Kenmore HE2 Plus washer bellow 8540952 AP4379904

• Kenmore HE2 Plus washer bellow 8540952 AP4379904

My old bellow on my washer was accumulating a black mold and no amount of cleaning could get rid of or prevent it. I read online the product is easily replaced following these instructions. (repair manual for HE2 washer same as whirlpool duet:

The hardest part was putting the outside spring wire that holds the bellow in place, back on. What worked for me was to use two sets of needle nose pliers and grab both ends of the spring and pull the spring apart while placing the wire around the bellow. It took me about 1 hour to remove and replace this piece, mainly because I cleaned the inside of the washer and I also cleaned the filter (located at the bottom of most front load washers you already have it open you might as well). It was a good thing I cleaned the filter it was full of mildew smelling garbage and about $1.50 in change. This is not a hard task to complete, and it is cheaper than buying new or hiring a repair guy.

Not a 100% perfect fit, but it works. Appears to be wider than the original, but in spite of that, it does seal and it did not leak during the initial test.

This product is a great replacement when you need it for your washer. This part tends to collect with mold and begins to smell. The installation is a little difficult but it can be done. Putting the tension band back on to the washing machine is the most difficult part and I needed the wife's hands to help. I will tell you this, replacing this part saved me from buying a new machine and saved me quite a bit of money. There are no compatibility issues at all, everything was a snug fit and there are no leaks.

I bought this after the original one got a rip in it. The washer (Epic Z) is only 1-1/2 years old, but has always leaked around the seal.

We read up on it and thought it was because we were overloading it.

Then my wife accidently tore the bottom and it started to leak more.

Ordered the bellow, and it only took about an hour to replace. Watched a how-to on Youtube first.

Danby DAR125SLDD 4.4 cu.ft. All Refrigerator - Spotless Steel

• 4.4 cu. ft. (124.6 litre) capacity compact refrigerator
• Scratch resistant work-top is a great place to store
• 2 full shelves and 1 half shelf for maximum storage versatility; Crisper with glass top
• Automatic defrost, Mechanical thermostat
• Interior light

I bought this fridge short notice when a defrosting attempt rendered my last beer fridge inoperable, and I felt a little pressured to hit the Go button on it as my tasty 12oz's of Heaven slowly warmed. But I must say I'm not disappointed at all! It's a great size, looks fantastic, isn't as heavy as I thought it would be, is very quiet, and keeps more than 60 bottles of Sam Adams ice cold and within arms reach with room to spare! My original fridge was a Kenmore job, with a pathetic waste-of-space freezer section (which this does not have) that for some unknown reason Sears saw fit to make the freezer floor out of the cooling element. So of course it iced up like you read about, and I, like many a man before me, took the task of removing this ice seriously (it was encroaching on my beer space as it grew!)...and pulled out my trusty, and ridiculously pointy, pocket knife. So after a bath of freon, or what ever the hell they're using these days to cool, washed over me with a snake-like hiss, I proceeded to slam the door and muscle the fridge out to the driveway where it still sits. Luckily my beer supply was low (it pains me to admit this), so I only needed to commandeer a single shelf in the practically useless "food" fridge as the wife calls it. But knowing this arrangement wouldn't last, I needed a new fridge, and fast. So I bit the bullet after reading a few whiny reviews about ridiculously trivial issues (like not getting cool enough, or damaged in shipping; neither of which plague(d) my unit), even springing for the $4 overnight option (Thank you PRIME!), and couldn't be happier. My pregnant wife likes it so much she's decided to throw caution to the wind and resume drinking. Who could resist pulling a frosty beverage from this bad boy and tossing it back at the end of a hard day? Not this guy! And this fridge delivers with style. Only thing I can think of as a drawback is it doesn't keep the ice frozen, but then, giving up room in it for ice when it could be holding more beer is just ludicrous. This scenario actually makes me shudder to consider.

Summary? Kick-ass fridge for the money and if you have Prime, pay the $4 to overnight it just so you can tell your friends you overnighted a FRIDGE for FOUR FREAKING DOLLARS. Then slam back a cold one for emphasis.

