective, however I disappointingly received one that was damaged. There was a huge dent in the side. I didn't bother testing it to see if it was defective.

I feel like I've wasted a lot of time and energy with this whole ordeal. I really question the quality of this product even though it looks nice. The price seems a little too good to be true. The company needs better quality assurance/checking. I'll be buying a hood vent somewhere else.


Cleans the dishes - what few of them you can fit into it that is.....and that's the extent of the 'PROS'

The CONS -  The racks on this washer SUCK!  I'd be more polite but it's the truth - they REALLY SUCK.  Unless you have a lot of small, completely flat plates and never use bowls - this is NOT the washer for you.  The other issue is the bottom drawer, which essentially CANNOT be rolled out without it jumping the tracks and getting bunged up.

How a big company like Bosch could get something SOOOOOOO simple and basic SOOOOOOO wrong is beyond me but take my advice - AVOID THIS POORLY DESIGNED PIECE OF YOU KNOW WHAT.

My last washer was a Bosch and it was great - why they messed with a good thing is beyond me but I'm here to tell you - they've jumped the shark.

UPDATE - Dropping to 1 star.......I've been living with this thing now for nearly 2 years.....it is infuriatingly, stunningly moronic in design and I curse it every single day. That is all!


The Evaporator Motor does not come with a thermistor (temperature sensor) connected to the molex connector of this motor (my refrigerator model # is GSL25JFPEBS).  Due to this the old and new motor and sensor have to be cut and connected unless you have a molex remover tool which will cost you more money. Also keep in mind you have to purchase the thermistor (temperature sensor) separately if you can't remove it without damaging it. Also the wires of this motor were put into the blue rubber shoe that goes over the wires and into the connector wrong which will not allow them to go into the connector especially with the thermistor connected into it. My advice do what I did and buy a used motor that has the thermistor connected to it I found one on Ebay for $18 and it was "plug and play" easy to install and my fridge is working properly now search for the same original model # of the evaporator motor which is WR60X10043. Don't waste your time contacting GE (General Electric) either as they also don't have the motor with the thermistor connected to it. Go figure. One last piece of advice unless you know for sure your evaporator motor is bad look up on Youtube how to do a diagnostic test on GE evaporator motors which saved me from purchasing the wrong part (condenser motor) instead of an evaporator motor which is what I actually needed.


I tested this against a good scientific wet-dry bulb sling psychrometer, which I believe is as accurate as you can get. I confirmed that the temp readings of both devices agreed within 1 degree. It was impossible to compare the humidity readings of both to scientific accuracy because I was in a small room with the climate control running and thus there were both temp and humidity gradients happening in the room and there was no way to be sure the GSI device was "breathing exactly the same air" (so to speak) as the sling psychrometer (which much be physically spun around and creates it's own turbulence/air mixing). But I tested both several times and there was enough overlap of readings to make me think the GSI device is likely within spec per relative humidity readings. One could do a salt test to find out just how accurate it is but for my purposes it's good enough. If it does what it's supposed to do (it appears to) and lasts a long time (remains to be seen), what makes this item a big winner to me is the low price. I've wanted one for a long time but always held off because they're usually a lot more expensive.


It's only been one day, but I really like these refrigerator/freezer bulbs. They give off a nice bright white light with very little of the 'blue' tint that many Daylight LED bulbs have.. and they give off almost NO heat whatsoever. They are just slightly larger in than an incandescent A15 appliance bulb, but I didn't have any problems fitting them within the plastic light cover in my Kenmore Trio fridge.

The drawback... they are expensive!! In fact, I almost went with a cheaper LED appliance-sized bulb, but I decided not to take the chance since they would be used in a damp environment. Right now, these GE bulbs appear to be one of a very few LED bulbs that are specifically rated for use in a refrigerator/freezer, which obviously allows them to charge more. Hopefully the price will come down as more brands start offering this type of LED bulb.

Assuming they actually live up to their life expectancy, they will be worth the cost. I'm actually getting ready to order another one to replace the bulb in my freezer too.


Packaging: 5 stars.  Box inside a box with styrofoam. Packed very well.
Setup: 5 stars. Remove tape from ice basket and plug it in.
Ice Making Speed: 5 stars.  This unit pumps out 9 small ice cubes every 8 minutes or so.  Good value for price.
Ice Quality: 4 stars. We made the ice in our home at 74 degrees.  Cubes were a bit wet and a little soft despite being made in an optimal air conditioned setting.
What I wish it had: I wish they put a small hanger or magnet for the scooper.  I rigged up a tiny command hook right above the product name.
1 month update: consistently drops 9 ice cubes every 8 minutes. Perfect for small parties if you start full. I really like this unit.

Great value for the money. Perfect for a small dinner party--say 4-6 adults.  Fill it in the morning and run it. Empty into an ice bucket at party time and refill with water to run during party--you won't run out of ice!  I paid full price and get/got zero for this review.


Certainly an interesting replacement part for the water tank assembly for my Kenmore Elite 79575543401.  It seems to be a great part...very flexible hose rated at 165 psi.  The only problem I had was that this hose is 1/4" and all the literature I can find says that it's a direct replacement for a water tank with 5/16" plugs which connect to two John Guest fittings.  Therefore, I had two choices - buy a piece of 5/16" hose and two John Guest fittings to get everything sized up properly; or just buy a 5/16" hose and return this part.  I chose the latter...fewer connections and less hassle....and ultimately less costly.  Therefore I sent this one back.

However, that doesn't mean it wasn't a great product.  Delivery was also quick and like the other reviews, the price was right.  The only comment I left for the vendor was to include the size of the hose in their description.  They claimed they didn't have any say over the wording in the descriptions.  I think I'd check my relationship with Amazon if they won't let me include my own description with parts that I'm selling.


My original ice maker in a still going GE refrig lasted about fifteen years.  I don't expect this one to last one year.
The unit is flimsy plastic.  It did not mount 90 deg to the side wall.  I had to prop it with an approx 1/4 thick shim along the bottom.  It jammed once and I cleared it by removing the unejected ice,  It jammed again but this time it ultimately cleared itself.  The instructions say you cannot use the ejector it comes with, but must swap in the ejector from your original unit.  Not possible in my case since this unit makes seven cubes and my original made eight.  The lengths of the ejectors are different.  The unit is not a direct replacement.  I expect it will jam again soon and when it does I will send it back.  I will replace it with one of the more expensive units.  (Incidently, one that makes eight cubes at once.)
I would not recommend this ice maker to anyone.  There are better ones available which cost more, but are probably better values..


We bought the whole set of GE cafe appliances for our new high-end kitchen. The set looks pretty good, but the performance of the stove (dual fuel) is really bad. From the beginning, the flames in the middle burner where so small, we couldn't use it at all. Then, the first knob broke. As it showed up, the inside of the knob is made out of plastic and cracks easily (the other three knobs died later on). One new knob costs close to $50 Dollars and is not even well made! Now, six years later, two of the gas valves broke and the repair ( including the replacement of 4 broken knobs) will cost over 450 Dollars!. We decided to repair the stove instead of buying a new one because of the high price. Imagine this bad product, made in Mexico, costing close to $3, 000!!! Who can afford buying a new stove every six years? Before, stoves lasted 50 years until you wanted to replace them for a newer model. Not any more...


Run, run, run as fast as you can from any GE Profile products. We bought four brand new appliances (stove, dishwasher, microwave, and worst of all the french door refrigerator) 3 years ago and have had trouble with all of them. The french door fridge stops cooling and we have had to have it repaired at least 3 times; each time having to pay several hundred dollars. This is after we have had to throw away tons of food, stash food in the snow outside (can only do in the winter months), have stuff melt all over, and borrow space from friends' and family fridges. The dishwasher is just as bad although I don't think it really was intended to wash dishes (you must pre-wash everything, which defeats the purpose of energy efficiency). Even when the fridge is working, it never seems to stay cool enough. I have filed a complaint with BBB. Please, do your research online for yourself. This is a common theme with GE Profile refrigerators. I have contacted their customer service and their suggestion was to buy a new appliance with the discount they will offer. Umm, no thanks, GE.

Immediately upon arrival I was disappointed. The box was busted with a HUGE hole in it. Unsurprisingly, when I opened it there were cracks and broken pieces all over; primarily in and around the washer. If it were just a crack or two I might just deal with it, but it was busted in at least 6 places. The top to the washer was popped off and broken. I was able to get it back on but only because the plastic pieces connecting it to the rest of the machine were broken as well. It's also got cracks on the inside, which you can see in my video.
***Ill update my review based on how they handle this situation.***


Bought this washer 11-26-12, great sale at HH Gregg. After two years, even though it is still in perfect working condition, we just got rid of it, literally gave it away. Today we replaced it with a Samsung front loader.

