I have one for you , old kenmore elite, years ago had problem with the lid , a guy from KZitem had a video , he didn't live far from me and fixed the lid switch by bending the metal hand slightly, it worked again , my new problem it wouldn't fill with water ? The only thing I could do was to manually fill it myself, it worked, Now it actually fills by its self ??? But it won't wash anymore just makes a humming sound ? I'm lost and DESPERATE!!!! Any advice you could offer me ???? Would greatly appreciate a reply . Thank you .

I am an Assistant Manager at an appliance store, that also does repairs, and this walkthrough and explanation of issues is very accurate. Despite commission being part of my pay, I always recommend the older, analog models to my customers, as opposed to the newer front-load/stackable options, which are much more pricey. This is because issues often arise due to the manufacturing process put the control board right up front above the door, which ends up getting damaged fairly quickly because of the design. You pretty much covered everything in this video. I wish all my customers would watch this before coming to the store. Hah! It would save me from giving the same spiel time after time! Well done.

Good morning Jay. I’m a Handyman subscriber who has been watching your channel for about a year and half. Originally I was a secondary math teacher for 28 years who has always been repairing everything at home. Now being retired for last four years I’ve turned handyman. I have a love for learning. Your HVAC and appliance videos are top notch! Your very logical approach in explaining makes abstract concepts crystal clear. I’ve learned a great deal from your videos. By the way, I have a few experiences with water softeners. In this video where you refer to a problem that a customer had this “caviar” or small fish eggs looking stuff clogging the inlet supply filter in a washer, well that’s actually a case where the customer has a water softener that has failed. The resin tank has a type of “filter” that keeps those tiny light tan, translucent beads from leaving the tank when the water softener is in regeneration mode. Once that happens, those tiny beads get into the plumbing system and reek havoc. They can clog all the aerators in the faucets, clog the washing machine inlet valves, clog the toilet tank fill valves and even get inside the water heater. I thought you would like to know that. Keep up the excellent job your doing and I will keep watching. Thanks!

Good morning Richard! Sounds like you had quite the career path! Glad to hear you are enjoying the handyman work and that my videos are helping with furthering your knowledge! I definitely appreciate you explaining how the water softener can cause that! I actually called a senior tech about that one and he told me the same thing. The only problem is that there was no water softener installed in that house... So in the end I never did end up finding out where those small black beads came from.

Most softeners have a mesh screen but if not put a sediment filter on output because that can be a serious problem. I recently installed a carbon tank pre softener this greatly extends life of resin you mentioned, the chlorine kills resin. It also, removes most all chlorine so you don't breath it in while showering. Look at the AO Smith carbon whole house filter, looks like a softener resin tank at Lowes and carbon can be replaced after 600k gals.

Just a few notes /comments: I work for a commercial laundry service company. I do on average 1500 calls per year, mostly apt complexes, universities and hotels. #1 when replacing a pump we use hose crimping plyers and just a towel. Saves alot of time. My biggest problem with pumps are g-strings and bobby pins. #2 Bad rear springs will cause water filling the tub to miss the tub and run onto floor. #3 we have alot of clogged stand pipes, do you see this? #3 Maytag's have a safety mechanism to protect machine from severe out of balance situations. We have to reach between tub and cabinet to reset the arm. #4 I would have mentioned clogged fill hose screens for no or slow fill. We get alot of these. #5 I have never seen the pliers you showed for installing the boot spring. SQ training demonstrates using small screw driver. Where can I find these Pliers? #6 Also a twisted contorted door boot is a sure sign there is a bad shock. Most door boot holes (not rips) occur at the 12 o'clock position and the 2 o'clock position. We repair these using flex seal tape. It works really well. #7 I would have mentioned front load washer over soaping causing failure to drain or spin out water. I get alot of these calls. To clear out the excess soap we flush washer with fabric softener from dollar tree and the soap magically disappears. Last #8 front load washer smells bad and has gunk and mold in it. We use cheap toilet bowl cleaner in a wash cycle and the smell and junk is gone. I liked the video and I understand you could have went on for another hour easily just on these ten problems. I thought it was a professional presentation and informative. THANKS, I SUBSCRIBED

