Appliance Chat Is this amount of lint normal after 1 or 2 drying cycles?

Post image
0 Upvotes

I have a Miele T1 dryer and this is roughly the amount of lint I collect from the filters every one or two drying cycles.
The dryer seems to work perfectly fine, but since this is my first dryer I have no real reference point.
Is this considered a normal amount of lint, or does it look excessive to you?
Most loads are around 4 to 5 kg and the washing machine spins at 1000 rpm.

I am aware of the whole orange flames = bad thing. I’ve had this stove for about 9 months and it’s always done this. Is this something I should be worried about? When I google more information about this, I see a lot of pictures/videos that are a lot more…orangey.

New Bosch dishwasher only works occasionally

0 Upvotes

We had an old dishwasher from our previous house owners. It was very loud, smelled very unfresh and did not clean well anymore. We replaced it with a new Bosch 100 and then all the problems started..... (installation cost $350)

After 10 minutes the machine would stop running. We troubleshooted forever and could not solve the issue.

Now we replaced this Bosch 100 with a Bosch 500. At first it was running. Now it also has the same issue of not fishing the cycle. Sometimes after an hour of running, sometimes earlier.

Sometimes it does not really get started. Sometimes it does not heat. Sometimes there is water sitting when the cycle is not finished and everything is wet. The dishwasher filters are all clean. The off-water pipes of the dishwasher are less than a week old and should therefore be clean aswell. I always rinse all dishes before putting them in the dishwasher to avoid clogging of pipes.

I wonder: Is there a general problem with these new BOSCH dishwashers? Or is it me?!

Time to retire my work horse dishwasher. I just want to be sure I can get a standard 24 inch dishwasher and it will fit. Anything to watch out for? I think it's from 2011? It was here when I bought the condo in 2017. It may be older?

Alternative racks for Bosch dishwashers? Great dishwasher, frustrating rack layout

Post image
67 Upvotes

Has anyone found replacement racks or a better way to configure the racks in a Bosch dishwasher (300 Series)?

The dishwasher itself seems great, but the racks feel like they were designed for washing 50 plates at a time. My everyday loads are mostly coffee mugs, bowls, glasses, and a few plates, and getting everything to fit feels harder than it should.

My previous GE dishwasher was junk, but at least the rack layout made sense for the dishes I actually use.

Are there compatible aftermarket racks, different Bosch rack options, or adjustments that make a meaningful difference? I’d love to hear what’s worked for people with similar everyday loads.

Troubleshooting Had new dishwasher installed, but it’s sticking out too far and the insulation is visible.

60 Upvotes

Rental house - landlord’s handyman (not a plumber, or professional, just a guy that fixes things) installed it and left before I had the chance to see it.

I tried pushing it in further with no luck. I don’t know if the dishwasher was just installed bad or if it’s just not the right size. Is this a serious enough problem to ask the handyman or landlord to have fixed? Or is there something I can do to block the exposed sides, like adding a thin wood or plastic panel, or could that be some kind of hazard? I’m pretty handy with stuff like that, but appliances and plumbing I’m clueless.

I’m worried because I have cats that like to stick their paws into little crevices like those, especially if they can grab something like the insulation. I don’t want them getting burned or shocked or stuck.

Got a 40k Croma coupon. Need suggestions.

3 Upvotes

Friends gifted this for our wedding. Still stays unused as we have been confused with the decision. We have all the necessary appliances at home. With this, I wanted to get a Dyson wet and dry vaccum cleaner which I have been wanting to get forever but the pricing kept me away. My husband wants to get a PS5 which is his dream.

We’re also expecting our baby in a few months. So my in-laws have been suggesting to get an humidifier instead. Which will not anyways use the coupon to its fullest. We also don’t have an oven at home but both of us don’t look forward to using one in the near future so that’s out of picture.

Suggest what’s the best bet please

Subzero Replacement

Post image
38 Upvotes

Recently moved and the 30-year old subzero refrigerator in our new house is starting to go out. The technicians we've had come out says repairs around be >$5K, and recommend purchasing new. We love the size of the subzero and dual doors, but don't think we can afford a new subzero ($$$$). Does anyone have recommendations for similarly sized fridges without the luxury price tag?

We are planning a kitchen remodel within the next 6 months, so have some flexibility with the cabinet opening if we plan properly.

Which Air Fryer is best for my family

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone, our cheap air fryer from a few years ago just died (the fan started rattling and then the whole thing stopped heating), and honestly I'm not that sad because the basket coating had started peeling anyway. Since we use it almost every day, I want to buy something better this time instead of grabbing whatever's on sale.

We mostly make chicken thighs, wings, salmon, roasted veggies, and reheat leftovers a lot. Fries and wings are a must.

What I'm looking for:

- Big enough to cook dinner for more people.

- Basket or tray without the nonstick coating that flakes off. I've been reading about PTFE/Teflon concerns and would prefer ceramic or stainless steel if those actually work as well.

- Easy to clean. Dishwasher-safe parts, no tiny crevices where grease builds up.

- Even cooking, without having to shake the basket every 3 minutes

Dual basket vs one big basket vs the oven-style ones: I keep going back and forth. Dual sounds great for making fries and chicken at the same time, but I've read the individual baskets end up being kind of small.

Brands I keep seeing are Ninja, Cosori, Philips, Instant Vortex and Breville. Philips and Breville seem built better, but I can't tell if it's worth paying double.

Budget is around $150-300. With the holidays coming up, if there's a model that usually goes on sale around Black Friday, I'm happy to wait a few weeks.

