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

Came quick. Works Great. Easy to install. Instructions helped greatly, but it is always good to have a person to help you if possible. I now live in Brazil and had my dryer shipped from the States. I could not find this kit locally, and resorted to Amazon. I wish it could have been sent directly here, but I had to send it to someone States-side, who then sent it through the mail. The only issue I had was that it came with two identical (as far as I could tell) orifices marked with the numbers 54 and 55. The instructions said to use one or the other depending on whether I had propane or butane. I had no idea. The gas canisters here in Brazil are not labeled. I eventually opted to use the one whose threads fit just slightly better, (although both fit). The install is very simple and very quick. You will need at least one other person with you to hold up the drum as you take the dryer apart and reassemble it. One last note, as the instructions clearly tell you, be very careful. You are working with pressurized gas.

I got this dishwasher alert gadget because my wife and I have very different schedules and it is hard to keep track of the dishwasher status. I try to help out with dishes as much as I can so it is really helpful when I walk through the kitchen I can just glance at this baby on the dishwasher door to see what needs to be done. If it says dirty I can either load up some more dishes or just run what's in there. If it says clean I can go ahead and unload the stuff. The easiest way that we've found to use this is when you start a new load of dishes just flip the indicator to clean. That way you can just go about your business and forget about the dishwasher. The next time you or your spouse is in the kitchen, the cycle will probably be done, and you can easily see that they are clean with just a quick glance. This indicator simply attaches to the dishwasher door via the included adhesive backing so it is ready to go in seconds. We love it!

Better than described! Jeans and heavy fabrics take about 2-3 minutes to spin out the excess water. Sheets and even normal clothing are ready for the dryer in 1-2 minutes. If hanging on a line, even 1 minute is enough for sheets. It can be a bit of a struggle sometimes to get the linen centered just right (especially for sheets and jeans), but it usually is not a problem. It spins super fast and takes very little electricity. It is built well and is a great addition to a mini washer. It only fits about a 1/4 of a normal load of clothes, but considering how fast it spins out the water, it is the fastest part of the washing process and no problem at all. Beware...It is not a good drying option. I have tried many times to spin dry many loads of light, medium and heavy linen for up to an hour. The sheets can get almost completely dry and with a touch-up in a dryer or on a line would be dry in no time. All other linen will not get much more dry than after the first 2-3 minutes; ready for the line or dryer, but not to be folded and put away. Best of all: it is compact and not made in China.

My husband and I were frustrated with our electric cooktop for several reasons and did not want to purchase another electric one. We began to consider an induction cooktop as gas was not a possibility. We read all the reviews, consulted Consumer Reports, and decided to try it. My husband must have been more excited than he let on, as he had it installed within an hour! We have had it about six weeks, and so far, we LOVE it. The variability of cooking levels is much better than our (good quality) electric cooktop and the instant heat is remarkable. We live in Arizona, so the idea of less heat in the house during the long summer season is very appealing as well. I (almost) look forward to cooking, as it functions so well. If there are any negatives to consider, it would be that it is a little hard to see where the actual "burners" are and that we are still trying to figure out how to keep the surface as shiny and pretty as we would like.

We bought a Broan E6448TSS with dual centrifugal fans, and sincerely regret it. It sounds just like a helicopter taking off... next to a 150000-volt electrical transmission tower. The ELECTRICAL HUM NOISE is HUGE, and vibrates our entire house, NO MATTER WHAT SPEED is set. We thought it was the controller; but by isolating the fans, determined it is the fan motors. When we called Broan Technical Support, and said our brand-new E6448 was extremely noisy, the lady immediately responded: "It's a VERY noisy unit!" {So they KNOW it's a big problem!!!) Bottom line: It looks nice, and has: Variable-speed fans, Automatic heat sensor, Three lamp receptacles (with difficult to insert lamps)... BUT We are not going to use our brand-new kitchen until we FIND A REPLACEMENT FOR THIS BRAND-NEW HUNK OF JUNK my wife unfortunately bought (before the first review). UPDATE (7/'14): We solved our problem by adapting our hood to control an external blower mounted near the roof -- see 4-star review at Broan Broan 336 Exterior Blower, 1500-CFM, 3.8-Amps, 120-Volt (Tools & Home Improvement).

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

Overall a very mediocre experience with this product. Shipping took five days, which is not too bad, but since I payed three times as much for shipping as for the product itself, this seemed a bit slow. The thermal cutoff was fine, but the hi-limit thermostat was not as pictured and had little in common with the genuine part it was intended to replace. The screws supplied did not fit their intended holes, making physical installation a hassle. As for the electrical connections, the directions for installation were completely unhelpful and incomprehensible-- even now that I know the correct procedure, I still can't figure out what they are supposed to mean. Since the new thermostat didn't match the part it was replacing, it was necessary to cut two wires and crimp new terminals on, which was more than I, with my limited experience, had bargained for. You will need some expert knowledge or at least a good youtube video to make this part work; you'll also need a set of electrician's wire cutters/crimpers. Ultimately the product seems to work, but I hadn't expected such a hassle. Those with experience, tools, and time on their hands will no doubt find this a bargain. All others would be well advised to look for a higher-quality product.

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

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

I installed this about a month ago and am extremely happy with it. Our water is very hard (12-14 grains/gal). We did not want to install a whole house water softener because of how they waste water and dump salt water into the sewer during regeneration. With the newly reformulated phosphate free detergents, our hard water caused issues with chalky white film being left all over the dishes, glasses, silverware and dishwasher interior. We were wasting time and water having to rewash, etc. to deal with the results from the lousy reformulated detergents. Installation was easy. After I installed the Dishwasher Filter, with one cycle, everything was completely spotless even when using the phosphate free detergent. I also verified the filter was softening the water using water hardness test strips. Prior to entering the filter, hardness was 14 grains. After the filter, hardness was 0-1 grains. The only thing I am concerned about is how long the filter cartridge will last before it needs to be replaced. I am guessing three to four months but will watch and see.

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

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

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

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

This is exactly what I needed. This is the one part that did not come in the Agitator Cam Kit that I bought from Amazon at the same time. It came in an OEM Whirlpool package. It has been working very nicely ever since I installed it. And the install is very simply with a flat-head screwdriver and socket/ratchet. Probably only took me 15 minutes total. The last time I repaired this problem I only replaced the dogs, and the repair did not last very long (maybe 6-9 months). Obviously wear in some of the other kit parts increases wear on the dogs as well. I would recommend using the full kit for your model, such as "Whirlpool 285748 Agitator Cam Kit". Just make sure you do your research to determine which kit is right for your model. Another similar kit for a different model of washer than mine is "Whirlpool 285811 Agitator Repair Kit for Washer".

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

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

I had been buying the smaller, pre-packaged drop in tablet sold by the same brand. I found that these worked well, but needed to be changed often in order to be effective. I bought this on a whim, though I was a little frightened by the extreme safety warnings on the bottle. When the bottle arrived, I followed the instructions to a T- and only used a cap full of the product per gallon as directed on the bottle. I made sure not to spill any of it on my hands or skin. Since my humidifier has a huge reservoir, I only have to change it once per week. After a week of using this product, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the filters were still clean and there was no buildup of mold or slime. The only downside of this product is that after pouring in the solution, there is a noticeable chemical smell to the mist coming out of the humidifier. After a few hours, I find that the smell dissipates. I find that if I run the humidifier a couple of hours before I'm going to bed, the chemical smell is gone and doesn't bother me. Otherwise, I think this product is good and much more cost effective than the drop in tablets I had previously used.

