LG HydroShield Dryer Repair | Fixing No Heat, Rusted Exhaust, and More
In this video, we tackle a challenging repair on an LG HydroShield dryer that was brought in for not heating. These dryers can be tricky to disassemble without a few insider tips. During the repair, I fixed alignment issues caused by removed rear bulkhead screws, replaced a blown thermal fuse to restore heating, and repaired a rusted exhaust tube using a modified tube and stiff exhaust hose. I also changed the idler pulley by retrofitting the old bushing into a new pulley and replaced all thermal cutoff components to ensure the dryer was running safely and efficiently. Whether you’re an appliance repair professional or a DIY enthusiast, you’ll find valuable tips and tricks for diagnosing and repairing dryers.

    I haven't watched the full video yet I paused it because I had this SAME thing happen to my front loader years ago... what happens is, dirt/hair/crud will build up on the bottom of the glass slighlly breaking the seal when you close the door where the bottom glass touches the seal...I started keeping the glass wiped off and the boot after laundry day... and it never leaked again... Not saying that's the issue here... but before I watched the video I wanted to make that comment... If you have a front loader that leaks from the bottom glass... it might be something aas simple as keeping the glass clean... and the boot/seal or whatever you call it wiped down.

    For anyone interested... It is possible for a cheaper washer to last 20 years.. My whirlpool duet (from 2005) will be 20 years old next year...it has a plastic outer tub... though I've never had mold.. I think because I use hot water and bleach with whites...I've seen horror stories over the year with mold but never had that issue (luckily)... I would LOVE to have the speed queen front load...which may happen if my washer dies.. I don't see how it could possibly keep going much longer, though it shows no signs of anything going on it at all... Either the SQ front load or LG front load with turbo wash because I like how it washes.. I think my washer drum size is 3.8 cubic feet... the SQ is even smaller than that...which I hate... as it stands I can BARELY wash a queen size comforter

    Hi Chip, I could use some help troubleshooting my 20-year old direct-drive Whirlpool washer. It can still agitate and drain properly but hasn’t been spinning correctly when called upon. The clutch appeared worn, so I replaced it and hoped for the best. Since then, the washer can sometimes wash several loads in a row without issues, but then still intermittently fails to spin at times. Here are some clues that I have gathered so far: When the washer enters a spin cycle, it either works properly the entire time or doesn’t spin at all. It doesn’t cut out if it’s working or kick in when it doesn’t spin at the beginning of the cycle. In instances where the washer fails to spin, I can sometimes get it to spin if I advance the cycle to Extra Rinse or another wash mode. Typically, I just use Normal or Permanent Press, so if it fails to spin in one, I can usually just change modes to make the washer happy again. There have also been times where is alternates between spinning properly for one spin cycle, doing nothing for the next, and then working properly again without intervention. Can you recommend any additional troubleshooting steps to help narrow down the issue? My best guess is that this is an issue with the transmission, but I’d like to go on more than a guess before sinking money into new parts. Given the quality of most newer washers, it seems worth it to keep this one going for a few more years. Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

    • @HarperandKnowles
      @HarperandKnowles 2 дні тому

      There are a few things to consider. Is there a dirty ring around the inside of the case about clutch level? If so there is a seal leaking water on the clutch making it slip. It could also be a worn spin gear. In that case change the neutral drain kit. Use this video to learn about that. How To Overhaul a Whirlpool Direct Drive Transmission: Complete Guide ua-cam.com/video/UbybdNrfYvg/v-deo.html. You might have a motor coupling that is broken or stripped out. Check that. The ears on the spin tube might be stripped and slipping on the spin block. That’s all I can think of at the moment. Thanks for watching!

Can you please point me in the right direction. Thank you!

    • @HarperandKnowles
      @HarperandKnowles 8 днів тому

      Your water valve isn’t filling the tub fast enough. It times out before the correct pressure reading is met and will pump out and shut off so that you don’t flood your house. It’s a safety thing. It starts on small loads because it reaches the correct pressure reading before timing out. Change your water inlet valves and you’ll be good to go! Thanks for watching!

    Thanks, good video. This is the repair my GE Hotpoint needs. Plus it probably needs a new belt and rear bearing because it's so old, 25-30 years. It squeaks, on and off, and catches clothes along the top, time to time, but otherwise has never failed me or needed repairs until now. The squeaking started slowly almost 2 years ago and the clothes getting caught about 8 months ago. I recently had my washer fixed by a repairman and also wanted the dryer looked at. He only stuck his head in the drum upside down and told me to buy a new one because it was the bearings and too costly to fix. This GE looks identical to my machine. Would the same kit for work for me? Do you have a video for the rear bearing, by chance? I'm hoping my drum didn't get worn. In that case, I'll buy new.

      Order your drum bearings from your model number. There are at least two different types. I’m planning a video now about replacing the rear ball and cradle on the rear of the drum, do stay tuned. Thanks for watching!

    It may already be in another comment but i watched a different video, disassembled/unclogged/reassembled my drain pump and then none of the lights would work even for diagnostic purposes, it was just humming. Then I stumbled across your video and obviously couldn't start diagnostics without lights.... I watched 10 more videos and stumbled across something called "flood mode" and apparently all I had to do was plug the washed back in and let it hum for 30m to "reset". Flood mode is apparently a thing 😂

      I belief the correct term is a “suds lock” here’s a video I made on that. How To Reset Your Washing Machine's Control Board: Fixing Endless Cycles & Suds Lock ua-cam.com/video/avLVuDeG84c/v-deo.html

    Thank you!! Some how I have turned on the door lock test mode twice. I do it when I decide to cancel my current load settings and chose another. I think holding the start button to cancel for too long sets it to diagnose. Every time I push start it locks and unlocks but that's it. Holding the start button again to get out of the trouble shooting mode is all it takes to fix. Thank you!!

    God Bless you gentlemen here! Single woman here, I know my way around a few things, but not these newer washsers. My brand new 2 year old washer just started doing this, so thanks to you I will know where to look and what to do. Ill try blowing it out first then move forward. Thanks so much for the info. Now to man handle these items in my washing room so I can gain access: my fridge, dryer must be moved to get washer out. Good lord..... I think I will rearrange how these go back in. Thanks again!

    Hi Chip my whirlpool ultimate 2 is leaking, it looks like from the transmission? What needs fixing? I thank you for your helpful videos.

    • @HarperandKnowles
      @HarperandKnowles 9 днів тому

      Well, is it leaking oil or water or both? If you look under it can you see a ring of oil around the inside of the cabinet? If so, I’d say you need to change the transmission shaft seal in the top of the spin tube.

    Normal use TR5 lasted 6 years. Bearing failure. Repair Tech says not worth repairing You can buy a new one for the price of the repair. Is this true?

    I love my Amana washer and Dryer. Dislike the Whirlpool, clothes come out very wrinkled. .

    • @HarperandKnowles
      @HarperandKnowles 10 днів тому

      Lol, Amana is a Whirlpool brand name. Whirlpool Corporation acquired the Amana brand as part of its purchase of Maytag Corporation in 2006. Maytag had previously owned Amana, and when Whirlpool acquired Maytag, it gained Amana along with other Maytag assets. The acquisition allowed Whirlpool to expand its portfolio of appliance brands. When you disassemble an Amana washer every part in it is interchangeable with Whirlpool parts. So, what you really have is a Whirlpool machine! Thanks for watching!
