- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- If your washing machine isn't spinning or washing properly watch this video before you try to buy a new one ($300 to $3000) or call a tech to look at it ($50 to $300).
You can fix it yourself in minutes using little to no tools and only spending as little as $9.00 on a new machine belt or $30 for a new drain pump module.
I have the popular top loader portable Haier HLP21N machine but the design is the same on all different brands and sizes whether the load topside or front load.
Thank you so much. I literally just changed out the belt in like 15 min. I can’t believe I found a tutorial on this. Ur video saved me from getting a new one
This guy is the only one who is correct here in youtube about washing machine not spinning. THANK you.
I have just gotten one step closer to being the smartest man on Earth, Thanks
GREAT VIDEO, SIR! You make it so easy to do. Now I am going to get a belt and I will try to do it myself, just like you showed it in this FANTASTIC video. Thank you very much.
Thank you! Thank you! Your video helped me so much! I’m a single women living in a tiny house. I watched your video, ordered the part, when it arrived I fixed it myself in 15 minutes.
Hello sorry to bother you do you know where the I can purchase the belt
Hey cam you tell me why my mini washer drains the water while filling up for a wash load
@@janicepedrick1976 This one is easy, it's because you don't have a 90 degree angle on the drain hose. The drain hose needs to go up at a 90 degree from the machine (there should have been a zip strip holding it up that way) then down to drain. If you leave the hose down at the floor level there's no seal to stop gravity from pulling the water out. Think of it like a trap under your sink. It needs that curve to seal the water from moving.
@@Inolvidable_213 anyword as to what the name of hose is called and where to buy it?
@@Imnobodyk mines a single tub costway from Amazon it just today stard stalling during agitation I have to keep rearranging the clothes to get them untangled...so ...wtf ? I just unboxed it and installed it 2 days ago so it's brand new I've only used it the way you're supposed to
Thank you bro , you made me a very happy man , I bought this machine for my girlfriend 2 years ago , I bought it from a Colombian woman , kept telling girlfriend not to loaded up so much , so started to malfunction, so decided to watch repair vids , I found yours , it was a blessing for two reasons ……..I am so static , joyful , once I took the back plastic cover off to my surprise, I noticed I large ziplock plastic bag stashed inside with some sort of package wrapped on a cotton fabric , Lord behold !! After opening bag unwrapping whatever was in package we found $9 k dollars neatly wrapped in the dirty cotton cloth , so this was a very nice Christmas present , thank you , and thank Santa . Second we noticed the belt was kind of worn out .
Gracias amigo , we are getting a new belt , and we will be donating part of this money to a shelter .
😮
Thank you for helping all of us . Bless you and yours
Thank you so much!! Bought this on marketplace used, seller didn't tell me it was broken, so you saved my purchase 😅😅 many thanks from a single mom!
Thank you! This video gives me hope that I don't need to buy a whole new machine.
Fantastic video! I got one of these from a neighbor and I love it. Just wanted to do a bit of maintenance on it and this video empowers me to do it. Thank you for encouraging us to repair instead of trashing these goods 🌎
My husband is repairing our little Harry with the same symptoms. This is an excellent tutorial, thank you.
This is an awesome video; I have saved it to my "Home Repairs" folder.
I've also been inspired to open the back of my new washer again, and note what kind of belt it uses. I've only used my washer four times, but there's a carpet of what looks like tiny bits of shredded belt underneath it. I'll be buying a replacement belt now in case supply chain issues make that impossible in a future time when the present belt finally fails.
I decided to search up tutorials for fixing my machine before I trash it. I'm definitely opening it up and hope it is only the belt that's the issue. Thank you.
Great video! Thanks for sharing! What’s the part number for the belt??
Did you find the belt and where plz
This video is clear, to the point and relatable. Thank you!
I bought mine second hand and had to immediately put it outside. It was riddled with mold but I needed it badly and went through allot of trouble to get it. After washing it several times with vinegar it was almost completely mold free. I learned that I needed to put a cup of vinegar in it to prevent mold from growing back. In short, keep your machine opened, aired and use vinegar to prevent mold from growing.
Nice DIY tutorial, man! Your video helped me tremendously to fix my friend's washer that wasn't draining out the water. I wish all DIY tutorials were similar to yours.
Hi. Did you swapped the draining pump or the belt or both?
