Buy Whirlpool 833697 Refrigerator Condenser Motor Now
This item is NOT by Whirlpool as shown in the listing for this item. It is recommended that you clarify the part manufacturer before ordering. I questioned the source of this fan motore and Home Appliance Part attempted to reassure me that this was indeeed an authorized Whirlpool part. I disagreed with their comment and have requested return of the item. They have authorized my return and reimbursement for the part. I therefore cannot judge the quality of this part and leave it at one star.Home Appliance Part earns 5 stars for their prompt responses to my questions and to my request to return the item for credit.

AquaFresh Replacement Refrigerator Filter for Frigidaire (RC200/WFCB, RG100/WF1CB), 3-Pack
Buy AquaFresh Replacement Refrigerator Filter for Frigidaire (RC200/WFCB, RG100/WF1CB), 3-Pack Now
We were spending too much on a fridge filter and this price attracted our attention! The filter itself seems to be the same as the Fridgidaire brand and now we can change it more often... So nice to have fresh clean taste again!These filters work very well and great price if I had gotten these from any where else the price would have been much higher.Not sure how to rate this. They fit in my fridge and filter my water. So I guess it is fine.Thursday, February 20, 2014
Haier HBF05EBSS Draft Beer Dispenser
- Complete American Sankey Tap System that Holds 1/2, 1/4 & Mini Barrel Kegs
- Adjustable Thermostat
- Chrome Beer Tower & Guardrail, so you won't fall off
- Heavy Duty Worktop & Cabinet
- Decorative Stainless Steel Door with Black Cabinet
Be prepared: After it's set up and you've had people over, you're going to be QUITE popular! Expect comments like "I'm going to be over at your place every afternoon." Haier America should realize their best marketing ploy is satisfied customers. I've had it two weeks and Haier may be selling 3 additional units soon.
OK, so what about the product rating, especially in light of all the negative comments provided earlier? Well, here's my take on it:
Set up was fairly simple, if you discount the fact that one part was missing (see below).
Quality seems to be adequate. They use quality parts, e.g., the CO2 regulator and dispensing valve.
It's keeping my second (post party) keg perfectly chilled and pressurized. (Since the first keg only lasted several hours, we can't base much judgement on that.)
It's wonderful to come home to a fresh, draft beer!
Finding a place to refill the CO2 canister can be difficult. Most commercial places will only exchange (take your brand new canister and give you a used, filled canister). I finally found a fire extinguisher service that does refills after making MANY calls.
Does this make it perfect? Hardly.
My experience confirms that Haier America has poor customer service. I purcased the unit a week in advance of a party I was hosting. After getting it home and setting it up, I realized (according to the manual) that it was missing the washer that goes between the CO2 tank and the regulator. I called Haier customer service the following morning and was shocked by how they treated me. The basic tone of their response was "tough luck." I would have to follow their procedures which were: 1) fax or send via US mail my purchase receipt 2) Allow them two business days from their receipt of this to get back to me 3) After doing a 'confirmation' they would send me the washer within two weeks.
I was irate and told them so! I had purchased the unit specifically for my upcoming party and now would not be able to use it! Their reponse: "These are our procedures."
I did two things after this:
1) I located the manufacturer of the CO2 regulator and contacted them about the possibility of getting a washer. They informed me that the regulator was redesigned and did not need a washer. Haier was supposed to include an update with their user manual (they didn't, and customer service obviously wasn't aware of this change).
2) I located information on Haier America and faxed their CEO an scathing letter telling him what I thought about spending $500 for something and not being able to use it at the function I bought it for! Lo and behold, the next day I received a call from their corporate offices saying they would be overnighting me the missing washer. I explained I had learned it wasn't needed, but the woman calling me wasn't taking any chances. She overnighted it to me anyway. Moral of the story: Make your voice heard when you recieve bad service.
Anyway, my 'washerless' set up is now working fine and I'm loving the unit.
