We have zero extra money, and 3 young children under 5. Your video diagnosed and repaired the issue with our washer! There exists not enough kind words to express my gratitude! The world is a better place with people like you in it!
#legend
Um
Nice! Love people helping people! 👍😃❤
You took the words right out of my mouth I'm so 🙏 grateful for the help thank you thank you thank you
Same here
4 years later still helping out. This video helped me so much, thank you. And you got it my little girls sock was stuck lol.
Thanks so much for this great video. My fiancé wanted to buy a new washer and I fixed it in under an hour. Working great again !
Found Timmy’s sock in ours! Thank you so much for this video. Free fix. Much appreciated.
Thanks very much I found out that one of the wires to the closed lid switch was what caused my washer issue . The bypass method to check it got it going instantly
was yours humming too like this one?
Thank you very much. I just fixed my washer thanks to this video. 💪
Appreciate The Shared Knowledge! Saved Me From Having To Buy A New Washer! 🙌🏾
Thank you! Hoping this works for me my Whirlpool is less than 3 years old and I have two buffoons in my house and they don't know how to do any laundry except there aren't words invented yet!
Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for your video!!! Worked like a charm!
You're welcome!
Where did you get the vise grips , to close water line ?
Auto parts store, radiator hose clamps
Phenomenal. Thank you!
Hi. My Kenmore washer 70 series does not go through a rinse cycle nor does it spin out. The washer runs through a complete cycle without draining for rinse or spin. Can you tell me what you think may be my problem?
Can I get the pump off easy on a whirlpool 2speed /5 cycle heavy duty washer ?
thank you sooooo much for share this!!! it really did work..I appreciate you
We have a Maytag stacked washer/Dryer Combo that hums after filling tub and Rinse cycle tries to start. I've replaced the water pump (So there is nothing in the pump) and the lid switch. What I did find is if I pull the belt from the motor to the pump a few times the pump kicks in and the rinse cycle begins. Problem is it never stops until it reaches the off. It doesn't drain it goes right though the spin cycle. So I'm thinking its something with the belt or the motor. Any ideas?
Awesome video, but my whirlpool drains, and then the motor hums during spin and the tub locks up. I'll be checking the pump before I order any parts though.
*Edit:
It was the clutch. $21 at the scratch & dent appliance store down the street and 1/2 an hour later, it works great. Also replaced the dogs in the upper agitator housing, (another $5), because it was twisting but not turning. Not bad for about 2 hours total on a Saturday.
Was not the switch or a stopped up thing now what ?

You're asking me because..?
You're the BEST!! Thank you! 😊
😩Now, I know why y'all charge all that money. Because I SHOUL DON'T WANT TO DO THIS😭😫Thank you!🙏
🤣
After you got the sock out I seen it still looked like there was part of the black sock in there is it usually a dark color inside or could there be another sock I’m just asking bc I don’t wanna do it twice lol
Yes there is a black rubber baffle inside that pushes the water out.
Thanks for this video!!!
God Bless You!
Hey , your video is four years old and still helping people out.
Really appreciate it , turns out it was the lid switch what a relief!
X2.
I'm gonna check my washing machine in a few minutes after breakfast.
The myth of the missing socks has been solved.
😱
I thought it was a demon in the washing machine that eats your sock and leaves you with a single sock
Lol for real. Didn't think of it till I saw your comment
I feel amazing right now and its all your fault. I got to fix my own washer in 20 minutes and it wasn't difficult at all. saved me hours of time and money too! Thank you Thank you thank you
I'm a single mom and have never fixed a washer by myself but I watched your video and there was my 2 year olds sock in the pump! You saved me BIG TIME!!! I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH!!! You made the video easy enough for me to fix it! Your awesome!!!
Great to hear! Knowledge is empowering! Thx for watching
Dude. You’re the man. You literally walked me thru every single step. Exactly the same as yours, except my sock was purple! Thank you so much for this.
So was mine
1 year later but purple sock here too!
Reggie, you have my deepest gratitude. Thank you for this easy to follow video. I was able to fix my washer myself and now feel like I could run the world with the confidence it has given me. My significant other is still staring at me with his mouth wide open which in addition to the money I saved is priceless. Thank you sir!!
Not all heroes wear capes. Thank you for taking the time to put up this video. It saved me a repair bill.
