I pick up these washers and dryer setting by curbside for throw a way. Have done this for about 1 year. I am 84 years old. So far, I have been able to repair all. Then I give them away .This is my way to help someone in need especially single moms or someone needy. This becomes a blessing for us both. I deliver and set up all at no cost. Keeps me active and helping others in need. GOD has blessed me. Praise GOD in the highest !

I have a Maytag bravos. It was occasionally making a grinding sound when starting to agitate. Then it just recently stopped spinning. I removed the wash basket to check the drive hub which was indeed bad but my problem is, when I removed the wash basket, the tube that it’s connected to came out with it and now I’m stuck and don’t know what to do. I tried just putting it back together like that but it’s not working.

@HarperandKnowles 11 ай бұрын

You failed to mention the make and model but I’ll give you my best guess. So if it stops when the door is open but starts right up when you close it I’d think the start button is stuck down. Just guessing but if you open the timer you might discover some stuck points if the start button isn’t the problem. On a GE product, (includes Frigidaire) I’d suspect a stuck start button too. Also be sure your door switch is working properly. If it continues to run but the timer doesn’t move then it’s the timer motor or something preventing power to the little motor. Thanks for watching!

I thought it was the clutch. Changed it but housed the lid lock. To see its motion. Agitates well. But when draining the tub wants to spin but dont move.

@HarperandKnowles 3 ай бұрын

You may need a new motor. If it spins then stops then comes back on after the motor has a chance to cool down then your motor is failing. Thanks for watching!

Wow, at 36:22 you skipped the video forward. That is the exact point of the cycle where my machine fails to go into spin cycle. My agitator turns a few turns left then right, Unbalancing the load. Then tries to spin, causing the machine to violently jump all over the laundry room and eventually go to "complete cycle" never going into high speed spin. The load is completely soaked. My Diag codes are F7 E7, I think it is a Splutch cam problem. Thanks for the video

Do people ever remove the blue plastic protection on their washer/dryer control panel? Whenever I come across laundry repair channels or random laundry videos, I've noticed a lot of end users don't remove the blue film on their machines after years of use🤣😆.

I buy a lot of used machines and that stuff sticks down almost permanently after a few years. It’s hard to remove but once I paint the frame and peel that stuff away it looks like a new machine! Thanks for watching!

Grinding sound in spin mode. Not spinning. Actuator replaced. Program recalibrated.

@HarperandKnowles 10 ай бұрын

A grinding noise during spin is never a good sign. It’s almost always a symptom of failing bearings. Depending on your model it could be a failed tub hub. But most likely your bearings are failing. Look for evidence of rusty water spots on the bottom near the center. Failed bearings usually mean the machine has ended its useful life. Models like the Cabrio with a direct drive rotar/stator system can be repaired. See this video.

Probably the control boards on both. If they have the same control boards why don’t you swap boards on one and see if the issue transfers over with the board. Then you’ll have your answer! Let me know how that goes.
