Whirlpool Part Number 1129316: ECKMF87

Whirlpool Part Number 1129316: ECKMF87
  • Complete kit: valve and bucket included
  • Installation instructions provided

I had to take plastic parts off my old unit and switch them to the new unit. This involved a bit of disassembly and reassembly that may be more than some people want to do. For me, the price was great, and the results were perfect. It works like a charm.

The ice maker arrived quickly and was exactly what I needed. Install was easy with the printed instructions in the box. Good company to work with.

Thanks,

This was an awesome solution to replace our ice maker that gave out after 8 years! We have a Kenmore refrigerator and after some online research I discovered that it uses a Whirlpool icemaker. Matched up some part numbers and viola, found this God-send! This icemaker was easy to install and comes with extra parts to help solve a variety of issues of why your ice maker isn't working. Luckily, mine was a real easy fix since it only involved the actual icemaker unit and not the pumps or anything external. I simply uninstalled the old one and installed this one. Followed some safety instructions and it was like plug-and-play! I just used the old wire harness and didn't even have to replace any wiring! Good stuff!

Here's a tip... Although this comes with some pretty good instructions, go on youtube and look up some videos on how to replace your icemaker. It really helped me out and saved me some $$$ in having a repair man come out! Good luck!

It just seems that the package was made up of different pieces from different boxes

Electrical wires were loose

The main unit was in a separate box

It just seems this was pieced together

The instruction manual was not for this model

The water pump was leaking , i needed to buy another one

But it worked in the end without a plumber

Includes all the parts you need. The instructions didn't quite cover my old fridge from '93, but I was able to figure it out regardless. I'm not terribly handy and I had this up and running in a couple hours. Make sure to throw out the first few batches of ice, (clean out the internals).

The product works well as it has been I think a year since it was purchased. It was delivered with a dent, but we needed the fridge and it was the last one so we kept it.

Electrolux EI24WC65GS IQ-Touch 24" Stainless Steel 46 Bottle Capacity Compact Wine Chiller

Electrolux EI24WC65GS IQ-Touch 24' Stainless Steel 46 Bottle Capacity Compact Wine Chiller
  • EI24WC65GS

Those who care about their electricity consumption, should really consider this unit. There are many units out there that are much cheaper and perhaps more practical in size, but this one is one of the few that have a published electricity rating. Some of its Marvel rivals are not energy certified/rated.

I did lots of research on wine coolers and things to look for when buying one, and I trusted consumer report that mentioned this unit to be least expensive in yearly energy consumption.

It uses 400kWh per year, so they calculated the average yearly cost to run the unit to be $47 on average. In NY, of course, it would be a double, but it is still good enough than paying $400+ a year for a dual temperature unit or a unit that is cheaper and more compact.

As the previous review stated, the unit is made in USA and Canada, which is refreshing. YAY!

In general, the unit is quite sturdy; although on a heavier side, its pieces/parts are not flimsy. Sliding racks are super smooth. Bordeaux and Pinot Noir bottles fit with no problem.

It is tiny tiny bit loud when it is running, but we have an old GE fridge (over 15 years old) standing next to it that has been making noise for some time, so now they both can make noise together. I am used to it, so unless you are very sensitive to this type of noise, you may want to pass on wine cooler all together. They all make some noise, period!

Bottom line, I just got the unit. Not sure how it will run in the long run, but I will update this review once there are any changed/news.

We had looked for a wine fridge for a long time before settling on this particular one. Love the look and it holds as many bottles as it says it will. Love everything about it but the only reason I couldn't give it 5 stars is that it is a little loud when it is running. Definitely worth the money though!

Again, we spent time searching for an appliance made in the U. S. or Canada. All Electrolux products are in fact made in the U. S. or Canada, we loved this cooler so much that we bought other appliances made by them and love them all. Looks good, works good and does not require an engeneering degree to install and operate it.

Delivery:

Anyway, delivery was a challenge, wrong day for starters. They called on the Monday to say it'd be Wednesday not Tuesday. Given for me it's a 2 hr drive north and a vacation place I've been fixing up for years, not the most convenient thing. The caller told me it was because the truck broke down. The delivery guy said it was because of the Jewish holidays. Then they "got lost', and instead of the 2:00pm to 6:00pm delivery window I got it in the dark at 9:00pm.

Furthermore they sent a box truck that was too large for our hill road, which I'd specifically told them about, not mentioned in the notes, but they did manage to write "stairs" on the order. More on that later. I ended up getting it onto my pick-up in the dark and the driver refused to leave the truck, so the other guy came with me and we got it into the house and then the company charges $25 per 7 stairs that as he was on his own I just said that's enough, I'm not paying to help you carry it down the stairs, so I left it in the box. It did work out with "free" delivery and no State sales tax $300 cheaper than Lowes, but a lot more traumatic. So I went up again last weekend to unpack it and make sure it works within the 30 days

So the Electrolux seems to work well. It can handle 46 bottles, but looses two bottom shelves for a "Display" angled shelf that you can have lit. I tend to prefer to have all the bottle's at an angle that ensures the cork stays moist. This still might be ok. The end of the shelves are metallic, not wood.