I really appreciate you taking the time to put this video together, I have a GE washer and it was making the humming sound and not spinning, although disassembling my GE washer is a bit different, after watching this vid I was able to go the water pump and saw that a wash cloth was stuck in there. You are amazing, you saved me how much it would have cost to have a repair guy come by. Thanks brother!
You sir are a god send. I couldn’t afford a new washer so I had to figure it out and watching your video helped me fix it!!!
Thank you for showing an example that was harder than normal. Repair videos usually make it seem so easy, and then they never tell you what to do if it is hard. Thanks a lot!
No Problem Daniel, thank you for watching
I am a 26 year old mom of 3 year old twins and literally zero experience with any type of repair, and I just fixed my washer by myself in under two hours with constant interruptions from my kids. I was envisioning $$$ to repair or replace it so I can’t believe it was completely free!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!
Awesome Job. Thanks for watching!
Thumbs up from me! I had a penny and part of a bra stuck in my filter!
SO thats where my lost socks go!?! hehe. Thank you so much for this video. Saved me so much time and money.
Dude, awesome video man!!! That was my exact problem, a damn baby sock!! Appreciate the help, my wife was about to go out and buy a new washer
How do you tell if belt is broken motor is running but not spinning
Connie George your motor might be throwing an error code. I have a GE washer. Could hear the motor running but not spinning. Watched a tutorial that shows how to reset the motor and completely fixed my problem
@@conniegeorge3638 one thing is you have a belt washer it's not easy you have to take you washer apart
Can you answer a question that is different? My washer will click to go into spin mode but won't continue unless I help get the spin going. What is cause?
Sounds like a bad capacitor or if you have other things plugged in the same Outlet could be caused by low amperage, try plugging into a different Outlet
As the manager/maintenance man at a small apartment complex this channel has been a blessing. 😇😎
Thank you Brother!
Hi Gary, I've a Kenmore 110 series. Intermittent drive motor. Peripherals are good(cap, lid switch & actuator). Pcb looks fine, but if I had a schematic I could verify; maybe a relay's output. Is there a way to bench test the motor?
You definitely saved me a few hundred bucks from trying to find a used replacement. This was the exact issue with a little white sock. All repaired and cleaner now too. Thank you!
I am a 62 year old woman who has never done anything to a washing machine except add soap and spin the knob. 3 year old washer wouldn't spin or drain. Did not want to pay hundreds of dollars to get my favorite plumber out here. Viola! As promised, the cabinet was a bear to put back on but- I'm doing laundry right now. Reggie, you are def the man of the year!
Thanks so much you saved me...... I couldn’t believe until I seen it for myself. Pulled the pump off and there was my sons sock🤦🏾
Look ...when he sticks the needle nose plyers in there just clamp whatever is in there and start twisting your pliers until it comes out. You dont need to twist the pliers after you have pulled some out because that is just harder. Twist while your pliera are still in the pump. But all in all GREAT VIDEO!!
Thank you so much! My washer wouldn’t drain or spin last night so I googled a bit and as soon as I found your video, I knew it was the problem you described. My dad came over and was able to follow your instructions and fix the blockage- only took us about 20 mins total (draining all the water into his wet vac took the most time!) You saved me a bunch of money. Really appreciate it.
Thank you so much for sharing! That motivates me to keep producing videos.
Great video. Well spoken while demonstrating...and filming. Lots to coordinate and still comes through in good order. Video is about two years old and it sure helped me tonight so thank you very much!
Thank you for the feedback. And thank you for watching
3 years later and still saving lives!!! 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾
Not only did you help me fix this you helped me score some brownie points with my landlady who didn’t have to come out and pay to have it fixed! Much love brother!!! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Great to hear!
I have a Maytag that will not spin
So many videos show one merely lifting the sock out like it's so easy every time. You encountered difficulty, showed viewers how to approach that problem & still come out on top. Very nicely done sir. Believe I have a washer that needs fix'n.
This is definitely NOT quick job !!!
Thank you so much. I am 38 weeks pregnant and my washer stopped spinning and draining. I landed on your video first, took apart the washer and fixed it myself. Very simple instructions. It was my toddlers sock! Thanks again!
Alyssa!! Your the definition of a super mom!!
Same here. This literally happened to me while washing before my new baby gets here on Tuesday. Doggone baby sock
Almost 37 weeks pregnant, and having the same problem! Washer stopped spinning and draining and baby will be here soon! Hopefully I can fix it myself.
