I sense that both Korean brands have achieved sales success with what seems to be more features at the same or lower price than other brands, but I suspect they are a lower price/higher margin line for big-box stores like HD and Lowes, so they push them hard.

I guess this would be the more or less comparable BMW 3-series, although it doesn't look like this one has the upgraded sound system.

Loaded up the dishwasher yesterday and discovered it had no power. Nada. Checked the main panel and found that the breaker had tripped. Reset it and all is well.
However, this is the third different breaker that has tripped for us in the past few months. First two were GFCI outlets, one in the master bath and the other in the basement - which happens to control the outlets on the front porch and back patio. These outlets both have security cameras attached to them, so when the breaker trips, the cameras stop working.
Had an electrician come out and put in a 20 amp breaker, to replace the 15 amp that was there. So far, no issues with those outlets.
But, I've never had so many issues with the electricity at any of the houses we've owned. Not sure what could be causing this.

I wouldn’t call service on any of them most likely, other than the fridge. That came with a 10 year compressor warranty. I really just want them all to last until I can convince the wife to finally move. If I have to spend on new stuff, I want it to be in a new house so I can get use from it.

And the cooktop and range hood - not the best pic as I snapped it quickly. Original copper appliances, original counters and cabinets. The ad copy did mention the original cabinetry as a selling point (the one owner aspect was a talking point in the ad), but I suspect these too will eventually be tossed:
I suspect for items like this, they really don't make them like they used to.

Seeing the Coldspot refrigerator reminds me that for a while back in the '70s, we had a place in the country. Bought it furnished, but the fridge was old, from the '40s most likely, and too small. Dad found a large Coldspot (or was it a Hotpoint? Always got those two confused) for sale, used, somewhere and bought it. It was likely from the '60s and was built like a tank. Mom always said it was the best fridge they ever owned.

It seems the Koreans make nice looking appliances that - like ab said sell for an excellent price, but reliability and customer satisfaction are lacking. There seems to be a different attitude these days....sell what you can and if someone doesn't like it who cares....they won't come back but by then someone else will be running the company. TVs are a little different, no moving parts really....so they are like cookie cutter circuit boards....but, appliances have parts that can fail.
If a new appliance breaks under warranty there should be a good effort to fix it immediately, no one wants to or should go for weeks without an appliance they bought and is still under warranty.

Decided to tackle the one for the 2nd floor window over the garage.
Of course, it took me several hours to clean, apply 3 coats of Kilz 2 and a finish coat(still might need some more finish touch up).
While I was up there, I noticed the vinyl shutters need replacing.
My wife dug out the original construction papers for the house and the manufacturer is still around.
They only sell them through contractors or online.
The online seller I found is in CA, although the manufacturer is about 25 miles from me.
I'll have to call them to see if they can hook me up with someone more local.
One job leads to another.
Since the radio system is the car’s communications computer, if it was not coded correctly, they can clear the memory and recode it correctly if that is the “gremlin” causing the problem. If it turns out that it is not the cause of the car’s inability to communicate through the Verizon towers to Genesis, it would not need a new radio system. But they have gone ahead and ordered a replacement radio from South Korea just in case it is needed.
So I will be driving this G90 loaner until they return my car, repaired, or provide me with a new replacement G90. At least they are working diligently to try to get my car back to me in working order.

The E-Class that was built without options you paid for.
The other E-Class (or was it a 5-series?) that needed the injectors replaced.
Now this, with the radio in the G90.
I think only @graphicguy has had bigger problems, and multiple buy-backs (GM, Audi).

That was always the most likely cause of the malfunction....the same as the Bluetooth in the Audi A4.
They should put me in charge of Genesis Technical Info.

Cooktop is alongside the wall oven, it and the fridge were replaced around 15 years ago, when they both suffered issues at nearly the same time, oven seal stopped being effective, and plastic parts of the fridge shelf decayed and couldn't be repaired. Flooring was also done then, original linoleum (very 50s/60s, a kind of mother of pearl pebbled texture with gold glitter pieces) developed a little crack, and that really bugged grandma. She kept the place spotless.
A full view - I suspect whatever new kitchen might takes its place will also occupy the eat-in area at right - this is before everyone needed a 4000 sq ft house and a huge kitchen with 3 acres of cabinetry. It got some people going though, I am still amazed at the bids and winning offer:

Then when I went to use my Gmail on my computer all my contacts went missing. So then I had to watch a google video and find out how to recover them. Then I had to go into contacts and then trash and recover them all. Mrs D manually added about 15 of the numbers I am most likely to call. If I had known I would be doing all that I just would of suffered with the old phone.
So, if you need any tech help...just ask!

One of my fellow workers was so afraid of having a board act up he actually tested each resistor and capacitor to, not only see if they were good, but also if they were within the stated tolerance marked on those components. Needless to say my other buddy was watching his TV while this scaredy cat was still testing components. We never did let him forget about that.

Pay attention in the morning. If the clean light is on the cycle is completing. Mine was not doing that as the first symptom. Then it needed power cycling, and finally death.

I've run it again since the failure, and I believe it completed the cycle and gave me the green light to signify that it was done.

You should NEVER arbitrarily replace a 15 amp breaker with a 20 amp breaker. This is akin to putting a penny in a fuse box. If you had a 15 amp breaker it was probably because that circuit was wired with #14 gauge copper wire. If somehow the circuit was wired with #12 gauge copper wire (which is good for 20 amps), then the circuit breaker was undersized for the wire by using a 15 amp breaker. This is the safe way to go but why wire for 20 amps then use a 15 amp breaker? This is almost never done. I could tell you when this is acceptable but does anyone really want to know this?
If I were you I’d have a knowledgeable person check to see what wire size is used for the circuit in question. If that electrician oversized the breaker (in this case using a 20 amp breaker when a 15 amp breaker should be used), I’d NEVER use that electrician again.
Now having said all that, if a dishwasher is operating properly it will NEVER pop a 15 amp breaker nor would it even pop a 10 amp breaker for that matter.
So @jmonroe, what are you saying here? I hate to say it but if your dishwasher is popping a good breaker the dishwasher is more than likely going bad. Not to worry, we need a dishwasher story in here again.

In short, the range top was designed correctly.

Depending on whether or not we have issues going forward, I may bring in a master electrician to perform a comprehensive review of all the wiring and other components.

The breaker trips due to flexing of a piece of metal in the breaker that gets hot and breaks contact between two contacts within the breaker when the current rating of the breaker is exceeded. Usually by the time you go to the panel to reset the breaker this piece of metal that got hot has cooled sufficiently which allows you to reset the breaker.
Where resistance enters into this is in the circuit. As resistance goes down current goes up. A short circuit is a good example of this. When current goes up more power (watts) are consumed and more heat is produced. So, in the end it’s ultimately the heat that makes the circuit breaker trip.

Prices are not yet announced but it is expected to cost approximately $63,000+ before tax credits. The Electrified G80's estimated range is 300+ miles. And according to Genesis, the Electrified G80 can reach 80 percent charge capacity in 22 minutes and accelerate to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds.
We have always had electric ranges so we are used to it. The only times we had gas was in the apartment we lived in for two years after we were married and when we bought our second house. Neither Mrs. j or I could get used to gas since we had electric for 20 years in our first house. Therefore, that gas range was replaced within a few months with an electric job.
Interestingly, gas is much more popular than electric today so that is what we install in our flip houses. Wouldn’t even think of installing electric.
