Washing machine suddenly very noisy tonight. LG front-loader, probably close to 10 years old. Went to check on it and found the wash tub is full of smoke and smoke is pouring out of the detergent tray. So I'm guessing it's the main tub bearing, which repair clinic sells for $20 but says it is a

In my experience the standard household CFL and LED bulbs don't last any longer than the now illegal old incandescents I used to get for $1 for 4 bulbs at the dollar store. They do use less electricity though. Allan Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes writes: > I was at Lowes this evening because I

Re: [MBZ] What is the deal with light bulbs?

I have always loathed the CFLs, as they _never_ last like they're supposed to, the light quality is often kind of crappy, and they end up flickering. They also don't work in environmental extremes, and don't like getting wet. LEDs are now as cheap to make as CFLs, expect the latter to basically
