I want to thank you so VERY MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!! Two days ago my wife came to me and said the washer of 18 years had quit working during spin cycle. Well I said to myself the old washer was ready for washer/dryer heaven. We went out to several places to compare prices including looking on line. This week I was able to buy a new washer and dryer, no sense in getting a new washer without the other. That would have been over $1200.00 and it's at sale price. Thought there has got to be a way out of this and that's when I came across your video. For the cost of $1.95 for a bag of zip ties from Home Depot and two minutes work, felt like I won the lotto. Really appreciate you doing this video.

Thank you. 68 year old woman here. To be honest, I am generally leery of repairs that claim to only require a few hairpins and a wad of bubblegum, but as the issue was just a matter of bringing the switch casing back into alignment, it turned out to be, as you promised, a 5-minute fix. My Kenmore Series 80 washing machine is back in service, and now I have time to order a proper new switch to replace the failed one, without having to live with a machine that would have needed bailing out.

You are Brilliant! I looked at various DIY methods involving jumping wires, bypassing the switch, etc. My wife was not having any of that for it did not seem safe. My model had a bracket that prevented me from tying underneath and around so I tied it from side to side, being careful not to obstruct any of the screw holes, etc.. So far, it has worked perfectly! At a minimum it should hold until the inexpensive new part arrives, meanwhile, we can still do laundry! Thanks much!

@SwinginSnappinSingin 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much! We followed your method and fixed it. My mom is super happy! And I still can't believe I / we did it. (We - females - are not handy.) Below is a recounting of my experience for others who may want to attempt this. Hope it would help you. Entire process: 30 minutes, 3 zip ties. We have the same kind of washing machine model: turn knob, pull to start, top loading. But our lid opens the other way (so the dial / knob still visible when lid is open). And our catch is in a different location. After we unscrewed it, at first, I couldn't pull the part out at all, felt tight and held back by some cords. After struggling for a bit, I contorted my hand and reached in more. I got the whole thing out, visible and can see what we were working with. The part we pulled out looked like the videos but with an extra metal plate. Because with that extra metal plate, we cannot loop through the zip tie as show in 4:43. We have to do the ties off to the sides... so, one each on each sides, almost like a V with intersection corners... and then we did a 3rd zip tie perpendicular to the one that was shown in the videos. Just remember, the goal is to keep that part tight. Learn from my experience: when you finished tying, take a moment to observe how the part sits, especially the angle of the pedal (visible from the catch / hole) and the vertical face of where the screws go in. I struggled with the angle for the screws at the first go. So I had to pull it out and observe again. Successful in 2nd try. Do not try to force the screw into the plastic part. Now, just tighten the screws and run a test. Hope you would hear the sweet sound of washing machine spinning also! Good luck!

This just happened to me today! Friggin' washing machine died at the spin cycle with a barrel full of water and soaking wet clothes. Called a repair company, guy comes out, stays 5 minutes and tells me there's nothing he can do, has to order a $360 timer, suggests I buy a new washing machine. Paid $89 bucks for this stellar service, went to Lowes and bought a cheap new machine. Saw this tonight at 11. Will have to go to Walmart tomorrow to get zip ties. I hope, if this works, that that "repair" company will refund my money. The guy was worthless. Definitely cancelling my Lowes purchase as well. Thanking you in advance! BTW, don't ask me why your video suddenly showed up in my Recommended list!

@@QuickAndEasy5MinuteAppliance UPDATE: IT WORKED!!!! You just saved me $453.00! And I didn't even have to go to Walmart to buy zip ties. I knew I had them around here somewhere and after much digging, found a whole package. As a retiree on a fixed income, all I can say is thank you! Subscribed! P.S. My washing machine is a 40 year old Kenmore 80 Series.

Thank you!!!!! This worked!! I was after my husband to fix ours and showed him this video. When he saw it took a few minutes he finally fixed it!! I was researching new washers and read horrible reviews of the high efficiency washers and how people hate them! I want to hang on to my whirlpool washer from 2001 as long as possible because they were made to last and let you choose your water level. This saved us so much money! ThAnks again!

Thank God I found your video on how to repair this problem on your washing machine lid. I don't know how I overlooked it. But I didn't have someone tell me , one time, don't let the lid slam/drop because it could do something , but I never knew what it was until now. I just finished putting my zip tie on that little spinning module and my washer is now working perfectly. Once again, thank you for putting this video out. It saved me a lot of money.
