dirt / build up on front loader glass door
Comments (26)Thanks for all the insight everyone. I've been experiencing some major problems with the washer recently, which backup your theories about the glass door scratches. Namely, when the washer gets out of balance the tub is moving so far in every direction that it seems to be hitting the exterior of the washer! Or at least that's what it sounds like. I've taken a close look when it gets crazy out of balance like this, and while I've never caught the tub hitting the glass, it looks to come pretty close. It also causes the gasket to ripple like crazy as the tub moves back and forth towards the door. Obviously something is wrong with the washer. I never noticed this behaviour during my first loads in the machine which caused the scratches, but I wasn't sticking around to pay attention to the wash cycles at that time like I am now. The balance problem / tub movement seems to be getting worse with each use of the machine! I wonder if each time it goes out of balance it is damaging the (presumably already damaged) suspension each time? I'm wondering if it was defective from day 1, or if the delivery people did something wrong. When they came on delivery day they unboxed the washer and dryer on the street, lay them down on their backs, screwed on the pedestals, then brought them in the house upright on dollies. I didn't see if they removed the shipping bolts before or after bringing the machine into the house. In any case, I went to Sears and told the salesperson what's going on. I also brought a video I took on my phone of the spin cycle going nuts and hitting all over the place. He watched the video for just a few seconds and said from the sound of it he could immediately tell something was wrong. He ordered a new unit to exchange this one, so hopefully all will be operating normal soon....See MoreComputer glasses- no more broken neck!
Comments (14)I wear progressive lenses. My old glasses had a very small bifocal/midrange area and to properly see the monitor, I was tipping my head way back to use the bottom of the lenses and sometimes I was pushing my glasses up so I didn't have to tip back so far. It was truly damaging my neck and giving me headaches. So when I got my eyes examined, I asked for a Rx for computer glasses. And they're great! The top part of the lenses are good for about arm's length plus a few inches. The bottom is for reading and keyboard. Perfect also for sewing, I can even watch TV in them, but the clarity is a little less than perfect. Since I used frames I already had, they didn't cost too darn much, but still weren't cheap since I have to get high-index lenses, so they'll be a bit thinner. And I don't know of any optical schools here in our area, so the local optical places are my only choices. What I thought was so great about these PC Peekers is their price and the convenience of them, portable but not permanent. If you wear glasses and have trouble seeing your monitor with your glasses on, I think these would be a great, affordable solution....See MorePlease help! Broken glass top on Bosch dual fuel!

Comments (2)Not sure, but waiting to hear from Bosch about the work. It's possible that using anyone other than a certified Bosch repairman will void the warranty -- which has 7 months left on it. Bosch is also checking to see if it will be covered under warranty. Probably not, but still checking........See MoreReplacement of broken glass on my outdoor pyramid heater