I have a Kenmore 90 series. I looked up the replacement part number from Sears. I brought this one with the same part number, at a fraction of the cost, plus probably save me a hundred for labor. It fits and looked the same. If this switch fails in the future, I may just short the two outer wires to remove the safety feature. Nobody ever really interested in going into the laundry room, and put their hands in the washer. I suggest a new approach to trouble shooting by those who can't nor don't want to afford professionals. Look at what is the most popular replacement part of your model. This is it. So I test if the old switch failed and it was. When my last washing machine failed there was no Youtube. I was surprised how easy it is to open up the machine. It is a little more complicated and messy if you have detergent, fabric softener and bleach dispensers on the outer casing with tubes attached.

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

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

Since 2016, Ive ordered these specific Samsung filters directly from the reorder in my cart amazonunfortunately something has changed and the filters no longer fit. I even checked if a cap was stuck (other users have reported this)thats not the issue. Please note the differences in the models. The model in the right of the pictures (pink x on it) is the working model. They are clearly made differently and its visible. If you look closely the working model is imprinted 85-926...and the non working model doesnt have this. The non working model as AL29 on water filter sticker. Are these counterfeit or has Samsung messed up on their manufacturing? Update: I wrote amazon regarding my concern of fake reviews left my negative review and my concern for those still unknowingly drinking from these counterfeit filters. I hope this will help someoneI went to Lowes and purchased an authentic Samsung filter it fits perfectly. Please don't try to save a couple of bucksits simply not worth your health.

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

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

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

I bought these caps to cover small rust spots forming on the tips of our dishwasher rack. We rent the home and knew the landlord would not want to replace the appliance. But the rust was leaving spots on our expensive dishes. I bought the pack of 25 caps only and glued them with a plumbers Goop product I already owned. It worked fine, but I was short 2 caps in the packet. The company immediately sent me the replacements, plus a couple extra. Not many companies would do this. Tips: If you notice stains on your dishes, check the rack. If you see rust, buy these caps or the cap and glue kit. I recommend removing the dishwasher racks (easy) and inspect the entire rack. If you notice wear on the joints/welds or main bars, buy the kit with the Ubergoop paint/glue. Follow the directions to scuff and clean before gluing. If your situation is like ours, you can save an otherwise good working dishwasher!

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

I can't compare the performance of this part vs. the original, since our used 'fridge came with our house, but it along with this part... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002ZNBY82/ref=cm_cr_ryp_sol_prd_image ... ...our bottom shelves don't hang down onto the crisper drawers anymore. Since I consider this a vast improvement, I give the full 5/5 stars in this review, but, truth be told, I'm a little disappointed that both these parts bend slightly under the weight of a fully loaded shelf--not a lot, but enough to make me wonder if I'm going to need replacements. (It could just be that we load our bottom shelf with all the heaviest items.) Luckily, for a few bucks I can get replacements parts in 2-3 days if/when these break. The items have been installed for 3-4 months seem to be holding up well despite the bending.

I bought this to replace an 11+ year old LG 2.3 cu. ft. compact all-in-one washer/dryer that finally shook itself to pieces. So far, this new model is much nicer! The "True Balance" feature of the new washer really does generate less vibration during the spin, and I have the unit installed on the 2nd floor of an old house with hardwood floors, so vibration matters. The old model shook the whole house at times, but I've been very happy with the reduced shaking of this one. It still does shake a bit, but much, much less than before. We also had problems with the old model not drying well, which tends to be a problem with ventless condensing dryers. Even that is improved somehow with the new model. So far, everything has come out perfectly dry - without the need for additional drying cycle. Part of this could be because the new model is much bigger than our old one, and I think we had a tendency to overload the old one, which can decrease dryer performance. Bottom line: I'm very happy with the new one so far, and glad I decided to stick with the LG all-in-one, despite some of the issues we had with the old model.

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

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

Although I found the Brasscraft Braided Line to be of high quality: I simply could not get the "garden hose" end of this Brasscraft supply line to adequately seal with my Bosch SHE863WF5N dishwasher for the reason outlined below . . . 1. The Brasscraft brass inner shaft (integral with the 90 elbow fitting) runs entirely through the thickness of the rubber seal. 2. My Bosch dishwasher has a plastic screen which is positioned inside the Bosch threaded male fitting and firmly held just below the thread initiation surface. 3. When the Brasscraft female thread is tightened onto the Bosch male thread: unwanted "hard" contact is made between the Brasscraft brass tube and the Bosch screen such that the seal cannot be "squeezed" enough to adequately seal. See attached photos. There are several other elbow seal designs which do not have the inner tube material and where the seal is simply held in place at the outside seal diameter within the "garden hose" female thread (as shown in photo). This style of elbow worked very well with my Bosch dishwasher.

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

There are over 100 five-star reviews on this washing machine covering all points: don't fill water to the top, use minute quantity of detergent, respect the load recommended; replace the brittle hose with another one. Ours is next to the bathtub where filling water and draining is a breeze. But even if you fill water leaving a space, agitation makes water splash out of the draining hose (that hooks on the machine during washing). I slimmed down a wine cork to the opening of that hose and voila, no more splashes. Initially bought to replace hand washing. For those who wash in hot water, it can take up to 60C but not higher - otherwise it deforms the plastic cavity. We have taken this on vacations and it is awesome. Just soak in it the night before, and turn the machine the next day - after changing the water. Fifteen-minutes (timer) is ample time to wash a soaked item and the clothes come out clean. We run a cycle with vinegar to prevent water hardening. We have it since almost two years and happy of its performance.

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

While not a permanent solution, it has improved the situation immensely. I tried the blow dryer method. Took 10-15 mins and was fully effective. The blockage came back within a few hours of non-use. I tried the string trimmer line method and while it was a quick way to get rid of the blockage, it only took about an hour of non-use for the ice to return. The flaw with this trick is that the string takes up space in the tube which means there's less water to freeze so it happens more quickly. The IceSurrender tool gets to the problem and because it removes all the ice, the line stays clear much longer with non-use. The first day, the line was clear up to the time we went to bed. It was frozen up in the morning so I used the tool again. The line was clear all day and did not freeze up over night. I know I've got an ongoing problem that needs to be addressed, but this tool has reduced the time it takes to unblock the water line (it takes longer to microwave the water to put into the tool) and has kept the line clear longer than any of the other methods and that's because it's clearing out all the ice with the hot water. The other methods are unreliable when it comes to knowing you've cleared the line. This is the one method you can count on to clear the ice.

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

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

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

We have about 25 feet of vent pipe (Dumb if you ask me). My new dryer was not drying at all. However, after ordering, watching videos, and reading the instructions.... I am super happy to say... HOLY COW the lint we cleaned from the vent line. I am not kidding when I say it was literally a shop vac full. This process did take some time, but only because of how my venting system was designed. We did get into the attic and pull the pipes apart to continue cleaning. And then on the roof where we found a complete blockage. We would not have discovered any of this without this tool. I am happy to say that I love my dryer now! It is amazing how fast things dry, and I am completely amazed at the amount of lint that we removed. I HIGHLY recommend this product. I promise after you see the fire hazard of lint that you see after using this product, you will be cleaning once, maybe twice a year. My BF doubted that this product would get the job done. Let's just say he and my dad were very impressed.

