Dishwasher Troubleshooting

Machine does not start. 
Power cable is unplugged. Check if the power cable is plugged in. 
Cicuit Breaker is blown. Check the Cicuit Breaker in your house. 
Water is cut. Make sure that the water inlet tap is open. 
Door of the machine is open. Make sure that you have closed the door of the machine. 
On / Off button is not pressed. Make sure that you have turned on the machine by pressing the On / Off button. 

Dishes are not washed clean 
Dishes are not placed orderly in the machine. Load the dishes as described in the user manual. 
Selected program is unsuitable. Select a program with a higher temperature and cycle time. 
Wash arms are stuck. Prior to starting the program, turn the lower and upper Wash arms by hand to make sure that they rotate freely. 
Wash arms holes are clogged. Lower and upper Wash arms holes might be clogged with small food particles and debris. Clean the Wash arms regularly. 
Filters are clogged. Check if the filter system is clean. Clean the filter system regularly. 
Filters are installed incorrectly. Check the filter system and make sure that it is installed correctly. 
Baskets are overloaded. Do not overload the baskets in excess of their capacity. 

Dishes are not dry at the end of cycle 
Dishes are not placed orderly in the machine. Place your dishes in a way that no water will accumulate in them. 
Rinse aid is not sufficient. Check the rinse aid indicator and add rinse aid if necessary. Increase the rinse aid setting if there is enough amount of rinse aid in the machine. 
Machine is unloaded right after the program is over. Do not unload your machine right after washing process is completed. Slightly open the door and wait for evacuation of the steam inside for a while. Unload the dishes after the pieces cool down to a touchable level. Start unloading process from the lower basket. Thus, dropping of water remained on a piece at upper basket onto the pieces at lower basket is prevented. 
Selected program is unsuitable. Since rinsing temperature is low at program with short duration, drying performance will also be low. Select program with longer duration for a higher drying performance. 

Stains remaining on dishes when cycle has completed. 
Selected program is unsuitable. Select a program with a higher temperature and cycle time. 
Surface quality of the kitchen utensils is deteriorated. Tea and coffee stains or other dye spots may not be cleaned in dishwasher when they have penetrated in deteriorated surfaces. Desired washing performance can not be obtained at kitchen utensils with deteriorated surfaces and it is not suitable to use such utensils in terms of hygiene as well. It is not recommended to wash such kitchen utensils in dishwasher. 
Detergent is stored under unsuitable conditions. If you are using powder detergent, do not store the detergent package in humid places. Keep it in a closed container if possible. For ease-of-storing, we recommend you to use tablet detergents. 

There is a different odor in the machine 
Filters are clogged. Check if the filter system is clean. Clean the filter system regularly. 
Dirty dishes are kept in dishwasher for 2-3 days. If you are not going to start the machine right after you have put the dishes into it, remove the remnants on the dishes and run the Prewash program without detergent every 2 days. In such cases, do not close the door of the machine completely in order to avoid odor build up in machine. You can also use commercially available odor removers or machine cleaners. 

Water remains in the dishwasher at the end of the program. 
Filters are clogged. Check if the filter system is clean. Clean the filter system regularly. 
Discharge hose is clogged/blocked. Check the discharge hose. If necessary, remove the discharge hose, clear the blockage and insert is as illustrated in the user manual.

Range Troubleshooting

Oven temperature too hot or too cold.  
Oven thermostat needs adjustment 
Adjust the oven thermostat. 

Top burners do not light or do not burn evenly 
Plug on range is not completely inserted in the electrical outlet 
On models with electric ignition, make sure electrical plug is plugged into a live, properly grounded outlet. 
Burner holes on the side or around the top of the burner may be clogged. 
Remove the burners and clean them with a safety pin or paper clip. Make sure you do not enlarge the holes. 
Burners may not be fitted correctly onto mounting brackets. 
Remove the burners and reinstall them properly. 

Burners have yellow or yellow-tipped flames 
The combustion quality of burner flames needs to be determined visually. 
Determine if your burner flames are normal. With LP gas, some yellow tipping on outer cones is normal. 

Burner flames very large or yellow 
LP gas is improperly connected. 
Check all steps in the Installation of the range section. 

Oven will not work 
The thermostat capillary bulb must be clean and unobstructed. 
Make sure the thermostat capillary bulb (located in the upper portion of the oven) is in the correct position, not touching oven sides and not coated with anything.

