@@antibodiesagainstkookery3871 No problem mate, it's good to know for next time 😎👍

Bridget hi! Haha thanks for the stellar comment! You've definitely made my day :D And sure we can be friends. Sub to my channel and cheer me up every now and then lol. It's difficult to get cool subscribers willing to like and comment my vids. And lol, I'll try and clean my pond up before showing anymore of it... but like the idea of showing stuff like that and having more of a relaxed approach to youtube content :) Thanks again!

Sweet mate! Thanks for letting me know, and we'll done 👍😎

Brilliant! Good on ya Doug 👍

Sorry for the delayed replyFrederik. Great stuff mate thanks for letting me know! Haha my Hobbit feet are my best feature 😅

Mate not a problem, glad I could help.

Haha thanks for the awesome comment, you had me laughing yourself 😅 Yep definitely an Aussie! and really happy I helped you save another one. Well done for fixing it and not throwing it out! and thanks for subscribing, hopefully I can make you laugh again at some point 😊 ps. Star Wars rocks!

No worries mate, good luck with it all! 👍

All good mate happy to help 👍

No worries! And apologies for the late reply. Looks like you left this comment at basically the same time I had a massive house fire thanks to a faulty electric blanket. It's set me back quite a bit. But we'll done! Feels great when you repair something yourself rather than toss it out and spend lots of money replacing it 🙂👍

No worries LumberHacker! happy to help :) I just checked out your channel mate. You have some skills. You should pump out more vids!

Thanks Frederik, appreciate it mate 🙂

Wow that's a pretty cool idea well done! At least these Simpsons are easy to work on. I think they're the easiest out of all the brands so keep going with them mate 👍

@@DIYDumpRat Cheers man. You too.

No worries man happy to help 👍

No worries Kenneth happy I could help mate 🙂👍

Good luck mate, It probably hums when the load of washing is heavy and when it's light it probably spins. Just make sure you pull the capacitor out of your machine first and buy the same one. It's probably the same in all Simpsons but best to be sure. Let me know how you go 👌

Not a problem Dave. Happy to help 👍

Hey no worries! Sorry for the late reply mate.

Thanks mate appreciate it 👍

No problem Noeurn glad you liked it. Wow Cambodia! Pretty sure you're my first ever Cambodian commenter. Thanks heaps 🙂😎👍

Brilliant! Happy to help. Thanks for letting me know 😎🙂👍

All good mate, glad it helped 👍

Hey sorry for the terribly delayed reply. And thanks so much! I've never been one of those KZfaqrs who like to keep their videos as short as possible. Sometimes the little things are what matters to a lot of people 😎👍

No worries Richard cheers mate 👍

@@DIYDumpRat thanks mate, have you had the problem of the pulley tension spring popping off at the bottom? Everything I put it back on, it pops off again. Really driving me mad. Any suggestions mate. Cheers.

@@Aussie3225 Too be honest no I haven't. I know when you put the spring on there's bit of a ledge on the motor casing that the spring can sometimes get hung up on so I always make sure I push the spring off to the side of it. But if you do what I do and test it thoroughly by turning the drum a dozen times in one direction and a dozen in the other when testing that the belt is in the correct position (before putting the back on) it really shouldn't do that.

@@DIYDumpRat OK mate, mine comes off everything, and of course it sends everything into a screeching mess. I've invented a little hack, should be good. I don't really think these things are engineered very well, ours is only a couple of years old. Thanks for taking the time to answer me, I'm sure you've helped a lot of DIY ers. Your videos are really good, easy to follow. Sorry I can't send a picture of my little invention.

Thanks man 👍

Im doing one at the moment. Can you tell me if the motor shaft (that the belt sits on) should move up and down or stay firmly in one position. The one I have at the moment moves. It runs sweet in one position but when it moves towards the fan the shaft stops going round, Any suggestions please

No problem Sang Le 👍

Thanks Flower Cool, honestly I don't think I've come up to that problem before where the spring comes off on it's own. Normally the belt comes off and the sudden release can cause the spring to pop off. I'm not sure sorry. It's obviously something very minor that over time is causing it to do that. Perhaps just keep trying and when rotating the drum by hand to settle the belt with the back off just do it in both directions for a lot longer. Here's another video of me putting a belt back on which might be a little clearer to this earlier video that most people watch. If you notice at 26:17 I quickly push the spring so it's slightly sitting over the motor. It's not a big deal whether it's on the side like it previously was or pushed over it like I did. Maybe leave it off to the side in your case. I do push it back to the side at 26:44 though. Sorry I can't be anymore help. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aKx0mrCd0ZapY4k.html

@@DIYDumpRat Thanks for replying this video was very clear ive been rotating it back and forth and it seems that the belt is going higher then the rotating shaft hence why the belt is coming off and then when open it i see that the spring has come off the belt does move up and down but when it does rotate upwards it goes higher and then right off

@@Unkown_278i just had the same issue with the spring. Taking the spring off and putting back on the other way around fixed the problem for me - so now the part of the spring that was attached to the motor is now attached to the body of the dryer and vice versa

Hi there, mate your idler really does need to be 100% perfect as far as shape is concerned. A lot of the time you'll see a hair line crack in the center close to the core. This is actually quite normal. I see it on more and more idlers these days. They still can last quite long time. But Idlers with bits missing and broken off pieces should be replaced for sure.

But why the dryer when it spin..thiere is a noise.. The bearing is okay.. Theirs a possibility that the motor have a cause of the noise..? Thanks for responding

I see the idler is not perfect curve. Where the belt attach

@@basictechtutorial9356 Oh I see what you're saying. You have a high pitch noise when the dryer is turning? If the bearing is ok then it is most probably your idler. I only just discovered this very recently, but if you pull the idler off and look inside the center metal core you will see some score lines in the metal. It's this tiny little defect that is causing the squealing sound. Very hard to see but they are probably there. I fixed it once by sanding the inside with some sandpaper wrapped around a small rod... as well as adding some grease. But you're much better off buying a new idler if you can. Just remember to clean the shaft that the idler sits on so that it's smooth like glass. This really helps as well 👍

Thank you so much.. Very helpful..❤️❤️ I purchase online the idler, belt and bearing for long run .... Hope it will fix soon..

Thanks mate, sounds to me like a classic idler issue. Basically the same thing that's happening in this video. Open it up and take a look 👍

Yep absolutely. The most common reason. If it hums you need a new capacitor. Sometimes you can even get it going by spinning the bowl (empty) and quickly closing the door while the timer is already set to the on position.

Yea thats what i do and it runs thanks for the reply mate ill get a new one