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

I finally saw what the other reviewers meant when they said that the connections were a bit different. This isn't that big of a problem because the baggie they send it in also includes a piece with two terminals (gold piece in the picture), you can just cut off the old one and, strip the wire and crimp the new one in, and now you have an extra terminal you can connect the included jumper wire to, to complete the connection to the heating element. I also had to rotate it to make it fit, and find an extra screw to make it solid (previous thermostat only used one screw and was installed vertically, but I installed this new one horizontally, making use of both screw openings). This is actually a bit more solid than the way it was before. My only complaint is that the terminal they included (gold piece) felt a bit soft and flimsy, like it was going to break while I was connecting everything together, but thankfully it didn't. Aside from all that, the actual components have been working pretty good for a past few days, no problems thus far.

Working perfect, if you receive the one pictured be prepared to cut your original wiring connector off and splice on a couple of single connectors to connect the wiring to new pump motor. I can only say that on my Whirlpool model #WFW8300SW05 this was the case and I was prepared for this after closely looking at the location of the 2 connector points on replacement motor prior to ordering. One other thing to note is it can take some force to separate original pump motor from the housing, keeping in mind that it is hard plastic be careful as to not crack the housing. I decided to be safe and make sure I could get it separated before ordering just the pump motor by itself. I already had the contact connectors and 2 butt connectors so this took me less than 15 min to reinstall. The only reason for 4 stars and not 5 is they should mention the electrical connector may be different and throw in the needed connectors. Also thanks to Amazon I got next day delivery for 3.99

I have have good old name brand washing machines all my life. But this time around I thought I would get something upscale. I purchased this model and a matching dryer. The dryer failed within about a year but that's for another review. All I can say is do not spend your money on a Miele product. This was the worst experience I've had with any product. From customer service on down. Machine stopped working and so I called the Miele showroom I purchased from. They were quick to say they only sell and pass me off to a tech support number. Tech support tells me they will send someone over. Yes I will pay for the service call. Guy shows up and like other reviews it needs bearing for the drum. Ok how much can bearing cost? Well before or after the ship your machine out of state? Yup shipping at your cost. Total damages would be as much as a new machine. That's a giant ripoff for such a high end machine. Never again.

We bought the icemaker a month or so ago. At first, I thought it would be one of those products that you might regret buying but it's been anything but that so far. We've used the heck out of it. We seem to consume a lot of ice at this house. We're always buying ice in town to help keep up with the demands. That gets a little old toting bags of ice in from town all the time. So, we decided on buying the Igloo Icemaker. It takes about an hour or so and you can have a refrigerator freezer full of ice in the basket. The ice comes out in 7 piece intervals usually within 7 minutes of each other. It has a 3-prong plug in. You just lift the lid and add water as it says in the instructions, choose large or small ice and wait for the ice to fill up in the basket. It's pretty simple stuff. The best part is we purchased it for less than half price. It's been a pretty sweet purchase for us so far. The photo shows the SMALL size ice.

This is quite an amazing little device for the price. The original reason I purchased this unit was to use when making fermented sausages and salumi where temperature and humidity are critical to the process. Currently it is being used to log the temperature of a batch of beer that is fermenting in a re-purposed refrigerator. The refrigerator also has a heater inside, the cooling and heating being controlled by another InkBird device, an ITC-308. I have an extra long usb cable attached to the TCH-4 routed to the outside so that I can download the data without removing the device from the refrigerator or opening the door. The software is very easy to use. I checked the accuracy of the sensor against a digital medical thermometer and it was within 0.5F. The software has an adjustable offset for calibration. I was so impressed that I ordered a second unit so that I can log the temperature of the refrigerator space as well when fermenting beer. Having a humidity reading for brewing beer is not necessary but an absolute must when making fermented sausages and salumi.

These didn't cut the mustard with my mambo machine. A Whirlpool Duet, naturally. I had the thing on solid wood floor (single story), and leveled. After it's maiden dancing exhibition, I looked for an answer and was impressed with the reviews for the pads. Got them, sat the beast on them, and leveled it again. Stuffed the soiled laundry into it's gaping hole, and waited for the performance. Hey! Mambo-Italiano! Just another rerun. Although the dance did seem a little less violent than before. Anyhow, I've just rid myself of the dancing queen and bought a Samsung. WORLD of difference! On my old beast, I couldn't put anything on top of it. Even with a towel underneath during any spin sequence, it'd be on the floor. You can hardly hear the spin cycles on the new one. I'm glad most here got the benefit of these pads for their machines. And there probably wasn't a fix in store for mine except to go live in a thrift store somewhere. I can only relate my experience of their interaction with a dysfunctional washer. Sad.

This washer is loud and is giving a "smoke" like smell when it is working. I am not sure whether it is normal or not. Website description is accurate and honest. Every time I need to wash, I need to 1) manually fill in water and make sure that water is below the limit. 2) set timer for washing 3 set it to drain 4) manually fill in water again and make sure that water is below the limit 5) set timer to rinse 6) I may have to do a 2nd rinse or 2nd washing if needed. 7) manually drain 8) manually put half of the load into spin basket 9) set timer for spin 10) manually put remaining half of the load into the spin 11) set timer for spin. As spin basket can take only half of the washing basket, I need to spin twice for everything wash. You can tell how much time this machine cost you for one load of wash. I found automatic washing machine with only $100-$150 higher elsewhere. Basically, you put water and load in, turn it on and it does all washing, draining and spinning by itself. I think it makes better sense to spend extra $100-$150 to save A LOT TIME to do something more meaningful and productive.

I purchased a house not long ago and all the kitchen appliances been used Kenmore brand, this is the first time I need to replace the water filter from the refrigerator. After install H2O taste fine no funny taste at all, great filter system and easy to install DIY 1,2 3. Just a friendly advise for the first timer to replace this water filter, first thing you need to drop the filter lid and the filter so you can pull it out, the instruction only briefly mentioned drop the lid and filter, but be SURE to drop the lid all the way down with no interference. If you had an inner shelf even blocking a little of the lid you won't able to pull the filter out, which is happened to me at first, my inner glass was interfere the lid just a very very little bit when it dropped, I was struggle at first why the filter can't come off for about 10 minutes, I almost force to break the connection, so I try to remove the glass shelf so I can get a closer look why is still locking and at this point the old filter came out easily. The time for the replacement should only take about 3 minutes.

As a design professional, I spent a long time looking for the right hood that wouldnt break the bank. My considerations were; stainless steel for 9 ceilings, 36 wide, (my range is 30 so I wanted 3 overhang on both sides to catch the smoke), 900 cfm, (generally I operate it on the lower settings since 900 cfm setting is overkill for a typical residential use), not too loud, ( this one is around 55 decibels at the max speed), oil catcher, steel baffles instead of a mesh so that it could be popped into the dishwasher for easy cleanup and it had to be reasonably priced! There were many which met all the requirements, minus the price. I was a little puzzled with the negative reviews but after much research, I bought the Z Line KF2-36 36" 900 CFM hood. Having had it for a few months, I am happy with the purchase and would recommend it to anyone with similar requirements.

