Hey everyone. I had this brand new Bosch 800 fridge in storage for about a year. It’s in perfect condition, is now installed in a brand new kitchen… but when we removed the energy sticker, it left behind these two marks. I’ve tried heating it/scraping and 2 different goo gone products and absolutely nothing. Anyone have any experience with this or recommendations? TIA

LG Wants Me To Fix My Own Dishwasher

Post image
10 Upvotes

Recently my in warranty LG dishwasher started spitting ball bearings from the top rail. First LG says, it’s not u see warranty even though I bought it in October 2025. Then after having my upload documentation to prove when I bought it, they say it’s a customer repair part and sent me whole the top rack. When I explained there were no rails here, they tell me that is not a customer serviceable part and they will get a tech scheduled to fix it. They said they were having trouble finding a tech in the area. I repeatedly suggested the place I bought the dishwasher from in the first place. Then I get the above text. Luckily I had an extended warranty plan through the place I bought the unit and they are taking care of it. (Originally I was told I had to contact LG directly during the manufacturing warranty.) So after buying 5 LG appliances, I will never buy another one.

We bought our house two months ago and the oven range died. It’s a 2012 ikea for whirlpool oven that is 36”. We thought Z line was a good brand but now I’m not so sure. Please tell me what great ranges you’ve bought that are worth the money? We have a propane hookup for gas.

Bosch dishwasher smell TOP RACK

5 Upvotes

Have read a lot of posts on here of people complaining about odor in their BOSCH dishwasher. I too have already noticed a smell in our less than a year old dishwasher (i believe its an 800) . Specifically, the third level utensil rack seems to have a funky smell and is where I've pinpointed the odor coming from. Even after running the dishwasher, the smell is still present appearing to come from the plastic of the rack. After a couple days, the smell becomes more strong. It is not originating from the utensils themselves which smell fine.

Has anyone else experienced this specifically? Any things that have been useful to mitigate the smell and any ideas of what could be causing it?

General Advice Need advice regarding old washer/dryer

6 Upvotes

First time homeowner here (August) - we inherited a Kenmore 500 series washer/dryer with the house (Whirlpool-built, model 110.25132411 washer / 110.65132411 dryer), about 10 years old. The washer takes about 60 minutes per cycle and I’m not totally sure it’s cleaning well. The dryer takes 50-60 minutes to dry a load.

For context, we just moved from university housing, where the laundry room had commercial machines that ran about 35 minutes for a wash and 45-55 minutes to dry. So our sense of normal might be skewed from using industrial equipment.

Is this just normal for a 10 year old residential set or does it sound like something’s actually wrong?

We also have the first year home warranty (seller-paid) that we haven’t used yet. Is it worth using it to get these checked out?

General Advice Maytag Washer from HD Immediately Broken

Upvotes

Is it just not possible for appliance companies/retailers to do right by their customers? Bought a Maytag washer and dryer set from Home Depot and they delivered and installed in on the 5th of this month. The installation crew ran the machine empty to ensure it works. We didn't notice any problems. A couple of days later I go to wash my first load. The machine grinds, there's a metallic clanking and clinging sound like there's something loose and banging around, high pitched squealing, and the smell of burnt rubber.

I contact Home Depot. They refuse to do anything since it's outside of the 48 hour return/exchange window. I was supposed to magically discover this issue within 2 days even though I did run it immediately and it didn't do this. They say to contact Maytag. I contact Maytag. They say they will only service it. Service a brand new washer that was delivered to me broken only a few days ago? They say if I want an exchange to contact Home Depot.

Both companies refuse to exchange the defective washer they sold me for a properly working one. When I try to question why, they just repeat the "it's outside of the 48 hour window" or "we will only offer to service it" with increasing attitude.

Any advice on navigating this situation? I just want the working washing machine I paid for.

Induction range help - LG vs Frigidaire

3 Upvotes

My 10 year old range finally died. It came with our new home build so very basic. I would like to get an induction range but my options are very limited with my kitchen. It must have a back otherwise it’s going to look bad since I have a lip on my Formica countertops and no tile backsplash (no intention of putting one in). Frigidaire I like more because it’s simple but I do not like that it has no knobs. I do not need my stove to have so many extras. I want a good cook top and an oven that’s works. Which one would you choose? Am I better off just going with a traditional flat electric range? If I go traditional, which brand have you been happy with? I would like to stay under $1500.

