LG 24.9 Cu. Ft. White Freestanding French Door Refrigerator - LFC25765SW

LG 24.9 Cu. Ft. White Freestanding French Door Refrigerator - LFC25765SW
  • Spill Protector Glass Shelves
  • Humidity Crispers
  • Glide N' Serve Drawer
  • LED Interior Lights

We bought this refrigerator 6 years ago. First the light stayed on and melted the cover. Now the freezer is not working. LG repair came out and replaced the motherboard to fix the lights and thought it would also fix the freezer. It did not. We are still waiting on repair, but will probably end up replacing it but not with another LG product. Major appliances that cost 1700 should last more than 6 years.

Select Refrigerator Water Filter

Select Refrigerator Water Filter
  • The Replacement Filter fits all refrigerators that use the Samsung Aqua-Pure Plus DA29-00003B water filter.
  • Retains the flouride in drinking water. Filters out chlorine, turbidity, sediment, dirt, and rust

I specifically bought this item because I currently have a B and I wanted to stick with the B. However, what I received was a G. While maybe some people think that's a good thing, I intentionally ordered the B. The filter is different (water looks cloudy but my husband swears it's just bubbles) than what I experienced with a B.

Well, it's a good product but it doesn't last long. None of them do, so....

This filer for some unknown reason is expensive and the taste of water is so bad my family totally quit drinking from it and using the ice it makes.It removes the taste of clorine but no matter how much you drain after fresh replacement, it still has a bad taste/odor to it. As it the water has passed through a tunnel of mould. I bought exact same one from Lowe's for $29.00 and it had the same ugly taste. I figured that was bad and wanted to try this one which was more expensive. I am going to contact Samsung and find out what the deal is. I am suspecting there are more unsatisfied customers out there in the wild.

This item is on my repeat order list for Amazon, and I'm on my fourth filter. The price is right, and Amazon always ships on time. I replace my filter every 6-9 months, and they do a great job of removing the excessive chlorine that our water district pumps into our water. Easy to install, I have no idea why people are complaining; thankfully I have been saving money buying this on Amazon.

Maytag Dryer Lint Catcher Filter Screen 37001142

Maytag Dryer Lint Catcher Filter Screen 37001142The lint filter is a match for my Maytag Dryer. Did not come with the felt liner. Haven't determined if that is a good thing or not.

Fits my Admiral Dryer perfectly!! My dryer is now working a lot better... drys faster...good quality. Did research online before purchasing this one...is the same model 37001142 for my Admiral.

Lint. It's everywhere but you can't necessarily see it unless it's 4PM on a sunny afternoon and your front window faces west. Shafts of light stream through that window to reveal that lint is everywhere. To use a word I learned in college, lint is ubiquitously everywhere all over the house redundantly covering already linted clothes. EXCEPT now, in the dryer, where a new lint filter has been installed and has effectively removed lint while my clothes dry in what they call the tumbling doom hell of heat and noise. The clothes are happier afterwards but still complain about the process. Anyway, the dryer is years old and yet Maytag still has a filter that fits perfectly and does the job. Dog hair. It's everywhere.......

Needed a replacement badly. Saw this online at Amazon and ordered it right away. Really wasn't too sure it would work. As usual it came right on time and dropped right in. Fit is perfect, product does everything it is supposed to. Our old Maytag Dryer is a high capacity beast, and dries cloths really well. Not quite ready to replace the old boy yet.

We had been struggling with an old filter which had been falling apart for a long time. We have not had a lot of success ordering parts online but the old filter was so bad we had to do something so we ordered. The filter fits perfectly and it is so nice to know that when do the laundry we no longer have to struggle with the old filter!

GreenFilter compatible with Samsung Refrigerator Water Filter DA29-00003A DA29-00003B DA29-00003G H

GreenFilter compatible with Samsung Refrigerator Water Filter DA29-00003A DA29-00003B DA29-00003G HAFCU1This product is not a replacement for Samsung DA29-0003G filter. I tried to install it in my refrigerator and it didn't fit. Had to return it.

This filter is a bit thinner and longer than the one I normally buy from Sears, so I had to remove a shelf in order to get it installed. The actual part at the top that twists into the filter holder fits as it needs to and there are no leaks.

I haven't had this filter long enough to make a more refined judgement. It's larger than the OEM version but that wasn't a major issue as I just had to remove a shelf to install it. The locking mechanism is not identical to the OEM's but it did install and "click" into place with no leaks. The fact that the unit had absolutely zero external markings or labels and that no water analysis certificate accompanied the unit does not instill confidence. I did notice it took quite a bit more than the usual number of glasses to purge all of the air. My concern is this is may be some cheap piece of you-know-what made in China with who-knows-what on the inside. For all I know it's adding contaminants to the water what with China being a paragon of environmental virtue. Having said that the water tastes fine but then so does the water from my tap.

I ordered this to replace my year old fridge OE model. Much cheaper than the brand name and was easy to replace.

Brita MYRF-100 Refrigerator Replacement Filter

Brita MYRF-100 Refrigerator Replacement FilterEasy ordering, timely shipping, no reason not to order from here again. This model is a replacement to the Maytag original. No difference in taste or performance and it's less expensive.

