Genuine Viking Pa020047 Invensys 0+4 Re-ignition Spark Module

Genuine Viking Pa020047 Invensys 0+4 Re-ignition Spark Module
  • Original Viking Part
  • Not a replacement part

This is my second module in the last 2 years. Made in Brazil. You would think that this would last longer than two years. I bought the first module from Allvikingparts.com which is more expensive than Amazon. I would pay twice as much, if it would last at least 10 years. However,l it's an easy install and now I can use the one burner where the igniter kept clicking away. Nice to have it working again, now all i have to do if fix the two year old griddle switch! Ugh...Viking stove's crappy parts!

Module came in on time and I installed it myself, took about 45 minutes. I had been given an estimate by a local repair company of $275.00, part and labor. I paid $ 70 (incl. shipping) for my brand new part. I called part suppliers around the country and with their help determined the part that I needed, I actually gave the part number to the local repair place.

Anyway, you have to make sure you mark the wiring and put it back exactly as it is supposed to go. Fairly simple to do if you are mechanically inclined. Saved $205.00 and my Viking cook top with griddle works like new!

I used this to repair my Viking stove top which was not sparking on some burners and continuously sparking on others. Worked great. Saved me a lot of money.

Whirlpool 67005560 Relay Overload for Refrigerator

Whirlpool 67005560 Relay Overload for Refrigeratorpurchased this product because my refrigerator/freezer quit cooling. One night I smelled plastic burning and traced it to the back of the refrigerator. Long behold this part had burned up. I ordered this replacement, got it within 2 days, pluged it in and within 2 hours my refrigerator/freezer were back in business. Been working for about 4 weeks now. So far so good. Also it was the least expensive I could find online. Even a local repair shop wanted $65 for this part.

This replacement part was an exact match. Currently the refrigerator has been running continuously 2 1/2 months now without incident.

Product was the correct part for my Fridge and is as listed, however, apparently my problem goes beyound just this start relay and capacitor as this did not start my compressor..

I made the mistake of ordering 2 of the same item, contacted the shipper twice and have not heard back on either request. I realize the issue with returning electrical items but I did reach out even before the item was shipped, they could have at least attempted to contact me to state that my mistake is my problem not theirs. Will never use the these folks ever again.

Seems Whirlpool/sears and other of the same type use this overload, actually it's a starting relay. Easy to install and it fixes many intermittent starting issues. I saved the $400 fees from Sears, just snaps on the side of the compressor.

10 Inch Hot Water Filter High Temperature Housing PWFHHW2510 by Kem Flow

10 Inch Hot Water Filter High Temperature Housing PWFHHW2510 by Kem FlowThis item took nearly a month to recieve. If you check their feedback, it looks like not shipping orders is a common problem. I was litterally a day away from filing a claim with Amazon when it showed up.

It should be noted that the item did not include any installation instructions or the spanner wrench listed in the description.

I purchased this unit to install on the hot water line that runs to our large shower in the master bath. The dual shower unit has the auto adjust heat settings, and multiple jets, including body jets. About every 6 months, I would need to disassemble the control unit, and clean out a fine residue that built up on the ultra fine mesh screens inside the handles. Even with softened municipal water, these screens would clog up and the water pressure would go down to a trickle in 3-6 months. I isolated it to the issue to hot water only. This cleaning process was not fun, as it was a timely process.

I installed this unit on the hot water line going to the bath, and installed a 5 micron filter. The unit is heavy duty, and built to withstand the hot water. So far, after 6 months, the pressures are fine. I'll be changing the cartridge soon.

I bought this filter to keep sediment and scale from clogging my sink. I am sure it is coming from the water tank. It was the only filter i could find under $100 rated for hot water. I expected the item in 2-3 days, as promised, yet it took ten. I was also disappointed it had no installation instructions. I assumed it needed a bracket, so I tapped the holes to 1/4" and made a metal bracket to hold it. It does seem to do a good job filtering the water.

True Manufacturing Gasket - 810808

True Manufacturing Gasket - 810808
  • This replacement refrigeration door gasket is ready to ship to you the same day
  • Complete molded frame with OEM quality heat-welded corners
  • High quality material made in the USA
  • Includes magnet installed in gasket
  • Completely assembled product that will replace current gasket

This gasket fit well. The magnet is a little on the weak side, as when my employees close the bottom door too hard the top door will pop open, but not the other way around. Otherwise nothing to complain about.

