GE Gas Oven Won't Heat - How to Test & Replace the Ignitor Easily!
We had a GE Gas stove that just seemed like it probably wasn't going to work right. So we decided to do a quick test on the ignitor system to see if it works or not. If you own a basic multimeter, this quick and easy test will show you if the affordable ignitor is bad, or if you may have other, more expensive problems.
Once we tested the GE oven ignitor and determined it was bad, I went ahead and replaced it to show you the difference before and after of what a good/bad system looks like to help you understand what to look for even if the ignitor seems to glow, but not fuel the system to heat your oven.
The ignitor I used in the video: https://bens-appliances.com/products/gr403-barrel-style-gas-oven-igniter?_pos=3&_sid=6a25a0a51&_ss=r

An Outdoor, All-Stainless Steel Refrigerator? IceJungle Refrigerator Review
A few months ago, a company offered me a refrigerator to test out and review. Rather than just take it out of the box and just review it without trying it, I sat it on my friends' deck for about 4 months with another, non-outdoor refrigerator beside it. I then review the refrigerator's basic functions. Its a very nice refrigerator for sure.
The refrigerator (Amazon): https://amzn.to/3RTX2Lv
**I did not get paid to do this video, but I did agree to create the video for IceJungle, and wanted to make good on my promise to review it after a reasonable amount of time passed, and the refirgerator held up to real-world conditions.**

Is the Maytag Commercial Washer the BEST EVER, or is It a HUGE SCAM? MVWP576KW1 Teardown & Review
I got in a brand new Maytag Commercial Washer & Dryer Set at my store. Having talked about them before, I thought it'd be a great idea to rip them apart to see what really makes them different than the other Whirlpool / Maytag units I've made 30 or 40 videos on.
However, in the process of filming & researching, I found out that this specific set is a huge scam due to the warranty that some stores don't include. I show off the warranty pages for this specific unit +

How to Remove Mold from a Washing Machine Door Seal
We've been looking for a way to remove mold from a washer door boot seal for a very long time. We've tried many alleged remedies and tried a new one, documenting it in the entire process. It worked extremely well, and here are the results for you to see.
Note that the chemicals used in this are pretty strong, so take all precautions and ensure you do not let them stay in the washing machine for very long due to their caustic nature. As mentioned near the end, you can always remove the door boot seal prior to using the chemicals. However, since I wasn't sure this was going to work, I went ahead and tried the solution on the unit itself to great results.

FAKE Appliance Brands? Who REALLY Makes Them & How it BURNS Your $$$
Who really makes your Washer or Dryer? The result may surprise you. In this video, I discuss a lot of the various brands and badges, and who really makes the unit in reality, so you can just go factory-direct, or source their budget model that has the same parts for hundreds, or in some cases, thousands of dollars less.
I am not as familiar with European brands and the inner workings of their manufacturers, so I would reserve an asterisk mark regarding all of the info I found out, just for safety sake.

GE Washer Won't Drain or Spin Dry Clothes Well - How to Fix With a Drill
There is a known defect with many modern GE Washing Machines like the one in the video. I want to show you the "Factory Fix" for this issue, but also go over a few other related common concerns for this style washing machine. The problem that's noted is that if the washer works and does drain water, but acts very strange when doing so, or when the washing machine spins the clothes at the end of the cycle, but does not fully spin the clothes out - both situations are hallmarks of this specific pressure port failure.

Are Washers Built to Break? Inside a 1984 Washer vs. Now
As offered and requested, I attempt to take apart 2 machines made by Whirlpool from their Clyde Ohio plant to show the differences as best I can between a modern Whirlpool Washing Machine, and an older style Kenmore-branded Washing Machine.
The teardowns didn't quite go the way I wanted them to, but hopefully, you get some ideas about the differences between these two systems. They both wash clothes, but certainly have a lot of different components involved!

Whirlpool Washer Won't Spin - How to Test and Fix
Today's machine is a Whirlpool Washer. If yours doesn't want to spin during operation, let's go through quite a few ideas to test components and fix your washing machines' issues.
In this video, you'll learn where to find your technician's manual, what the error codes mean, and which ones relate to the spin mode on this Whirlpool washing machine. I'll also show you how to force-test the spin and agitate modes to see if the machine really can spin, or if a part has truly failed. We'll also take a look at the components underneath, what they do, and how they could have caused the spin failure on the machine. The video is long, but I tried to be pretty extensive on the fixes.

Appliances Made to BREAK! What Should You Buy Built to LAST?
I've been asked hundreds of times "What appliance should I buy if I want it to last longer than what I already have?" Well, here you go. I decided to discuss this if you'd like to take 20 minutes to get some ideas.
DISCLAIMER: Everyone has different experiences with different brands and models. This list isn't exhaustive, nor perfect. I tried to list models that, in my OPINION are going to last longer than others, while not being unfathomably expensive like machines you'd only find at a laundromat that require hardmounts or really oddball requirements.
Models mentioned or referenced in the video that I'd buy if I needed new appliances. I am having trouble linking to most Appliance Connection products, so here are links through AJ Madison:

Learning to get into the manual parts testing mode of a Whirlpool Washer is very, very important as you can troubleshoot your Whirlpool washer much more easily. In this video, I show you how to enter the manual parts testing mode, and how to bypass the lidlock so you can view spin and agitation results without playing the guessing game.

This is a quick video on how to do it quickly and efficiently to get your washer back and working fast.

Frigidaire Gas Oven Won't Heat - How to Troubleshoot and Fix a Gas Stove in Easy Steps
Having a gas oven or gas stove that won't heat can cause a huge number of problems at home, but they tend to be really easy to work with, and the repairs usually are not that hard. Today, we got a Kenmore branded gas stove that won't heat in the oven, so I decided to test and fix it on camera. I go over the entire troubleshooting process of things to check to be comprehensive, and also give you some tips on the Frigidaire Oven Igniter replacement we used in the video, as the OEM version would have been way over $100.
Oven igniter I used: https://bens-appliances.com/products/universal-gas-stove-igniter-ig9998
Similar Igniter + More Mounting Hardware: https://bens-appliances.com/products/gr403-barrel-style-gas-oven-igniter?_pos=3&_sid=7825be65d&_ss=r
"Barrel Style" Igniter: https://bens-appliances.com/products/gr403-barrel-style-gas-oven-igniter?_pos=3&_sid=7825be65d&_ss=r
Style w/o Metal Cover: https://bens-appliances.com/products/wb13k10043-gas-oven-igniter
Note that this stove was Kenmore-brand, but was really a Frigidaire underneath. I may use the terms interchangeably in the video - most gas stoves are very similar however, and the tips will work for almost any brand.

How to Convert a Natural Gas Stove to Propane - Kenmore / Frigidaire Natural Gas Stove Conversion
If you need to convert your stove from natural gas to propane, its not too hard but is very daunting without knowing the exact steps. In this video, I install the needed parts to convert a Kenmore gas stove to propane / LP. This stove was actually built by Frigidaire, so it'll work for either brand, and most are generally the same.
Hopefully the ideas in the video help you, and also give you extra ideas if incase the fix goes a little awry, as we had a few screw issues during the modification, too.