I have no doubt of its energy efficiency. It was also quiet and mostly vibration free. Super high spin cycle meant the dryer didn't have to work as hard...Why did we part ways with it??

IT BEATS THE CRAP OUT OF YOUR CLOTHES!!!!!!!!! Every time we used it, all of the clothes looked as if they were hand-braided. They were convoluted, braided, wrinkled, stretched-out messes. VERY hard on clothes. And, unless we put EVERY cycle on "BULKY" to give it more water, the clothes would come out half-clean. Even on this setting, often the clothes weren't really clean. And the bedding (sheets, pillowcases) always came out as a "mushroom", one sheet puffed up in the middle, with all the braided sheet and pillowcases stuffed witin. Very odd....

So, goodbye to Whirlpool Cabrio. Three loads done so far in the Samsung front loader, and it's a world of difference..........


To quote the company's write up, "The ReplacementBrand RB-SA2 is a comparable replacement water filter for the Samsung DA29-00020B, HAFCIN, DA29-00020A, AP5271937, Aquafresh WF294, and Water Sentinel WSS-2 Replacement Water Filters."
Since the life of this product is projected as about 6 months, I am unable to review the life expectancy at this point.  I have entered a note in my calendar to update in February 2016 - or later, if it is still doing it's job.
At this point, I can only state that the ReplacmentBrand RB-SA2 filter appears structurally the same as the original filter by Samsung.  It inserts readily into the filter opening of the Samsung refrigerator and locks correctly with reasonable effort.  Draining the air from the water line went smoothly, with less air than the previous times I have replaced the original filter with a Samsung brand filter.
I do not have the ability to test for chemicals in the output water; taste at this point is good.


The hood looks nice and initially worked well. We are pleased with the 6 suction levels, and 2 lights. However, the company has to do better on the quality of the parts. Much better. First, the A couple of weeks after installation the lights and suction shut off. After 6 weeks of phone calls and waiting, the company sent a tech to replace the faulted electric board. Second, recently the one of the two lights (halogen lights) got loose and hangs off the horizontal plate.  Now we are trying to have someone coming to fix that. I expect they will do it because we are still within the warranty time. But I wonder what else will happen after the warranty expires.
Update: after some waiting, they sent two new bulbs at no cost. They were easy to install. Since then, the hood works very well. It is efficient and sleek. The 6 speeds makes it very practical. I am frying and grilling in my open kitchen and do not get smoke or odors in the rest of the house. I would up the rating to a 3 to 4 stars.


I give this one star because it won't let me go lower. This is a knock-off piece of junk. I just now wrote a check for $92.40 to a refrigerator repairman to figure out why my water dispenser totally stopped working....you guessed it.....right after I installed this "filter." There is a little black gasket/seal just below the part that plugs into the refrigerator. Only it isn't attached and when you "plug in" the filter it really doesn't plug in. SO....I found a reliable repairman, made an appointment, did without the water dispenser, took time off from work (which inconvenienced a lot of other people) to meet the repairman at the house. It took him 16 minutes to diagnose and show me the problem. Now, I am going back to work, but I will have to leave early to go by the reputable local parts store where I will purchase an actual working filter. Obviously, I am not going to pay postage to return this faulty filter. It's a design defect. Re-read this last sentence please. It is a design defect. It doesn't work. Never would work. It's not a secret.


First, it's a really great idea.

But it fails on assembly where they link the round sheet metal to the flat sheet metal.  It's not quite spot welds and not quite crimped together.  It's sort of crimped together.  Very little pressure will separate the rings from the metal housing.

It's easily fixed with a few rivets but it's a cheap, half-arsed design.

They were nice enough to put a sticker on to say which side goes to the dryer output.  Which is VERY odd since this thing is actually two halves of the same piece slid together.  Maybe they think that because air is flowing in a certain direction it won't escape out the gaps in the metal.  Realistically, once this thing is connected you should use foil tape to cover the gap at the slip joint.

So you'll need this, clamps, foil tape, and a delicate touch.  I ended up using flexible hose and accepted that the dryer would be 6 inches from the wall.


I received the bearing kit promptly and intact. All items were protected in individual heavy duty envelopes within the box.  After reading many reviews and comments I decided to pass on buying the ridiculously overpriced installation tool ($100 for a minute of use is insane for a homeowner to pay for a one-time use) and go another route. I cleaned out the areas where the bearings go very thoroughly and greased the outside of the bearings before installing them. I placed the old bearing on top of the new bearing to give myself something to hammer them in with.. I took my time and used less force and more hits to gently drive the bearings in. I then put my finger through the bearings to feel if there were any gaps between the bearings and the housing. When I was sure that they were fully seated I continued the rest of the reassembly. When I put the shifter in I manually spun it and found that there was no binding or rubbing. After final assembly I let the glue dry overnight according to instructions. The next day I ran a light load of clothes to try it out and the machine ran as expected and was super quiet again during the spin cycles.


i spent 2 weeks researching portable mini washing machines & decided on this & am SO glad i got the Panda washer & spin dryer as separate units. buying them individually means that i can use them simultaneously, that it's lighter to move around--10 to 13 pounds each; that less space is taken up in the bathtub where i place the washer on 2 of those little plastic, foldable step stools and that i won't lose both units if 1 of them goes out. i live in an apartment & HATE the washers in the laundryroom. NOW, i can wash clothes on MY time, ANY time, as often as i want, rinse as much as i want and NO MORE QUARTERS (except for the 50 i use in the laundryroom dryers). 25 years ago i bought an Avanti portable (plastic) washer for about $45; now, they're $400 each; including shipiing, my Panda washer & spin dryer cost exactly $200. The Avanti was quite loud with a big grinding noise--so much so that my downstairs neighbor asked me about the big noise. The Panda is SO quiet, i'm amazed. Quiet is very important to me. The Spin Dryer is even quieter. I'm so please with The Panda that i'm buying the washer & dryer (separately) for a friend.


Arrived slightly dented, looks like something heavy hit the box during transportation. Nevertheless, works great. No leaks after I tightened hoses a little. If you want to connect it to faucet, you should connect the adapter to the faucet first. In order to do that, your faucet should have special threads either on the inside or outside. If you have aerator installed, you should detach it and install the adapter instead. It is not great aerator, water easily splashes all around when you use it not with dishwasher.

Connection is easy, instruction is pretty clear, it cleans dishes very well. I had some problems with tables - at some points they were not dissolving fully. Cleaning up the mess is, well, messy. I switched to gel and moved cutlery basket slightly inside the dishwasher (so the detergent dispenser cannot even touch it) and have not had any problems afterwards.

10" plates fit in easily, but you have to read instruction first - they won't fit on nearest racks, you should use the racks near the far side - they're slightly lower. Small size of the dishwasher also implies that you cannot fit a lot of pans or pots here, and it's an adventure to fit everything you want to. Say, big tall glasses will take a lot of space, and big glass baking pan will take the entire space.


I was sticker-shocked with the price of the name brand filter for our refrigerator.  Plus, it was to be changed twice a year!  Money doesn't grow on trees and $50 a filter was must more than we could even squeeze into the budget .... like most people these days.  So, before I took the plunge to purchase "generic," I turned to my group of "experts"... Facebook friends!  They'll tell it like it is!  I had probaby 12 to 15 responses and all but one said, "Go with the compatiable one."  I read the reviews of several filters which are compatiable with our refrigerator and settled on the one from Pure Line.  The price was great and I appreciated the reviews I read.  To help me install the Pure Line, I compared were the little mark on the name-brand was located and easily inserted the new filter.  No problems thus far!  The name brand lasted 5 months before the light came on.  I am anxious to see how this one compares.  And, to make sure I don't forget about it, Pure Line gives you a small magnet to date when you installed your filter!  :)


I recently moved in to an old house with old Jenn Air appliances and kitchen sink.  One of the biggest pet peeves of mine is that this little flap that keeps food from splashing into your face when you turn on the disposal was so worn out that it fell into the disposal just about every time that you turned the disposal on.  Finally fed up, I began trying to find a replacement part but apparently Jenn Air no longer makes it which left me scrambling trying to find one that would be a good fit for my big kitchen sink.  After doing some research and reading the reviews, I finally chose this InSink Erator QCB-AM AntiMicrobial Quiet Collar Sink Baffle and then  ordered it from Amazon.  When it arrived I was actually excited (you would be too if yucky food had repeatedly splashed up in your face when the disposal went on) to try it to see if it fit and how well as well as if it really did quiet my monster loud disposal.  Well......Woohoo!!  I literally just dropped it into place and it fit PERFECTLY with no modifications needed and my extremely loud disposal noise was reduced by a good 60%.  I am thrilled with this new little gadget for my sink and if you are also in need of one this size then I would highly recommend that you give this one a try!!


