Re: Home and garden projects
Samsung is recommending that consumers with affected models use the lower speed delicate cycle when washing bedding, bulky or water-resistant materials.
CPSC and Samsung are working on a remedy for affected consumers that will help ensure there are no further incidents. We will provide updated information to the public as soon as possible on this website. https://pages.samsung.com/us/top_load_washer/index.jsp Or you could send it to Pulaski to fix, it looks similar to his :fingerscrossed: |

After a few minutes, she felt what she explained to me as "a car driving into our house", the "whole house shook. She then discovered that the washing machine had "exploded". The top flew off the base, being held only by the plastic drain hose. there were pieces of the washing machine all over the floor. The machine jumped forward about 2 feet and turned 90 degrees. It slammed into the dryer, leaving a huge dent in the side of it. The force was so powerful, it ripped the electrical outlet from it's screws and bent it to the side. We are just doing laundry while the kid is at school now. I did think about bubble wrap. |

I can't imagine what the cost of labour will be to replace the gearbox on thousands of washing machines, never mind the cost of parts. I would have thought that offering people a credit for/towards a new machine would be cheaper for Samsung. |

The return period was 30 days, unfortunately that has now gone. Now it's wait for it to explode and get it repaired or replaced. Now I wish I had bought a cheaper washer.

Re: Home and garden projects
I thought about posting this in WTF. .....
So my manager walks into the office this morning, reaches into his computer bag and pulls out a bathroom tap. He knows I know a thing or two about plumbing, (and electrical things, and ....) and we were discussing the problem with his bathroom tap yesterday. So today he brought it in to work and asked me if I could dismantle it so he could replace the cartridge. :blink: It took me about 30s. :lol: |

Homedepot and Lowes are useless. Delta faucets seem to be the way to go as far as parts. |

Re: Home and garden projects
So... I was redoing the bathroom and had to remove one of those glued on mirrors.
I patiently pried the sides of it for two hours.... and then pulled too hard. The mirror ended up in a thousand pieces and I was glad to be wearing safety goggles. |

I tried piano wire. The glue was so hard it wouldn't cut.
Hypothetically it might have been possible to cut through the sheetrock and remove the mirror attached to a chunk of the wall, even that would depend on the size and strength of the mirror - a large mirror covering many screw holding the sheet risk to the studs and that likely wouldn't be possible either. |
Re: Home and garden projects
Hot glue gun then dental floss.