Buy Haier HBF05EBSS Draft Beer Dispenser Now
As the other reviewers have stated, the dispenser freezes in the back and does not thaw, nor does the temperature of the dispenser work correctly, mine runs warm even at the highest setting. Although customer service will document your call in Ottawa, their corporate office in New York will not return my call. The three repair numbers customer service gave me did no good as I was also told by one repair person that Haier does not reimburse the repairs and as a result they will not come out to my home. Customer service told me twice that they have recommended to the corporate office to replace my unit, but of the five to six calls I have placed over the past two months, I have not received any calls that any progress or action will be taken. I have been trying to get my dispenser serviced since September.Read Best Reviews of Haier HBF05EBSS Draft Beer Dispenser Here
Overall, as far as the product goes, I have to say I'm quite happy with the beer dispenser. No problems with the temperature adjustment (but then, I'm not trying to keep my beer at 34 degrees), it pours nicely, the components seem to be high quality aside from the plastic hose clamps for the CO2 line, but those were easy to replace with metal ones at the hardware store.However, I have to agree with the other reviewers, Haier's customer service is...challenging. My wife bought me the dispenser for Christmas (that's true love). She had it delivered to a neighbor's house so I wouldn't suspect anything. On December 26, I went to retrieve the box and set it up in my basement. Upon opening the unit, I discovered that a significant number of parts were missing LIKE THE ENTIRE CO2 SYSTEM, TAP, AND KEG CONNECTION. Basically I had a $600 mini-fridge. You'd think someone in shipping might notice that the box was 25 pound light, but, whatever.
I called Haier, and they were fairly helpful at first. They told me I should fax a list of the missing parts along with my proof of purchase, which I did. They then told me it would be a couple days to "validate" my claim, a couple days to process the order, and then two weeks for the parts to arrive. I called back every few days to see how things were going, and it was easy to get a real person on the phone each time, but these people weren't able to offer much information.
Apparently, Haier's parts warehouse is located on the dark side of the moon, because it was impossible for customer service to tell me when or how the parts would be shipping. No way to get a tracking number, no way to know if the parts were in stock, nothing. So, I waited patiently for three weeks. When the parts didn't show up, I called back and, surprise, they couldn't tell me what happened. I talked to a supervisor at Haier, and she told me the same thing. She started to resubmit the order, but several parts were now showing up as backordered on her screen, with no ETA available.
At this point, I was done with Haier. I called Amazon and explained my situation, and I said I wanted to get an exchange or a refund. At first, I was told to "contact the manufacturer." When I explained that I'd been doing that for the past month with no luck, they agreed to exchange it, no problem. They also said I wasn't the only one this happened to. Within two days, a replacement was on its way, and I had a tracking number. Thank you, Amazon.
So, I didn't have tap beer for Christmas, or New Year's, or my birthday, but I've got it for the Super Bowl, and it's good.

The place I get my kegs from gave me the right washer so I have not had any problems on that side whatsoever.This was an impulse buy for me. Sure I did some research then one Saturday I was having a party and went and picked this up at the local Brandsmart. Beer would come out cold, not as cold as I'd like but not too warm. One thing I learned right away, you have to let the keg sit overnight before tapping inside the cooler. I'm new to this, so I did not know the pitfalls of tapping a warm keg. I came on here and read some of the reviews. It was not until about a month later that the temperature issue became a problem. I hesitated but took a previous poster's advice and now the beer is as cold as I like. I recommenc going for a half to 3/4 turn on the screw as opposed to a full one. You dont want the thing to run so much that it burns out. I would find it odd how the cooler would cycle on for about 5 minutes then off for 20. Now its on for 20-30 and off for the same. Nonetheless, my Michelob Light has never tasted better. I have not had to deal with Haier directly and from the looks of it, I hope I wont have to. This unit is a good value. Once you get past the temperature issue, you cant ask for a better deal. Both the tap and faucet are good quality as well as he Co2 tank. I recommend you get a better regulator with the "mickey mouse ears". One to tell you the pressure and the other how much gas is left in the tank. .