Frigidaire FFHT10F2LW 9.9 Cu. Ft. White Counter Depth Top Freezer Refrigerator - Energy Star

Frigidaire FFHT10F2LW 9.9 Cu. Ft. White Counter Depth  Top Freezer Refrigerator - Energy StarI should have known by looking at the instruction manual that this refrigerator was sub par. There are a series of categories under the "Before you call for service..." section that mention excessive noises and prolonged run cycles. To all, the manual says "normal" condition. This thing makes an incredible amount of noise, and it runs almost constantly. When it does shut off, you can open the door and quickly grab something (maybe 5 seconds), and it will then run for an hour. Cooling--it's prime function--is sub par. For all its effort, the interior temperature rarely gets below 50 degrees. I've had unopened yogurt (!) spoil in 2 weeks. Any drinks that one enjoys cold need ice.

As for design, the interior is not only very small, but very inefficiently designed. There are 2 small bins for produce about 1 cu.ft. each. Put in one head of romaine lettuce and it's full. The door compartments are a joke. There is no butter compartment and nothing for eggs. Instead, there are 6 little 6" x 5" shelves that each hold 3 cans of (warm) soda, and one huge shelf on the bottom for tall items. All in all, the door takes up 6" of the interior depth. The depth of the interior shelves range from approximately 13 to 15 inches. There are 3 adjustable shelves, but shelf space is no more than perhaps 750 square inches.

I live in an apartment unit with a small hallway, so getting anything large into it is a challenge. The unit this refrigerator replaced was European and designed for small spaces. It had a 10 cu.ft. capacity, but it felt like 20 compared to this new piece of crap. I've had this thing for a month, but I'm already thinking about tossing it.

This is the worst product. I feel that it was designed to fill a size niche for energy efficient refrigerators, with no other considerations. Certainly none was given to putting food in it--other than canned soda.

I needed a small fridge for a "granny" apartment, and I always try to buy Energy Star. In a rare fit of supporting the local independent mom-and-pop store, I bought one of these in July. It took them over a month to get one from Frigidaire.

When first plugged in, it would run for maybe 15 minutes and then stop for at least that long. Took it over a day to get the fridge section down to 50F. With normal food inside, it won't go below 39F even on the very coldest setting. The off-to-on hysteresis is 10F, so at the coldest setting it cycles between 40F and 50F. The freezer will go to -18F if you turn its knob cold, but the refrigerator averages around 45F. If you take out all the liquids and heavy stuff, the fridge will freeze your lettuce to death before shutting off, while still waiting for about 50F to come back on.

It also makes a wide repertory of amazing noises, loud enough to be heard all over the house. Sometimes it is a "boink-boink-boink" sound from the compressor or the gas bubbling. Way louder than the normal soft boiling sound refrigeration sometimes makes. Other times it is a loud buzz from the air circulation fan you can tell because it stops when you open the fridge door. And sometimes it is normally quiet, but totally unpredictable.

The local repair guy keeps replacing fans and sensors, and the behavior changes a bit each time, but there doesn't seem to be a real fix. I'd love to hear from anyone else who has one of these, working well or not! Frigidaire, if you're listening, I'm not very hopeful about hauling this back to the store on my dime and waiting another month to see if a replacement would be any better. I'm thinking serious design flaw...

Green Filter for LG 5231JA2006B-S NSF Certified Refrigerator Water Filter, Ce...The canister feels cheap compared to the original LG product that my fridge came with, but it seems to have the same filtration capabilities and the water has no chlorine taste.