We purchased these filters instead of the brand that came with the refrigerator because they are a fair amount less costly and because we've had good luck with other Brita filters in the past. Have used one of the six we ordered so far, for about a month, and the water tastes perfect just like it always has. The physical fit is a tad less tight on the fitting than the old filters, but it's got the same o-ring seal and doesn't leak. Don't know how long it will last before needing replacement again, but it should be every bit as good as the original. Recommended.

Easy to install just like the original filter, works fine, no problems and half the price. However, unable to compare the types of things the Brita filters out of the water as compared to the manufactures' original filter. Brita states on box by law it is not allowed to make the same claims as manufacture. So does it just filter out chlorine and fluoride or does it also filter lead and small particles like the Original maufactures' filter does? Who knows?

Purchased this filter as a replacement for the Maytag version. It fits perfectly, and we believe the water tastes better. I will buy this filter again.

These filters offer the same benefits that Puriclean filters because they are compatible with Maytag refrigerators, the main advantage is that they are cheaper that the original ones. It is a good option.

GE WR60X10258 Crusher Motor for Refrigerator

GE WR60X10258 Crusher Motor for RefrigeratorInstalled and works great. Glad to have ice again. Also was priced very well compared to other online stores. shipped quick.

Great price on this motor. About half $ what GE wanted. Only problem was motor holes didn't line up. Had to drill one small hole in the chassis mounting plate, but was no big deal.

Watch out for the right part number with these. My previous one was the wrong one and it didn't fit the casing 100% right so the motor froze up. This one worked the first time, and has ever since :).

Evaporator Motor for Frigidaire 5304445861, 240369701, 5303918549

Evaporator Motor for Frigidaire 5304445861, 240369701, 5303918549Our fridge stopped cooling on the top portion of the freezer side and the fridge side stopped completely. The bottom of the freezer side was still cold though. I did a little research on our fridge model and, given the symptoms and the models history, I was pretty sure that the evaporator motor was the problem. I ordered it while at work without taking the old fan out of fridge (a little risky if I was wrong.)

The new fan motor arrived "next day" which was excellent. For the past couple days we were keeping our refrigerated items in a cooler which is a pain. When you pull the milk out and everything collapses into its spot you spend several minutes just trying to put the milk back in so we did NOT want to wait to get the fridge fixed.

I had to remove about 16 screws out of the sides and back of the freezer (including removing the ice-maker which only had two screws holding it on.) That revealed the fan which was indeed not working. Here is where I had the most difficulty. There are three wires on the unit. One was the ground wire which was easy to pull off, but the disconnects for the other two wires were encased in a U shaped plastic piece. Pulling the plastic piece ended up ripping the disconnects off the old fan motor leaving them still stuck in the plastic U.

It took me several minutes to get the old parts out. I had to push the wires through the plastic U so the connectors were completely exposed, then discovered I had to use something with a sharp point and press through a tiny hole in the middle of the connector while pulling them apart before they would release. That little hole actually locks the pieces together with a little flap of metal. They should have put holes in the plastic U to make the job MUCH easier and to prevent damage to the motor connectors.

The new motor came with new male ends and some heat shrink tubing but I did not need either. The old connectors were still good. I had to pull the wires back into the plastic U and reconnect them. One caution, I had to bend the little locking flap back in on one connector before it would lock onto the new fan. Do yourself a favor and get it locked on BEFORE pulling the wires back into the U (assuming your fridge is the same as my Frigidaire). If you don't do that, you risk having a loose wire that may arc and go bad or you may be pulling the connector back off (like me) to fix the little flap, risking damage to your new motor.

The final problem I had was that there was a lot of "snow" on the top of the coils. I used a heat gun to melt the stuff from the top but I could not see the bottom of the coils because I saw no need to take that extra panel off. Big mistake. All it did was cause the snow to melt from the top, run down a ways and form a BLOCK of ICE further down. I started the freezer up without checking and the next day I was removing that "extra panel" because no air could get through the ice. It took me a few hours to melt all the ice off this time plus an extra day having to use the cooler.

Happily it is now running great! I hope this helps someone else do the job better/easier. It is an easy job to do if you watch for those pitfalls and it will save you a ton of money over paying a professional.

I have never worked on a fridge prior to today.

After doing some research on why my fridge wasn't getting cold I unplugged the fridge, removed the back panel inside the freezer and removed the shelves and brackets to access the old fan. As i suspected from my research the fan had burned out which seems to be a common occurrence. I ordered this replacement evaporator motor on Amazon for a 5 year old Frigidaire Model # FRS26LF7DSB. The price ($26.00) was less than half of what it would have cost ($60.00) on other "replacement parts" websites. I ordered the item on a Monday at 4:55 PM and had it sent overnight for an extra $20 = total of $46.00. The part arrived by 3PM on Tuesday and it took no more than 15 minutes to install. The old motor had wire connectors that could be pulled off. Once this was completed I removed the fan blade and the old motor from the motor housing and inserted the new motor and attached the fan blade. Total time thus far under 5 minutes. The new motor has the same wire connectors as the old one so I just reconnected the wires and put the housing back in the freezer and gave her a try. As soon as I plugged in the refrigerator the motor/fan came on right away. I then unplugged the fridge. Reattached the back panel and shelving brackets/shelves and was done. Total time was under 15 minutes.