We purchased this refrigerator for our outside entertainment bar because of its size and energy efficiency rating. So far we are very satisfied. It is a quiet and maintains internal temperature keeping everything nice and cold. There are plenty of shelving options as they are all adjustable. The door has 10 can holder slots for beer or soda and also has adjustable shelves for bottles of soda or wine. There is a drawer on the bottom perfect for storing garnishes, cheeses or meats. There is plenty of room in the rest of the fridge to fill as you please. The door really is spot resistent, we are not constantly cleaning it! This was a great purchase; we highly recommend this item.

I had my Danby less than 24 hours before the problems started. I had the thermostat set at slightly more than half (probably 6/10) for the first night it was in use. The next day, I discovered that all of my 6 (expensive!) bottled beers on the bottom shelf (above crisper drawer) had frozen, and 3 of them had burst causing beer to go everywhere! Checked the rest of the beverages in the fridge to see if they were also close to bursting, but found those in the middle & top shelves not even beginning to freeze.

After this fiasco, I set the thermostat to about a third of the way up (probably 3/10) so as not to have a repeat incident. After another 6 hours, the stuff on the bottom did not freeze, but was very cold (great!). However, the items on the top shelf were barely even cool to the touch (not great). I proceeded to do a little test with a refrigeration thermometer leaving the thermostat at about one-third. After 30 minutes, the bottom shelf read 37 degrees. I moved it to the top shelf and waited another 30 minutes, and found it showing 54 degrees! A 17 degree difference between top and bottom!!! Not to mention that 37 degrees is WAY too cold especially when the thermostat dial is set so low.

So it seems that I am experiencing the same inconsistent cooling that at least 2 other reviewers are having. Amazon was great about setting up a replacement delivery & pickup. I am willing to try a replacement before calling this fridge a total failure. The replacement is set to arrive tomorrow, so I'll post an update in a few days. Wish me luck!

UPDATE: Received a replacement, and it had the same EXACT issue!!! Started it off with the thermostat at the midway point (most manufacturers recommend this setting), and placed identical thermometers on the top and bottom shelves. After one hour, the top read 55 degrees, and the bottom was at 30!!!! I am willing to accept a few degrees difference, maybe even as much as 6 or 7 tops, but 15 degrees is ridiculous. I would have to accept the top being at nearly 60 just to keep the lower half above freezing. Am sending this one back also (UPS is gonna hate me tomorrow), and am getting the Haier 4.5cu ft one instead. Fingers crossed...

I bought this fridge to make my own mini-kegerator. There are plans on a few sites on the web for this model. After modding, I can fit two 5-gallon kegs, and a C02 tank tight in there. The fridge came as expected, and looks pretty nice. The temp control isn't anything fancy, but not sure what you'd expect on a less expensive mini-fridge.

If you do decide to mod it, you must take care not to hit a coolant line!

Also, I used the cheap overnight shipping option on this using my amazon prime. So worth it. I've read other people may have had problems with shipping damage using ground shipping, but that was not the case for me.

Kenmore Kitchenaid Air Flow Diffuser 2209751

• Kenmore KitchenAid air flow diffuser 2209751

This item was an exact match for my existing KitchenAid fridge diffuser. The plugs and connectors were identical and it installed quickly with minimal fuss. This part appears to be OEM based on the packaging. The price for this item was better than any other on the web. I was able to replace this part in less time than waiting on a service call and for a fraction of the price as other vendors. It was another great Amazon experience thanks to this excellent vendor.

Samsung RFG296HDRS 29 Cu. Ft. Stainless Steel French Door Refrigerator - Energy Star</nos

• RFG296HDRS

One week into ownership...

I went into a giant appliance retailer to purchase an advertised RFG297..., and was baited, and switched, to the RFG296 (because I'm not sure I can get that one, there is only one left.) The sales lady was extremely nice, and good at her craft, but did work me over a bit by showing me a unit with a Cool Pantry and skinny ice maker, then handing me literature that said the cool pantry wasn't included in mine (on page 3 in small print.)

