Sears Kenmore 38476 Reverse Osmosis Replacement Filters (Whirlpool WHER 12 & 18 Compatible) Review

I ordered these replacements after on a third trip to Sears they did not have this in stock and it seemed they were not likely to in the future.
The online Sears price was 5-6 dollars higher, and I was upset they did not stock it locally, I ordered these through my more familiar Amazon account.

279838 AND 279816 Dryer Heating Element and Thermostat Combo Pack for Whirlpool Kenmore Electric Dryers Review

279838 AND 279816 Dryer Heating Element and Thermostat Combo Pack for Whirlpool Kenmore Electric Dryers
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have a Kenmore model 110.62602100 drier.
Last week, it stopped heating up. The dryer is over 10 years old, as is the washer and they are a bit rusty, so I looked at replacing them. The reviews I read on new washers and dryers showed me that they are not as reliable and don't wash as good as the older models. There are some energy and water savings to be had with newer washers, but it would take years for that to repay itself, and I'd have a lower quality washer and drier in the mean-time. I also looked at getting a new gas dryer, which would cut my energy bill, but was looking at about $500 for a high quality one. Again, not worth the savings...
So, I unplugged the dryer and flipped it forward. I found that the people who installed it had crushed the exhaust duct, which resulted in it filling with lint and increasing drying times, not to mention creating a fire-hazard.
I removed the duct and back panel, which had 9 screws holding it on. Once I pulled the panel off, I instantly saw that the spade connection to the heating element had burned itself into oblivion. The connector went into the thermostat, so I needed a new thermostat as well. I found the part numbers at sears.com, which showed the heating element to be back-ordered.
I did a google search which showed this kit on Amazon, so I ordered it. It took a little longer than desired for it to come, but within the estimated window. I am really spoiled by the free 2-day prime shipping, so paying extra for expedited shipping and having it take 4 days is a bit galling. Oh well...
The heating element was held on with 2 screws. After removing them, it slid right out. The thermostat included with this kit was different from the original, so I had to cut a wire and install a spade connector, but that was easy. The kit did not include the screws needed to attach the thermostat to the heating element, so I had to dig some out of the shop. The original setup had no screws holding the thermostat on as the terminal held it on, but this kit has a wire, which will not hold it on. The same screws that hold the back panel and the heating element on will work, so you can pick some up before this arrives.
Once the wires were back in place, I buttoned everthing back up, installed a new metal duct(plastic is a fire hazard) and put the dryer back in place. I fired it up for 30 seconds and popped it open, instant heat!!!
The new heating element had an odor, so I ran it for 10 minutes to "break it in" but now it is working like new!
This was an easy repair that anyone who is a bit handy could do. The most involved part was cutting the wire and installing the included crimped connector. If you can do that, you are good to go. The drier is also pretty light, so it is easy to flip forward. Always make sure to unplug before opening up electrical appliances, of course...

The bad news was the washer was not working. Worse -the blogs on the 'net said get rid of the machine! This pump arrived 4-5 days after ordered and was a perfect fit. Easy to install and superior in design to the OEM pump. Our Whirlpool is good to go for another 10 years.

Whirlpool : GI7FVCXWQ 27 cu. ft. Bottom Mount Refrigerator - White Review

Whirlpool : GI7FVCXWQ 27 cu. ft. Bottom Mount Refrigerator - White
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This refrigerator started having problems from the very first day. There was too much water condensation in the area around the ice maker. In certain areas outside of the icemaker, there was ice build-up. The seal between the icemaker and the ice holder was not working properly. There was a lot of water condensation between the two doors in the area around the seals. The service people who came to look at this said these problems were not normal. They said two major parts have to replaced. I have decided to replace this with a brand new model instead on having the one we bought serviced. I hope the new one works okay. If not, I am going to cancel the order and buy another refrigerator. It is a very expensive model (more than $ 2,500) and should have these problems like this.