Alyssa Zmudzinski 26 week pregnant here and about to do this myself
Try using a small mesh laundry bag for small items.
You are the man. Dealt with a dryer issue last year, took it apart twice and replaced multiple parts just to end up buying a new one. Washing machine had issues today and was about to not deal with it and buy a new one. Got to this video, gave it a try, and sure enough a little Frozen Elsa sock was stuck in there. Massive thanks.
Thank you brother, it took me like 4 hours to get it done but I was able to fix my washer, I was going to purchase a new one tomorrow but thanks to your video I was able to get fix it.
Awesome!
Thank you!! My husband is out of town and I totally fixed the washer!
💪🏾
Lovely lady, trust me, as one of the first wave of women in USAF aircraft maintenance, you can do anything that a guy can! It just a matter of being shown how! It’s totally BS that we can’t do the same things as a man. It’s just a way to keep us down.
This video is awesome. I recommend it to everyone male and female.
So now you have some confidence go conquer the maintenance world women!
By the way, the Military found
some thing that did the work of five men, One woman.😁
@@LeanOnYourRep I live that this video gave you the confidence and know how to try! Knowledge is power! Good videos like this that explain and show clearly what to do are an awesome inspiration!
Great job lady 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I just pulled a sock out of mine ☺️ and it’s working fine 👍🏽
Thanks so much Reggie. This is a great video tutorial. I had viewed a couple others which were also great. But your video surpass them because your washer example happened to be the particular one I had that did not have the screws on the back. So I had to use the putty knife. I cannot thank you enough for such a great video. Much thanks again.
Reggie I watched your at 11:30 pm. my wife told me at 11pm that machine wood not pump out. I took a quick look.
Watched 4 videos, your take on the problem sounded like my issue. Went back down at 11:50pm. So I flipped it back to the wall pulled out the pump found a purple 2 x 2 washer cloth. Since “ prince “ hasn’t visited since the 80’s , it was my wife’s make up remover pad. Some how found its way in the hamper. I was done and back upstairs at 12:15 am.
I thank you for you help and quick find and perfect explanation. Any boiler questions I will return the favor. Eric
Saved my skin. Almost to the “t”, same deal, appreciate the video. A little tough getting that housing/face back on just right, but the rest was quick and easy. Thanks again!
Awesome. You nailed it. Exactly the problem with my washer. I was looking at replacing the timer, the motor, Etc. Then checked for the motor...did not spin. Pulled the pump and it did spin! Sure enough a small piece of cloth stuck in the pump. Pulled it out, put it back, and it started up and drained just fine. The fact that it was humming like you said is what gave it away, motor was trying to turn. Will be a hero when the wife gets home! Saved me hundreds, thanks! :-)
Awesome!!!!
Soooo helpful!! As soon as you explained how the obstruction happens I had an aha! moment. Last thing I washed was my cat’s little bed but I noticed some of the stuffing came out into the washer and I had a hard time pulling it out. Specifically the pieces hanging out from the top of the drum that had gotten into in the same area where you explained socks typically get stuck. Apparently I didn’t get it all and have to take my washer apart now lol but at least I know the problem!! Thank you 🙏
Thank you so much! We literally went shopping for some decent used washers (very unsuccessful)because ours was aging and I assumed something might happen with it in the near future and yesterday it had the exact same symptoms you showed in the video. I thought "I knew it. I knew the time was coming". BUT- thanks to This most helpful info, we're able to hold off on the big purchase for now. My 19 yr old daughter and I were able to do this whole job after I got off work before my husband made it home! What a great feeling to give the surprise "WE DON'T actually need to buy a new washer!" We are all elated. Thank you thank you!
Omg this video just help me fix my washer thank you for this video 😍
Reggie you are a life saver. I've never worked on a washing machine before nor am I mechanically savy. You diagnosed the problem for me, and I was able to remove the sock easily. Thank you friend
Excellent video! I had 1 sock and 2 pieces of weed eater string 😂😂
My problem evolved over 2-3 days Started with having to run spin cycle a couple times then it wouldn’t drain. Very easy to repair! I slid mine out and tilted back and let it rest against the wall and had access to get it from underneath. Thanks again for doing what you do!
That's what I'm going to try first after I get the water out. The oven, fridge and washing machine all have problems within a few months. Jesus please take the wheel bc I'm tired
Thank you SOOOO SO much for this video!! I ordered a new washer last night to replace my 29 year old Whirlpool that would hum and wasn't spinning, or draining. I got into it and fished my 2 year old's sock out of the pump!!! Luckily I was able to cancel the order and get my money back!!