I purchased this spin dryer with the "Wonder Washer" as a set three years ago. I still use the dryer religiously but have long since gotten rid of the Wonder Washer, which definitely wasn't easier than just hand-washing your clothes in the tub or sink. Living in small apartments in LA and now NYC and preferring gentle handling of my clothes (i.e. no heat drying), I hand wash most of my things. I use this spin dryer almost weekly. It works insanely fast and gets clothes amazingly "dry". I fill this thing to the brim on the regular. I've worked out a great system of setting the dryer on the toilet with the hose aimed into the bathtub to drain the water. The trick with the dryer is filling the basin up with clothing *evenly*. If your load is uneven, the dryer will rock back and forth violently. If that happens, just turn the knob to off, wait for it to stop spinning and reload the clothes evenly. Always lay the rubber piece on top of your clothes inside the basin. It helps keep things even. Once I've run the dryer, I hang clothes up or on a garment drying rack to finish drying. They are ready to wear within hours. So easy, makes apartment life much more pleasant being able to wash and dry when I want, and it's very gentle on clothes that can't be heat dried.

I ordered this unit because it was one of the few brands that will cool down to 34 degrees. The unit arrived very quickly and looked good. After waiting for 24 hours I turned it on and let it run for a couple of days. Unfortunately, the unit would only cool to 38-39 degrees and then would warm to 43-44 degrees. I contacted NewAir customer service and they quickly determined that this was likely a defective unit. They gave me a return authorization for Fedex. I repacked the unit and brought to a FedEx center.( I could have called for a pickup.). once the return was on the way the next day, NewAir shipped the replacement which I received two days later. This one works fine. It cools down to 34 as advertised and holds temp. My adult beverages are good and cold! We all know that sometimes new equipment doesn't operate correctly. What matters is how a company acts when things go wrong. NewAir did the right thing be quickly replacing the unit with a working one and following up to ensure that I was happy with the replacement. This is excellent customer service. I would highly recommend this company and this Beverage Cooler.

If you're reading this then you're probably neck deep in trying to figure out if there's any chance this will actually fit your fridge. While I'm not sure how much help I can be with that, all I can do is share my experience. My fridge is a Kenmore 79142 built around 2000. The ice maker in it puked and I needed a new one. After searching forever I finally convinced myself that this one would fit just fine. It seems like there are only a handful of ice maker manufacturers that send their units to everyone who, in turn, put their own model numbers on them and *poof*...confusion city. In the end this ice maker fit just fine. The ice tray is metal unlike some of the cheaper plastic generic units. The description says this is a genuine Whirlpool part but the box is certainly very generic looking with a generic model number on it. I opened the box, it looked like a quality unit and I installed it. The next day I had ice so that's a win in my book. It's been working great ever since. Depending on your particular setup you might need to borrow brackets and the wiring harness from your old unit. I also had to remove the scored cutout section for the water inlet. Beyond that it was pretty much plug and play.

I read the mixed reviews and decided to take a chance. Seems I should have paid more attention. Worked great for a while. No issues. Then it just stopped working. I turned it on and it would run the weather through, just not make the ice. Nothing to indicate why. I am currently trying to get the support department to respond and see if I can get it fixed or replace under the warranty. Edited with a follow up: I am following up on my earlier review. Yes there was no problem for them to cover it under the warranty. I did have to pay the shipping myself to send it into their service center in California. The unit they returned appeared to be a refurb and not my original using fixed. The refurb most definitely does not work as good as new. There are black marks on the lip just under the lid which is really annoying as the one I sent back was in better condition cosmetically. If this is the same one then they messed it up somehow when fixing. Also there seems to be an issue with the new unit where it will not stop making ice when it should. I have gone to get ice out and seen it overflowing into the section behind where the ice is made. Also the ice is connected in strips where the water is being overfilled when making the cubes. We shall see how long the new one lasts.

We have a KitchenAid dishwasher that also had holes in the bottom of the basket and one section was even completely broken out! I purchased this basket because of a couple of the previous reviews and am also very happy with the purchase! Mine also arrived with KitchenAid on the part and fit perfectly. I had done a little online research prior for the size and my only confusion is that the seller is calling this a Whirlpool basket when it also says KitchenAid on mine that I received. Regardless, looked exactly like my old broken basket when I compared the two and was very happy to receive the replacement! Now, just continuing to reinforce to myself to gently place the silverware in it! However, the odds of our three children ever actually putting their dirty dishes away are slim to none, so basically my wife and I are just reminding ourselves...and probably better that the kids don't drop in their silverware from 6"-1' away! Lol!

This is a great product in as much as it allows you to vent your dryer on the side. Yay. It's an over priced product because what you're buying is two sheet metal tubes (strait) and one sheet metal tube elbow, along with a sheet metal plate and one 1/4 inch screw. In other words MacGuyver just made one after visiting home despot and saved himself some $ that I'm sure he used to take crack using children to the mountains to find the yeti or something. Anyway. I marked this as 4 stars because I really like side venting my dryer. but I also want to mark this 0 stars, because in the course of installing it I lost more blood from sharp sheet metal than most horror films series go through. Not to mention that LG thoughtfully and lovingly left you 2, 4in round holes in which to place and position all this stuff. If your a 12 fingered alien or a shapeshifter, go for it. Otherwise, save your fingers and hire someone you don't like to install it.

Our ice machine in our freezer gave out - so rather than replace that - we bought this machine instead. Once it gets going - it cranks out the ice very nicely. A word of caution however: It comes with plastic 1/8 inch waterline and a cheap plastic connector for the back of the unit that isn't adequate to hold the waterline in place when it's under varying pressure as the water valve is being shut on and off every 30 minutes or so. It held for almost two weeks then the plastic tube simply slipped out of the fitting and was spraying water everywhere until it was discovered. Lucky for me - I installed the unit in the garage - so no harm was done. I re-connected it and it lasted for less than 24 hours before it slipped out again. Resolution: I threw the cheap plastic connector away and bought a brass equivalent and used that on the end of the plastic 1/8 inch water line. It holds much more securely and it's not going anywhere. Now that I've got this little problem solved - I'm very happy with the ice maker.

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.

Generally not a fan of induction, but this is not the range's fault. Takes a long time for water to boil unless it is all the way up on "high". The worst part is the unreliability of the oven. Twice now I have set the oven to preheat to 480. It reaches 480, and I leave it there to preheat a little bit longer. Then I insert my bread, and about 5 minutes later I go to lower the temperature to 460. So then it says it is preheating to 460 and that the current temperature is 360F !! Just a second earlier, before I had tried to lower the temperature, it said "Baking" at 480. It's not until I reset the temperature that it tells me that the oven is really only at 360. This has happened to me twice in the last 3 times I've used it and I can't seem to figure out why, and it ruins the bread. For a baker nothing is worse than an unreliable oven. Time and temperature must be flawless. An oven should not tell me that it has been sitting at 480 for 20 minutes, and then tell me it's actually at 360 once I fiddle with the temperature (i.e. lower it just a bit below the preheat temp).

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.

Exact replacement. Simple repair Our 8-year old Maytag gas dryer failed to produce any heat and I quickly determined that the ignitor had failed. The closest retail dealer who had one in stock represented a 2.5 hour, 62 mile round-trip drive and wanted $41.55 (including local taxes). The Amazon price was $16.47 including tax. The only tools needed to replace this part are a philips screwdriver to remove the front panel and a 1/4-inch hex wrench for the mounting screw. The replacement ignitor package included a spare mounting screw just in case you loose the original. If you do drop the original screw and use the spare, be sure to use a washer under the head to avoid damaging the ignitor body. Installation is simple and, of course, the dryer works like new. For the record, the cold DC resistance of the new Whirlpool/Maytag 4391996 ignitor was 45.5 ohms.