All that said... I have a food thermometer in the fridge and it is keeping the temp steady as advertised on the digital display. Seals are good. Water is tasty. Workmanship seems solid. It's cold, quiet, and beautiful.

I have minor complaints that seem fixable by the design engineer's.

1. No egg tray? Come on Samsung, don't you realize Americans keep eggs in the fridge? And no place to put the carton except on the main shelves. The cartons don't fit in the doors. (Hence, provide me a 3x4 egg tray in the door instead.) Easy Fix. (I'll buy 3x4 egg trays when I can find ones under $20.00.)

2. LOUD when the ice falls into the ice maker. Not a big deal as the ice trays are rarely empty, but when they are, it's crashing loud. (The fridge itself is very quiet.)

3. You have to hold your cup under the water dispenser for an extra second or two after you shut it off or water drips out and onto the door. Easy to get used too, annoying that I have to.

4. This is more of a requested feature than a design flaw: Why didn't you design the water dispenser to allow for a pitcher to be left there to fill up unattended?

5. Edited: 6/28/12: The doors don't swing shut easily. I'm sure this can be improved. With many units I've owned, a little push and the door closed on its own. With this one, a little push won't cut it. Again, minor issue, but notable.

Overall, I really like the unit, and as you know, it looks great. I recommend it. I had to buy because I had my old one break down, so I wasn't as careful as I usually am, and therefore got surprised by the missing features. Pay attention to model #'s and features, and I believe you'll be happy with your purchase. I'll update this review if anything changes performance or quality wise.

Primo Water Floor Model Water Cooler

Primo was very quick about shipping. I recieved my cooler in 4 days. The cooler is not heavy; easy to unpack. I was able to unload the cooler and set up quickly without any help. The cooler will fit in to any decor. It really has a nice sleek look. I was surprised to read the review of a noisy cooler. My cooler runs very quietly. Other than when we first started it up, we don't hear the compressor, no rattles. We have ours set up in the kitchen on a good thick vinyl floor. Perhaps there is enough cushion to keep any vibrations to a minimum. The safety button for the hot water is definitely a plus. Especially if you have small children. The hot water comes out nice & hot; makes a great & quick cup of tea or hot cocoa. I have to admit, I wish the cold water was colder. Using a good pH meter with temp guage, we are getting water temps of 58 60 degrees. Perhaps that is standard but I like my cold water colder. Still its nice to have a head start on a nice cold glass of lemonade. Dispense water, add lemonade mix or squeezed lemons...and throw in a few ice cubes. I didn't notice right a way, but a day after set up, I discovered my Primo cooler has a defect along the front right side. There is a slight gap where the right side does not line up & hook up with the front panel. The other/left side fits nice and snug to the front panel. I'm sure I could send it back, but I just don't have the time right now to pack & ship. Besides it works fine and I don't believe this causes any problems other than cosmetic appearance. Also, I enjoy Primo water and found it can be purchased at our K-mart at about $13 for water in the special primo jug.

I have had this for a couple weeks now, it came really fast 2 or 3 days I think, the other primo cooler had really good reviews which is why I got this one, and liked that the controls were on top of the cooler bc they were more out of reach for toddlers, and it looks nice. Now the bad, it is noisy whenever the heater compressor is running (which is about every 10-20min it seems) there is a annoying rattling that I can hear in the next room for about a minute at a time, but it is quite distracting. Also the water has been getting a "rubber" like taste. I have cleaned it out well as they reccommended and it helped some, seems to be getting better over time. I have called Primo 1-800# and you get a real person right away who is willing to go over her checklist of solutions to these problems, they reccommended I unplug it overnight and call if the noise doesnt get better but that it is normal for the compressor to be heard.

