Gas line sealed off per code. Plumber told me I need to get an anti-tip device for the stove too, one has been ordered. Also had him seal off the natural gas outlet on my back patio, which should have been sealed off awhile ago. (Line goes under the patio and may have been leaking before I shut off the janky secondary valve a few years ago). #appliances
The blender bottle has been a thing you've been able to take on the go, but Ninja's latest take on the tech is all about giving you a proper way to drink: a tall glass of smooth(ie). https://www.pickr.com.au/news/2026/ninja-makes-the-blender-a-tumbler-to-go #appliances #home #news #blenders #ninja #sharkninja

Reading the instructions now...

"Do not use plastic to cover food. Use foil or oven-safe lids only...

Never attempt to dry a pet in the oven"

Installed and running! Boiled a pot of water. Gas definitely needs to be capped, the pipe extends out and you can't push the stove all the way in. Also needs to be capped per code. #inductionrange #appliances
New-to-me LG LSE4617 has been obtained (via the miracle of the Fediverse and ham radio fellowship), and a proper electrical cable purchased and connected to the induction range. Tomorrow, will remove the old gas stove and connect the induction range (cross fingers it all works, lol). #appliances

This might be a long shot...

Can anyone in Calgary recommend a good place to buy a new/reliable/3-5 cu ft freezer (upright or chest). Don't need designer/smart, just a functioning appliance. Researching at the moment, not in immediate need.

Our dishwasher (a Kenmore Elite circa 2010) accumulates a lot of scale, which I have never been able to to clean effectively. I scrub the filter every few weeks, but there is so much silt in the filter & drain zone that I can't easily reach, so it immediately re-coats the filter. I'm amazed it drains at all, and that our dishes and glassware seem to come out clean! Although we do pre-wash everything that goes in.

White vinegar (and a lot of elbow grease) works best to clean the filter itself. Will it work to run the washer with white vinegar? I'm afraid that would damage the already-old gaskets. Is there a more reliable & safe approach?

Many #CambridgeMA residents and businesses blame the municipal water for ruining appliances. Hardness is around 70 ppm Ca & Mg, which I believe makes it slightly to moderately hard. (I know I should flush our hot water heater tank more often.)

I swore I checked this before, but yes, I have a live 240V circuit back behind the stove. (There's also a disgusting amount of food bits and crud back there... ewww) #appliances
