    My pen name is Cal Kasheau. Hey, I'd like to shamelessly promote my literary accomplishments while I have your attention. I have several short story titles you can get on Amazon; the links are below. Some are humorous, some reflect events in my life, and some are legends I heard of as a child in the swamps of Louisiana. They are only a dollar or two, and most are free with a Kindle unlimited membership. I hope you will take the time to read one or two and give me your honest opinion in the comments on whether or not I should continue to pursue a side gig as an author.

    Another great video. Having a spare used transmission is the only way to make that repair affordable. Great job.

      You are correct. But if you are a DYI guy it’s could still be cheaper than a new machine! Thanks for Watching!

    These washers are so easy to work on. Too bad they kind of stink and seem somewhat low quality with the non serviceable gearbox, but I do like the vmw platform when done right (washers that actually use water and have a dual action agitator, and the commercial versions seem to perform the best).
    But as a DIY a new gear box is a couple hundred bucks and I think I would just replace it instead of buying the same junk over again. Well, as long as the cabinet wasn’t all rusted out.
    Also you have something going on with your audio, it keeps cutting in an out a lot and I’ve noticed this on other videos too.

      Those are spots where I clear my throat or cough and I mute the sound. I could cut them and use blur transitions I guess. I didn’t think they were that noticeable. Thanks for the heads up. Thanks for watching too!

      Ok thanks, yeah I listen using headphones so I notice background sounds more than if I watched through computer speakers. No biggie, I wasn’t sure if it was your mic going wonky.

    Nice smoothe repair! What was wrong with the other machine you decided to scrap in order to get the transmission?

    • @HarperandKnowles
      @HarperandKnowles  5 місяців тому +1

      Case was rusted badly and the control board was shot. Thanks for watching!

    What you are using is silicone grease

      I believe it is. It’s the same stuff that comes with the bearings, shaft ,and seal kits for a Whirlpool Cabrio washer. Thanks for watching!

    That's about the worst thing that whirlpool did was go from direct drive to the gearbox and I wish all washers were still in direct drive.

    • @HarperandKnowles
      @HarperandKnowles  2 місяці тому +1

      I agree with you. I still fix those to resell and they almost never have an issue. Thanks for watching!