A little challenging to install, but the control over system speed is amazing. Much quieter whole-house-fan operation and smooth transition between speeds means home occupants don't even know it's running.

It can be set up to run at a constant low speed even when no fan signal is supplied, which is great for equalizing temperatures throughout the house without having to run the fan at 100%. I suspect I'll see energy savings as well.

This is very challenging to install for a homeowner without prior HVAC experience, but you should be able to do it if you are good at figuring things out.

It's helpful to attack with a basic understanding of furnace blower technology - there are two voltages supplied, full 110v to the motor windings and a 24VAC circuit supplied to the fan control. When a 24V circuit is applied to one of the signal wires, the fan will spin. Several wires are provided, each of which will spin the fan at a different speed. You can wire up your system to spin at a lower speed for fan control, or a higher speed for furnace, humidifier or AC control. It's pretty neat.


It worked reasonably well for almost a month, cleaning about 4 out of 5 loads spotlessly.  Then one day it just wouldn't turn on.  No power, no lights, no button responses.  Reset breaker, checked for live power, redid junction box connections, still dead.  Would not touch Electrolux with a 10 foot pole at this point.  I should have gone with Bosch.

EDIT: So you didn't think my review was helpful?  Let me elaborate then:

After the first time it broke, they came to replace the control board.  It then worked for 1 week, then broke again with the same symptoms. So they replaced the control board AGAIN, this time also replacing the whole touch panel too.  THIS time it seems to be working, but it could because I'm no longer using the heated dry option, which I suspect overheats and destroys their garbage control board stuffed into the back of the unnit.

Did I mention it took WEEKS to schedule warranty service it between each incident?  I had to buy a $200 countertop dishwasher in the meanintime which never broke down.  If you buy this brand after reading this, you must be a fool.


Did not know for sure what was wrong with my very old front loading frigidaire washing machine, it started making lots of banging noise and moving. I started with the shock absorbers hoping this would fix. Needed help to move the machine away from the wall and watched a few different videos on youtube.com on how to change out. I'm a 61 yr old grandma and it was doable, except for moving the machine around. My cousin put it on a carpeted furniture dolly for me that helped a great deal. You can get a cheap dolly with wheels at a hardware store like lower or home depot. Well the next day after I changed out the parts we put the machine back and the baby purred like new. Was positive the old pins would not fit but they did. The old shock absorbers fell apart when removed. I'm so proud of myself. Two years ago I changed out the drain pump when the washer would not spin leaving the clothes soaked. These fixes only require a few tools and youtube will show you how to do it.


The Kenmore repair parts list which I have had for my washer since I bought it, calls out the P/N 5303207418 for the cold/hot solenoid fill valve. This part that I was shipped is NOT a replacement part for 5303207418 as the description clearly states. The mount bracket is not at all the same. I had to cut the included bracket with a metal blade on an angle grinder, then get different mount bracket screws for the screws for the Kenmore bracket would not work on the replacement bracket.

I would not have gone to this trouble at all had it not been for the fact that my washer and dryer are stacked. I had to use another person to lift the dryer off with me. It was then that I discovered the above problem. I really had no choice but to modify it to fit.

Unless you are very mechanically adept and have a lot of extra time with which you do not know what to occupy it with, this is definitely a BAD replacement choice for the Kenmore!

The correct one (I now know) is PART # 134190200 OR AP3363282 GENUINE FACTORY OEM ORIGINAL CLOTHES WASHER WATER INLET VALVE listed on the amazon.com site.


We have a very small galley type kitchen with no window so ventilation is an issue. Cooking well done burgers in a fry pan can cause a little smoke and since there is nowhere for it to go, I figured this hood will help out there. We are using it ductless with a charcoal type filter and it's working great. Another huge benefit to this is the light. I put a 40 watt bulb in and if you put the switch in the first position you get the full 40 watts. If you click again, it decreases the brightness. That's a nice additional feature.

I chose this model over others because it has an infinite fan speed control. Rather than a two speed, low or high setting, this one has a dial that you can move and as you go up, the speed gets faster. It can be somewhat loud on the highest speed. I don't see us ever using that one though. The middle speed has some noise but not bad at all. Just make sure if you are using this ductless to remove the tab on the front to let the airflow come through.

One other thing that I did not know: This unit and most others do NOT come with a plug that you put into an outlet. There are three wires and it is assumed that it will be connected directly to the electrical system in the home.


I purchased this item, a replacement lint trap for my dryer. I compared the part number stamped on the lint trap currently being used on my dryer. The part number was exactly the same except for the colour indicator. I ordered the part which was $13 and a $5 shipping charge. The part I received wasn't exactly the correct one. I contacted the seller who told me to return it, and they would refund the cost of the part but not the freight. Basically I should spent a total of $10 to return a $13 item. The seller has a good thing going, they can make money just from the shipping. They send the incorrect item, you return it and pay for the shipping both ways. They then resell the item again and again, and again. It wasn't just that the freight was not to be refunded, it was the attitude. You have no way to pick up a telephone and ask questions, to speak to someone. What are they afraid of?

I would tell everyone to forget this seller exists and find the product elsewhere as I will.


After 2 years of a new leaking Maytag Centennial, I decided that ditching the $600 leaker was worth my peace of mind.  After 40 years of Sears loyalty, I decided never do business with them again!  The Centennial leaked intermittently and I was told there was nothing wrong with it - it was the design of the machine!! Service threatened to charge for a call although under warranty because repair people could find nothing wrong.

My new Amana is wonderful!  After being very anxious after my previous experience, I can say nothing bad about this washer.  It cleans - WOW!  It doesn't leak onto the floor - WOW!  It is SOOO QUIET - WOW! It isn't overpriced liked most front loaders (or for that matter, most machines) - WOW! It is kind of like the olden days when you bought a washer and it didn't have problems - WOW!

MAY 2010 UPDATE:  ALMOST A YEAR LATER AND THIS WASHER STILL WORKS FLAWLESSLY!
  Cleans wonderfully, clothes dry very quickly, and my water
  bill bill has gone down.


I've had this kegerator for a bit over 2 months now and really enjoy it. It fits a standard 1/2 keg perfectly (with some room for a few bottles/cans), keeps it cold, and is easy to clean. Set up was not difficult at all, thanks to the included instructions. However, I have two minor issues which prevent me from giving it 5 stars (I'd give it 4.5 if it was an option):

1) It comes with an empty 5lb CO2 tank. In NYC it is hard to find a place that will do an exchange for a 5lb tank, so I ended up having to spend a lot of money on a 10lb tank.
2) The tubing from keg to the faucet is shorter than ideal, which can lead to excess foam. Replacing it with a longer tube (if you find it necessary) is easy and cheap, so it's not a big deal.

Beyond those two very minor issues, it is an excellent purchase, definitely a 4.5/5.


Since the original part (AP3996921/2307048) for my refrigerator (Kitchenaid KSCS25FTMS02) wasn't available, I used this part to piece together a solution that got the job done. I tried just replacing the original part with this one, but the angles of the cam didn't work with the other half of the cam on the cabinet hinge. What did work was also replacing the bottom hinge cam with a part in the Whirlpool R0181181 Door Closure Kit (also on Amazon Whirlpool R0181181 Door Closure Kit). The bottom hinge cam didn't have the right sized hole, but a 3/8" drill bit through the existing smaller hole worked perfectly. There may be other parts that work, but that combination got the job done since the correct part isn't available anywhere any more. I'm posting this for this review in case someone else out there is stuck like I was. Now the door closes like a dream.


We ordered this compact fridge to replace our old small one in our mater suite. This one is so well thought out with its inside storage options. We love all the door racks, especially the new can holder part (so much better than the old drop and stack rack) that will hold various can sizes. We presently have stocked it with many things, and there's still room. We love the bottom drawer for cheese and fruit.

It fits perfectly under the counter, and compliments our toaster oven, coffee maker, microwave (that we also bought at Amazon), and TV. Also, since it's in our master closet, not too far from our bed, we really appreciate how quiet it is. The glass shelves are a plus. Our old one had open wire racks, and items were constantly falling through the wires, and spills can easily be cleaned up without dripping through the lower racks.

I couldn't be happier with this unit, and feel it's worth every bit the cost which we feel is a bargain for what we got.


I must admit I was skeptical that this would perform as well as the description on "Product Features" displayed here at Amazon.com.  Our dryer duct is over 30 feet long and I had taken it apart to clean on several occasions before. Getting all the lint out of even more than one 3 foot section at a time was a challenge as the lint seems to stick as though someone glued it in place. I ordered the Gardus R3203612 LintEater 12-Foot Extension Kit to go with the cleaning kit.  The extensions are the same as the rods that come with the kit and extend the reach an additional 12 feet.
I placed the vacuum attachment on the end where the dryer would be connected and went outside to feed the  brush with the rod into the duct (per instructions) one rod at a time.  It seems to be a simple operation, with the adding each rod separately until the end is reached.  I my case, I had to finish by going into the house to clean the last 6-8 feet from inside as the 24 length was still not long enough to reach the end.  The vacuum attachment has a port for the rods in that scenario, also.
Upon looking down the duct with a flashlight, it looked surprisingly clean.  I would recommend this item, especially if the lint build up in your dryer vent is difficult to clean out.


