Saved me $300 - what a great site! my dishwasher stopped working and after I made a few phone calls to a bunch of local repairmen, most wanted $60 just to come to my house and estimated the total repair would be around $250. I googled the problem and landed on fixya and saw several similar issues. I decided to post my specific question and within 15 minutes got an answer. All I had to do is reset the pump valve and since then it works like magic! Thanks Fixya, you saved my day (and bank account:)

Steals answers from other websites Steals answers from other websites. Adds a shoddily placed ''source'' without mentioning what parts they took from where, and then have the audacity to ask you to pay for their service if you want actual help. Full of plagiarism and seeks to abuse the unknowing or unwitting by offering 'easy' help that really won't lead you anywhere a simple Google search wouldn't have brought you.

Very poor information available from… Very poor information available from Fixya . Much better answers to my DIY repair questions almost everywhere else on the internet. I now NEVER go to FIXYA.

I was a fixya contributor for over 6… I was a fixya contributor for over 6 years. I complained about not being able to "ignore" spammers and their posts. I am now unable to post on ANYTHING! ..I can read but never comment! ... FIXYA is now a spam site IMO!

Bad Experience From This Platform I'm not sure why this community, particularly the Admin of 𝗙𝗜𝗫𝗬𝗔, would trash someone and accuse her of being an AI bot when her only aim was to express her thoughts for the benefit of others who needed assistance. I've also had experiences with people claiming to be experts; for example, there's this man named Larry Ng who is a car know-it-all, but when I offer someone my opinion on an issue I know, he dismisses it and labels me someone who doesn't know anything simply because he's a MECHANIC. Essentially, this is a forum for those who do not want you to voice your thoughts on specific issues because they do not want you to shine. Never attempt to join this community. Better go to Quora if you need help!