Fits perfectly in the Amana Model TZI21RW MFG No P1168005WW. Save old wiring harness, metal clip for filler hose receptacle, bottom mounting bracket and wiring harness metal clip that holds the black wire, and all original screws. Mounting required replacing the plastic bottom mounting bracket with the metal one from our 1993 unit. The metal clip that holds the black wire in the wiring harness was in the wrong location, so I used the original clip and placed in in the correct location on the new unit. The water receptacle did not have a metal hold down clip for the filler hose, so I used the one from the old unit. Original wiring harness fit perfectly. Took 15 minutes to install and place in operation. I saved the original plastic front cover, and used it instead of the plain white cover that came with this unit. It fit perfectly as well. Ordered on 3/4, received on 3/7 with expedited shipping. Can't get much better than that for 50 bucks.

We bought this refrigerator 3 years ago at lowes and we purchased an extended warranty as well. Well guess what, the stainless steel doors are rusting from the inside out and neither lowes nor kitchenaid will do anything for us even though it is defective and we have and extended policy. By the way, the ice maker(which is why we purchased the extended warranty} is no longer working as well. We have spent alot of money on different things at lowes and i am positive that i will never step inside that store again. In the past, we have purchased many kitchenaid products and have had no problems but I don't know when whirlpool took them over but they are making garbage now and we will never buy another kitchenaid product again. By the way, my daughter purchased a different kitchenaid refrigerator about a year ago and the finish on it is failing also. A word of advice, do not shop at Lowes and buy anything. Even with the extended warranty, they refuse to do anything for you. Also, do not purchase any kitchenaid products because they are no longer reliable and quality built but rather nothing more than boat anchors.

This is a great product; just have the fridge unit in the kitchen and and was considering the combo fridge only and freezer for the hall to the laundry room. I like the look of this and the space inside. Having a separate freezer makes so much sense. A bit disappointed that you can't have an ice/water dispenser with this, but it's a minor concern. The biggest concern, and the reason I cannot give it 5 stars is that two years after purchase it began to leak on the floor from the bottom right corner. It's ruined the floor beneath it, and when we called about service they said the whole back panel inside had to come off and they weren't sure how many hours of labor it would be, or if they would be able to put it back together so it could be used, because if it needed a part we'd pay for labor to dismantle, put it back, dismantle and put it back again. Seriously. So, while I'd love the combo, I'm a bit nervous we'll be in the same boat with a fridge that inexplicably leaks on the floor for weeks, then stops. Nothing obvious when you pull off the panel in the front.

Holy Jamoly! Not only were there 5 pcs, they were indeed black with silver overlay, and they very much appeared to be a replacement set for an electric range. This pack came with everything. It had many convenient conversion doohickeys to fit on the back of the hijamawhatzits which allowed them to fit onto different posts. Additionally - and this is the big reveal - (SPOILER ALERT, if you don't already own these, you may want to just stop reading now so you can get the full effect if you decide to buy them later) - if you find that they aren't oriented the right direction, for example, they're oriented in the exact 180 degrees of the orientation you need them to be for your range, you can just peel off the top layer of the knob and BAM! there will be the same 1-10 knob but now 1 is 10 and 10 is 1. It's like magic, except it's SCIENCE... or is it? Ask a local wizard, or scientist, or both, and then make your own informed judgment.

Basic advice: don't buy this overpriced & under-performing range! We bought our expensive GE "Cafe Series" gas range when we finally started renovating our home after Hurricane Katrina, and like so many others who have reviewed this range, we are disappointed for multiple reasons: The "stainless steel" knobs are cheap plastic and now a 2nd knob (GE part #222D1387) has cracked and become useless for turning the gas burners ON or OFF, or for adjusting the flame height. Also, the center griddle burner is terrible -- it takes forever to heat up the griddle and never heats evenly, we have never been able to use it for its intended purpose! Likewise, the convection oven seems to take longer to cook everything. And it really is DUMB to have the two large burners in the front, assuming you are a serious cook, thereby making it a challenge just to get to any smaller pots once you have two large pots on the front burners. Very, very disappointed overall. The range looks good, for sure -- but looks aren't everything especially once you start actually using your range for what it's intended, namely cooking!

At first I was a little disappointed in finding that the temperature measurement was 2 degrees high. I expected better. I went to the Acurite website and found that the accuracy specification for the device was +/- 2 degrees thru the temperature range of 32 degrees F to 80 degrees F. So the device did meet its accuracy specification. I expected too much for the price. As an electrical engineer that spent a career designing measurement instruments, I should have recalled that a temperature sensor alone with a measurement accuracy specification better than +/- 5 degrees F would cost more than I paid for this meter.. That's why more accurate meters are calibrated for accuracy and cost more because of the labor cost of calibration. You get what you pay for, and at ten dollars this device meets specifications at a modest price. Hence four stars. Good device for the money if you can accept temperature accuracy of +/- 2 degrees. I note that the manufacturer's specification for humidity accuracy is +/- 10%. Seems reasonable, if you need more accuracy, get out the pocket book.

This cartridge is made by the Boneco company that took over Air-O-Swiss. The original Air-O-Swiss manufactured cartridge was made with some silver to prevent algae/mold/mildew in the water reservior. It was marked with "Ag" which is the chemical designation for silver. This Boneco cartridge was marked with "Na" which is the chemical designation for sodium. When I asked Boneco about it - they claimed that the "Na" stood for "not applicable" - yeah...right... It's printed in the same position on the outside of the cartridge as the "Ag" was printed on the Air-O-Swiss made cartridge. I wrote them stating that I did not appreciate paying for silver and getting no silver since the price of the old and new cartridge are the same. Also carrying over from the old cartridge is the exact same name and part number as the old silver containing cartridge. "Air-O-Swiss AOS 7531" So I tried the new Boneco cartridge and now the water and it's reservoir smell very musty. Boneco claimed the beads inside the cartridge are exactly the same...

I am writing this review after Maytag's wretched machine flooded our washroom for the third time this week. Frankly I would have given up on it sooner had I known, but I was not made aware of the problem until this evening. The machine's erratic symptoms include but are not limited to: -Failure to lock lid -Failure to illuminate LED's on control panel -Inoperative cycle cancel button -Perpetual filling and draining -Somehow managing to fill the washroom with water while its drum remains moist at best After diagnosis, the problem lies with the washer's control board. This part alone costs more than we paid for the new washer. At nine months out-of-warranty, it seems to have outperformed some of the machines in other reviews, but this is a small consolation. It seems that Maytag is guilty of the same sin as many of its competitors; attempting to cut the product lifespan as close to the snort warranty period as possible, then building the product up with meaningless tag lines like "Commercial Grade Motor". Nothing is commercial grade unless accompanied by a commercial grade warranty. Next shopping trip, I will bear in mind that a 1 year warranty means a 1 year product. And now, for stress relief, I will take this $450 piece of scrap metal into the woods and pit it against the product of a certain American firearms manufacturer that hasn't compromised their integrity for short-term sales.