Avanti 4.8 cubic ft. Built-In All Refrigerator-Stainless Steel

Avanti 4.8 cubic ft. Built-In All Refrigerator-Stainless Steel
  • The 5.3 cubic foot capacity provides plenty of storage space
  • Quality stainless steel door and handle
  • Adjustable shelves can also be removed to meet storage needs
  • Interior light eases visibility
  • Reversible hinge for a left or right door swing

My husband and I bought this unit 2 years ago while doing a remodel to rental suite (they'd have their private mini-kitchen). It sat for a few months in the box waiting to be installed inside the house, air conditioned, and away from sunlight. We finally opened an installed it 9/2011. Aside from using it twice for chilling party trays (turning it on when needed, off when not), it didn't go into "full-time use" until we had a renter move in upstairs and began to use it 9/1/2012. The renter noticed an issue in March 2013 as her milk and other food was going bad faster than the expiration dates and finally brought it to our attention on 3/20/2013. We put a thermometer inside, left the fridge closed for 30 minutes, and took a reading it was 20 degrees warmer in the fridge than the digital thermometer was set to (we left it in overnight and it never went lower than 57 degrees). My husband called Avanti the next day (as they were closed) and a serviceperson was sent out today (3/22/2013). For $65 the serviceperson looked the unit over and declared that there was a sealant issue in the lines that could not be fixed and that we would need to call our city to properly dispose of it. Great. We're out of the warranty zone and out $700, but if there's anything we've learned from this is:

Fridge-fairies do not exist.

Get a fridge with a 2 year or more warranty.

Stand alones are 1/3 the price or more than the cost of a built in.

They only last 2 years before petering out especially when they're this cheap (according to the serviceperson representing Avanti!)

If you're really concerned about looks, spend around $1,000 or more for a good mini-fridge built-in. Or buy a full fridge.

Frigidaire FRIGIDAIRE 240323002 REFRIGERATOR DOOR BIN

Frigidaire FRIGIDAIRE 240323002 REFRIGERATOR DOOR BIN
  • THIS FRIGIDAIRE 240323002 REFRIGERATOR DOOR BIN WORKS WITH A WIDE RANGE OF FRIGIDAIRE, KENMORE
  • CROSELY AND OTHER REFRIGERATOR MODELS.
  • THIS BIN IS 16" WIDE WITH A FULL BOTTOM AND CURVED EAR
  • Works with the following models: Frigidaire BGHS2634KE0, Frigidaire BGHS2634KE1
  • Frigidaire BGHS2634KP0, Frigidaire BGHS2634KP1, Frigidaire BGHS2644KF0, Frigidaire BGHS2644KF1

We purchased this FRIGIDAIRE side by side for our home and rental property, last year! We are a two person family and the rental property was an older man and women. Approximately, 9 months after purchase we noticed fractures,tiny vein like splits in the bottom of a few bins while cleaning them, on both refrig. We assumed they were natural plastic folds and ignored them. two months ago ,one Gallon bin (# 240-324502) came crashing to the floor, when our niece opened the refrigerator door. The bin held mustard, ketchup and assorted salad dressing bottles. The Gallon bin is rated for two gallons of milk. THIS WOULD NEVER HOLD THAT WEIGHT! The bin broke away at the hinges and the fracture finally broke the bottom out. We assumed she pulled on it and did not contact FRIGIDAIRE! Two days ago, I opened the frig door and another on came crashing to the floor, breaking glass bottle condiments on my kitchen floor. The same breaks and fracture in the plastic were apparent. THESE BINS ARE CHEAP AND DEFECTIVE! I contacted FRIGIDAIRE and they told me its over the year warranty, SORRY; and gave me all the phone numbers, web addys, parts locations in Jacksonville one hour away) and info to purchase some more PLASTIC BINS! GALLONS ARE $43.58 , Smaller bins are $34.50, plus shipping and handling! When I checked our rental properties refrigerator, our tenants had one broken bin in the garage already! All were already fractured!

I spoke with FRIGIDAIRE AGAIN! Explaining to them this is a defective plastic and needs their attention. I was told for a service fee of aprox $125.00, they would send out a rep to view the plastic bins for defects. But only then would it be noted that they were defective and it was their opinion that had the last word.

Who thought that game up over there at FRIGIDAIRE?? Make the customer pay out of pocket $125.00 bucks for a FRIGIDAIRE REP to tell you what you already know they will say.." Sorry, they are not defective", and be out $125.00 and still have no bins to hang on your refrigerator door inside this big stainless steal over priced chill box?? Are they that cruel and uncaring?