I sort of volunteered to deal with issues that popped up with my employer's many washers and dryers we use across the campus. The previous approach had always been to buy an new unit when the old one quit working for whatever reason. Some times the unit was only a few months old. Due to security issues at repair tech was never called in to troubleshoot. This meant new a dryer purchased for broken door switches or a thermal fuses or a drive belts or drum rollers and new washing machines any time one would wear through a rubber motor coupling or 9 dollar pump. I thought it was great fun and a challenge to figure out what simple part was keeping the machine from working. I came upon many of the breakdowns on your list. My background was aircraft engineering and the toughest repair was figuring out the Kenmore Top Load Washer Transmission replacement like you said. This was back about 2002 before the KZitem videos of today and I just had to figure it out as I went along. I remember the transmission part was about 155 bucks from Sears Parts but still less than half the cost of a new unit. That same washing machine lasted another 12 years running 5-8 loads a day M-F.
@WordofAdviceTV
4 жыл бұрын
Oh wow, that's too bad about those machines.. That got scrapped because of a bad lid switch or tripped thermal fuse. I worked with a guy named Rick who was also an aircraft engineer in the past. He was a smart guy too! (must run in the aircraft engineer blood) About the pricing though, when a company gets called out to replace a transmission, the cost of replacing it would be much higher than just the $155 part cost. The part gets marked-up, there's the trip fee, labor cost, and cost of shipping the part (many times I need to order it, not sure what it's like at other companies). Add all of that together and the price is easily over half the price of a new machine.

Wow! You're a champ to take on a line of work like this. It's hard on the body. I know because I've been in it for 46 yrs. Mostly fridges in the beginning, then added the other appliances later. Unfortunately now, there aren't enough hrs in the day to keep up with the new technology. Often times some things just can't be fixed, like the Korean fridges with ice up issues. There are no suitable or long lasting fixes for them. Drain freezeup issues can be a challenge too in general. We don't have decent add on drain heaters other than the Sh-250 which doesn't always yield enough heat to resolve the problem. Drain strap heaters sometimes work and sometimes don't. All in all, it is a challenging line of work to attempt to correct engineering flaws.

Very good video, informative and easy to understand. I just had to call a repair specialist because my Whirlpool washer is acting up. I tried to start a load but the panel didn't light up and then it started humming. I tried a hard reset by unplugging it, but it just goes right back to that humming sound, like it's trying to drain. I've only had this washer for a few years, so it's quite frustrating that it's acting up already. It's even more frustrating that the repair person can't see me for an estimate until next week. Here's hoping it's something simple that won't require any additional parts, but I'm not holding my breath. We bought my old Estate by Whirlpool washer in 2003 and we had it for over a decade before it started acting up (first it was the lid switch splitting, then it was the motor dying). We just bypassed the lid switch entirely (which I don't recommend) and then a few years later had to replace the whole washer.

Always had long trouble-free life from Whirlpool although they have dropped in CR ratings and you said so as well. I stripped old washer apart in back yard and found hub of basket rusting badly. No fixing that. Had it been stainless it might go another 13 years.

Well done explaining everything. I'm a retired law man, you would made an excellent law man explaining to violators why that are being arrested or ticketed. Occasionally I've met governors and a president after being on the president's guard. You would have also made a good lawyer or even the President!

Hi thank you so much for your videos! You go over so much detail and explanation, of things that we can do ourselves it's fantastic ! I'm not sure if I resolved my issue but there was a couple of thoughts of some of the explanations that it could possibly be but my friend has a washer, that it is not fully spinning initially I Googled and researched and I found out that you can reset the washer because it might get offset due to power surges are unbalanced. So I unplugged the washer for at least 1 minute, then I plugged it in and proceeded within 30 seconds, lifted the lid about these two inches 6 times in a row open close each time not exceeding the 30 seconds, then plugging it in and proceeding with a new wash but it did not solve the problem problem. The washer is a whirlpool top loader. The agitator does spin constantly to the left, and to the right it's locked and turns the drum, so I don't think it is the agitator dogs, but not I think I should still check it out but I can tell you that when you push against the agitator back and forth it does move so it seems like it's loose so whether that would be the dogs or something else that's loose holding it in place maybe that might be a problem? The other thing is when it is in the wash cycle it kind of sounds like there is like a loose chain or change sounds like it's kind of rattling or making like a slight noise Another thing is in the spin cycle the light for spin starts flashing which indicates an off-balance but it's been doing this for a while a while for all loads, &a couple of times it didn't sense the water but it was after changing from one setting like white to a quick wash after pausing , this I believed happened about 3 different times. Sorry so long any help I appreciate it thank you so much!