We purchased this combo two years ago due to size limitations. I am a baker and a cook, the oven and the microwave are used daily. The microwave failed in 10 months, but was under the manufacturer's warranty. The magnetron was replaced but the repairman warned me and said, "get the extended warranty". Thank god I did. It failed again, 10 months later under the extended warranty. The repairman has been here 8 times and replaced every part and it still doesn't work. $3000 dollars for a pretty unit that is totally worthless. They now have to replace the entire unit. I wish I could buy another brand. Kitchen Aid is not the company it was and I will never buy another Kitchen Aid product. &nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/KitchenAid-Architect-Series-II-KEMS378SSS-27-Microwave-Combination-Wall-Oven-Stainless-Steel/dp/B0011YJMOY/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">KitchenAid Architect Series II : KEMS378SSS 27 Microwave Combination Wall Oven - Stainless Steel</a>

What a difference! Washer was sounding like a concrete truck at high speed during spin/rinse cycles.....I knew what the problem was, just had to wait until I was able to get this kit. Now my wash machine is unbelievably quiet. I would give it 5 stars, HOWEVER, someone AT WHIRLPOOL screwed up and packaged two of the lower bearings instead of one upper and one lower. LUCKILY, I pay attention to details and I'm good at research, I determined this before diving into this project and was able to locate a proper bearing. I also was able to put together my own bearing install tool which worked like a charm. Also noteworthy, there are NO instructions for this repair included with the kit....you have to find it online. Not too big of a deal, but I'm used to getting instructions with my repair kits. Overall, the kit was just as pictured (other than the bearing issue) and was shipped and arrived quickly. If you decide to do this repair to your wash machine, DEFINITELY look up some youtube videos on the subject and watch the videos. Take your time and do it right. Make sure you do this right and you won't regret it.

While the product is okay for the price, the unit was so poorly packaged that many parts arrived damaged. The box it came in was fine, but every piece of metal for mounting the unit was bent and had to be straightened to use. The stainless chimney parts which come inserted one inside the other were hit at some point and bent so badly in one corner I had to pound them flat. Thus the finished product has visible damage that can't be repaired. We had to install due to time line constraints so no time to reorder or mess with the hassle of trying to get parts replaced. I will pursue that now, The packing inside the box consisted of a few pieces of styrofoam fitted to the fan unit and then a bunch of broken pieces haphazardly thrown in to fill the spaces. Needless to say the unit will have to be disassembled to install the new chimney parts if we're able to get them at all. Overall we are not pleased. We did take pictures of the damage. It is simply appalling to find a product shipped so carelessly.

I love this controller! It was easy to set up although the commonly linked wiring diagram opens and closes the neutral leg rather than the hot (120 volt) leg. While it technically works, it is NOT SAFE to do so. Use the diagram linked from Control Products' website: [...] It is the proper way to wire this controller. Aside from the controller wiring, I was amused at the included user manual. The logic flow diagram was gibberish. If you get one like I did, just print the one linked from the Control Products' website: [...] The controller seems to be pretty accurate. I placed a known good temp probe/thermometer into a glass of water at various temperatures, and the TC-9102 was within a degree throughout the range. Since I plan to use it for controlling the temperature of fermenting malted beverages inside a chest freezer, the dual zone feature will come in handy. Summertime is no problem since the cooling mode will be used exclusively. But in an unconditioned space like my garage, wintertime will see a lot of variation in ambient temperature. I anticipate both the cooling and heating controls will kick in at the appropriate times. I picked up an inexpensive heater/fan to be used for the heating source when it's called for. Sweet!

The easy part, they work and are easy to put in. Ok, for the money this Kitchenaid Dishwasher cost, I should not have had to rebuild the racks both top and bottom so many times . I have a Stainless Steel KUD 30 FX 3S1 model with top adjustable rack. The after market parts from Whirpool ( the Manufacturer ) are a true rip off. The top shelf parts are priced in criminal fashion. I'm hoping someone from Whirlpool tries to sue me for the bad review so this info gets out there. The low rating is my disgust at the high cost and cheapness of the rack parts. A mass produced , injected molded , plastic part should not cost this kind of money. I usually try to have some fun with these reviews, but I am pretty close to spending enough money buying rack parts for this machine where as I could have purchased a new bargin brand washer somewhere. Shame on you Kitchen aid and Whirpool.

First of all, my fridge is a GE Adora 27.7 Cu. Ft. French-Door Refrigerator with freezer on the bottom. Prior to making this purchase, I had bought the regular GE MWF Water Filter for about $40/filter. When looking to make another purchase, I noticed the GE MWF SmartWater MWFP Comparable Water Filter and decided to give them a try. Well, I bought the 6-pack for $53.53 with free shipping. I took out the old GE Filter and installed the GE MWF SmartWater filter (after filling it with water of course) in its place. It was an easy install with no leaks and you could feel it seat itself as you twist it into place. I ran about 1/2 gallon of water through the filter to get the air out of the lines and such. Upon tasting the water, there was no odor or aftertaste only good, clean, refreshing, water. Oh! And huge savings. I mean, you do the math. $41.77 for one GE MWF Water Filter, or $53.53 for 6 GE MWF SmartWater MWFP Comparable Water Filters. BTW, the 6-pack of filters work out to be less than $9.00/filter. Sorry GE...

When the original W10295370 filter expired, we bought the new Everydrop replacement from Whirlpool. The water tasted horrible with the new filter. We replaced the reservoir in the refrigerator and the supply line as well. Still tasted bad. Couldn't return the bad filter because 30 days went past (It took time to get the plumber out here and to order the parts). So, I ordered another one thinking I did everything on my end so it must have been a rogue filter. That one came and I installed and flushed and used it for about 2 weeks. The water tastes horrible. I returned that one right away. There must be a problem with the newly branded Everydrop because the old blue filters worked just fine. I'm out the cost of a filter, a plumber and parts. I'm going to try and find the older Blue Filter to see if maybe when Whirlpool switched to Everydrop, there was some manufacturing problems with these newer ones.

I have collected three or four of these units over the years to control a chest freezer and mini fridges for beer making/serving. The latest such unit, I purchased from an Amazon seller. I will say I was surprised by the accuracy of the dial on the most recent unit I bought. My others do not control the temperature to the same level indicated on the dial, so I simply keep a thermometer inside the appliance and adjust accordingly. I know you can buy digital controllers for a little more money, but in my mind it feels like analog will be more durable -- that a digital model could fail more quickly. I could be completely making that up. This controller comes with a rather long power cord that may be longer than you need. At any rate, the power cord to the appliance itself will need to be the same length since it plugs into the controller's plug end. The temperature probe is attached to a long metal capillary tube. At 6 feet, it's plenty longer than I ever need; the excess stays coiled up. The tube is malleable and you can kind of bend it to take whatever configuration you need.

Such an overpriced product that I thought I would just so this with 4 inch vent pipe... And success! Don't waste your money on this. Just pull the old vent pipe out of the rear and measure and cut to length with a hacksaw for the new output hole. Cut the wide end and flare the edges with a pair of pliers. Use te pliers to remove the tacked on braket too. Test fit over the blower output. It should wiggle in about 1 inch max. Add a 90 from Home Depot which fits over the original pipe easily. The 90 has 4 parts so put it in straight then rotate inside the machine to get the angle. I vented out the bottom so that's all I needed! It can push up so you can slide the dryer into place then pull the 90 down a little from underneath ( assuming basement access). I don't see a need for tape as the 90 fits over the pipe by 2-3 inches and it's all solid smooth pipe. If you need side venting just add a straight length of pipe off the 90 and out of the machine. Hope this helps someone out there wondering if it would work!