You are such an excellent teacher! Your video diagnosed the problem and walked me through step by step. I used your other video to learn how to put the panel back on. You have saved me so much money. Thank you, thank you! So many of us have benefited from your knowledge. Thank you so much!
Thanks Lisa, glad to hear my videos helped
awesome instructions, my prob sounded the same for my maytag but upon looking my belt slipped off. its located on the very bottom,but your vid inspired me to try one more time before giving up!!! i subbed also.
Glad you got it fixed!
During the freeze here in Oklahoma my washing machine failed so, I was looking for videos how to repair them and your video popped up and I watched it. I took off the water pump and seen where the Motor spindle goes on to the pump and it was cracked and today I picked up a new water pump and it seems to be working great!
Thank you for your tip on how to troubleshoot the issue and I watch the video on how to put the shroud back on and it worked to perfection! Thanks again
Awesome! Stay Warm!
Thank you so much, I just fixed my pump toddler sock stuck and stuck good. Took some doing but, I got it and we are back in clean clothes.
Thank you for this information. Saved me from a new washer. Repairman said it was the timer and wanted to charge me over $400. I replaced the timer myself and the problem still existed so I found your video and sure enough, something was lodged in the pump.
Awesome and sad to hear that the repairman misdiagnosed it
@@LeanOnYourRep My repair man from Sears who services Maytag told me I needed a $600 pump. He never checked the lid switch or the pump drain. Did not move the stackable out to check the drain. He had no card and asked him for the part number, said he sending email receipt and did but it did no have the model number on it. Guess he forgot?
Complained and they are sending a different person tomorrow, but who knows maybe they cover for one another, or ?? Cannot believe it is the motor since it runs to agitate the load.
Thank you Reggie for your demonstration! Well done, even when the going got tough! Today is Memorial Day, and with all the holidays, my luck has it that at least one home appliance has to break down on a holiday (my walk behind mower drive also quit being self-propelled today) my washer would not go into the spin cycle, so after checking the lid switch, capacitor and belt for functionality, now I'll check out the pump for an obstruction. (after pumping out the water out of the drum, I found out how my wife is laundering money and also found one of her little socks under the agitator) If I need parts I will buy from your website! this is the kind of advertising that gets my attention! Bravo!
Me too 😳😭
Me too 😳😭
Randall Crawford: I've done money laundering too literally.
Mannnn, you are definitely the MAN!!!! I appreciate this video you made, because it was exactly what I needed to do to get my washer working again!!! My 2 year old baby boy sock got in there, it was really difficult to get out, but I am now 1 for 1!!!! Lol... Thanks again!!!!!
What up this tim
Reggie, a billion times thank you!!! You are a life saver. Such a simple dilemma that's causing a major headache. We almost spent $100+ on a new motor or $50 on a new capacitor or $2500 on a new W/D set. You're a godsend. Cheers to you!!
Awesome! Responses like yours motivate me to make more videos. Love sharing information pay it forward. Thank you so much God bless you and your family
God Bless You and yours brother! Merry Christmas 🎄!!! Now I have enough funds to spoil my kids and wife (although my wife had her eyes on a new WD set... LOL)
I have been showing ppl this for years. But they dont listen due to the way they think they know you
So that's where all the odd socks go.😁
Thank you, sir.
The video is wonderful. Your explanations and persistence does you credit.
Thank You!
Thank you so much fixed my washer in 30 mins.
Bro. You're the first video i watched and with work and everything it took me 3 weeks to try what your video said and this is exactly what's wrong. It took me like 25 minutes maybe. And I didn't even have to do as much as you did I just put it on its side and pulled everything from the bottom. The hardest part was getting the damn metal straps back on with almost no room to see or anything but one of my goals was to start trying to fix more stuff around my house by myself. Because I would have just spent like $150 on a used washing machine and for what? Thank you!
You the man Reggie! Much appreciated l, got us back up and running.
The second you mentioned baby socks, I knew that was it. Fixed the washer right up. Thank you very much!
oh my gosh....THANK YOU!!! I like ur approach to explaining it and perfectly detailed. Not too slow and not too fast...ur the best. I am now a subscriber.
Awesome Mary, thank you so much for your feed back.
Thanks so much for the diagnostic. I had to replace my pump and it works great now! And you're right, putting the shell back on was a pain in the butt!
