Buying/installing replacment appliance

Our 20 year old combo wall oven/microwave has failed. I'm looking to replace but can not find a model that has the same cutout dimensions as the current unit (to fit into the existing cabinets). How close to the measurements of the existing unit do I need to be? What are my options short of replacing the entire cabinet?

The problem with replacing these oven/microwave combos is that you can’t find these combos anymore. What you will probably find is that a single oven is too short and a double oven is too tall. I hope you find something but I think you will have to have major cabinetwork in order to replace this. Build-in appliances are nice but replacing can sometimes be a pain!

Frigidaire Dishwasher Won't Start

B

bucs_hothead on Nov 17, 2005

I tried searching first but no luck, so here's my first post. Tuesday night everything worked fine. Last night, Wednesday, my wife loaded the dishwasher, added soap, and shut the door, but then something strange happened.....NOTHING! Nothing happened. I checked the breakers and water and everything seems fine. Is there some sort of surge protector on the dishwasher that may be tripped? Some sort of reset button? I'm at a loss here, I couldn't see anything out of the ordinary, and clearly nothing changed over night. We had a thunderstorm Tuesday night/Wednesday morning so I thought maybe it had surged, but I just don't know. :wall: It's a Frigidaire, model number FDB710LCS0. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Help! Frigidaire freezer thawing!

C

cheese on Apr 11, 2009

Hello, I have a Frigidaire model FFU20FC6AW4 upright commercial freezer, about 5 years old. I just noticed the red "alarm" light is on, and some water on the floor in front of it. I opened it and it is thawing (OMG! The wife has lots of veggies she bought from farmers and blanched them and foodsavered them). I checked and the compressor is hot, but not coming on. It is buzzing, then something clicks (overload protector I assume) and it quits, then after a while it buzzes again. Where the wires connect to the comressor, there is a black module held on with a bail wire. I unplugged it, and there is a burned hole at the top of it. There is also a spade terminal above this connector. Obviously something burnt up...wondering if something even connected to this spade terminal? I am assuming this "module" is a relay and capacitor all in one unit? If so, does anyone know what I can do to get it back on? I don't know if I can find parts today or not, being a holiday weekend, but I can try. If not, can this be remedied with a conventional starting capacitor? If so, how, and what size capacitor do I need? Sheesh...my last deep freeze was a model from the 1960s, and it lasted 40 years and probably could have kept going. This one is a $500+ commercial unit and all I get is 5 years? Any input would be appreciated!!!! I'm about to have a mess on my hands!Read More