After my dryer stopped working, I called a repair guy to troubleshoot why it would no longer start. He charged almost $100 to tell me that the motor was no good. He said it would cost almost $300 to fix but that the $100 diagnostic fee would be waived. Talk about highway robbery. For what he was charging, I could just buy a new dryer instead. Well before I decided to invest in a new machine, I went on-line to see if I could do it myself. Sure enough there were a couple of sites who offered step by step instructions on how to do your own diagnostic. I first purchased and changed the thermal limiter. That didn't fix it. Next, I changed the safety thermostat. Still no good. I finally changed the switch and the dryer still wouldn't start. Finally, I saw the motor on amazon for $62 and said this would be my last attempt. After watching a tutorial on repairclinic .com, I was able to swap the motor with no real issues. It took about an hour because I had to run and get a 7/8 socket head. Other than that, no problems. The motor came nicely packed and looked brand new. I'm very pleased with the purchase and having a working dryer again!

This is the second time I've ordered this product. The first time was because I was trying to find a cheaper alternative than the genuine Samsung filter. The product was great, and lasted the advertised time frame. Next time around I decided to try a genuine Samsung again which worked well, but I noticed the water stream on the Samsung unit was VERY slow, annoyingly so. So recently I decided to go round 3 with the Water Sentinel product again and I noticed the water streams out much faster. I don't know if its a good or bad thing. Part of me was thinking maybe the Samsung was filtering better because it was so slow, but I have nothing to back my opinion on that. All I know is the water tastes good coming from both units, but I prefer the speed of the Water Sentinel unit. Additionally, I like that they package the unit with a small tube of o-ring lubricant to help keep the filter in working condition during installation. Great company and great product and I will continue to order this for replacement on my fridge!

I bought this unit on 11/30/08. Unit started dumping ice in the back and would fall out when you open the freezer door. After Puttin up with it for 8 months I did some research on line and on LG website it said there was a fix. Called LG (website scheduling did not work). They sent a man out. He said there was no fix, this model always does it. I pressed him and showed him what I found on line. He order a new ice maker and bin assembly. It was just like the old one and did not fix the problem. It still does it. (SICK) Now 11/21/10 (sunday morning) the unit was DEAD. No lights or anything. Did some troubleshooting and found fuse blown on the board on the back. Read on line here where another person found the same thing. I am off to Radio Shack now to get a real fuse holder and fuse. HOpe that is it. Not happy about $200 for new board (mentioned in an earlier review).

Arrived ahead of schedule. Initially installed in recirculating mode. Recommends using just the first two fan settings in this mode. Can be noisy on level two. Best to be vented to outside to take advantage of all the features. Matches my Electrolux wavetouch beautifully. Price and features are what sold me on this product.

I've had the ice maker now for a couple of weeks, and it does indeed make ice quite well. Here are some honest observations on it's performance... good and bad: Once the basket is full of ice, it pauses production until enough melts to make room for another batch... it does this continually until you empty the basket. The compressor and fan noise is louder than my refrigerator. The ice cubes are infused with tiny air bubbles which allows the ice to melt faster than typical ice. The ice from the basket is always wet (melting), because it isn't cold enough inside the unit. Therefore ice transferred to your freezer will always refreeze together and have to be broken up for use. I have found the most efficient way to use it is to make ice for a couple of days, turn it off, and stockpile the ice in the freezer till I need ice again. Use the first week's ice production for coolers only. It will taste funky regardless of cleaning before use. Hope this was helpful...

I would recommend avoiding this product. The spin drying section of our washer broke after 2 months and there appears to be no way to contact the seller or manufacturer to get it repaired. I am only writing this review after try every option available to me to get it fixed. I have emailed the seller OneBigOutlet 3 times with no response. There was no information about how to contact the manufacturer, or even who the manufacturer is, that came with the unit. Amazon says they can't help unless I have a written refusal of service from the manufacturer, who I cannot even identify. Oh, and I bought the extended warranty, which I never received. When it was working, it was quite good and exactly what we needed. I didn't really expect a washer at this price not to have any problems. My issue is that if there is a problem, there appears to be no way to fix it. So far, neither OneBigOutlet, Amazon or the extended warranty I bought have helped me in anyway, and I am having trouble even finding out who manufacturers the washer to try to get service or even parts. So please avoid unless you are comfortable with the idea of not having any way to get the machine serviced if something goes wrong.

This product was exactly what was needed to get us washing again. It fit just right and I was able to plug it in and it worked immediately. I was glad to get the product quickly and not have to wait too long for it to arrive. At the price, it is well worth it...much cheaper than other places...and significantly cheaper than a repairman. Anyone could do this fix - all you need is a screwdriver and a little common sense. Note: Because I needed a quick fix, I chose not to disassemble the front of the machine to correctly route the wiring harness and assemble it; I just plugged it in the top connector (behind the main switchboard on the front) and laid the lid switch assembly to the side. This means that the lid can be opened without interrupting a wash cycle, but it saved me the hassle of taking off the front of the washing machine to route the new wiring harness. It would probably only take an hour or so to do it, but since it works fine as is, I just left it. I can manually switch it on/off and it worked fine.

We purchased our Whirlpool Duet washer and dryer two years ago. They were problematic from the beginning. The dryer has to be watched carefully...if you leave a load of clothes and assume they are dry...you have a problem. It dries somethings in the load and not other. It was explained to me that some clothes get thrown to the back of the dryer away from the sensors and don't get dry. AND THIS ISN'T A FLAW...IT IS THE WAY IT WORKS. The washer has had all the main computer compenents replaced while it was under warranty. The repairmen constantly tried to get me to buy an extended warranty. I didn't. Now I have a worthless 2 year old washer. I shouldn't have had to buy the warranty. Companies have gone into the warranty business as opposed to building a good product. Consumer Reports rated this washer and dryer at the top of the list of front loaders the year I bought mine. So, I am done with Consumer Reports too...they are clearly paid off.

I have had both machines for upwards of 2 years and have had no issues with either machine. Clothes come out clean and smelling nice. Dryer dries clothes quickly as they come out of the wash cycle with no excess water on them. If you are complaining of bad smells in your washer YOU are not taking care of the machine properly! You have to get the washing machine cleaner recommended for this machine and clean it MONTHLY. Also, don't close the machine door when not in use... so if you have a very small space for this machine or ANY front loader, don't buy one. I leave the door open and the soap dispenser pulled out when not in use to give everything a chance to dry out otherwise you keep moisture in, thus your bad smelling musty machine. Also, the buttons are sensitive but I have my machines in a wide open laundry room and do not bump into them. Seems like some of you are giving the machine a bad rap for stupid reasons. They are affordable and reliable thus far in my opinion. I say go for it!

Where to start...this product was a breeze to install, using the recommended tools. All items were packaged securely and no damage was noticed. Still waiting to get my keg filled, so I cannot comment on actual usage of this product yet, but definitely will in the future. One small complaint, very minor, is with the drilling of the holes in the actual fridge door. I am unsure as to why the manufacture says to drill a larger diameter hole on the outside (1 3/8" compared to 7/8" on the inside hole) as the shank that goes through the door does not require such a large opening. Either way, the black plastic washer is large enough to cover the hole, but I found it unnecessary. As one other reviewer noted, hose clamps are not of the best quality, however, I feel they will do just fine and can be easily replaced if so desired. (I used the plastic ones that came with the kit, but can be easily upgraded in the future.) Other than that, everything seemed to be of high quality and I am waiting patiently to have my first beer from my new addition to the man cave!! Amazon, thanks for the awesome product at an awesome price!!!