Yes I recommend this.DON'T BUY ONE!!! the worst customer service! they lie to you and tell you everything is going to be fixed. no response back even after about 10 phone calls over 1 month. Doesn't keep beer cold enough. the electrical plug in to the compressor shorted out and would not work, got the run around from haier customer service,(sounded good, don't believe it.)called the new york coporate office got sorry that's the warranty and will have to pay for the service tech. very dissatisfied with the QUOTE " BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE THEY ADVERTISE!" I hope everone boycots haier products.

Samsung DMT400RHS 400 24" Stainless Steel Fully Integrated Dishwasher - Energy Star</nosc
- Virtually Noiseless
- Unique Leakage Sensor
- Adjustable Upper Rack
- Dimensions (WHD): 23 7/8" X 33 7/8" - 35 7/8" X 25"
A couple of things to note. First, there is a bit of learning curve to loading this thing. The racks are laid out a bit differently than our old washer so I have to think about how I'm putting stuff in. No real problem as there is a lot of room. The upper rack is a bit different as it is "tiered", has four rows and each is a bit different in height. Short glasses on the left and progressively taller ones to the right. The top rack also has some plastic holders for stemware. Nice touch there. Hmmm, is it Score 3 for Samsung? The dinnerware holders are a bit different too. They have lids with cutouts so you place your knives and forks in them or not. You can flip the top up for stuff that won't fit the holes. Another thing that takes some getting accustomed to is the wash times. I think all these new dishwashers take a long time to go through their cycles. I believe that it's due to their low water consumption. Whatever, don't expect to put your dishes in and turn it on and be ready in an hour. Think the was times are closer to 2 or 2.5 hrs. Doesn't really matter as we usually run it before bed time. Something that will also take some getting used to is the rinse aid bin. Now we've always used the 3-in-1 dishwashing tabs (yes, they fit in the detergent bin) that include the rinse aid but the Samsung has a separate bin to put liquid rinse aid in. I've used the same tabs and they seem to work fine but the indicators on the top lid show a "low rinse aid" if the bin is empty. Hmmmm, don't want to burn out the light but do I really need to add a liquid rinse aid if I'm using the 3-in-1 tabs?????? Lastly, my concern about not getting the delay start......no problem. This thing is quiet, I mean really quiet. There is no "whoooooooooossssssssh" or "clank" or "bonk". Used to be you couldn't have a normal conversation in the kitchen with the old dishwasher now you could put a sleeping baby in crib next to the Samsung and not wake'em up. Sweet.
As you can tell, I heartily recommend the Samsung DMT400RHS. It looks great (buy some stainless steel wipes to keep it that way), it's super quiet, it cleans great, good feature set, and it was at the right price. There are two more Samsung dishwashers, one above this one (DMT 800) and one below (DMT 300) that you might consider depending on features and price. Additionally, the DMT400 comes in black or white and both are a bit cheaper than the stainless steel. You won't go wrong with this one. Cheers

Update. Everything is working great. The Samsung is still quiet and we are learning a bit more about loading. One thing I have learned is not to load large plates on the bottom rack below the detergent dispenser. We have a set of plates that are square and quiet large. Made the mistake of loading them on the lower left side front right below the detergent dispenser. After the wash was finished I opened the door and the dispenser flap popped open and out came a slightly used washing tab. The large plate had interfered with the dispenser opening properly. Oh well, adjusted the load so that smaller plates were left front and ran the wash again. Problem solved. Other than that, everything is fine. The Samsung still is very quiet, especially when running a full load. A bit more noise when half full or loaded with some large glass bowls. Funny, but when I first started looking for a new dishwasher I thought that Bosch was great. You know how when you go back to the Amazon page they list all kinds of stuff in the same category that you have been looking at and they listed a couple of Bosch dishwashers. Well, just checked them out and was surprised when I checked some reviews of similarly priced models to the Samsung and there were complaints regarding build quality ie the stainless steel interior being flimsy. No complaints here. The Samsung has a great build both inside and out. I haven't tried any of the wash cycles other than auto and sanitize so I can't comment on that. Might have to check them out. Anyway, I'm loving the Samsung. I'll turn it on at night and head to bed and TELL my wife that the dishwasher is on :).