I absolutely love this nostalgic beverage fridge for its design, but the location of switches can be an inconvenience. The lights do not automatically turn on when you open the fridge, but there is a switch on the back inside the lower of two holes. Each of the two holes has a grommet to prevent being cut by the sharp edges of the hole. The upper hole is for access to the temperature settings and lower hole is for access to the light switch. If the fridge is sitting on the floor as mine is, I have to slide the unit around so I can actually reach the holes (on the same side as the door hinge). I do not consider than a negative, but I can see where some folks would.  The temperature comes set on 3 of 5, so I left it there and it keeps the filled fridge icy cold. With the lights on, it is stunning and gets many compliments.  I would think that the locking capability would come in handy if you stored alcoholic beverages in there. So in the decision between nostalgia and convenience, I chose nostalgia.  I have used it daily since I purchased it in early Dec 2016, and I am happy with my decision.


Updated  1/4/18 It appears Best Air has changed the wick material, as compared to those we have purchased in the past.  To extend life we turn the wick every time we fill the water container.  The present generation draw the water very well but the material is very fragile.  Just touching it when you lift the wick to turn it over causes the material to fall apart - like wet toilet paper.  NOTE WE do not recommend you touch the wick material after original installation.  DO NOT plan on turning this wick.  If there is reliable wick out there priced reasonably, I haven't found it at this time.  There is a definite need for a long life low cost wick.  This wick does have a built in metal center support which helps to keep the shape of the wick. But if you can't turn the wick it appears the additional structural metal center piece is a negative because of the very thin paper wick material falling from the center support.  If you don't plan on turning the wick or paying for the extra manufacturing cost of the center support two stars.


I'm happy to report that I did indeed receive an authentic OEM Whirlpool heating element, just as described and pictured.  Yes, it had the stamped  FSP mark on it ("An abbreviation for Factory Specification Parts. Used by Whirlpool to differentiate genuine factory replacement parts from those of after market or universal replacement parts.")  There are a number of off-brand knock-offs available elsewhere on Amazon, most at significantly lower prices, so make sure you know what you're getting.  If you're getting a knock-off from THIS listing, you didn't get the right part.

The element was identical to the one taken from my Kenmore dryer (well, except this one did not have the open coil that caused the failure, of course!).  The whole replacement process could not have been easier -- check YouTube for any of several very helpful videos on the procedure.  Most of the work was in the guilty and long-overdue lint cleanup.  The dryer is back in operation after minimal downtime, thanks to Amazon Prime 1-day shipping.


WARNING! Stay away from Electrolux. We have had nothing but problems with all of our appliances. We made the big mistake three years ago of buying all new electrolux appliances for our kitchen and we have had nothing but problems just like most of the other reviewers around the internet.

While this review is only on the dishwasher, we have experienced problems with our Electrolux fridge, stove, oven, compactor and hood vent.

This last week our dishwasher made several pop sounds, then our kitchen filled with the smell of electronics burning and then the dishwasher went dead. Only lasted 3 years :(

Electrolux repair and service is a nightmare to deal with, so we just decided to purchase a Bosch to replace it with. The plan it to start replacing all electrolux appliances with another brand and never again will I buy electrolux. Lifetime ban, and I've made sure to tell as many people as possible about our bad experience.

Save yourself time and money and avoid this brand. Also be careful to research other brands as Electrolux also makes some Kenmore appliances.


These feel like really well constructed hoses, and they are long and plenty flexible for any reasonble gap behind a washer. They have really nice, thick, rubber washers, and I didn't have any issues or leaks, and as I removed my old rubber hoses, I noticed one was completely missing the rubber washer - it had rotted away, and the metal itself was starting to corrode in 2 places, and I would think it was a good candidate to start leaking in a major way.

One criticism, and I'm not sure if will matter to some - I had just replaced my mixing valve, and it was corroded and jammed with sediment. So when I replaced it, the water flow was tremendously improved - it could really fill fast, hot, cold, or mixed. But when I replaced the old rubber hoses with these braided ones a couple of weeks later, the water flow rate dropped noticeably. I didn't notice any restrictors in the ends, so I'm guessing the inside diamter is just smaller than the old ones.

It's not a a deal breaker, and if I hadn't just replaced my mixing valves, I probably wouldn't have noticed, but if you're super focuses on flow rate, I'd try another type.


Leaked everywhere.  Had to get a refrigerator repair man out only to find out that the problem was the filter that I purchased months ago so I could not return it.  I bought another filter directly from kitchen aid (which is not typical for me - I love amazon and amazon pricing) and the leaking stopped almost immediately.  The filter that I received from kitchen aid is the exact same filter with the exact same part number but the label looks very different.  I worry that this one was not the real deal.  Maybe a knock of, maybe an older version, maybe stay away from the seller of this one.  I can not say for sure but if you want the base boards around your fridge not to rot then think twice about buying these 3rd party.  If I could've put less than 1 start then I'm would have.  It is hard to see the water in the pic that I uploaded but trust me it had ran down my entire kitchen when I got back from being out of town.  Very disappointed not knowing who to trust.


The unit works great! It has ample power to clear the room of smoke rapidly, but isn't as loud as I would have expected at maximum. Using the lowest fan speed makes minimal noise and is adequate to maintain clean and clear room air for most cooking, although the other night we did some high heat stir fry in a wok that requires bumping up to the second fan. Im pleasantly pleased with how easy it is to remove the panels and clean the drip tray, as I was originally eyeballing other brands and models that use a water cleaning system. With this unit, you just pop the panels and tray in the dishwasher and removal/reinstallation is quick and painless.

One small complaint: the touch control for the light and fan are a bit finnicky. You get used to them, but they aren't as responsive you might expect. Also, if you power-off the unit, it turns off the fans after a 60-second cool down, but this also turns off the light. I wish the light didn't get automatically turned off after the cool down as well, but its not a big deal.

Overall, Im very pleased with the product, and I feel like we got a LOT more brawny unit than one would typically get for the price at a box store.


My LG 4801CW machine recently failed in the middle of a load. The circuit was tripped and the machine would no longer power on.  I did some research and it looked like either the (noise) filter assembly or control board failed.  So I took out a multimeter and tested it.

There was power coming into the filter assembly through the yellow and white plugs but no power was leaving through the red and blue plugs (it read around 10 volts and should have been around 110).  So with this I knew the filter assembly was bad.

I jumped the power across the yellow and white wires to the board and the board started to smoke so I know that was bad too.  I'm not sure which one failed first, but I did know both were bad so I ordered the "6201EC2002J Washing Machine Filter Assembly" and the "6201EC2002J Washing Machine Filter Assembly", swapped them out with the bad parts, and reassembled the machine.

It powered up right away and has been working well for a couple of days now.  Great replacement parts and it saved me a ton of money when my two options were to buy a new machine or call a repair guy out to do the same work.


After reading all the various review, both good and bad, I decided to purchase this beverage cooler to replace an aging soda machine on its last legs.  The cooler arrived in excellent shape.  No dings, bangs, or gouges in the box at all.  As noted by other reviewers, the box was double walled, with the beverage cooler in it's own box (protected by a layer of styrofoam), and an outer box separated by styrofoam spacers as well.  When I unboxed the cooler itself, it was in pristine condition.  No scrapers or anything.  So, so far so good.  I got it set up, and turned on, and it's very quiet.  So quiet, it's right around the corner from our couches in the t.v. room, and we can't hear it.  I put a digital fridge thermometer in it, and slowly adjusted the dial downwards after waiting the 30 minutes the instructions said to wait on the initial setting.  At about setting 6, it's a fairly steady 34-35 degrees.  The soda is nice and cold (so my wife says, as I don't drink soda).  All in all, this was a great purchase.


I purchased this machine on a 'black friday' sale after Thanksgiving from home depot & quickly learned what a mistake I made.  The agitator is 1/2 the normal size & has corners on it that snag all your clothes, no matter the setting (I loaded the machine according to the instruction manual).  Besides the agitator making tears in your clothes, it also twists up all long sleeved jerseys or jeans (I wash them separate from each other, but whatever you're washing, sheets, jeans or shirts it will twist up & stretch out all loads equally).  On top of that, even when loading correctly & not over filling... it will sometimes become imbalanced - no matter the setting.  When this happens, the machine will continue its cycle, banging loudly because it does not have an auto shut off like every other machine in history.  So don't go out & leave the washer going, who knows what would happen if it continues without your intervention.  Lastly, the machine instructions tell you not to use regular detergent, so you're forced to purchase High Efficiency detergents, which are more expensive.  DO NOT BUY THIS MACHINE, YOU'LL REGRET IT!!!


