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.

It may be a useful tool but... It may be a useful tool but for me, pc slowed slowed down and froze. Had to clear out cache and as that became a regular thing on visiting, I no longer use them. If it is too good to be free, then its not! Not keen on their cookies and stuff as I believe it was seriously affecting my pc.

Someone doesn't want some issues fixed Seems someone doesn't want some issues fixed. I posted a way to give Yahoo mail users a simple way to change their display language via the address bar and the question and answers were deleted. The problem started in 2012 and continued to 2018 unresolved. I thought I'd share my fix and put the issue to rest -- and now it's been inexplicably swept under the rug.