Oven control improperly set.  
See the Using the oven sections 
Incorrect cookware or cookware of improper size being used. 
Oven bottom not securely seated in position. 

Strong odor 
Improper air/gas ratio in the oven.

It is sooooo quiet!!! We were worried after reading all the reviews about it being noisy ! They must have done something to address that issue because this is the quietest fridge we've ever had. It is perfect for our 1903 kitchen -standing 75" tall , counter depth and 27" wide ( which is wider than we expected) but ultimately offers adequate space for our needs while making our kitchen feel spacious , functional and beautiful-

We've had this Summit for 14 months and it is everything Summit advertises: quiet, efficient, sleek,well-made, and easy to care for, even in a busy cooking household. (No finger-smudge problem with this brand.) The interior is extremely well-organized. It holds more food than our previous, larger-capacity fridge, all within easy reach. We have a stand-alone freezer in the pantry so the limited storage capacity of the freezer compartment is not a problem. The price and quality make this an excellent option to achieve a streamlined look in the kitchen without the cost of high-end models or built-ins. HC Cost was a great seller to work with--they went the extra mile for customer satisfaction and delivery all the way out here in the PacNW ski country.

Kind of a retro fridge in many ways but a really nice looking unit. Cooling tubes in the back like I remember from years ago. The auto defrost feature leaves frost and ice drops on the back wall of the fridge inside the upper compartment. This ice apparently melts and drains into a drain hole in the bottom rear of the upper compartment. We have had it in service for a few weeks and it seems to work great, and is very quiet. The only thing I don't like is that it doesn't have an ice maker option, so you have to make ice the old fashioned way in trays. The best thing about the fridge for us, is that it fits in the space we have available for it. (It's an older home built in 1938 and we didn't want to change the fridge compartment size.) It's the only one we could find that had a bottom freezer compartment and a narrow width. As advertised, it is only cabinet depth so it doesn't stick way out into the room like some fridges do. Over all, we are very pleased with our purchase. The price was right. The purchase and shipping were handled without a hitch.

I am in love with this range. First, it's very modish and gives a great look to our kitchen. But most importantly, it's very functional. Burners are very adjustable. The oven is great as well and heats up quickly. Very easy to clean and looks new again.

This refrigerator ended up being the highlight of my new kitchen. I was skeptical purcahsing a refrigerator unseen and off of Amazon. Here is my experience: I went to three appliance stores. They all had large refrigerators on the floor for to look at. None had the size I wanted on the floor for me to touch and see. Therefore, I would be ordering sight unseen from any source. Talk to your local appliance folks about their shipping. Amazon was fast and with Amazon Prime definietly cheaper. All three local stores would be ordering my fridge and I thought their wait times were a risk to my and keeping my kitchen reno on schedule (time equals money to a contractor). As for this fridge, I needed the door swing changed. I did hire a local handyman and it took him about 35 minutes. The directions were in detailed/detail. All the parts for changing the door swing were provided. That was as smooth as it gets. I needed specific dimensions, and Summit was the only manufacturer I could find that made these. I am so happy I got the Summit. I am a short 5'1" and I can get to everything on the top shelf. The inside is small. I thought I would not like this. However, I found I only eat what I know is there, and with this fridge you can see everthing! I love, love, love that. I purchase some clear baskets for the inside, since they only come with two. For the two drawers that come with the unit, they slide on their bottoms on the base of the refrigerator. I purchased some super slick tape off Amazon (uselful throughout the house) and made two runners on the bottom of each drawer. They slide like a dream. I like this 100 times better than traditional drawers that slide by a rim at the top, because the kind I grew up with were always a trick to take out and wash and then get back into place on the rails provided. The Summit solution with my slick tape rails on the bottom are a cinch and avoids frustration. I must say that the feezer does have some ice formations due to humidity. And, the freezer is not super cold. That might be operator error. I should be playing with the temperature settings. There are no door shelves in the freezer. I wasnt expecting that, since most freezers have shelves on the door. However, this being a bottom freezer, I found that I would have hated shelves on the freezer door. Instead I bought some clear shoe boxes from the dollar storeto corral my little stuff. Now I just pull the box onto the counter where I can conveniently rumish through the contents. That works out better. The refrigerator has four full shelves. My old fridge only had three, so I think this is a luxury. I cannot hear my fridge at all. I live in a small condo, so that was a concern. Nope, cannot hear it. To be fair, my kitchen reno has this fridge with cabinets built around it with room for air flow, and maybe that is why there is no noise. I know it is on because the stuff id cold and the light comes on. The other thing that I really like is how easily it slides. I can easilly slide it (remember I am short) even when it is full of contents. Seeeet! I've never had that in a fridge. And it looks great. And having a cabinet depth fridge makes the kitchen appear bigger. My friends and neighbors all swear that I changed the footprint of my kitchen (we know the secret was this fridge). Lastly, this cabinet depth fridge did not go wide to make up for the space, but rather went tall. That was genious and I am benefiting! Who wants to conserve space above the fridge? In a show of hands, not many. However, any width eats into my counterspace, and I love counterspace. Having a taller fridge rather than a wider one is awesome. Believe me when I say that every shelf on this fridge, all the way to the top and back is accessible without having to stand on my toes. I hightly recommend this fridge

