SadLGCustomer says "Don't buy LG!" about LG Dryer - Electric Dryer - DLE5955

SadLGCustomer — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 06:05:02 GMT

After having a Kenmore washer and dryer for over 12 years and zero problems we after reading all of the reviews we decided on a new LG washer/dryer which we purchased from RC Willey. Initially we were very pleased with the units but the dryer quit drying in less than 2 months. LG service is sub-standard, beware! I submitted a warranty claim on-line but after waiting 2 days for a contact called the toll-free number. I was told to clean a sensor and to call back if it didn't work. It did not work and in attempting to call back was put on hold over 15 minutes and then cut off. After repeating that twice finally reached a person. I was told a service call would be scheduled in two days and to follow-up with the repair firm. We call the repair company and they said they could not schedule us for over a week. We called LG back and was referred to another repair company who could schedule us in 5 days. The repairman came out and said a fuse in the unit had blown and he had...

MysteryReviewer says "Breaks Down, It Doesn't Dry it Damps!" about Whirlpool Duel Steam Dryer

MysteryReviewer — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 05:10:21 GMT

Bummer of a dryer WED6600VW0 broke down with in 5 months of delivery. Folks this is their the top of the line steam dryer, but it doesn't dry it damps!

That is a design flaw!

The wet sensor only works with full loads and isn't supposed to work during the timed settings...but does, the repair me told me.

Whirlpool is mum about the problem requireing a special order part, the control board, which took 10 days to arrive at the parts place.

Two techs have been out to check the dryer, the first saying it was fine and the dampness I'll need to learn to live with...and no comment about the design flaws, etc. He also confirmed the control board problem (same with the replacement dryer of the same model).

The control board is only suopposed to show the sensing on the upper cycles, not the timed cycle. After this guy left the dryer failed completely after another week.

Whirlpool people were called again and again, only to have them tell me that they would send aother tech out...and they herd...

onwaytozion says "The Whirlpool Supreme is a good, dependable dryer" about Whirlpool Supreme Heavy Duty/Super Capacity LER7646EQ0

onwaytozion — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 00:58:35 GMT

Soon after we moved into this house, the clothes dryer that came with it died. We wanted something dependable that would last, and we finally settled on the Whirlpool Supreme Heavy Duty/Super Capacity dryer. Nearly fifteen years later, we've never had a problem with it.

We didn't have the luxury of shopping around for the brand of the existing clothes washer; the local appliance stores didn't seem to carry it. It was an "extra large capacity" model, so our main requirement was finding a dryer with a large capacity too. We didn't want to split one load of wash into two dryer loads. Our Whirlpool Supreme was able to handle each load with room to spare.

The Whirlpool Supreme is front-loading with the lint filter located on the top of the machine, its obvious presence reminding you to clean the filter. The Automatic Dry-Miser cycle is the dryer cycle we use most often, ending with a Finish Guard (also called Wrinkle Guard on other brands; the machine occasionally spins the drum to keep wrinkles...

maggiemay321 says "I will never buy another Maytag dryer." about Maytag Dryer - Electric Dryer

maggiemay321 — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 04:33:39 GMT

I purchased the Maytag Legacy Series Dryer model number MED5770TQ0 from Home Depot in 2007 and have been unhappy with it for two years. While it is still working for the most part, I have had a repairman work on it seven different times. This model overheats easily and must sit about a foot from the wall which is very inconvenient. I'm always dropping things behind it and it takes forever to try and fish them our. The Sensor Dry control never seems to work properly. I'm just have to keep turning the dryer back on over and over. The filter in located on the top of the machine which makes a mess when you have to clean it out. The lint goes everywhere. Plus, it is one of the loudest dryers I have ever owned. My last dryer was a GE brand that lasted for eighteen years. I don't think this one will last another year at the rate it is going. I have to dry everything on low heat. If I use the high heat setting for heave items such as bulky towels, then they come out with a terrible smell. So next...

homeowner05701 says "not worth half the price" about Bosch 500 Series Nexxt Clothes Dryer WTMC3321US Nexxt 500 Series Electric

homeowner05701 — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 01:53:33 GMT

I'm sorry, I am not as disappointed with the dryer as I am the Nexxt 500 series washer, but the dryer is no prize either. The clothes just don't get dry enough, and the lint drawer is horrible, the lent falls below it and also gets trapped in the slits....just not an appliance I would purchase again.