Got this little unit for under 100 bucks at Lowe's and it works just fine. We don't use the hot water dispenser in any of the water coolers we have had, so no comment on the safety issue someone wrote up on. It is quiet, more than the new refrigerator we have, has a night light on it, and the water actually seems colder than the whirlpool model we previously had. Here are some things to consider when purchasing a water cooler. 1. place unit upright for at least 2hrs prior to turning it on. If you had this unit in a laying down position (which you will have to get it home), the oil in the compressor will not be where it needs to be for the unit to work right. You can actually damage the compressor with oil starvation by not doing this important step. 2. Look for simplicity. The more expensive unit we previously had developed problems in less than two years. It was a whirlpool that was just a tad bigger an heavier, the problem was that after any pwr interruptions it had to be manually turned back on by the touch pad press button. Now that doesn't seem to be a big deal for most people, but the water wont be cold unless you remember to turn it back on after a pwr outage, circuit breaker being turned off or even if the unit gets unplugged for some reason. Then for whatever reason it didn't want to respond to you pushing the on button on the pad press. Soooo after calling the customer service number on the unit, they told me to buy a new one. forget that noise. I ended up spending an hour or more with a volt meter and dis-assembled the unit to see if i could find the problem. after pulling wires off of the circuit board and re connecting them i pwred up the unit and got it to pwr up the compressor. I had to do this for two more years and finally that fix wouldn't work anymore. This Primo unit has 3 switches on the back, one for cold, one for hot and one for the night light. if a pwr outage occurs, when the pwr is restored, it kicks back on and cools or heats your water. Simplicity is best. 3. Top feeders are better than bottom feeders....this is more or less a true statement about anything in our world. The top feeder uses gravity to get every drop out of the water bottle, the in-cabinet types that you can store water jugs in the bottom shelf require a pump to "pump" water out and up. These pumps will fail long before the compressor does. I guarantee it. plus they don't remove all the water. 4. Bad taste from water..., if you are buying a primo sealed water container to place in your new water dispenser, the first thing you do is empty the container in the parking lot after spending 11-19 dollars on you new water bottle. The water that is used in these contains buffers for long term storage purposes and tastes like garbage. dump it out and refill from a culligan/primo water dispenser at Wal-mart or any other store that dispenses filtered water. The primo bottles will have a white plastic cap on the bottom of the bigger blue cap that allows you to turn it upside down without spilling it. Someone complained about not being able to keep water from spilling out when installing these, you simply have to remove the big water cap just before you refill (and the unit is empty of course), and shake out the smaller white plastic cap and pop it back on the bottom of the blue cap. The center probe on the water dispenser at home will pop this off when you place the water bottle on the top of the dispenser. Then drain out about 32 oz of water from your cold water side, and do the same with the hot water side, but wait for about an hour for it to cool and heat the water first. this will remove any residual tastes from the system. You only have to do this last step the very first time you use this unit. I think that covers it.

I'm so glad that I used primo for a couple weeks after I saw it sold fresh, pure water at walmart. Their 2 gallon jug fantastic plastic number 3 the most poisonous one!!! Good thing I used it to give my kid his helping dose of PVC and Phthalates.

It's a bonus. You get pure water with a little poison mixed in.

Thanks, Primo, you assshats.

Rusco Spin Down Separator Sand / Sediment Water Filter 50 GPM - PWFSS15

I wanted a clear housing grit filter and could not find it anywhere. Amazon to the rescue. While I would have preferred the inlet and outlets to have been smaller, I bushed them down to 3/4 and the unit works great. Just what i needed, when i needed it and priced right.

I have had it for two years now and it easily solved the grit problems I was having. If valved properly on the install, cleaning the screen is a snap. My faucet cartridges and fill valves have needed NO attention at all since this install. I flush it every month or so and clean the screen quarterly. I put some "O" ring lube before I re-assemble and only hand tight.

After going thru numerous fabric filters that couldn't keep up, our water tech installed one of these to combat heavy sediment, sand and even large specs of iron in our well water. He installed a timer to allow it to auto purge a couple of times each day. This original filter has lasted and worked well for over 12 years saving untold damage to our downstream water softener. About once a year, I remove and manually clean the filter to extract any sediment that gets locked in the mesh. When the $ 500 timer failed, I replaced it with a $ 50 water bird irrigation timer that has worked flawlessly for 5 years. Very happy with and dependent on this tool.