Thank You for your video!! I've had the small washer for 7+yrs & today had to replace rubber hose. I'm going to change the belt, thanks to your informative video & description of other issues. Thanks again for making this!!!
Thank you so much for making this video! The machine I bought at the start of the pandemic has just crapped out on me. I definitely don't have the money to buy a new washer or to pay for a repair technician. I have the confidence to make the repairs now :)
Thanks a million; one of the best video's on the internet 👏👍🏼 You're saving people a lot of 💰
Trying to find a diagram for the unit to get to the lid sensor. You are the only person show any repair work at all. Appreciate your video.
Wow thank u so much I'm a senior and on a fixed income .thank you so much.your a big help to me.
Which belt do I order? Can you please put the link or exact description of the belt you bought?
This was a great video! Have a belt on order. My washer didn't come with wheels. It's hard to believe that a PORTABLE machine doesn't have wheels! LoL I bought a little cart for portable washing machines because I couldn't get casters on it!
I decided to go ahead and replace the drain hose while I have the machine tilted into the bathtub (thanks for that tip too!) Because it's old and yucky! LoL
Thank you so much for the video!
Great tutorial. I Needed a new draining hose and felt I could replace it myself. After taking the back off, my Haier washer,(smaller version), I saw that there was still some water left in the tub after washing a small load. This wasn't visible from looking inside the tub Didn't know how I would remedy this until i saw your video....the TUB...of course. I was thinking of buying plastic drop cloths, etc. hoping that that would be enough. Thank you for your view from the bottom of the machine. I now feel that I can complete this task myself. Thank you for your video.
Where did you get the tube from ?
Amazing tip with that socket wrench.
Dude you’re a lifesaver. I was just about to order a new machine. I think I need a belt & a pump 🧐
Did you ever buy a belt and pump? Mines not draining, did yours start working?
@@Imnobodyk No i actually didnt, id planned on ordering the parts and changing them myself but i couldnt due to injury and decided it wasnt worth it if i had to pay someone else to do the work. I gave it to someone bc i didnt just want to throw it out.
Thank you .I was about to order new machine ,you saved me $$$$
Thank you 🙏
We have this washer. When in spin it really makes a banging noise. We have checked that it's not off balance but sounds like something banging. Thanks
What a champ. Thanks for the video, mate. I actually came on here as my machine (same Haier as yours) is making a loud buzzing noise when it drains. Likely the drainage pump but I'm also going to replace the belt as it's so simple to do. Extremely informative and perfectly presented. Cheers.
Can anybody tell me where to find a belt for this machine
Name : 0-408E replacement belt
Awesome video (albeit longer than necessary). The trick with the 13mm helped to put on the new belt. Thank you! 👍🏼
You are very welcomed 👍
Thank you!!! Very help!! You speak clearly and well.
Thanks for the information, I do have the same exact washing machine, its been 4 years now going strong! Fingers crossed🤞🏼
Thank you for your awesome video. I have a leak in the hose from the tub to the pump. Got some ideas from watching your video.
Thank you so much your videos save me $ 300 dollars
Glad to help out Funnycotton!!! Happy New Years!
Thank you very much for the helpful video! Could you please send me the part number of the belt or the link to purchase it? Thanks in advance and have a good day!
NEW V BELT for HAIER WD-0350-21 HLP021WM HLP20E HLP21E HLP21N HLP021 XQBM22C
Are replacement belts on portable washing machine all standard size? I have a 1.0 cu.ft. Farberware washing machine and can not find a replacement belt. Can you tell me where I might purchase one.
Did you find a belt and where plz
OMG the video I needed! Now to take my broken machine out of storage and fix it!
Thanks!
Glad I can help. Go fix it my friend.
Thank you for this video, super easy to follow, going to tackle this tomorrow, you just saved me a WHOLE lot of $$$$!!!
Clear descriptions, great angles , wonder what else your channel has to offer. Awesome knowledge exchange
Thanks man, that’s a great tutorial you have made. I’m thinking mine is the pump as it will only drain when the waste pipe is lower than the hole at the back…gravity only working.
Does yours stop working completly because this my problem niw I don't know if I should belt ir pumb any I dea ?
Hi, thanks for the video. I have a Magic Chef brand and hear a clicking sound when the washers changes direction clockwise and counter clock wise. This sound is very annoying and sounds like something is broken. Please let me know if you or some of your viewers know. Thank you in advance.