This video saved me! My husband was preparing to purchase a new washing machine, which wasn't in our plan, until I found this video. We have 4 young children, with 3 under the age of 4, and a ton of laundry. It was indeed a baby sock jamming the pump! Thank you so much!!!
Put the small items, socks in a zippered lingerie bag. Much cheaper than calling for service or down time.
Thanks I just fix my thank you so much
Thank you for generously sharing your knowledge with calm and expertise. When you were patiently removing the sock, you had me laughing out loud, where in real life I'd be crying out loud. I will cherish this lesson for the next time I reach that point, and I will! Butterknife is my most prized tool in the pink tool box!
Mari Larsen: I'd call my repairman Jack to retrieve anything stuck I'm the pump. He has his own replace repair business and can fix just about anything.
PS probably have plenty of time as I have spent time fixing My own years ago socks disappear especially The kid's socks LoL 😂 The time to fix it is worth it your video helped
Thanks for the vid. This was exactly what I needed. I’m pretty handy but this is the first time taking a washer apart.
You right bro... you always win..
Nice video thanks for the help. I would buy a machine from you any day.. Honesty is the best policy
Thanks buddy I just pulled a sock out of mine. 👌🏽
Did anybody else struggle to detach the machine cover from front right corner? There seems to be an attachment there for me, but none for him 5:59
Dude you have “stick tuitiveness”!! You get stuff done. You are an inspiration
Thank you for share shown your job. My washer machine won’t draining . Now I knew and I will do fix . Again thank you so much !
Yo my wife thinks I’m some type of half god half man after I fixed the washer. Thanks man.
You the Man!!!
HAHAHAHAA! That is precious lol
I just told my husband that he's got this. We don't need to call a repair man!!
Hopefully you got some that night my brotha Lol
9 months later I’m still a god among men!
Yeah man you saved my ass.. Had to get the kids clothes washed before school and looked at this vid, it was a pair of my daughters underwear. Thank you! Bruh this shit is unreal i never have the exact problem im looking up
Amazing video. Thanks so much for posting. People don't realize how much this helps people who ain't got money to call a pro or replace things. Truly, thank you
Your very welcome. Thank you for watching.
Thank you so much! Could not afford a washer replacement right! A lighter was stuck in the pump!
I have to add my thank you to the long list of people you’ve helped fix their washer themselves! Thank you for leading me right to the toddler sock stuck in the pump :)
Your very welcome. Thank you for watching
I can’t wait to disassemble mine and hopefully fix it! I
Thank you so much! You are wonderful to share your knowledge in a way we can all understand!
Thank you so much! You just saved my family $700 when we needed it most. All the very best to you and yours!
Awesome to hear! Its not easy fixing something for the first time. So you earn the $700. 🙂
Thank you so much for this video, I have changed the pump and motor coupler and its still not draining or spinning. Could it be the motor?
Thank you so much. Was about to buy a new washer. Pulled my pump off and what do you know a kids sock stuck in the pump. Works great now that the sock is removed.
hi
Dead on my brotha! Thanks for the helpful video. Got er fixed and the wife is happy again, for now.
Totally going to check it out. I was stuck after the lid switch had already been bypassed. Roommate bought it for $50 and hopefully theres a sock in the pump they can sell it for 150! Thanks
Take a cordless screw gun put a half inch bit hit it a couple of times it grabs sock,and pull ,put in reverse to back out if it don't come out.
Got to say the information I found in this video was very useful. I was working on a general electric washer but it basically came down to the same thing. The washer ate a pillow and the fluff clog the drain so it wouldn't drain at all. But I was able to pull the drain out and get the drum spinning again. Thanks a lot
That maybe why my washer not agitating or spin but it will go and all the Cycles on the keyboard but it's not doing a spinning or agitating. Thanks Im try this tomorrow.
Oh man, I always watch some video that makes repairs look really easy and as I get into it, it ends up being less simple. I had the same symptoms but nothing clogging the pump. After that I got intimidated and called a repair guy. He said it was a capacitor or timer. The capacitor would be an extra $110 after his $65 just to come out, which he couldn't guarantee would fix it, or the timer which would be $450 and I might as well get a new one. I think I'm getting a new washer after spilling too much water on the floor and stressing myself out taking my washer apart (I don't mistake myself that any "repairs" I attempt could go horribly wrong). Happy to see this helped many people.