It's a little loud when running, but they all make some noise, I don't notice it and it shuts off when at the correct temp, which it reaches pretty quickly. There is a charcoal air filter, which I'd don't really see the need for. Running costs are estimated at $45 a year.

Overall I'm pleased. If you live in a regular location and have no stairs it's a good deal. I ordered from HcCost. It wasn't the cost pushed me to this over Lowes but the fuss they made when I tried to order with them online and by phone. At least with Amazon and it's resellers you click a button.

I have had this device for 1 week.

1. It seems to work as advertised. It came undamaged and the shipper HCcost was great!

2. The door requires a great deal clearance on the side to open correctly. BE WARNED. Look at detailed specs.

3. Door opens from left to right (hinge is on the right) Plan for the additional room required!

4. The unit DOES NOT come with a door conversion kit to change the hinge from the right side to the left. If you want the kit, it is approx $117 from electrolux. This includes a couple of brackets, and plastic covers. In my opinion, for a $1500 wine cooler, this is unacceptable. The customer service folks offered a 10% discount, but $105 plus s+h for two brackets, and plastic bracket cover in my opinion is a complete ripoff. For that I unfortunately can not recommend this unit. The cost of the conversion kit is a deal breaker.

Samsung RS267TDRS 26 Cu. Ft. Stainless Steel Side-By-Side Refrigerator - Energy Star

Samsung RS267TDRS 26 Cu. Ft. Stainless Steel Side-By-Side Refrigerator - Energy StarI have owned a Samsung fridge and have had nothing but problems with it. Samsungs I have found out have notoriously had cooling problems especially with the coils freezing. Don't just take my word for it, look up class action on Samsung fridges. I tried repairing this fridge twice with appliance repair companies to no avail. Once your fridge stops properly cooling, it more than likely will cost you less to buy another brand. I hate giving this fridge a bad review as I loved the design of the fridge and Samsung brand products in general but unfortunately they havent really figured out how to make a reliable fridge. For the cost of these appliances, you should get more than a year or so of reliable use.

There are several models involved in the class action, not just my model. So you can judge for yourself on whether you want to purchase a Samsung fridge but I wanted to share my experiences with Samsung brand refrigerators and put the information out there about the known defect.

This review is for a Samsung RS267TDBP which probably shares many similarities with its nearby model number cousins. I also published this review on Samsung's web site.

The review:

Temperature regulation seems to be excellent in both the refrigerator side and the freezer side. This unit is extremely quiet while running but the icemaker produces some strange (and funny) noises doing whatever it does.

Power freeze and Power cool features are excellent our newly delivered and set up fridge cooled down the fridge to 45 degrees within a couple of hours. I forgot how long it took to cool down the freezer side, but it was relatively fast. Be aware if *both* Power freeze and Power cool are selected, the fridge side will cool down FIRST, then it will start to cool down the freezer. We thought the freezer side wasn't working, but after a few hours, the freezer side started to cool.

The design of the interior is very well thought out allowing easy and convenient organization and access to food/drink.

One complaint about the product is the pull out drawer design. They are much harder to pull out than they should be due to the plastic drawer design. The drawer runners/guide are simply plastic against plastic there are no wheels or rollers. I noticed when fridge shopping as the price of the fridge increased, so did the ease of pulling the drawers in and out (and drawer quality). Looks like you need to get into a $2,000+ fridge to get a better drawer design.

There are many complaints about the LED lighting in this series of Samsung products the primary one being too little light. The lighting is *very* well distributed up and down on both sides, but it is for a fact a little on the dim side. While a bit of a detriment, the other strengths of the product make this less of an issue.

Unless you use a very large diameter glass or cup, the ice dispenser will shoot crushed ice all over the place. This is the most significant design flaw of this product.

No regrets about the purchase and I would recommend it to others assuming they understand the weaknesses.

Although the refrigerator is fine the ice maker is an absolute nightmare. It cannot keep up with even minor demand. It jams constantly requiring a removal and ice flys all over the floor. It crushes even though it is not on that setting. Frost builds up inside the icemaker. Also the front panel can easily be set incorrectly if you lean on it. It has shut down completely several times and required getting the manual out to turn back on. I would not recommend this and I will never buy another Samsung appliance.