Plus from a lot of experience I can tell you Bosch is not a good company to deal with, especially if you have a complaint, they basicaly say "there is nothing they can do" to every issue you will have. Save yourself a lot of money and frustration

DMcKin says "Questionable to Stack" about Samsung Gas Dryer DV328

DMcKin — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 02:42:56 GMT

Purchased VRT steam washer and gas dryer for relocation to second floor and have the pair stacked in a very tight space. Regardless of how quiet the machines are, moving them upstairs next to our bedrooms is unquestionably louder than when older machines were in the basement. After six weeks of average use (family of four; six loads a week), the dryer stopped heating as the igniter fryed. The initial service representive suggested this to be a rare occurence, stating he only replaces 2 -3 a year. Turns out that the samsung dryer does not use a standard igniter and the part needed to be special ordered. The service rep who came back the following week to install the new igniter suggested this to be a frequent occurence on washer / dryer sets that are stacked as the igniter is quite sensitive and the washer vibrations tend to cause the part to break. Jury is still out on final determination; next time it breaks I'll respond (hopefully you don't hear from me again!)....

mariannemat5 says "It takes one and a half drying cycles to get a few things dry." about GE Super Capacity Electric Dryer

mariannemat5 — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 18:39:52 GMT

This GE "super capacity" electric dryer is the worst dryer I've ever had. I have always gotten hand-me-down washer and dryers from other family members. But when my fiance and I moved into our new home, we bought the GE set. I've had dryers that were over 10 years old that dried clothes faster. Its terrible. You can only put about half the load from the washer into the dryer, and depending on what you're drying, it can take anywhere from one and half to two full cycles to finally get them dry. Wish I hadn't wasted my money, and kept the old Kenmore set.

FamilyGuyFan says "I Can't Stop Thinking About You" about GE Profile Harmony

FamilyGuyFan — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 16:33:48 GMT

Ahhhh the ole profile dryer.. Sits right next washer with the same name.. Cool thing is the washer and dryer talk via a usb cable. The dryer pretty much sets itself. It knows what kind of clothes you washed and how much the load of clothes weighed and figures out how long it will take to dry.

This thing is pretty quiet and powerful. My only complaint is when you dry something big like a king comforter it almost never comes out completely dry. Other than that this thing drys like a champion. Had this for over a year and have had no problems at all with it.

Can handle a lot of clothes at one time!

pitcherday says "Roper Washing machine takes many cycles to dry clothes" about Roper Heavy Duty Extra Large Dryer by Whirlpool

pitcherday — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 19:48:47 GMT

When I moved into my new apartment, they had these Roper washer and dryers installed. After using them for a few months, I took the washer and dryer I owned out of the garage, put the Ropers in the garage and now I am happy! For the record, the washer and dryer I own are Whirlpools - real Whirlpools, not the Roper, which is the lowest quality washer and dryer made by the Whirlpool company.

This is the Roper Heavy Duty Extra-large capacity model. It has 5 cycles: timed dry on low and high heat, and auto sense dry. Auto sense is for more dry, less dry, and a setting with a star which supposedly lets the dryer judge when your clothes are dry. The timed dry only goes up to 30 minutes, both for high and low heat. It buzzes when the cycle is over.

It's not extra large capacity. It's no bigger than any other dryer at that price point, and nothing to write home about. And if you do load it up, it takes more than one drying cycle (sometimes up to four) to dry the clothes completely. Even with loads...

Caprig says "It Don't Need A Cane Yet- Still Goin' Strong" about Maytag Neptune Dryer

Caprig — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 17:25:44 GMT

One of my pet peeves for years was clothes dryers. Either they would run too hot, or too cold, or they would take FOREVER to dry clothes.

Back around 1999, my washer bit the dust and we decided to try to see if we could get a front loader to replace it. We found an amazing deal on a Maytag Neptune washer and were thrilled that it worked well.

