The condo we bought came with a fridge that had an ice maker. It's never worked. The water was on, it was hooked up. No idea why it doesn't work, but also don't use ice enough to care that much about it. I shut the water off.

Do never buy Samsung large appliances. Their repair supply chain is nonexistent and they have a shitload of design issue and the local appliance repair shops hate working with them so good luck with ‘warranty.’ I guess if you’ve got a garage fridge or some backup so you’re not without a fridge for months while waiting for parts it’s manageable if you really want an android tablet on your fridge.

I've had more trouble with it in the last year and a half than the combined lifetime total of every fridge I've ever known. I've pretty much given up on the ice maker ever working correctly. It just constantly made ice, even when there was no more space for ice. Then that stopped for some reason. Then the spinny part that makes the ice come out iced over and I decided I don't care enough to fix it. Doesn't seem to be causing me any trouble?

In the 36es, there's this GE GFD28GYNFS and then just a bunch of LGs, interestingly almost in order of price from highest to lowest with MSRPs from $3800 down to about $2400 after which the scores start to drop off quite a bit, so any LG in that range is probably fine.

It's well worth it when appliance shopping, do it. When I had to buy a "4 peice set" in late 2019 i will note that all appliances online have tons of hateful reviews, I ended up going to a few brick and mortar places, noted all prices are the same and just spoke to and bought from a place that's the most local, a regional chain with like 3 stores in my area.

If there is wood glue under those boards then the subfloor is not really going to be OK. If it's just used as grout you might be able to scrape it off.

Unless they're real unlucky with removal even the cheapest/thinnest underlayment should make up for the difference if they lose some of the top layer of ply. If there are larger sections that get screwed up using some self leveling fill works just fine.

Deviant posted:Do we have an appliance thread? My fridge has given up the ghost for the last time, and I'm looking to replace it. Oh yeah! I ordered that (or similar) GE side by side from Wayfair back in early November... hoping to see it delivered in the next few weeks! They had a sale for ~800$ on the black model, so 50/50 it just gets straight up cancelled  On samsung stuff, Yale Appliance Blog suggests that samsung is generally as reliable as other brands but they have squat for repair and parts chain which means the slightest serviceable thing makes your fridge doa, not to mention the infamous icemaker problems. You might find some of the rest of the Yale Appliance blog informative. I like that and Wirecutter for reviews and appliance info.

I’m not even sure how that happens. There was a post on /r/homeimprovement from someone who did that to their own floor. Spent a ton of time preparing and then apparently threw it out the window on install. It had a happy ending as they got help on reinstalling it and were able to salvage enough pieces for a proper install.

Gotta say an ice maker sounds like a pointless thing that just adds cost and complexity, definitely one of those things I have no problems living without. Gotta say the older I get, the more ascetic my tastes and preferences become.

It's perfectly fine to live without one as long as you don't have one or more people in your house, otherwise normal thoughtful people, who just can't take the extra 20 seconds to empty an ice tray into a bin and put more water in the tray.

Is that pergo? I cant tell, it looks like the older tongue and groove stuff that required glue and wrenches(?) to tighten the seams. I'm quite sure that whatever it is, it's supposed to float, that one has random screws through the middle of tiles. Wow that's so bad.

Desktop ice machines are also an option. My parents have one that looks like a bread machine and keeps them in constant supply of pellet “Sonic ice.”

Not all of us can just reach outside and grab all the ice we could ever want for 8 month of the year  My year or two old Frigidaire fridge has 2 ice makers and so far has been great except that the ice dispenser ice maker is really loud at 2am on occasion.

Well, you all made me curious so I removed a screw and pulled up a board. We've got the boards, a bit of underlayment, and what looks like the old floorboards (house is ~1840s). Upon closer inspection it's not glue between the joints, but grout? He did a bad job! We've got the same flooring in the bedrooms (minus the gaps and grout, but plus a bit of bounciness). I think he must have done the bedrooms and used his leftover scraps for the kitchen. Edit: now someone please talk me out of trying to restore the original floorboards instead of just putting in some vinyl Toebone fucked around with this message at 22:06 on Feb 2, 2021 |

Ice makers are awesome. I have one in my freezer that empties into a tray and I have a scoop so I can fill up whatever the hell I want with ice. Nothing beats cold fridge water poured over ice.

From our old busted fridge in the apartment we moved out of, I learned I can definitely live without the water dispenser but the ice maker is almost non-negotiable. I'm sure many people can just carry a tray full of water from the sink to the fridge without spilling it, but I'm not one of those people.

I dunno the mid nineties, it struggles to keep gas but the ice maker has never missed a beat. Had two Samsungs, ones maybe 7 years old no problems, the other's ice maker went loopy straight away but was replaced by an engineer at home under warranty, been fine since.

An 1840s construction home doesn't have "subfloor" unless this room was renoed to joists already. In cheaper construction it was cheaper wood/wider cuts/more poorly finished, which is why you looked "poor" unless you had carpets. In some specific construction they actually used nice wood on the sides only with lovely wide plank in the middle because that's where you put the rug. In all cases, this WAS the "subfloor" which wasn't a term because there was only one floor in the room. Motronic fucked around with this message at 00:55 on Feb 3, 2021 |

Are you saying that when I sell my house I can list it as gut renovated? I guess they had to do a lot of work to retrofit the hyrdonic heat. How did framing work without joists?

And I'm not sue what you mean by "How did framing work without joists?" It doesn't in "modern" construction even back then. I'm only talking about the number of layers of things on top of the joists here.

I am in new england. Sorry I read "renod to joists" to mean renovated to add joists, not renovated down to the joists. But that would make a lot more sense. I'm just having a hard time imagining that what I have below my hardwood floors could have ever been the actual floors of this house...the rest of the remaining original details of the house are way too nice for this garbage to have been the actual floor.