Purchased this unit in July 2011 and had to return it because there was something wrong with the control panel and it would not allow me to select either cube or crushed ice unless I pressed hard along the top edge of the button. Then it would dispense the ice in a rather slow manner with a lot of very loud clunking noises (my old GE unit made comparatively little noise when dispensing ice, and dispensed it far more quickly). The seller ordered a new unit and replaced it the following week. The front panel worked fine on the second unit, but the unit would not dispense the ice at all! Returned for a full refund. As it is quite a hassle to keep changing refrigerators, we could not take a risk on another Samsung.

I thought that the unit could use more lighting at the front because when the unit is full of food items, a bit too much light gets blocked. We found also that you will need to double-check that the freezer door is fully shut because it sometimes appears that it is shut but really isn't. That happened to us twice and the second time it was very slightly ajar for a couple of hours and condensation built up inside and then froze rather thickly all over the glass shelves and walls of the freezer.

Samsung has made a very stylish-looking unit and for the most part it works well, but it does appear that they have some things to learn about manufacturing refrigerators.

Owned this RS267 refrigerator for a year now and it does a great job of keeping food fresh a long time compared to our $500 standard GE refrigerator. At first it was making a little more noise than expected but I discovered one of the back wheels wasn't quite touching the floor (refrigerator was level but not the floor). I put a piece of felt under that wheel and it became much more quiet. The LED lighting inside takes a while to get use to but you do. The ice maker is slow to make ice but we don't use too much ice anyway. If we turn the ice maker off sometimes when we turn it back on again it doesn't work even though the panel light says it's on. Turning it off then on again always seems to fix the problem (sounds like a circuit board issue).

ThinkBamboo brand Bamboo Charcoal Refrigerator Fresheners - 180 grams of bamboo charcoal granules i

ThinkBamboo 180g Bamboo Charcoal Odor Absorbing Refrigerator Pouch - 3pc BlueI was to the point where I wanted to buy a new fridge, I couldn't get rid of the smell. I don't know what caused it, but I tried cleaning it with bleach, Odo-Ban, comet, ammonia, Mr.Clean with Febreeze, hydrogen peroxide mixed with water.... I tried using baking soda and other charcoal things....Nothing worked! I bought these as a last ditch effort and am glad I did! The smell is gone from my fridge, and it didn't take long at all!

Great for getting the "made in China" or perfume smell out of things. I'm allergic to most fragrances and chemicals (MCS). I doubt these would work well as a replacement for traditional air fresheners, but for my purposes, they are awesome.

I ordered 3 of these, and liked them so much I ordered the 7-pack. I put the first ones in the freezer and fridge, and they work better and faster than baking soda. And, they're reusable, since you can just put them in the sun for a while and they're rejuvenated. I've now put some in my husband's closet, and they work well in there, too.

I followed the specification and these haven't absorbed any odors whatsoever. Tried putting them in the sun, tried more enclosed spaces. Nothing doing. Do not buy . . . useless.

Does not work at all. Did not absorb anything and does not take any smell away. Looks nice and feels high quality, but useless sadly.

Whirlpool Dryer Lint Screen / Filter / Trap W10120998 / 3390721

Whirlpool Dryer Lint Screen / Filter / Trap W10120998 / 3390721
  • Made in the USA
  • Long-lasting, redesigned metal screen
  • Fits Whirlpool and Kenmore 27" cabinet width dryers

The glue keeping the felt band on these filters seem a bit faulty. Don't think it is the fault of the seller but the manifacturer since my original filter and this one both ended up with the same defect.

This item was purchased as a replacement for the original lint screen that came with my Whirlpool Dryer. The felt liner was pulling loose from the plastic frame. After 5 uses, this new lint screen has the same problem! The felt liner is already starting to separate from the frame. I am not happy with this purchase.

I searched the internet for a replacement lint screen for my dryer. This was the cheapest I could find and was a little worried that the service would match the price. I was happy to find out that the service from partshouse is exceptional and very professional. The product arrived on time and in excellent condition. I would definitely buy from this vendor again in the future.

Bought this filter really cheap on Amazon. The appliance parts places, even the local ones wanted $45 to $55 each. This unit is very very good, even has a center support not shown on pic. The OEM filter lasted only a couple of years, hope this one lasts longer, should.

Photo is not what you receive. What you receive is a newer improved version of it. It now comes with a plastic molding down the center to give the screen more strength as to not bend. Newer version of trap is much improved. Definitely replace your dryer filter trap with this one if it needs replacing. Filter trap is stronger, better screen and fits more snug than the factory one that was initially installed. I recommend this vender.

Green Filter for Kenmore 9915 NSF Certified Refrigerator Water Filter, Certif...

Green Filter for Kenmore 9915 NSF Certified Refrigerator Water Filter, Certif...I guess the filter may be filtering the water of harmful contaminants, but looking at the glass of water there is stuff floating in it. The product is made from natural coconuts fibers, so it might be natural, but I don't like having visible floating material in my water.

I am ordering a standard filter and plan on removing this one when I get it.
