GE’s latest foray into the filtered water arena is a cool idea (as long as you don’t lose that pitcher). Here’s a video …

GE’s New Ice Maker Kit
The IM6 ice maker kit is making way for progress with new kit number IM6D… which basically means they left out one of the old plugs that always came with the IM6 kit. If you still need the 4 pin adapter plug that used to come with the IM6, you’ll now have to order it …

In their undying crusade to make life for consumers more difficult… we have another manufacturer part number change from Frigidaire / Electrolux (not sure what to call them lately). The IM115 ice maker kit is now new number IM116000. We don’t know if there are any material changes but the price did go up a …
Top 16 Bake Elements (Part 2)
The next four elements in our sweet sixteen are from Frigidaire (now an Electrolux company). Frigidaire is still selling quite a few ranges in the US and they are mainly using an affordable element design. We used to call this first element the Dolly Parton bake unit. I’m not sure why, but Frigidaire decided to …
Our Top 16 Bake Elements (part 1)
As we enter the cooking season (November & December) we sometimes get requests for a list of our top selling bake elements. At some point, we narrowed the list down to 16. I think that had more to do with arraignment on a flyer than anything else, but it seems like a decent number so …

MWFP Water Filter Improvement
GE recently changed the part number on their most popular refrigerator water filter (the SmartWater MWF filter cartridge) to new part number MWFP. We were told that the “P” stood for pharmaceuticals. That sounds scary right? I don’t want any unknown pharmaceuticals in the water at my house! But didn’t the old MWF also filter …

MWFP Filter From GE To Replace MWF Water Filter
Years ago, GE changed their primary refrigerator water filter from the old, silver Culligan GWF to the new, plastic-bodied MWF cartridge. There were a few bumps along the way but, for the most part, this filter update was very successful. Now, GE is changing their flagship refrigerator water filter again. The old MWF filter is …