EUREKA! I found the problem.

As many have stated here the Whirlpool Kenmore and God knows what other rebadge have a problem.

I was ready to replace yet another, 3rd to be precise, rack adjuster, when I started studying the
whole contraption and noted that the adjusters are NOT IN THE MIDDLE. Instead, they lay at the border
between the mid and rear third of the tray, so they can make room for the glass stem holder on one side.
Of course there will tremendous force on the wheel hubs as the closed rail now acts as a lever, remember Archimedes?

So I threw the glass stem holder in the trash and transplanted both adjusters to the middle. They love it over
there, the whole tray has been sliding with great ease now for 3 months, fingers crossed.

Sorry for delay, I wanted to make sure it worked.

My next idea will be to install total of 4 roller assemblies, that is if it breaks down again.


We purchase our Whirlpool Cabrio washer and dryer November 2011.  The washer is a top loader.  When they were delivered to our home the delivery man told us these washing machines always go out in three years time.  I was hoping it would at least last five years or more, but it did not.  December 2014 it started making a loud squeaking noise while washing and when the spin cycle came on it made an atrocious loud noise.  The warranty had run out so we called a reputable appliance repair company that we have used before and he set the machine to run to listen to it.  It turned out that it was the bearings and would need a new tub, which was going to cost us $658.00.  I told him that in the long run we'd be better off and it would be cheaper to just buy a new washer/dryer set and he agreed.  He, also, said the washing machines with the agitators are better and last much longer.  Before we purchased this Cabrio washer/dryer set, we had a Whirlpool washer/dryer set that lasted over ten years and I think we will be going back to these models where the washer has an agitator.


We bought this washer and within two years it was making a "freight train" sound with each spin cycle.  Called Home Depot and Maytag.  They both said machine is just loud.  Funny how it wasn't loud in the beginning.  The noise got so bad we couldn't be on the phone or watching TV while washing clothes.  CRAZY!  Finally after three years, in the middle of a spin cycle, it made knocking sounds and came to a halt, dead.  I hadn't purchased the extended warranty because I thought Maytag was a quality product and would last at least 7+ years.  WRONG.  I just bought a new LG washer.  Will never purchase Maytag again.  For those of you who are just experiencing loud spinning, call Maytag and don't fall for the "they are just loud" mess.  Obviously we didn't walk into Home Depot and say "we would like your loudest machine please".  DUH.  Very disappointed in Maytag.


It worked fine while it worked for ice making. It started malfunctioning at 11 months of owning it by not stopping the production of ice (sensor probably broke) and the motors that move the tray inside the machine broke at 1 year of owning it. It didn't feel like it was worth the money that was paid for it. Especially because aside from breaking down, it never kept ice cold and never held enough ice. The ice dispenser also jammed very frequently.

The tubing inside the machine is filled with plastic dust that I was never able to clear out of it, no matter how hard I tried. This made the water dispenser dispense disgusting plastic tasting water. On top of that, the inside of the water tank started growing some sort of pink bacteria which then started making all of the water dispensed have flakes of the bacteria in it. I'm sure the ice had it too, but I couldn't tell.

Overall I'm very dissatisfied with the build quality of the machine and would not buy anything from this company again.


Love this fan.  I bought this to replace an over-the stove microwave/fan that did not do anything at all and eventually it stopped working after all the grease accumulated on it, so I refused to spend another $400 on buying another microwave/fan that would break after a few year and does not even do the job.  After returning a previous one because the vent was too wide (8"), this one did the trick because the exhaust was 6" and it could be adjusted to 4 which is more of a normal range (4-6) for a house fan.  Is not that noisy, I would say is normal, even on the 2nd setting and I rarely need to use the 3rd setting because is powerful enough.  Love the fact that I can leave it on the timer and walk away to have dinner after cooking and then it will turn off itself after 5 minutes or so.  The 2 light settings are nice as well.  Very pleased with the purchase.


First things first:  Knobs that are for use on a kitchen range shouldn't use a plastic that will soften and deform when exposed to the temperatures they'll encounter on the front of a range, such as when the oven door is open while you baste a turkey.  These aren't made of high-temp plastic, so they do just that.
Secondly, the metallic rings that have the settings printed on them don't stick down on the knob worth a darn.  The adhesive isn't up to it, and the shape of the ring doesn't match the shape of the knob very well, so they want to pop off almost immediately.
Thirdly, the inserts need to be glued into the knobs, or they won't stay, and I had to do some filing inside the shaft hole to even get them to fit an ordinary Kenmore's controls.

Bottom line is, I wasted my money, and my time, and ended up going out and buying the more expensive, 'original equipment' type knobs I should have paid for in the first place.


My boss had purchased an ice machine for his office and I though it was a great idea so I purchased one as well about a year ago.  It died a short time ago so I bought this one. Then the one my boss had died as well.  It was an Igloo brand.  I hope a year is not the average life span of these ice makers.  I like the style of this one better than the last one because of the larger acrylic window on top.  You can see what stage the ice is in. But this machine is more noisy than my last ice machine.  It makes ice quickly.  I generally only use it if I have having company or to fill the ice bucket in my freezer, but I don't run this machine 24/7.  If you are a light sleeper and have a small home you will need to turn it off at night or the dropping ice will wake you up. The full bucket of ice will gradually melt back into the water reservoir for the cycle to begin again.  If you don't have an ice maker in your refrigerator, these are great.


So far this product has been great. It holds a bit less than my last 3.5 cu ft freezer but it runs nicely. It is quiet and the only sound it makes is a click when the compressor or whatever turns on but other than that it's quiet and you don't even hear it running. It does put out quite a bit of heat though so take that into consideration for where to place it. I was able to fit it into my tiny kitchen even with a table in there. We just received our electric bill and this freezer doesn't seem to have had any noticeable affect on it at all, so hurray for that! I purchased a similar one (Emerson) back in May from another store because it was cheaper but it turned out it was noisy when the compressor came on and noisy while it was cooling, noisy when the compressor went off and then it broke down two weeks after I purchased it and all my food spoiled. This one cost about $30 more but so far it was well worth every penny.


We are a family of four living in Houston, TX. We have now 18 months  experience with these filters. We use about 2 gallons a day from the refridgerator on average. The filter has been changed each time the water flow is low. That means that it is possible to use the filter for a longer time, but where you'll have to wait for considerable time due to low flow rate.

Below is a description of the cycles with change dates:
January 23, 2012
December 2,2012
October 12, 2012
August 12, 2012
April 26, 2012
January 30, 2012
October 23, 2011
August 13, 2011

If you include the vacation time where the water filter has not been in use, the average living time is about 60 days. Let us say that we are adding one gallon of water use to be on the safe side, ie. 3 gallons a day .The the filter will last about 200 gallons.

It can be something with the water in Houston that contains a high degree of impurities.

However, the filter is giving good quality on the water which is the main issue. However, it is at a higher price than what you is lead to believe when reading the product description.


I too had the same problems as others. I thought the cookware came with it - and now instead of paying $29.95 they want $69,95 - their on line service should be a lot more clearer. Their customer service via email - takes forever for someone to get back to you - the best thing to do is call - I will have to give them credit for changing my address for me, but I think they should honor their prices if we make a mistake in ordering their product. Their first question on their list is, why did my cookware not arrive with my cooktop? What does that say about this company? I do love the cooktop, but found out you can't use all cookware with the cooktop, which is my fault. They need to redo their website to be clearer when ordering - to make sure we know that the cookware doesn't come with the cooktop, you must check the box to get it - too late for me, but maybe my comment will help others. I would of gave it five stars if they would give me my cookware for $29.95!


This is our third Rival Cool Touch Deep Fryer.  Our first one we had for several years.  After awhile, it just became so dirty, we couldn't keep it looking decent.  We had our second one for a couple of years and it was starting to look a little grimy.  Then my daughter almost dropped it.  Luckily the oil was cold.  But, in the process of saving the fryer from falling, she some how knocked the control panel into the oil.  I started looking for another Cool Touch Fryer.  This model is becoming hard to find.  This one is almost exactly like the first two we had.  Slight change in the control panel and the basket is a little lighter weight.  We've used it about 4 times in the month we've had it.  Works just like our previous two.  We love how we can close the lid while deep frying.  No grease splatters or worries about a grease fire.  We loved our first two and this one looks like it will be three winners in a row.

I detest doing dishes and my apartment doesn't come with a dishwasher. This has seriously made my life so much easier, as I live with my almost 4 year old son. My dishes used to pile up because I hated having to hand wash them. I'd rather scrub my toilet daily than do dishes. Twenty years of food service will do that to you. The attachment was included for my faucet head. I installed it myself and have had 0 problems thus far.