I haven't changed the rubber hoses on our washer since we purchased it about 10 years ago and figured it was about time. After reviewing and comparing many hoses it looked like this one was one of the best. I definitely made a good choice. When you open the package and look/feel where the hose meets the connector you can appreciate the quality. These are many times better than your plain rubber hoses. The angled connector for the back of the washer means you don't have to bend it, just point in the direction you want the hose to go. There's not much more to say - you connect it, it works. I suspect it will last longer than the rubber ones it replaced. Lastly, purchase the hoses from Ace. Though it would appear the price is a few cents higher if you add the shipping cost, that's only if you're buying just one. For the second one, the additional shipping is only about 70 cents more - not double the shipping amount shown. Since most people will be buying two at a time, the total cost from Ace is a few dollars less expensive than the other merchants.

So far seems to be just as described. This is the right size for my trucker son. Fits nicely in his cab, removable handles are a great touch. Making footprint even smaller. Freezer sections hold plenty of frozen food for those extra long times away from home. Truckers don't always have luxury of stopping at grocery stores to restock. Convenience stores and truck stops have limited food (often just junk) and expensive! He now takes meat, veggies and fruit in this unit. Healthier, more affordable, and better taste than canned. Our only worry is will the cord hold up, cords often burn out and melt. This is a very common problem. Time will tell. ADDED AUGUST 3, 2016 still very happy as for interior size see pics. I do not have measurements. remote in pics is 8 3/4 "long 2 " wide ; mouse is 4" by 2 " Description of product says it holds 64 , 12 oz cans.

I live in an area where the summers are just way too hot. As such, I'm always on the lookout for anything that will help me stay cooler. So I thought I'd try out the Chilled Creations Ice Cube Tray. This ice cube tray makes some serious cubes of ice. When I first popped them out of the tray, I didn't think they were really 2 inch cubes ... yep, they are ... I measured 'em! And they do keep my water and iced tea cooler ... for a longer time ... than "regular" ice cubes, which was my object in the first place. This tray is very flexible, apparently made out of silicone. I was expecting something that was more like "hard plastic," that would "pop" the cubes out ... and then break. With this tray, I had to mess with the ice cubes a bit to get them out of the tray. But the tray is very flexible and "bendable," and I half-way "squeezed" the cubes out ... and half-way "peeled" the cubes out of the tray. As such, I've not yet figured out quite the best and easiest way to get the cubes out ... but the tray stays intact, does not break or perforate, and remains ready for the next "6-pack" of "Man-Sized" ice cubes. Overall, bigger ice cubes work better for me than smaller ice cubes.

This review only concerns the Electrolux refrigerator. Almost three years ago electrolux replaced my two year old refrigerator with a brand-new one after many attempts to fix the ice cube maker. Currently the replacement refrigerator is less than three years old and was installed two years ago. A malfunction with the ice cube maker created a blockage which damaged key components inside the ice cube maker itself causing those parts (hard shap plastic, styrofoam, other plastic) to be served with the ice cubes. The bottom line here is I have owned two of Electrolux's best refrigerators and both have had major issues with their ice cube maker. Upon contacting Electrolux for the 30th time over six years and two refrigerators later they only offered me 50% off on parts which still leaves 100% of labor as my cost and another 50% of parts as my cost. All in all Electrolux only offered me 25% of the cost of the solution and leaving 75% of the cost to me while maintaining that they value me as a customer 100%. Given I only own one Electrolux product, it seems excessive over six years and two refrigerators I have contacted had to contact their customer service 30 times.

First, the ones I got were 5 packs with 2 filters each that look similar to the picture, but the brand is HOME-AIDE and the model no is k2499. They are aluminum and are made in China. The amazon marketplace seller mine came from is One Super Bargain. Long before mine filled with lint it started to disintegrate sending junk down the drain. At first it was catching lint and looked fine. But today I noticed a bunch of junk in the sink (more had gone down the drain) and found a large opening in the lint trap. I gently pulled at it and more ripped open with little resistance as if there wasn't any metal left, just lint that was barely holding together. They seem like metal mesh when new, weak and rather coarse but seemingly sufficient, but after about a month the mesh won't hold together any more. I am not sure what on earth is going on! It is like the mesh is dissolving away. I have used several other brands with zero issues and am on normal city water. I bought these to prevent problems and now I am having lint and mesh going down my drain. These are cheap, dangerous lint filters! However, it is possible that some sellers are shipping different brand filters that work better.

I bought the 50mm size to replace a more expensive and over-engineered German-manufactured ground spike made of tough polycarbonate, which broke after 3 months in use. The Brabantia ground spike is a simple but well thought-out design about 50cm in length. It takes a lot of hammering-in and you must ensure you drive it into the ground perpendicular or the clothes dryer pole will not be vertical. The spike will go into soft ground and subsoil but you will need a large mallet or sledgehammer for the job plus bodily strength and determination, and once seated you will not easily get it out. The spike is 100% aluminium so it won't rust and has tough side fins which help keep it vertical when hammering into the ground, and then makes it more resistant to lateral movement once the dryer pole is inserted and the wind starts to blow the structure around. The 50mm diameter size has a detachable yellow plastic cap to more easily locate the aperture in long grass, and also protects the channel from rain filling it up during prolonged wet periods. Overall the product is tough, simple in design and looks permanent, and comparatively cheap. The only caution is that hammering it into the ground is a major operation, and may be virtually impossible if the ground is hard or stony.

Having tried other filters the advantage of OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) are clearly the least risk alternative. Compared to other filters these produce a clean fresh taste to the water. Others I've tried produced a plastic taste, hard to install, or fail. If you've ever changed a Samsung filter you'll also notice a rather arcane connection process. Aligning with the unlabeled side and 1/4 twisting to the lock position can be a challenge since the grove and lock system employed by Samsung is quite tricky. The filter must be in the lock (aligned icons) for the filter to engage in the water system. If it is not the water will simply bypass the filter. I had a neighbor who complained about his filter until I removed it and showed him it had no water in it. Re-aligning it produced the result he was looking for. The reason I mention this is if the filter is not made exactly to specification it will not twist completely into the water line. The water will bypass the filter and you will get bad water. Even with these OEM filters I have had (1) which didn't work. With the knockoffs I had (4) over the years. I would recommend on the side of caution and buy OEM. Yes they cost more, but at least you know what your getting.

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 installed this on my KitchenAid dishwasher. Super easy to install, and now my dishwasher door doesn't go flying down with a crash, and my wife is happy! Total install time for both sides was about 15 minutes. I wish I knew it was this cheap and easy to fix, and I would have done it 5 months ago. I will note that the strings/ropes were shorter than the original ones from the manufacturer (even though Amazon says it fits my model). This stretched the spring out farther than before, putting extra pressure on the string/rope. I figured this would wear it out quickly, and I'd be in the same boat again in the near future. To resolve this, I was able to move the location of the spring up (there is another hole up closer to the door), which compensated for the shorter string. So, in spite of this issue, I was able to install this kit in my dishwasher, and it has been working great, so it still gets 5 stars!