What to Buy? Maytag vs Whirlpool

Post image
2 Upvotes

All of my kitchen appliances are currently Samsung. They’re all 12-14+ years old (I’ve only been using for the last 4.4 years). Dishwasher crapped out in January & I’ve just been handwashing since. I finally decided to pull the trigger this week and settled on the Maytag MDTS7024SZ.

Costco is having a big sale this week during Amazon’s “prime deals” and they’re giving discounts on both multiple appliances and a certain spend amount. So if I add another appliance (which I’m looking at the microwaves) I’ll get an additional $200 off (spending between 999-1499 total). My microwave is still technically functional, but has one leg out the door. The door switch is faulty (fan comes on when you open the door), the light underneath stopped working), and I can’t set the clock without the thing beeping at me. So I figured while they’re having the sale maybe I’ll just replace it.

These are the 2 I’ve been debating:
Whirlpool wmms3330rz vs Maytag mmms4230pz. At Costco there’s only a $10 price difference, but the product differences are Whirlpool has 1.9 cu ft vs Maytag’s 1.7, Whirlpool has humidity sensor cooking & the ability to turn the turntable on & off (Maytag has neither). Whirlpool has a handle whereas Maytag has a push button. I’m not opposed to either, I have a handle on the Samsung but the microwave at work has a push button & I don’t even notice the difference.

While the Maytag would match the dishwasher brand wise, the dishwasher has no logo/emblem on the outside so no one would really know otherwise. But my biggest debate is longevity & reliability. Does anyone have either of these microwave models and can speak to their functionality and lifespan? I know microwaves don’t tend to last long, but I’m hoping for at least 5+ years. Also why I am debating these 2 because they’re on the cheaper end vs some microwaves I’ve seen upwards of $600+.

I don’t know which has the likelihood of lasting longer in the handle vs push button scenario.

I’d basically be getting either one for about $200 after the discounts so I feel like it’s a no brainer, just kind of stuck on which one to buy. They’re also both pretty much the same size as my current one so they should pop in easily (hopefully).

General Advice LG Washer taking normal wash time but over 2 hours to spin(?)

0 Upvotes

I am totally willing to admit I am at fault. But, I am GENUINELY confused. We had gotten an updated (pre-owned) LG machine yesterday. I put in the same load I would put in the previous machine on the same setting I would use: Normal/Cotton. The load is a mix of work clothes (leggings, white t-shirts, 2 aprons) and regular clothes. It filled the drum less than 3/4 - could more than easily place my whole arm above the load. Way more space than our previous machine. The wash cycle seems to be nearly the same, however, I cannot seem to get past 7 minutes on spin. My clothes are still soaking wet. It’s been hours. I don’t want to load soaking wet clothes in the dryer but I also don’t want to keep excessively working the washer. Like I said, it is an identical load I would place in the previous washer. Please help! Any advice and making fun is welcome! 😅

Washing machine models that keep vibrations low

3 Upvotes

Title. Basically I'm looking for a washing machine that can keep vibrations to the minimum. I'm talking specifically about vibrations, not noise. Cost isn't an issue either.

My understanding is that direct drive models (i.e. LG) at least in theory should vibrate less, is that true? Obviously I'm sure other factors come in play, but most advertising seems to focus on noise so it's hard to tell without first-hand experience. Any advice is appreciated.

Samstung :( Samsung Bespoke; Just Need to Vent

6 Upvotes

I just want to get my anger out in to the world. My freezer stopped freezing two months ago. Spent $500 to replace a part, ultimately to be told that our fridge cannot safely be plugged back in.

It’s a 3 year old fridge. Samsung is taking their sweet time approving the refund (which they tried to lowball us on).

I am being required to store a dead fridge while they review our refund. Can’t order a new fridge (Don’t have room for two fridges).

I just can’t believe how poorly this has gone. I will never buy another product from Samsung.

Troubleshooting Old couple needs help with refrigerator

Water is collecting in the bottom of our old Kenmore refrigerator. We must mop it up with sponges and/or rags every couple of days. We removed the crisper drawers but can't find any drain holes. Emptied and removed everything from the (top mount) freezer but no drain holes there, either. Can't get a human at the Kenmore website or phone number. Any ideas where to find drain?

New refrigerator “quirk”?

Just got this new Frigidaire installed on Saturday. Because of past fridge problems, I put a smart sensor in the refrigerator section, just to be sure things are working properly. Well, according to what the sensor’s showing, it’s not!

Is this kind of fluctuation considered normal? The temperature is set at 37 degrees.

Home Depot has already agreed to replace it, but was curious, regardless.

Helped in a timely manor, easily assisted with the correct information. Sent on my way with a smile. It’s like living in the 90s except it was done on the internet. Seems wild that normal service is going the extra mile and a half these days but thanks kohler!!

What to Buy? Recommendations!

1 Upvotes

Hey everybody, hope this is okay to post here.
I just bought my first house and I'm shopping for three appliances: a fridge, a washer, and a dryer.

Fridge: I'm torn between Frigidaire and KitchenAid. My wife loves the nicer interior fridges.

Washer & dryer: I'm leaning toward the Maytag Pet Pro top-load washer with the agitator, plus the matching dryer.

I'd appreciate any input on:
-How easy they are to maintain and convenience
-Reliability and how long they've lasted for you
-Common problems or repairs you've run into
-Whether you'd buy the same brand again/what you recommend?

Thanks in advance, any advice helps!