One of the things I love about Amazon are the reviews so I try and add to them hoping that it will help someone else make a good decision. If anyone has any questions/comments, send 'em and I'll answer. Kind of surprised that nobody else has reviewed this model. Kinda lonely being the "one".UPDATE: 10 months after purchase, the dishwasher stopped working. After waiting two weeks for a Samsung technician, he was unable to fix it, claiming he had the wrong part. To Samsung's credit, they called me the next day and offered to refund me my total purchase price for the appliance, which I accepted. I guess the moral is that this isn't the most reliable dishwasher on the market, but Samsung stood by their product, at least during the warranty period, and made me whole for my purchase.
We researched dishwashers to replace a Bosch dishwasher that had recently gone to dishwasher heaven. We had consistent trouble with the Bosch electronics which kept going bad, so we avoided them even though they are recommended in many reviews as the best, including Consumer Reports. We kept coming back to the Samsung DMT800 and 400 and finally settled on the 400. The biggest difference we could see was that the 800 had a delayed start feature which we knew we'd never use.
This dishwasher gets everything squeaky clean, and we do absolutely no pre-rinsing of our dishes. The Samsung is so quiet that you honestly can't tell that it's running! The ergonomics of the unit are beautiful, with the controls on top of the door so the lines on the front of the dishwasher are only broken by the curved handle and three inconspicuous blue LEDs that track the progress of the wash.
I have only one minor complaint and one warning. The complaint is that there is no indicator to show that the dishwasher is finished and contains clean dishes. Consider this scenario. I turn the dishwasher on before I leave the house. My wife comes home later in the afternoon and has no way of knowing that the wash inside the unit contains clean dishes. Not a biggee, but it would be nice to have something that showed the cycle has completed.
The warning is that this dishwasher is just a tad deeper than other dishwashers. Be careful that you measure accurately and that you have sufficient depth for the Samsung. We needed to take down the sheetrock behind the unit to gain the extra quarter inch we needed.
All in all, it looks like we made a wise choice. I wouldn't recommend Bosch due to our experience with repairs, and after the first 3 weeks, the Samsung seems to have been a wise choice.
UPDATE: We've owned this dishwasher now for a few months and still love it. One correction to the lack of a completion indicator I made above. If you choose "Sanitize", that light will remain on after the cycle to show that the dishes inside are clean. The right-most blue indicator on the front of the door that is actually is programmed to show that the load is completed goes off after 20 minutes. We choose Sanitize for all of our wash loads and it is how we tell whether the dishes inside are clean. The light will go off once the door is opened to empty the dishwasher and not come on again until the next cycle.I'm assuming mine is an earlier version of this one. It looks just like it except I don't have the pretty lights on the front (bummer). It certainly looks beautiful but it does have pluses & minuses.
Pluses: love the adjustable racks and open spaces for large items; like the "bins" on the silverware holder so I can put small items in it & close the lid and not have them end up on the floor of the unit (to credit it I've never had a single item end up on the floor of the machine); nice heavy duty stainless interior; quiet operation (although it seems louder now than when I purchased it about 1.5 yrs ago, this may just be because the transition from my old machine was so noticeable, whereas, now I'm used to this one); unlike others, I love the way it dries, nothing warps or melts, it's great; and it generally cleans well.