To match our washer, we bought a gas dryer (we always had electric before that) and we got the matching Neptune Dryer. It was the best move we ever made.

WHAT IS THE NEPTUNE GAS DRYER LIKE?

The MAYTAG NEPTUNE DRYER is a very large drum dryer. It is meant to take large capacity loads from the NEPTUNE WASHER which is about 1 1/2 times the size of a normal top loader load of laundry.

The MAYTAG NEPTUNE DRYER has an internal sensor in it which stops the dryer when the clothes are just about perfectly dry. This means that I don't have to have my clothes fried or left sopping when it is done. This is a separate setting on the dryer- it can be...

thekwongster says "LG Customer Service - why bother" about LG WM3001HRA Electric Dryer

thekwongster — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 21:10:17 GMT

I purhcased an LG Steam Washer and Driyer less than 3 weeks ago. So far they are working fine. While learning how to use some of the controls, I found that 1 accessory was missing - the liquid detergent tray. I went back to Home Depot and found that they were going to charge me for the part. I called LG and they say the same thing......

My perspective is that I spent almost $3K and they can't send me a tray that probably costs 75 cents to make. I was given a number to Home Depot Parts and also call LG. LG was no help; they gave me info to their distributor (they're not 24x7 shop). The distributor have a website but I don't have a part number to perform a search and their site is not user friendly.

The product seem to be very good but the Corporate policies and customer service need a lot to be desired. No one told me that the part is missing and I have no idea that the part exists as part of the washer.

heatherfeather34 says "don't consider" about Kenmore Elite Dryer- Oasis Steam

heatherfeather34 — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:06:00 GMT

We purchased our Kenmore Elite White Oasis ST 7.6 cu. ft. Capacity Gas Dryer on March 31st 09. I was excited to get this new dryer as I picked out what I thought was the top of the line kenmore dryer with the steam function. I have been disappointed in a few major areas, and majorly disappointed with Sears lack of concern for the issues I have brought up to them.

Installation
We had the Kenmore Elite White Oasis ST 7.6 cu. ft. Capacity Gas Dryer installed on April 2nd. I got a call that morning and was told that my supposed "multivent" dryer could not be vented on the right like it indicates on their website but only in the back. Ok so I gave up on that and bought an adapter from Lowes to make it work. I noticed though that there website still has not been corrected as of today. Aug 13th. So be aware that this dryer only vents in the back no matter what the info says

Using the dryer
The Kenmore Elite White Oasis ST 7.6 cu. ft. Capacity Gas Dryer works great to dry my clothes. It has multiple...

w12wills says "MY FIRST TIME HEARING ABOUT IT " about Fisher & Paykel DG09-US7

w12wills — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 09:20:35 GMT

My first experience with Fisher & Paykel was when I purchased the washer first. This was almost like a foreign language to me and I had a little reluctance in trying it out. I had never heard of this brand before and I knew of no one who was the proud owner of a Fisher & Paykel appliance. I was flying by the seat of my pants, though, I did land upright on my feet. Once I purchased the washer and I liked it, I said it's time for the dryer to complet the set.

On August 1, 2009, I went to the Sears Outlet Store, made the purchase of my new Fisher & Paykel dryer and brought my baby home. I have been happy ever since. Each morning I get up and walk through my basement, I take a look at it and say, "What a handsome Twosome!" The performance of it is great and it is aestheticly pleasing to look at as well.

Sometimes, you have to take a gamble in order to be a winner. I did not lose as I took my leap of faith, now it's me, Fisher & Paykel all the way.

hurrytimer says "GE Large Capacity Dryer" about GE Super Capacity Electric Dryer

hurrytimer — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 13:52:09 GMT

Where do I start about GE's Large Capacity Dryer. Well, I thought it was useful for me being so large inside to hold more clothing, but I was wrong. While, it does hold quite a bit of clothing loads, it just is not capable of handling a large dryer load in a regular cycle. I tested it actually and put a larger than normal load in it and it took longer to dry it. Plus, within one month we had a power surge in our neighborhood and the thermostat went out in it. It was brand new and we only used it twice a week! I was very disappointed in the fact that it already had issues with it in that short amount of time. We did call customer service and they did send someone out to replace the part, but now it has me wondering when is the next time it will go out like this. The part they replaced was over $50. So, I am now thinking of selling this brand new dryer and getting a different brand altogether. GE makes some great appliances and maybe they are not for me and my family.