All the woes these people are complaining about seem self-inflicted. Yes, open the lint trap at the bottom of the machine with a full tub and you will get a flood; it's a wet lint trap, not a dry one like we Yanks are used to. Even without the tub full a little water comes out. Maybe a cup. Catch it in a cookie sheet and you'll be fine. Stuff it too full and it will not dry...at all. No room for air to circulate. I dont know what they're saying about noise. I personally watched ours run for 30 minutes today and you can barely hear it. Its certainly quieter than the Frigidaire front loaders we have in other units and in our house (that have not been without their issues too). Bottom line: this is probably the best combo washer dryer unit on the market, and it appears reliable. Our experience with it proves it. We wouldnt hesitate to buy another.

I've had my washer/dryer combo 8 months. There are a lot of bad reviews but I'm pretty satisfied with mine. I use it in my camper. It's definitely a space saver. I have not had a single problem with it not functioning properly. It's worked great since day one! This is NOT a normal washer/dryer. This was designed for places that are not meant for standard washers. It is 110v. Which means its not going to have the power of a normal washer. That is stated in the description BEFORE you buy it. A little common sense will tell you that as well. The description also states the capacity is 13 lbs. That is clearly not an average size load. What do you expect from a space saving machine. compact means compact! So again, you know this before you buy it. The only thing I have a problem with not getting dry all the way with a normal wash is jeans and towels. They are heavier items. I usually have to dry those loads an extra hour. I usually put about 4-5 pair of my husbands jeans in one load. That may be another reason they need an extra hour to dry. Washing cottons, I can get quite a bit in the wash and it dries just on a normal cycle. The thing I DO NOT like is when my clothes come out of the machine, they are extremely wrinkled. So you have to iron just about everything. We are living in our 34 ft camper while having our house built so I've used this a lot. It's been awesome having it and saves trips to the laundromat. It's ventless so it can go in just about any space with a drain nearby. A lot of people are leaving bad reviews. But a lot are complaining about things they knew before they bought it. I recommend buying vibration pads for the machine because it is light weight and will vibrate more then a standard washer. Could be because I have mine in a camper but not sure.

We recently purchased this frig for our small, 1950s kitchen, which we've somewhat remodeled with grey, white and black tile and a new countertop. The Summit frig was an excellent addition. It is modern looking (because it is stainless) and it is unusually tall -- making up for space lost by it's both shallow (counter-depth) and narrow design. I am 5'1" and can reach all of the interior. It is perfect for our family of two, and I cook 6-7 dinners a week. Because it is shallow, food is easy to find/see. The door holds a lot (though when using all racks, only the bottom one holds anything really tall, like a bottle of wine). The horizontal wine rack is removable. Having the freezer on the bottom is handy -- most people use their refrigerator many times a day and their freezer only occasionally. The ice cube tray is an oddity: it is large but only holds Summit's special small-sized ice cube trays. No worries -- I just use regular ice cube trays elsewhere in the frig. (This model doesn't have an ice maker, and I didn't need one as there's no plumbing in that part of my kitchen.) Originally, I didn't want to purchase a frig without seeing it first, but box and home improvement stores don't carry it in the store, and though there were other sellers with it, they were typically commercial. Since I compared it to several similar types and had read so many positive reviews, and because it was reasonably priced (particularly when compared to a $3K refrigerator), I took the plunge. I am so glad I did. The Summit replaced a crummy, short-and-squat-and-deep refrigerator. Even though it was larger cubic square foot -wise, it was awful to find anything and it took up way too much space. I highly recommend this refrigerator for anyone with a small kitchen.