If you have the same problem it is an easy and inexpensive fix.

I've never replaced an evaporator motor before, but was very pleased to find the part I needed available for Prime shipping, and with a corroborating reviewer who stated that this was great because it had all the necessary connectors to just snap in the new motor. Well, not so about the one I received. It in fact came with no wires at all (though it did come with something which might be splicing caps, though I truly don't know what they are). I cannot even test it to see if it works.

In fairness -it is exactly as pictured, with no wires attached, just not as another reviewer described. It is totally useless to me.

Product showed up on time. This motor matched my fridge exactly and I could just un plug the bad motor and plug this one in. I purchased a replacement motor from a local dealer but to install it, I would have to splice wires on the connector side and on the motor side. This eliminated all if that.

I installed this n about 10 minutes and it has been working flawlessly for a month. I hope it will be at least 10 years before I need another.

This is my second time replacing this motor hopefully this one will last longer than the last one I purchased (lasted 13 months).

This is a different make than the previous fan I purchased so we will see. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because I am gun shy after the last replacement motor I purchased.

It is plug and play and extremely easy to change.

Water Sentinel WSG-1-4P Replacement Filters, 4-PACK

Water Sentinel WSG-1-4P Replacement Filters, 4-PACKThe filters are an exact replacement for GE MWF water filters. They fit my GE fridge without problem and actually last twice as long as the much more expensive GE or Brita filters. Very satisfied with these for 2.5 years now. Highly recommend.

deepdiscountsco does NOT package at all securely. mine came in a too-small plastic envelope marked "RECEIVED UNSEALED"by USPS. It was NOTpackaged as "4", all were crushed. 2 of them were NOT sealed as "STERILE" which is the way they are sent from the manufacturer. those 2 were damp and sticky with pink stuff as if used and returned to deepdiscountsco! The filters are excellent when packaged form the manufacturer sealed by law to be sterile. I did not choose deepdiscountsco but was the 1st one on the list of amazon's sellers.

No need to buy the name brand. Im on my 6th water sentinel filter and never had a problem that I didnt cuase. Only thing to watch is sometimes the red "O" ring stays in the fridge unit from used filter. If you try to put new filter on, it will leak with two "O" rings inside. But that would happen with name brand also. Water taste GREAT!!!

Sundanzer Solar-Powered Freezer - 8.1 Cubic Ft

Sundanzer Solar-Powered Freezer - 8.1 Cubic Ft
  • Requires 215 Watt solar panel, 300 Ah battery and 15 Amp charge controller
  • Ideal for off-grid solar homes or applications where grid electricity is not readily available
  • Uses environmentally-friendly CFC-free refrigerant
  • Includes baskets for food organization

Installed this unit about 2 years ago in southern Michigan so it's been through two winters now. My installation is powered by 300 watts of solar panels, which is more than needed but I don't have a good sunny spot in the back yard. Unit is operated at 24 volts using four 6-volt golf cart batteries in series that were purchased from Sams Club. A cheap charge controller was bought on eBay. This combination works fine but the freezer does not keep things as cold as a normal freezer. It stays around 15 degrees F, which I monitor with one of those cheap indoor/outdoor wireless temperature gauges from ABC Warehouse. This temperature is measured near the top of the freezer so should be about the warmest spot. I tried using 130 watts of solar panels and it did not do the trick maybe if I cut a tree or two and adjusted the panel vertical angle seasonally it would work with the 130 watts?

11/29/12 Update

Recently the freezer's control unit died and freezer would not work at all. I contacted Sundanzer (915-821-0042) and spoke with "Billy". He was very helpful and, even thought the freezer is out of warranty, he shipped me a replacement controller at no cost. Replacement was easy and the freezer is now functional again. I did learn that Sundanzer has gone to a different manufacturer for the controller (and compressor?). The controller in my unit was made by ACC in Italy. I'm not sure what kind of service I will receive in the future as it is my understanding that Sundanzer no longer uses this manufacturer. The controller Billy sent me was one of only six they had in stock and they were not able to test it before sending it do me. Billy attempted to test it with the only compressor they had in stock that was compatible with the ACC controller, and none of the six controllers they had in stock would work with that compressor. Thus it would appear that the only compatible compressor Sundanzer had in stock was defective. I also asked Billy if there was some way to make my freezer operate at a lower temperature and he responded that he would also send me the "ice cream thermostat" for my freezer. Again, replacement was a snap but it did not seem to make much of a difference in the freezer's temperature. I concluded that I probably did not have enough solar panels to keep my 24 volt battery fully charged and added another 124 watts of solar panels, making a total of 424 watts in panel output. The freezer now maintains a temperature consistently around 2 degrees F toward the top of the unit and a degree or two lower at the bottom. mkwalker16@hotmail.com