Question - would this be a PCB or an MCU issue? It's a GE. The washer turns on but quickly switched between two different phases of the wash, constantly. The phases are (soak and wash) and (Perfect Temp Plus). As soon as the washer turns on it starts in Phase 1 then will switch over to Phase 2 then instantly back over to Phase 1. Sometimes this happens 10 times in a row then stays in Phase 1 for a few seconds, then starts swapping again, other times it does it indefinitely.

GE washer. Motor had power inline fuse verified good. Inlet water valves good (tested directly) clicking sound heard on diaphragm level sensing when blowing in tube so that presumed good, water level tube cleared. 5 lights on control panel working. Blinking green led on HydroVu motor blinking once a second which is normal. Lid switch checked good too. Machine just stopped when it broke. No amount of resetting lifting lid 6 times etc could I get the thing to do ANYTHING. I could not get it to agitate I could not get it to spin. I could not get it to drain. I could not get it to fill nothing.

One that was not covered, and you should check before you call the repair person is this... Some model washers come with an accessibly long drain hose to make it easy to put into the wall drain receptacle which eliminates the use of clamps to prevent the hose from coming out of the wall from the water pressure when draining. The problem is if the hose inside the wall receptacle is lower or even with the water in the tub then it starts to set off the emergency shut off system. Solution, simply pull out the long hose out of the wall receptacle and cut off 50% of the long hose and put it back in and BINGO! Problem Solved! If by cutting off the long hose and the hose wants to jump out of the wall drain receptacle, then just get a clamp to hold the hose down in the wall receptacle.

Excellent, very informative video! From what I saw points to bad MCU on my front loader. Also, shocks may be old as it bounces 3 or 4 times. Unplugged after 06 error code plugged back in and was acting weird then plug let out a bit of smoke like it was pulling too much power while the motor just spun slightly. It is an older Kenmore He3t so I'm sure either the MCU or ECU or both. May need a new plug as well, hmm... Thank you for the great video!

Brand new subscriber so I would like to ask you What brand washer do you recommend and do you recommend top load as opposed to side load.I'm in need of a new washer and I don't know what to get. As an appliance repairman what breaks down the least and is most durable ????
@WordofAdviceTV

Welcome to the channel! To be honest, I prefer not to recommend anything since appliance quality is much worse now than it used to be. This applies to all the brands too... But to answer your question, If I was going to buy a washer for myself I would avoid Samsung and LG to begin with as those seem to have the most problems. It would be a topload washer and most likely a Whirlpool or GE. Hope that helps and may your washer last for many years!

My LG front loader, 10 years, is banging inside. I’m guessing it’s the suspension rods not working as you said. I do wish you had told us whether it’s an expensive repair or not. I’ll try tightening the nut at the back.

What brand of front loader do you feel is most trouble free and has longevity today? I'm guessing maybe kenmore/whirlpool?? I find using bleach will destroy or at least shorten the life of any machine.
@WordofAdviceTV
4 жыл бұрын
I agree about the bleach. And even more destructive is using too much soap or non-HE soap on HE washers. You are right, it seems like the Whirlpool washers are the most trouble free. But to be honest, all the new appliances, regardless of the brand, are suffering greatly, quality-wise.. Whenever I ask the old-timers what new appliance they would get for themselves (washers, fridges, dishwashers) their answer is "none of them". Just about all of them would rather buy a used old style machine from someone who is upgrading their appliances.

@WordofAdviceTV

@AD Electronics Using non HE soap will lead to a lot of suds/bubbles. Those extra suds, with time, can cause the pump/s to overheat and sometimes burn out. It also creates more soap residue after wash cycles which can lead to growth of mold or mildew, accomponied by bad odors. Using too much HE soap can cause leaking and breakdowns in the machine. HE soap has active enzymes in it which "eat" the dirt and oils in the laundry. If too much of this soap is used, there is not enough dirt for all of the enzymes, in which case they start eating away at the rubber gaskets and seals in the machine. If this continues for a while, a leak will develop in the tub seal which can cause further damage to the machine, such as the rear bearing going or transmission going out.

