Have a LG front loader for a few years now. No problem with cleaning.

Anyone have issues with lg washers that use less water for the environment but dont clean clothing properly? Its a new gorgeous piece, just wont clean. Thanks

Many HE top loaders have issues because they prioritize conserving water so highly that the clothes at the top don't even get wet. I thought it was mainly a Samsung issue (which is why I cancelled my order back when they were 90% off) but wouldn't be surprised if LG had it too. Youtube has video reviews where people share how they deal with the issue (by pausing it in mid cycle to empty a gallon bottle of water inside). The way I would deal with it is return/warranty/junk.

That's why most people get front loaders these days.

What model? You don't want to do it yourself?

Sounds like the others are working? Do you see any dirt build up?


Thanks!
Is there a way to know which one to buy?  Or do I do my usual: take out the bad part, bring to store, get the same thing.
Google your model number and many part stores should come up, click on one of them. Then scroll down until you find your igniter and then Google that exactly igniter online where to buy.

  It can be a round or a square ignitor depending on your oven model.

Check the gap. Often the parts are fine but due to moving the grill around the "plug" can be shaken out of alignment.

You can swap the ignitors on the burners to see if anything changes. This way you can tell if it is just dirt or you need a new module.

I just got a new Central AC outdoor and Indoor unit. My new outdoor unit (5 tons, Goodman) has a puddle underneath it and there is a puddle inside at the bottom of  the unit. Is this normal? My ac guy texted me its fine but I am nervous as its brand new and my old one didnt do this. Any insight?

The large (low pressure) refrigerant line will sweat. It will be insulated for this reason. This is probably were the puddle is coming from. Above my pay grade to know if this is normal.

Do you see white ice building up on the compressor after its been working for a while? You need to look inside the unit, thru the fan..

Placing a 220 AC Unit on a 110V line.

   I know it's not supposed to be done, can causing electric fire the fuse to blow and ...

 What would be an option to get a 220 ac to work ?
 Change the whole line to a 220 and the breaker?

 Now for a friend who is not going to change and be busy snaking new wiring and a new breaker, probably his best bet would be to get a 110 AC?

Yes. Running a 220 AC on a 110 is insane. Can the AC be converted to 110?