I am BEYOND pleased with my purchase.

I did add rinse agent prior to use and use the Cascade Platinum Packs and my dishes come out spotless!

If you are like me and HATE dishes, you should really buy this!


We were getting bad smells in the laundry room.  Things that I thought:
Mildew from front load washer - we leave it open
gas from sewer line - liquid fired the drain
dead mouse in dryer vent - bought a vent that seals and prevents bugs and cold air
gas coming from septic outside and coming in dryer vent - got this product

This lets me vent the warm hot air from the dryer into the house.  Our laundry is on the second floor and opens into a large part of the home/stairwell.  So I am not worried at all about too much moisture and mildew but if you were in a tight place this might be and issue.

Pros: Works with modification.  I took some painter's tape and sealed the cracks and gaps this unit has.

Cons:
Lever is on the wrong side for our layout.  Sort of a pain but since I'll only switch once or twice a year not a big deal.
Filter is worthless - I put on one of my wifes nylon tube socks and this does the trick perfectly - (NOTE you will have to clean out the sock to keep the dryer drying)

With my mods I am pleased with this purchase.


We first ordered a door gasket to replace in our dishwasher where the picture showed a notch out of the middle of it. It was the right part number, but ours we took out was solid without a notch. When we tried it the door still leaked, but our spray arm also had a melted spot on it that was spraying right at the door and we weren't sure if the problem was the spray arm or because the notch was in the gasket. We ordered again getting this one, because the picture shown matched ours having no notch in the middle. When it arrived, it was the same part with the notch again. I read other's reviews again and tried the tips to replace the spray arm AND not to use the dishwasher for several hours after putting in the gasket so it could form a seal. My husband was skeptical about the notch and thought it would let water through again, but we tried it and installed the parts in the evening and let the dishwasher sit with the door kept closed overnight. We ran it the next day and no leaks! I think it's been a month now and all is working well still. So, if your spray arm is also needing replacement do that, and try letting the door sit closed overnight for the gasket to work properly.


Excellent replacement, It took about 45 minutes to replace which wasn't bad at all, part of the time was spent reviewing a couple of different DIY videos on YouTube finding one that was pretty close to the model refrigerator that we have. The hardest part as some other reviewers might have mentioned was reinstalling the water line. I found my self juggling three different unit parts at once as well as trying to reinstall the water line. (Enter the duct tape), and another pair of hands! On my particular model there wasn't wires that you could pull off from thee master control panel. What I found was a tape wire w/ four wire leads that was attached from the master control panel to the front face plate with no way to detach so you wouldn't have to have your front face plate dangling in front of the refridge and risk breaking the tape wire. That's where the duct tape came in handy. I was then able to reattach the master control panel to the refridge and had enough of an opening to slide the water hose into place and button everything up. I know it sounds a lot more complicated than it really is! But the great part about it is I saved myself  $165.00 for a service call for a $40.00 part I installed myself. There are some great videos to walk you thru the process. Take Your Time and review a couple of different videos if you have to. Its well worth it in the end. Cheers!


It looks really great in my kitchen. I got this to replace my over the range microwave to get an updated look. Ive received many compliments already. As others have said though, thie chimney part is very difficult to install if you have an existing exhaust pipe/duct stickkng out from yoir ceiling. The problem I had was my metal duct from thr ceiling is a few inches too far from the wall. This meant that I cant install the bracket for the top half of the chimeny to the wall, which is suppsed to hold it up in place. The. bottom half chimney is screwed on to the main hood from the back. So you have to attach the chimney before attaching the hood to the wall. I just ended up using strong adhesive to attach the top and bottom chimney together so it becomes one piece. I still haven't figure out how to secure the bottom half to the hood. Its kind of just sitting on top. I know this all sounds confusing, because you cant see what Im talking about. Just know it may be a difficult install if you have an existing duct. But if you can figure it out, its a really beautiful afdition to yoir kitchen for a good price.


This washer has a tray in the bottom where it holds dirty water. If you are not using it twice a day, the water rots and your clothes come out smelling very disgusting. The manufacturer asks you to open a tube at the bottom and drain it like a colostomy bag to clean it. This is a real pain. Once it gets stinky, you have to drain it then run it repeatedly alternating bleach and vinegar. There is also a plastic covered slime ring around the door that can not be accessed or cleaned.  My wife hates this machine so much, I am having it hauled away to the dump this week. In addition, the washer door can't be made to open from the right so either you have the machine to the left of the dryer or you break your back moving the clothes from the washer to the dryer.

The dryer lost it's rear bearing the day after the warranty expired. When the lint screen is perfectly installed, the machine still pumps more lint out through the exhaust than it catches. I have to clean my vent pipe regularly to prevent a fire hazard.

These machines are so poorly designed, Samsung should be charged with fraud for selling them.


This refrigerator looks interesting, but be careful.
We bought a GE side-by-side refrigerator about five years ago. Since then we have had repeated problems with it, and had to call the GE repairman nine different times. The doors had to be replaced once. The ice maker was replaced four times, one time when it started breaking up and mixing shards of plastic with the ice. We could have been killed.
This last time the ice maker flooded the kitchen within two hours. We called GE for repairs and the repairman came several days later. He installed a new ice maker and said everthing was fine. He turned on the water and said "All set to go." When we checked a few hours later, there was no ice, the kitchen was flooding, and sheets of water were coming down from the ceiling in our rec room. The GE repairman never turned the valve of the water line on completely, so it leaked far far worse than it ever had before. Knowing to turn water valves completely should be Repair 101. I called GE back at 3:15; the operator said she would e-mail an immediate request to the repair people in our area. A taped message contacted us some five days later. By that time we had bought a new, very different brand.
I can understand a product having problems. But when the factory authorized repairmen make the problems far, far worse, that manufacturer should be put out of business.


This is the splashguard, baffle that fits Sinkmaster, Whirlaway, Waste King, and probably everything that uses the EZ-Mount system by Anaheim Mfg. Do not confuse this with the "Universal-fits most disposals" one that hardware stores sell. Those are 3 1/8 to 3 1/4" in diameter, and they're too big. Won't fit. Looks the same but a little bigger, and it won't fit. This one will. It is exactly 3" in diameter. If your old one is pretty worn out, you will be amazed at how much quieter it will be when you replace this simple, no-tools-necessary part. I only knocked off a star for the price. This would still be a very profitable item at half the price.
My disposal is a 1/3 hp BoneCrusher that I paid $23 for probably 12 years old.. We run it a couple times daily, but with really light loading.
The trick to disposal longevity and drawing a blank stare when someone asks if you know a good drain cleaner is to use this sequence for food disposal:  Turn on cold water in the disposal-side basin. Turn on disposal. Slowly add food to disposal, making sure plenty of water is going into disposal. About 10 seconds after you're done disposing, turn off disposal. Let water run another 10 seconds.


Since 2005 I have had to replace the membrane 4 times, each costing more than $300 to fix it. Mostly, source of the problem is the touch pad failure (Switch Membrane) to turn on the oven, once it failed to turn off the oven (scary), in this case I had to do emergency break the central circuit breaker. In some cases the control panel put out erroneous error messages. In short the product has poor reliability. Whirlpool probably knows this problem but does not bother to do simple engineering fix with more reliable electronic components or possibly improved heat shield/sinking with modest costs. I believe they have the resources to do it. Some off-shore brands seem to have more durable touch control pad. Go figure. My guess is the Company is relying on part replacement as their after sale market. Customers switching to other product barrier is very high because the range and oven is so expensive to replace. This business model stinks. I must say though the Kitchen Aid range using manual controller is very reliable. The culprit is the membrane.


I just got my freezer.  After doing much research I decided on the Avanti 2.1 cf Chest Freezer.  I almost bought the 1.3 freezer from another company but after reading complaints that stated the freezer unit was in the storage area which left little actual freezer unit.  It also would not seem to be worth the money to buy such a small freezer that can hold little.

This unit is  great and perfect for a small 660 sq. ft. apt.  It is The unit was well packed and had no dents upon arrival.  I plugged it in and it seems to be working.  Lights are on, the walls are cool.  The top door is better than the front door units as the design is more energy efficient.  I was able to clear out my fridge freezer that stored my frozen staples (chicken, beef, pork, veggies for the new freezer.  Now I can actually buy frozen foods that I can have more readily available when I don't feel like cooking or cook meals.

I will write an update in a few months.

Do your research before buying.  I found this unit cheaper priced on another website.  You can find it for the same price as here with shipping and no tax in nyc.