Great job. I wish I had tracked all of the repairs done over the years like you have done in this video. We had three appliance stores at one time and saw the transition from well made heavy duty home appliances to the throw away designs of today. Fortunately having old school electronics knowledge I am able to overcome most repair issues. understanding digital base 2 algebra is needed to interpret the error codes on Whirlpool built top load machines. We saw the transition from Unique designs from three main manufacturers to the consolidation into two and then the invasion of the foreign made products. referenced

The pricing of parts has made all but the simplest repairs economically prohibitive. A small plastic door shim for an original Maytag dryer has went from $2.50 to $16.00. Electronic oven controls are as much as $380.00 and the electronic timer or ECB for the cheapest top load that you referenced several times is $280.00. I just had a Maytag top load with a bad actuator that I replaced only to discover the transmission bearing were bad. I advised the customer to buy a Speed Queen. They have two good models and one still has the heavy motor, belt and transmission like a commercial laundry machine. Almost all manufacturers have given in to the big box store format of selling. Independents must join buying groups to be competitive on shrinking margins. Well, enough of my old guy soapbox for now. Its good to see a young man in the business.

Great video, thanks for taking the time to make this! Those black fish eggs that you mentioned were in the screens and toilets and other fixtures are the filter media or resin from the water softener, when they flushed the hydrant they probably turned the water back on too fast and the pressure sent the resin all through the system from the mineral tank in the basement. I’m a plumber by trade and see this once in a while, if you have a water softener or acid neutralizer or any other treatment system that uses loose granular media, you should always turn water back on very slowly until system fills back up. Thanks again!

My Maytag toploader was in storage for 2 years in AZ. and when I used it the first time quite a bit of water came out the front, left side bottom (as you face the washer). Also, when it was filling, the water sprayed like a fan (imagine holding your thumb on a garden hose), more outward instead of down. I was told by phone that "seals dry out from non-use" Any suggestions as a fix? BTW...GREAT VIDEO! CLEAR, CONCISE, & INFORMATIVE!

Great job on this video , buddy, really appreciate it !!!! Came here becos I have a Whirlpool ( 20 yrs old ) where the tub is banging on the side during the spin cycle ( got unbalanced with coat/jackets ) . However it does not have 4 suspension springs. Some other mechanism on bottom. Have to keep looking at what is off. 3 horizontal springs on bottom look fine. So something else is the prob....

I have a GE top load washer that was made in March 2012. It overflowed and caused extensive damage to to my laminate flooring and kitchen cabinets. The overflow was caused by the tubing from the base of the tub to the cutoff pressure switch leaked air and let the pressure escape. The I.D. of each end of the tubing expanded over time and allowed air to escape even though I had to use a screwdriver to force the tubing off the switch and tub. I tested the tubing in water and did not find any leaks so I clipped 3/4" off each end to bring the ID down to the original 1/8". The tub does not overflow anymore but the rinse water level is low on all load settings. Nowhere can I find 1/8" ID replacement tubing with a thicker OD. Evidently the length of the tubing is critical. My tubing is now 1 1/2" shorter. The overflow problem has been solved. Wash water level is good on all settings but the rinse level on all settings is low. Does the water level in rinse cycles have a control other than the wash levels?

Lol, you’re a tease. Interesting video though. We have been using a Whirlpool washer for years. Had it fixed once for one of those plastic actuators. Then I saw a Samsung in the scratch and dent section in Lowe’s. It didn’t have any dents or scratches, but it had a new pump installed. It was half price, so I grabbed it. It’s got a huge drum. Washes really well and saves water. It decides how much water you get, and balances the clothes before it starts washing. It even plays a tune when it’s done. I’m keeping the Whirlpool just in case...
@WordofAdviceTV

If you have a place to put it, I would keep the Whirlpool as a back-up too. On average, the lifespan of a new Samsung washer is 1/3 of those old Whirlpools. Those machines are pretty much the best out there, according to the majority of appliance techs. The new ones are nice and have cool features but their quality is not as good. But hopefully in your case, that Samsung will go over 30 years, easy!