Minuses: I don't know if it is the way my Pfaltzgraf dishes are made but they don't fit in the unit as well as in my old GE, the plates and bowls only stand up well on the rear rack/row of the machine, on the front side they roll out of position and then lean forward; similar problem with the glasses & cups, they only fit well on the first/outside rack, when I put them on the second row I have to hook them on prongs to fit them at all and then they are sort of staggered so it doesn't hold as many as it could; I have had issues with the silverware not always looking pristine (albeit, I do not load them the way they showed in the owner's manual, that would have required a lot of memorization or getting out the diagram every time I wanted to load the dishwasher since the order was not intuitive), when it happens it's only a couple of pieces and I'm guessing it's because of the way it was loaded so pilot error; I have also had where the soap did not dispense correctly on a couple of occasions I opened the door and the soap was globbed all around the dispenser, I do not know what caused this issue, I guessed maybe putting too much soap in, but I really don't know, I cleaned it up (the stainless interior cleans beautifully, btw) and re-ran it, a little aggravating, but again, I'm guessing it was something I did, not the machine.
Overall, it looks great and cleans well enough but I'm not happy with how the dishes fit. My recommendation is to take your dishes into a showroom and test fit them before you make a purchase (hard to do on Amazon, lol), that's what I'm going to do if I ever have to buy another dishwasher. The salesman may think you're crazy but if it causes you to switch choices you will be glad you did.
Update Sep 2012 I've downgraded from 3 to 2 stars. I had some weird sensor message like E9 and the machine wouldn't work at all. I had to get a tech out, who then had to order a part and come back and install it. I had my old cheapy GE for almost 25 years and it never broke down. It even still worked when we replaced it so I'm extremely disappointed to have this one break down after less than 2 years.
Update March 2013 I'm downgrading this again. I'm sick and tired of having to rewash dishes that this machine doesn't clean. I realize rings dried on my mugs from tea are more difficult to clean but my old cheap dishwasher managed, this one doesn't. I went without this machine for months while I waited for it to be fixed, and truthfully handwashing the dishes wasn't much different than using this dishwasher because I have so much prewash prep to do. I have to make sure there are no rings or debris on anything before I put it in or I have to do it by hand afterwards anyway. I've made certain all of my silverware had a space between it and the next piece for a long time, and even then, if it had been used to slice a banana or for peanut butter the chances were it would need to be rewashed, and this was after washing for 3 hrs and 2 mins (I rarely ever use the regular wash which is 2 hrs 14 mins because it washes so poorly I figure it needs all the help it can get), so now I wipe my silverware before I put it in as well!I told myself that I would take the time to write a review since I rely on them so heavily in my own decision making process. I am slowly becoming a fan of all things Samsung, TVs, washer and dryer and now dishwasher! This machine is sleek looking and VERY quiet. I like the hidden buttons and the blue lights. It seems to have enough space and the 'normal' wash cycle only takes 2 hours start-to-finish (our old Kenmore took 3). I am, though, still trying to figure-out the best way to load the dishes as the rack and prongs are different than our old machine.
Bottom Line: A solid machine for the $!We've tried everything. We've loaded it differently. We've loaded it with plenty of space between the dishes and utensils. We've loaded it with an OCD meticulousness such that each plate was equidistant from the next. We've used more detergent, less detergent, different detergent -liquids, solids, gels, capsules. We tried different cycles (NORMAL, HEAVY, SMART AUTO)...
So what did we finally try that actually got the dishes clean?
I washed them by hand in very hot soapy water, then carefully placed them into this Samsung to let them drip dry.
Bottom line: This machine doesn't clean dishes very well. Which is unfortunate, see, because my wife and I were hoping it would be a *dishwasher.* In much the same way that we expect our toaster to, you know, TOAST. We assumed that a machine called a DISH-WASHER would do something like WASH DISHES. This machine *does* do an excellent job of baking tiny bits of food and grit into all the surfaces of dishes and glasses. (Can you sense my hostility? That's because when the *brand new* machine didn't get dishes spotlessly clean, I assumed it was because my wife had let our 4-year-old load it or something. Nope. This thing is flat-out terrible.)
Buy something else.