The first instructions I got for installing the WashIt told me I could install it myself. The instructions I finally got with the package recommended a professional install it. He was crabby about the product's "Mickey Mouse" construction, which I ignored because I was so excited about the prospect of simplifying my laundering processes and saving water (we're in California). However, big questions arose immediately about use that the enclosed booklet left completely unanswered: 1) there is no on/off switch, a very strange design flaw; 2) when the device remains on, it emits a high-pitched noise, painful to some but to me, sounds like the device is sizzling; 3) we have to unplug the device every time we use it. If the switch on the bottom side is meant to be an off/on button, it doesn't work; 4) there is no product-supplied cap for the hot water inside the unit; 5) I registered the product twice online since receiving it July 29 and had an automatic response to let me know there'd be an acknowledgment in 1-2 business days. Still waiting. The first few loads of laundry came clean, almost dry and absolutely wrinkle-free. That has already diminished, with this morning's load very wet and questionable, as far as clean goes. Not getting vital questions about use answered and already seeing failure of function. Maybe it is too good to be true.


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

It will.  Sorry to burst your bubble.

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

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


I purchased this product two weeks before Halloween of 2011. My handy-man father installed it and it works great! The product arrived in the box in perfect condition. I ordered it new, and I inspected it to make sure it did in-fact look new. It also matches my stainless steel appliances perfectly. I threw a Halloween bash and no one could even tell my appliances came from one place as a set, while the range hood came from Amazon at an amazing price! I highly recommend this purchase if you are trying to decide.

<input type="hidden" name="" value="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/91sMKYCvSVS.mp4" class="video-url"><input type="hidden" name="" value="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/919wKK5-fES.png" class="video-slate-img-url"> This product was an exact replacement for the spindle bearings and driveshaft on my whirlpool Cabrio platinum model. By referencing videos on YouTube, I was able to complete the process in a reasonable amount of time. I would suggest that anyone who tries to perform this repair also purchase the bearing installation tool. The tool made pressing the bearings into place a much easier task. I also want to note that when removing the top of the washing machine, that you need to remove the top screw on the green bracket on the back of my particular washing machine model. Simply using a putty knife was not sufficient to remove the top.


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

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


I am so happy I bought this.  My oven has the ability to use it but I've never used it - not sure if I ever got one when I purchased my oven 2 years go.  The GE replace is over $100 and I couldn't imagine it would be worth especially since the reviews said it needed to be replaced every few months to couple of years - not because of any design flaws but because of the nature of the product.  I found this and since Amazon could not confirm it would fit my oven properly, I did a test run the weekend before Thanksgiving.  It was 100% accurate and worked like a charm.  I used it in my convection oven on Thanksgiving and my turkey was juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside and I never opened the oven once which is a huge deal for me.  I always have 25 - 30 people for each holiday dinner so I'm extremely busy and to be able to not worry about the main course is amazing!  I can replace the 5 times for the cost of the name brand and because it is so in expensive, I can order a back up so when it does eventually fail, I will still have one on hand.


Received the pkg quickly but had couple of problems: 1. A small dent on the outer frame which you cannot see until after you peel off the white colored plastic. We saw that after completing the Installation. 2. The alumunium filter that goes inside the filter cover was missing. Have reported to customer service who said they'll reach out to the manufacturer.
The installation itself is little tricky.
- The inner & outer duct cover comes pre-welded (i.e., you've to slide them over the lower support frame mounted on range hood body. Due to this, you don't have room to fix the duct properly & firmly. We could not peel the plastic out of the inner duct cover completely as outer duct cover was covering that ( we did not remove the peel until after completing the installation to avoid mess up of drywall dust/paint)
- sliding the lower support frame inside the upper support frame is very tricky (the screws that are used to mount the lower support frame with the range hood body was onstructing the upper support frame to slide over the lower support frame).

Also, I remember reading in the product description that you can control the on/off, fan speed and light from both sides. As you can see in the picture, it's only available on the front side.
I wish the manufacturer has thought through these points and also documented the instruction manual better.


I purchased this item on November 28, 2016 and installed it about a week later. It was used in my 1-year-old's room, so it ran frequently until today, February 13, 2017. Somewhere in between those dates, it began growing mold! See attached picture for proof. It claims to be treated with anti microbial properties. I also used the anti microbial additive liquid to treat the water. This is so nasty, and thinking about my son breathing this air really bothers me. If this can happen in less than two months, what is the point of having a humidifier in the first place? The answer? Maybe it's the wick. I used the wick that came with the humidifier the previous winter and it made it through the season without mold. I threw it away and used a new replacement wick to start the machine's second season. What was different between the 1st and 2nd season? Just the wick.

Very disappointing. Very unhealthy.


I had great hopes for this dishwasher that I bought to replace an 18 yr old KitchenAid. I was told by the dealer that American dishwashers all have the food disposal. With an advertised Piranha food disposal I thought this would be just what I needed. With my old dishwasher, I could put the dishes in without having to pre-wash everything. Unless I clean the dishes and the mesh filter every time I do a load, my dishes and glasses come out with small food deposits all over (the glasses, always on the hard to re-wash inside). The mesh filter is hard to get clean, and I'm sure it won't last a year, with me having to scrub it every day. Food particles do not come off easily.
I thought the bottle jets were great, until they too left food deposited inside the bottles.
On the plus side, it has a very roomy interior. If you have tall glasses, you need to remove the 3rd rack.
The stainless exterior is hard to keep smudge free, especially by the handle.


I installed mine in our upstairs bathroom actually because I tend to get extremely thirsty at night. I figured it would be very convenient to have it as close to my bedroom as possible.
Did I find it easy to install? Well, for the most part, yes. What was difficult was unscrewing the faucet tip from my sink. Attaching the actual product was simple.
By the way, in order to get the product working as smoothly as have the purest water ever, you should most definitely let the water run for a while the first time you use it.
This isn't like your typical water filter, well not any that I've ever tried before.
It is a separate tank that sits beside your sink rather than on the faucet.
I like it although it is a bit larger than I would like it to be.
The water does taste clean and crisp. I like how easy it is to use. It's a nice product overall.

Arrived on time. At first, I hated it. The spinner easily becomes unbalanced, but once you learn how to get it right, it works great. Do not expect to not do a little more work than a traditional washer. However, as a college student and mom in an apartment, this is great. I do a quick load of clothes and hang them on a drying rack. The whole process of washing takes around 20 minutes between washing and spinning. When I couldn't get the spinner right, the seller quickly returned my email with suggestions. I've had this a few days and so far, I do not regret buying it. I use a 5 gallon bucket to fill it faster than the included hose. I also use liquid soap and seriously when I say you need very little, I mean it. I use about two tablespoons of Purex or Tide and sometimes I reuse the water if it isn't too dirty. Anyway, I don't hate the machine now. You won't regret purchasing it.
Update 10/18/16
This doesn't work at all. I used it two months and it is now broken and I cannot return it.


I purchased a showcase home and was impressed with the Bosch kitchen appliance package that was included with my new home.  Within two weeks of using the stove, our teapot melted on the stove when accidentally left unattended.  OK, this was our bad and no fault of Bosch, but we were surprised how powerful this stove is that it could melt a teapot!  Several months later we noticed the two large front burners started to get discolored and cannot be scoured, cleaned or scrapped with a razor blade to return it to it's original finish.  We have lived with a white char marks on the stove ever since. Earlier this week while sliding a plate off the top of a frying pan on the stove (we did not have a lid large enough) , it was accidentally dropped on the glass surface which chipped the edge of the glass on the stove, but the plate did not break.  Since this incidence, the chip has turn into a crack that has run the entire length of the stove.

We have a 2nd residence which we purchased a Samsung glass top slide in stove for.  We have not had any issues with the glass discoloring, chipping, cracking or overheating of the elements.  I don't normally write reviews for products, but the $600.00 price tag to replace this stove top was my motivation.  Far better choices out there than this stove, do your research and stay away from Bosch.


Perfect fit. Took about 20 minutes total to replace, including taking the dishwasher out and such. The adapter was not needed. Dishwasher works good as new!

How to replace

1.) Make sure the dishwasher is drained
2.) Turn of power to dishwasher
3.) Turn of water to dishwasher
4.) Remove anchors from counter attaching the dishwasher
5.) Pull out dishwasher and lean it on something, or lay it on it's face (water may come out, put a towel down)
6.) There is a metal bracket holding the current motor in, unscrew the two screws holding the metal bracket in
7.) Slide the metal bracket away from the dishwaser.
8.) Take notice which way the motor is oriented.
9.) Remove power cable from motor (need to push the latch to remove)
10.) Give a good pull and wiggle to the motor and it should pop out.
11.) Put the sealing rings on the new motor (two)
12.) Put the new motor in the oriented the same way as the old motor. Just give a good push and wiggle.
13.) Do the instructions in reverse to put it back together.