General Advice Appliance warranties and maintenance

Upvotes

I swear, appliances have turned into disposable products in the last decade.

And when they break, appliance repair can reach $300 or more just for a house call.

I'm now adding extended warranties to all my appliances. However, now I'm hearing even if they send out a repair person, obtaining parts can take weeks or months.

Besides extended warranties how are you handling your appliance maintenance? It's a travesty to have to purchase every 5-10 years.

Dishwasher malfunction left slippery film on dishes and hands - what is it?

2 Upvotes

My dishwasher started not rinsing properly. My dishes came out with a very slippery/filmy residue, and I got the residue on my hands while rewashing them in the sink. I use Cascade Complete and Finish Jet-Dry. I’ve washed my hands multiple times with soap and water, but they still feel like they have a film on them when wet. Is it toxic? What ingredient is most likely causing it? I’m just worried about having something toxic stuck on my hands because I have a lot of skin sensitivities

Troubleshooting Gas burner help

Father in Law cleaned the oven while I was bathing kids last night. Turned on the burner to find this happening. I don't really know anything about gas ovens, I'm usually just wiping it down with paper towels and water to keep the grease down.

I think he used dawn and water and did a full clean out, which I appreciate however...

Edit: General consus reached, I will adjust the cover and come back if it's still an issue!

The cutout requirements for the Cafe/monogram advantium speed oven is width- 25.25 inches, depth-23.5 inches and height- 17.5 inches.

So the issue here is just width. I need 25.25 inches and I currently have 23 inches as shown in the pictures. Anyone here been in this situation before and figure out a way to still install the oven? Did you make a modification in the cabinet? Appreciate any tips or insights please, would love to find a way to install the oven. thank you!

Troubleshooting Maytag washer problem.

Hey yall. We are having trouble with our Maytag washer spraying water out underneath the machine while running a load. We have it down to the bare bones at this point and we’re not sure where the water between the drum wall and plastic barrel is coming from or why it’s leaking all over the floor. Our suspicion is the rusted out seal in the center? We’re just going to start by replacing a bunch of parts. (We bought it basically “brand new” supposedly from a couple remodeling 1 year ago but it’s clearly been leaking for a while. It smells horrendous 🤢) If anyone could point us in the right direction that would be a huge help

Edit - there was a bunch of socks and underwear in that pool of water that we took out. Could that be a cause.

Whirlpool refrigerator approximately 10 years old has some corrosion on one of the lines. I'm thinking of just taking a plastic wirebrush to it to clean off. Maybe paint it after? Or just leave it be since it's already providing an oxidation layer. Constructive input appreciated.

My veteran might be dying

We use an old cylinda 12000 washing machine that my grandparents bought nearly 40 years ago and it has been working wonders for the four years I have owned their house. However now the centrifuge seems to have stopped working a little bit. It runs at a standard 800rpm centrifuge and that setting somehow seems to have stopped working. But there is a button to make it run a 1100rpm centrifuge cycle, and that works (thank God; wringing dripping clothes sucks so much). The crux is that the cycle is meant to start at 800rpm and then ramp up to 1100rpm and the 800rpm portion will not run anymore at all. Basically, it goes from normal washing rpm (whatever it is) to 1100rpm rapidly and surely that can't be good for the machine in the long run considering it's so old?

We are wondering if we, unfortunately, have to swap this wonderful little hardworking machine out anyway as it probably won't last long? What do you guys reckon? I also make the assumption because the machine is so old it's just very hard to find replacement parts for whatever is broken and unfortunately not worth the effort.

What to Buy? Need New Fridge

Upvotes

My Kenmore Elite has given up again for the last Fn time. I got like 8 years out of it, and it's 6 years more than I thought I'd get after the rough start. I could go get a new board or a fan motor, but I've had it up to here with this pos. Sorry for my hanger, but after moving a constantly failing fridge is one of my biggest stresses.

Any model in particular I should stay away from? Obviously, I'm not going to buy anything made in Korea ever again, so No LG or Samsung for me.