This filter system is easy to install and easy to use. We just turn the bottom and empty the sediment into a bucket. My only problem is the filter. It doesn't stop small sediment very well and we needed to replace the filter after just 3 months. I expected it to last 6 months at least.

If you have moderate to heavy sediment, this is not for you. In fact, if you can spell sediment this is not for you. The idea behind the unit is great, but unfortunately it doesn't work. Sediment filtration is poor at best and the material that passes as a filter can easily come unglued decreasing the units limited effectiveness. As a $19.99 TV special, with 3 extra thrown in for those who order in the next 30 minutes, I might say give it a try, if only as a lesson not to believe everything you see on the box.

With filter systems that actually work starting around $35, this $53 price tag is ridiculous. So, if you still decide to buy one, buy mine. Slightly used and definitely broken

NewAir AW-211ED Streamline 21 Bottle Dual Zone Thermoelectric Wine Cooler, Stainless Steel

• Designed with six slide-out wood wine racks for a unique look that allows you to easily access your wine collection
• Features digital controls, which allow you to adjust the temperature to ensure your wine is stored correctly
• Convenient dual zone system allows you to store up to 21 bottles of wine at their optimum temperature
• Offers a unique stainless steel door trim design & sleek silver handle to flatter any deco

First unit arrived with broken buttons. Since they are inside the door, it suggests this was a quality control issue and not a shipping issue. Returned with free shipping.

Second unit lasted 4 months before bottom portion stopped keeping temperature, instead drifting to coolest temp possible. Returned and paid for shipping.

Third unit lasted 6 months before bottom portion stopped keeping temperature, instead drifting to coolest temp possible. Air & Water says they only do warranty repairs within 12 months of original purchase date. While I have only had this unit 6 months their offer to me a measly 12% off the purchase of a NEW unit.

These guys are selling cheap junk and they know it. This wine cooler is not built to last. Don't waste your time with this cooler or Air & Water.

I've had this unit about 2 years. The bottom portion has quit working and sits at room temperature. It was a free replacement of an earlier NewAir product that also quit working after about 14 months. To their credit, NewAir made the swap even though the unit was out of warranty. I've been trying to figure out whether I've been unlucky or this is pretty much the normal expectation for units like this. Another reviewer here had worse luck than me, and some discussions on low-cost wine coolers like this suggest that they really don't last long. One site says, "most wine refrigerators are notoriously unreliable, you'll be lucky if it lasts 5 years much less 10."

I'm a bit puzzled by this, I have a small compressor-driver refrigerator (not for wine) running constantly and very quietly for 7 years with no issues. The thermoelectric units with no moving parts (except the fan) is billed as more energy efficient, lower in vibration and with less to go wrong, except they seem to go wrong rather frequently. They both went bad in the summer, when temps inside the house can rise to over 80 degrees F. That may be the issue right there, it may be just too much temperature difference for the unit. Another site advises, "thermoelectric coolers are limited in that they can generally only produce temperatures about 20°F lower than the temperature outside the unit. Compressor-based cooling does not have the same limitation." I had this unit installed in a small alcove in my pantry with a fan than constantly exhausts the heat to the outside.

Specific beef about this model; you have to pull out the bottle rack to remove a bottle. You can't do that unless you swing the door open very wide, a drawback if your space is restricted.

The real question is, should you be bothering to buy a product like this at all if you aren't willing to replace it every couple of years?

This dual zone wine fridge is perfect for apartment living. It is compact enough to fit in a limited space but provides enough slots in the racks for 1.5 cases of wine. The only glitch keeping it from 5 stars is the difficulty getting fat bottomed wine bottles into and out of the racks. You have to pull the bottle forward before trying to slide the rack out to take a bottle out and you have to pull the rack out to put a bottle in.

The only reason I gave it 4 stars was that the storage area for the white wine bottles is too small for the larger chardonnay bottle formats.