After three years of service, the fridge quit cooling properly. My new house came with all new Maytag appliances, which I thought was good because they would last. First the Microwave blew it's controller board six months ago, now the fridge quit working and one of the burners on the Maytag glass top stove won't heat.
I would encourage folks to buy anything OTHER than Maytag. These new products are expensive pieces of garbage.
The Maytag repair man apparently got schizophrenia and was promoted to director of quality and design!

Fridge works great, but I found out that you can turn it off with your belly (Im 190 @ 6 feet) when reaching for things you might place on top of the fridge.
The buttons on the ice/water dispenser can turn your condenser off, when pressed at the same time, setting your temps to 0Fc. When that happens your fridge doesn't work and stops producing cold.
Lucky I noticed this before all my food went bad. I called the 800 service number and it was fast and told me the buttons to press to fix this. My temps went up 10 degrees before I fixed it since there is no mention of this in the product literature.

Refrigrator Automatic Ice Maker Kit Review

Refrigrator Automatic Ice Maker Kit
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
If you buy this part, make sure you give it 24 hours to work. I was expecting it to start working right away as soon as I installed it. I was very frustrated when I didn't see the dial start to spin when installed. I actually took the part out and sent it back thinking it was defective. Well it turns out the part has an internal thermostat that has to get cold to the right temperature in order to kick the icemaker on. They failed to leave out this very important bit of information. The common lay person would never know this. So don't send it back, give it 24hrs to work!

Summit : FF985SS Refrigerator Review

Summit : FF985SS Refrigerator
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Summit refrigerators are awful! Man, do I wish I had done more research before I bought one. There are dozens of complaints out there about these units.
I waited a full year before posting this - ever hoping the unit would correct itself or I'd finally get some customer service return calls from Summit.
My Summit refrigerator makes a LOUD nonstop crackling noise EVERY time the refrigerator generator (what cools the food) comes on. It's LOUD.
I contacted Summit immediately and they acted surprised that my refrigerator was loud (HOW can that be when there are literally dozens of complaints online about this refrigerator and the lack of customer service from Summit??!!!).
First they said I had to find my own repair person, so I did ... but they didn't use him. They set up an appointment for a repair guy to come fix my refrigerator, but he was a straight NO SHOW 3 times in a row!!! I had to take off work 3 days to wait for a repair guy who never showed nor called. When I called him, each time the guy said he had forgotten the appointment!!! 3 times?????
When I tried to get Summit to arrange for a different repair person (I even had 3 new recommendations PLUS my original recommendation for them), they refused (RUDELY TOO!) and insisted that I had to work with this guy. I tried a 4th time with their repair person and again NO SHOW! Now 4 vacation days GONE!
I called Ken Cullins (Summit CEO) and Paul Storch (VP of Customer Service ... here's their #: 718.893.3900 x93 for Paul) and they were dismissive and rude.
The fridge is too cold, is WAY TOO LOUD - it wakes me up at night!!!!!!, ... and the worst part is the Summit knows how bad their products are, continues to sell them, and do not respond to customer complaints or efforts to fix the problems.

Whirlpool/Kenmore Deluxe Water Filter (4396508-3pack) Review

Whirlpool/Kenmore Deluxe Water Filter (4396508-3pack)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
These are the standard filters used in many refrigerators like my Whirlpool. They filter all the water used in the ice maker and the in-door water dispenser just as you would expect them to do.
The 3-pack of these is a great maoney saving costing only about $5 more than buying two of them individually.
They only rate about a 4 in the star system because they never last as long as Whirlpool says they should. The owner's manual says about 5-6 months with the sort of use we put them to, and the "change me" light comes on at about the 5 month time, and the water flow through begins to diminish about the same time. But, changing the filter at the 4-month point keeps the water taste top notch. Waiting that extra month or so gives you water that isn't as clean tasting.
Ah, well. At least you save money buying in bulk.