Butterflyeffxx says "A great dryer for the right price!" about Admiral Dryer

Butterflyeffxx — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 07:18:09 GMT

I am a stay at home mom and my child is almost a year old. So needless to say i have to tons of laundry due to him learning how to feed himself! I recently had to buy a new dryer and i purchased the Admiral Dryer. I did my research and found out Whirlpool makes Admiral. The dryer is about $200.00 less than Whirlpool but works just as great. It has all your basic settings what else could you possibly need? It is energy effcient and dries a normal load within a 30 to 40 minute time range. Im very pleased with this product!

katy461 says "good basic dryer" about Admiral Dryer

katy461 — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 21:13:46 GMT

I bought this dryer because let's be honest, it was the cheapest dryer at Home Depot. I have had the dryer for about two months and haven't had a major problems.

The dryer has most of the standard features you would expect on a basic dryer. There is a sensor dry which works well for the most part. I find it gets most of the clothes dry and actually did fairly well with getting my entire comforter dry. The energy prefered setting works well on most loads. The capacity on the dryer is decent but not outstanding.

The downside to the dryer is it is a bit loud, you will hear when its going if you are near by.

I can't really attest to how the dryer does with delicate items, I hang dry mine as a matter of principle.

Overall, I would recommend the dryer if you just need a dryer in general. I have no idea how it woud do in a large household or with a lot of use. But it solved my needing a dryer problem.

angelgran1 says "Doesn't dry in timeframe I've read and heard about." about Whirlpool Duet Dryer

angelgran1 — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 20:20:40 GMT

I purchased a Whirlpool Duet Dryer the first of this year (2009) and have not been completely satisfied. The clothes usually do not get dried even at high heat for 35-40 minutes. This dryer has been advertised as drying in just over 30 minutes. I do admit the exhaust hose has a curve in it, but would this be causing the problem? I had purchased my other dryer as used for $75.00 in 2001 and it was working fine, drying completely, except I was concerned about electricity efficiency. Now, I'm worried even more since this is a new dryer and is supposed to be energy efficient. Otherwise, I do like the dryer.

rjwysong1954 says "Kenmore 400 electric dryer" about Kenmore 400 5.9 cu. ft. Capacity Electric Dryer

rjwysong1954 — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 02:28:31 GMT

I absolutely love my new Kenmore 400 electric dryer. I purchased it in April 2009 along with the matching washer. The dryer is a great basic dryer. I didn't need one with all sorts of fancy bells and whistles - just a good basic dryer. I like this better than any of the other clothes dryers that I've had over the years. I use it with a fabric softener sheet to fluff up my bed pillows. It dries a queen size comforter with no problems. No matter what I've put in my dryer it comes out as wrinkle free as you can get for the particular type of fabric. It doesn't get too hot for the fabrics I have used. I have used dry cleaning kits in their for wool sweaters, coats and other non washable items. I've never had any problems with the dryer in this area either. Wonderful! I would highly recommend this dryer to my friends and family.

wldwoods says "I love the Affinity 6700 series washer and dryer" about Frigidaire Affinity Front Load Dryer

wldwoods — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 00:19:01 GMT

I have the Frigidaire Affinity 6700 series washer and dryer. I bought these from sears in June of 2009. Now that I have had these for 3 months. I love them both. The washer is so quiet, you hardly know its running. Mine are on a concrete floor in my basement. The spin is not a problem. You cannot here upstairs the signal when its done thought. That is not very loud. The soap from sears works well. It lasts a long time. I like the dryer also. Sometimes heavy jeans needs to go alittle longer than the heavy duty cycle. But that is quiet also. But all in all I love both of these. I would tell anyone that they would be happy with these units.