That deal already sounds BIAS and being out $125.00 is not fair game. So, all in all this is my OPINION:

They make money off these broken bins! BIG BUCKS! They want them to break away and make you think its your fault! Your kids are pulling on them, you are chilling 50lb weights in the bins, YOU ARE THE PROBLEM HERE, not FRIGIDAIRE!!

It the lowest of lowest scams. FRIGIDAIRE Produces cheap break away plastic bins that can't hold a bag of marshmellows, yet rate them for two gallons of milk, and keep the customer re-purchasing their parts. I'd be ashamed to be the engineer who rated these! It was probably a monkey with some building blocks and a banana reward system, named BOBO the chimp!

FRIGIDAIRE is not true to its customers. FRIGIDAIRE is GUILTY of producing Cheap bins for a high grade expensive refrigerator and refuse to do anything about it! "FRIGIDAIRE" SHAME ON YOU!!!

We will never purchase, FRIGIDARE APPLIANCES again! WE WILL PASS THE WORD ABOUT THEIR CHEAP BINS, RE: FB,MS, Quepasa,Blogs,Tweets,Emails,letters and web!Just like the their overwhelming many "Frigidaire parts" sites! I adore the internet for this, getting it out there for as many people to see as possible! We pray this stopped someone from making this mistake and purchasing from a BIG company who found away to never stand behind their product! Unless, you want to pay for a FRIGIDAIRE REPRESENTATIVE to say it to your face? It can be arranged.

My Frigidaire Model Number FRS6LF7JS0 uses two of this type of bin, both are on the two lower-most door bins. One of our bins broke off, the lower-most door bin after 46 months of solid use. It gave out without warning, but if you look at the plastic it is molded from, one can see that it can crack suddenly if taken to it's threshold. We would place all sorts of condiment jars, juice bottles, 2 liter soda bottles. It held a good amount of weight for it's size, it just gave out. I rate this bin 4 out of 5 stars because they could have made it out of a more rubber-like plastic, something that would not be as fragile or sudden to break under normal wear and tear. I inspected the remaining same-part-number bin above this and found some crazing on one side, where the plastic bin hooks onto the inner door liner. I would expect this other bin to give out soon as well. NOTE: The FRIGIDAIRE REFRIGERATOR DOOR BIN P/N 240323002 goes on the two lower-most door shelf spaces on my model FRS6LF7JS0. The actual P/N that you will find on the part is 240323000, but for some reason, the catalogue will list the part as 240323002. It is the correct part for this fridge!

The bin itself is fine, and the price is reasonabe. Seller shipped quickly and appropriately packaged. Arrived without incident. Only problem is that it is hard to tell from the picture which of the four different types of door bins used by my Frigidaire refrigerator this is. This is the UPPER refrigerator door bin, not the Lower one. It cannot be used in several of the positions on the right hand door, nor can it be used in the freezer. This is a design flaw in the refrigerator, and a problem with the documentation of the unit, (the parts section of the user guide does not identify these as different parts) and no fault of the seller.

One of the shelves in our Frigidaire crashed to the ground (with several glass bottles of salad dressing) when we opened the refrigerator door a few weeks ago. As frustrated as I was, I did not call your company because I thought it was some fluke thing. This morning, the exact same thing happened as I was trying to get breakfast ready for my children. I had a disaster to clean up, simply from opening our refrigerator door. Shelves on the door should not be breaking in a refrigerator, from a reputable brand, that is barely 2 years old. I am so disappointed in Frigidaire. They are exactly the same and broke exactly the same way, so I am quite positive there is a problem with these shelves. It is so disappointing to be expected to purchase 2 new shelves for over $70, just to have the same thing happen again.

The shelf in my fridge broke. With a little effort I determined exactly the correct replacement part this smaller lower shelf. (A call to the Frigidaire rep helped. She was very precise in her question to be sure I was buying the correct replacement. There are two sizes of shelf in the right door. Upper shelves are larger, deeper with four plastic walls; lower shelves are more shallow with three plastic walls.) I think this product is a little overpriced for what it is -a plastic shelf. I also find that it breaks too easily during normal use (opening and closing the door with food or bottles occasionally falling over). I am very pleased with how well it fits. Make the effort to determine the right part and it will fit exactly in place.