Whirlpool : GI7FVCXWB 27 cu. ft. Bottom Mount Refrigerator - Black Review

Whirlpool : GI7FVCXWB 27 cu. ft. Bottom Mount Refrigerator - Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We've had our black Whirlpool Gold Latitude (model GI7FVCXWB) refrigerator for three months. We purchased it in February of 2010. We give this refrigerator a five star rating.
This refrigerator is everything we wanted. We love that we no longer need measuring cups for adding water to a recipe. The door shelves are wide enough for gallon bottles. Both the refrigerator and freezer are huge. We had a second freezer because the top freezer on our previous refrigerator was so small. I have unplugged the second freezer because it is no longer needed.
The ability of the ice maker to dispense cubes or crushed ice is great. Although I've seen some complaints regarding the noise level of the ice maker, it is no louder than any other refrigerator ice maker. The noise level does not draw your attention to it nor does it drown out conversations or cause any other distress.
My only complaint is with the Owner's Manual. The refrigerator has a door ajar alarm. Unfortunately, the Owner's Manual does not provide good instructions for turning the alarm on. Once, I figure out how to set the door ajar alarm, we will have no concerns with our black Whirlpool Gold Latitude.

Whirlpool Gold GX5FHDXVQ 36 24.8 cu. ft. French Door Refrigerator - White
Average Reviews:

Got the GX5SHDXV model, similar to the one shown, about a week ago. It was originally $1298 at Lowes, but the floor model had paint scratches, so they marked it down to $1k. Lowes delivered it (an adventure in itself) but I installed it and set it up. So far so good, it's quiet, makes lots of ice quickly, and has the Energy Star qualification that should save $$ on my electric bill.
There is only one gallon storage shelf in the door; I wrote Whirlpool to send me another to replace the can dispenser shelf that I won't use.
The refrigerator drawers slide nicely, as does the freezer compartment drawer.
The paint finish is very good, once I cleaned off all the tape residue from Lowes (why do they do that?) I used auto detailing spray to make it shine.

I have a WSW-1 and the end blew off and started shooting water out the front of the refrigerator and all over the floor. Fortunately we were in the next room when it happened.

We purchased this refrigerator several months ago and have been very disappointed. It is poorly constructed and noisy. The shelves and drawers are very inferior quality and easily broken. There are not enough shelves and they are poorly arranged so we actually have less storage than we did with our old 25' refrigerator. This purchase was a bad mistake.

**DO NOT BUY** FACTORY DESIGN DEFECT. Yes it's true, in 2010 they cannot design a refrigerator that functions properly. The same cold air that freezes the water tray for cubes, ALSO freezes the water line for the cubes! On top of that, the so called "fix" doesn't work either! Other than that, it's seems to be a pretty nice unit...unless you care about having ice. LED lighting sure is sexy though. Ours stopped working almost immediately. It also had another issue with the ice maker. The optical interrupter plastic slide switch had a mind of it's own. Whenever you closed the door, it would slide into the OFF position! I recall the words of the repairman upon seeing this as he shook his head, "bad design". Well at least if they're going to fail, they might as well from the get go instead of AFTER the "trial" period. Luckily we had ours taken back within our 14 day "extended" trial. I say that because once I knew we had problems that had to be repaired and would take a couple weeks to get parts in, I went to HHG and informed them of the situation and they agreed to extend the trial period till "after" repairs. If they would have said no, I was going to tell them to come pick it up immediately. Everyone should remember to do this when this situation arises. Actually I thought most trial periods were a standard 30 days? Just goes to show how they continue to squeeze for every advantage. What's really disgusting is that these units are still being offered to the public, when they are obviously defective. I imagine Whirlpool is implementing some damage control now. I understand the complexities of product design having worked in engineering. MEMO to Whirlpool: Before you release into the wild, test and VALIDATE your product better. That said, my other two kitchen appliances are Whirlpool. Please don't ruin your good name like Maytag did.
By the way, we got the similar Whirlpool Model WSF26D4EXY with the conventional unit ice maker as a replacement...fingers crossed.