I recently used this kit to replace the top rack adjuster assemblies on a Kitchenaid KUDS30IXBL0 dishwasher. The original design had inferior plastic axel assemblies that broke and caused the wheels on the top rack to  drop out of position and jam.  The Whirlpool/Kitchenaid company offers the W10712394 kit which provides all the parts to replace the top rack adjusters (both left and right sides are included in the kit along with retainer clips, etc).  The instructions included with the kit I received were poorly written and not well illustrated (small dark pictures and confusing text), but do a Youtube search for W10712394 and you will find a video that is more than adequate for a person with average mechanical skills.  Also, you will need a T15 torx screwdriver (not mentioned in the instructions with the kit that I received), to secure the screws on the replacement assembly (you can purchase a T15 torx tool on amazon).  I recommend this kit rather than attempting to replace individual component parts. Using this kit you simply discard all the parts from the original adjuster assemblies and install the new assemblies. Took about an hour to do the repair after I found the Youtube video online.


We have had this dishwasher for about 6 months now and have had 8 service calls.  It's a piece of garbage.  First motor burned out (sounded like jet taking off) and now it always leaks in the lower right corner to the point where it has ruined the hardwood underneath.  Each time the service tech comes back he looks at the model, shakes his head, and says "I'll order you a seal kit, but I'll be back again because even that won't work".  Apparently these leak due to the seal at bottom of door not sealing properly, and there is no long term fix.  DO NOT BUY THIS DISHWASHER!  We no longer can run the dishwasher unless someone is home and watching the floor to ensure water is not pouring out.  Frigidare - if you read this you should give me a new dishwasher (not this model) and replace my floor.  Getting ready to call service again...Good thing I bought extended warranty.  I will call for service every time until Frigidare replace this piece of junk.


I bought this fridge for my team (using budget from my line of business) with the expectation that it would be a nice-looking fridge. However, it is dented in 3 places - the left of the door, the right of the door and the bottom (back) of the fridge. It should be ok if I hide it under a desk. However, I wanted this to be a pretty item that needn't be hidden, which it would have been but for the dents. The dented door is really what is stressing me out. It doesn't look good. The pictures don't convey it as well as I would like, because of the reflectivity.

Everything else appears to be fine. I cannot turn it on for a couple days because it was delivered upside down and I was told I cannot plug it in for at least 24 hours. I'll update if there are subsequent issues.

I'll caveat that I would mark this as a 2-star review if it was only for my personal use. It was easy to setup and mostly looks fine. It's more of an issue because my boss, boss's boss and boss's boss's boss are going to walk past it everyday and I don't want them thinking I bought a cheap fridge with their money.


Received it today and it's still in vinegar clean out mode.  It's working like an ice making machine should and pumping vinegar ice out as I type this!  So for, during my vinegar clean out stage, it's been working great.  Tomorrow I am expecting to have 35lbs of clean ice in my freezer.  We will see and I will update this review if it's anything but 5 stars.

HOWEVER, I can say that this machine is LOUD.  It's not loud like a dishwasher...it's much louder.  It reminds me of the fan vent above the stove when it's on high.  It's THAT loud.

I bought this to substitute a broken ice maker in my kitchen fridge. I was trying to avoid the $1500 to $2200 price tag of a new fridge to replace my otherwise perfectly working one.  But after 7 hours of hearing this ice maker run in my kitchen I'm thinking $2200 isn't sounding that bad for a new fridge.

I will not be returning this as I think it's perfect for parties and camping trips.  This little gem is not leaving my possession!


Read all the reviews and saw that some people were able to switch their Original GE certified O rings with this one and it would not leak.  Not the case for the one I received.  The O rings that came with this one in the mail were OBVIOUSLY too large, but I gave it a go to see if it would seal.  Then I switched out the rings for the others, still the same problem.  Looks like the only way to get a filter that works is to go through the GE original for $50 each.  Don't bother wasting your time, now I'm going to have to print off a return label and drop it off at a drop box.  Thankfully Amazon makes it easy.GE RPWF Smartwater Compatible Water Filter Made in USA


My washing machine (front loaded Samsung, with stacked dryer on top) vibrates when the load isn't balanced and the spin cycle begins.  It's bad enough my wife thinks the house will fall apart, even though it doesn't bother me that much.  I was willing to try anything to appease my wife, even spending $40 on some "silent feet".  That seems like a really high price to pay for a few small pieces of fancy foam, but if it worked, I'd be happy.

Needless to say, these aren't miracle feet.  We still feel the washing machine vibrate the windows downstairs, or shake the beds.  My approach now is to try to do as much laundry as possible when my wife and kids are not home, because silent feet didn't save the day.

I'm not saying they don't work for others, but in my situation my wife still thinks the house will shake apart, and wants to try adjusting levels (done that), and everything else to stop our washing machine from shaking when it begins the spin cycle.  Don't have miracle expectations from these, or you will likely be disappointed.


Anyone who thinks they don't have a problem with lint should look at these pictures.  My house is only 10 years old and this is what came out of our vent.  That doesn't even include what was cleaned out from our dryer filter and what was in just the dryer unit.  This product is very easy to use.  I definitely suggest taping each junction to make sure they don't separate in the vent.  I broke my cleaning into 4 cleanings. Fist cleaning was with just the brush and the first extension.  After ensuring that section is clean I added the second and so forth until the brush came out clean.  Given the length of the brush with all four sections, I found it easier to have another set of hands guide the brush into the vent while the other set was operating the drill.
I noticed that when I turned the dryer back on there was some lint that was dislodged and blew out the outside vent opening.  Unfortunately in my case some lodged between the slats and is keeping the vent opening from fully closing.  I will be making a trip up my ladder once the ground dries a little so I can remove those pieces.  A little price to pay for a clean vent.


If you love to chew ice, then you will love this ice maker.  The ice is best right out of the holding basket, but I will say that a big draw-back is that the ice is wet when you take it out of the holding area which isn't a big deal if you are going to use it immediately, but it is if you are making a bunch of ice for future use, not so great.  You can't put wet ice in the freezer or it will freeze together in a big lump.  The big lump of ice will have to be broken apart with an ice pick which give you sharp edges on the ice and as an ice chewer....not desirable.  So what I have been doing is taking a smaller batch of ice and putting it in a freezer bag and then placing the bag in the freezer with the ice spread out in a single layer.  Later on when it's all frozen, I break up the ice in the bag, trying to keep the ice as "whole" as possible and transfer the ice to the ice holder in the freezer.  Yes, I know it's a bit involved, but it works.  I wouldn't want this ice maker to be my sole source of ice, but I do like the small size "cubes" it puts out for small batches of ice chewing pleasure!


I bought this caps because many of my prongs were split and starting to rust.  I was excited when they arrived and started to put them on the rusty or split prongs.  As I started to slide on the first one, I realized that it didn't fit.  I pressed harder, then as hard as I could.  Still it would not go on.  I got one or two on after some serious effort.  Now, over a month later, they sit in the cupboard tool bucket, taking up space.  I should have returned them and looked for a larger size, but didn't feel it was worth it.  I am planning to have another round at it, by using a hammer to force it on, maybe I'll update the review if that is successful.  It may work for you as a preventative measure, but if yours are already split, bloated, or rusty, then this product will not help you.  Unless dishwasher prong sizes vary widely by manufacturer, and you feel yours are exceptionally small, I would look elsewhere.


I bought this washer at a good price from HomeDepot in January 2010.  The washer worked fine.  However it is now October 2013 and the plastic door has fallen off the hinge!  Looking at replacement parts it will cost me $300 if I do the work myself.  The door is backordered so my guess is that many people have this problem.
COVER - DOOR
Manufacturer: Whirlpool
Part# 34001424
I wouldn't buy any front loader washing machine that uses this door and I think many do.  It seems like the plastic just rotted.  I didn't realize this was a cheap product and I am very unsatisfied.  I don't think this product deserves any stars.  If the door didn't crack/brake off I would have rated the washing as a 3 or 4.  Now if I buy a new washer I will look up replacement parts for the model to get a sense of its durability.


I've had this refrigerator for a couple of years now. It's the nicest refrigerator I have ever had. There is a lot of room in the freezer. Much more than your normal top freezer. I love the deli drawer. It has worked absolutely perfectly. The freezer does not build up frost. At least, mine doesn't. It is easy to program for the temperature you want to keep everything. I like that it tells me when the filter needs to be changed and also rings a bell if the fridge is accidentally left open.

My only problem with it so far is that the screws fell out of the handle on the freezer. When it came loose we tightened up the one side, but never found the screw for the other side and I'm doubting there was ever a screw in that side at all. And now we have to try to find a screw to fit it to hold the handle on. The other problem I have had with it is that the holders on the inside of the doors, where you put condiments and other small bottles and jars occasionally fall off and it's not at all easy to put them back on.

Other than those two things, I really like the refrigerator and it has worked well for us. It looks good too.