I'm on my second Haier HLP21N and I love it! The first was refurbished but worked fine until it didn't. It took some trial and error to realize it was a cracked lid. If the lid does not register as closed, it will fill with water but never pulse. Bought a new lid but the pin that holds it in was impossible, impossible, impossible to put back together! Got another one, used, because this has been discontinued. I'm surprised you bought a new one in 2020. It worked almost as well and I was super careful with the lid. But the plastic is very prone to cracking, and that's what it did! Oh no, here we go again, but at least now I knew the issue was the lid, not 100 other things. I superglued the cracked piece back on. But putting the lid on seemed to be impossible again, until I got it just right and now my machine is back working ... except it has developed a leak on the bottom. I will check your other videos and if you haven't fixed a similar problem, I hope you will consider it! I just subscribed. Thanks for the video, even though it wasn't the problem I had, I may just replace the belt anyway. Listen, everyone, be careful with your lid and don't store stuff on it!
Thank you so much..Great video ♡
I have an exact same washing machine.
Where can I buy this belt??
Amazon type n O408E hlp21n it should come right up
Thank you so much for your video. Iam having a different problem! Apparently theirs a small spigot in the back of the drum that shoots water .u uploaded a short
How can I fix that??
Good quality video and narration. 1st thing I noticed about your fan belt is...... not to replace the belt yet as it's not that worn, but tighten the pulley so the belt is tighter, retighten the pulley nut. So....how do I "fix" the water level sensor? Is the water level sensor in any way synched to the agitation cycle? My water wouldn't turn off automatically and the agitator isn't working. I'm guessing my water level sensor.
Where’d you buy the belt
Hey great DIY video. I have two questions - (1) Can an extremely worn out belt also cause leaks? My washing machine (exact same make and model as yours) is leaking with no visible leaks from the hoses or pipes. After watching your video I opened and checked my machine and the belt was extremely loose and completely shredded with pieces stuck to the sides like soot. (2) where did you buy the belt from? I am unable to find it. Thanks.
Mine just stopped spinning this week for the first time and I got it back in June of 2020. It also started sparking near the bottom when it would start spinning. I hope just replacing the belt will fix mine.
Hey Virgil. Replacing the belt should work if you go under the machine and find the belt that is there now to be loose and floppy. I'm not sure about the sparks. Lol. Could be clothing jammed up in something. Good luck and Becareful!
I also have Haie portable washer top-load, which I LOVE SO MUCH! It almost similar to this one. It has been washing my clothes very well, but recently my washer started making loud noise when spinning, and the bolt in the center of the drum (at 11:53 ), gets loose during washing cycles. Do you think its also the belt issue?
thank you so much for this. I did exactly as you directed and yay! It works perfectly.
How can I fix the agitator ? I need help can’t figure it out
I loved your Video. My Hairer machine is making a clicking sound when I wash my clothes.
I took the bk off but couldn't see anything. Can I turn it on it's front?
Is there oil in there? Is it dangerous??? Pls help, thank you! ❤❤❤ I will wait for your reply!
Where can I purchase the hose for this model
6:05… Nobody is going to pay $300 to fix a machine they can get for $288 new (online only). A machine almost exactly like your Haier HLP21N (but it’s an HLP21E) is sitting right outside my apartment dumpster right now. I’m debating whether to pull it inside my unit and try to fix it, depending upon how the rest of this video goes. I appreciate your video very much, as the washer down our hallway has been broken down for a long time. And it doesn’t look like it’s ever going to get fixed.
Did you fix it?
Very helpful. Thank you!
what size is that belt?
thank you for sharing the video but the laundry I have is the same as you now it's not turning on it's off when it's washed so when I turn it on it didn't work for me is anyway you can help me
My machine it was quite when is spinning but now is to laud Do you thing I have to replace it too!

Omg...you make it look so easy. Now my washer (moosoo mw45) when i start it up shows me E4, all it oes is beep but nothing will happen it wont fill , wont wash, wont do anything. Please help if possible...thank you beforehand.
i have an issue with same washer machine ..was working fine before ,but top lid piece broKE so i had to replace it with a new lid cover but now keeps filling up with water but wont stop ,,what seem to be the problem?
I have a Comfee portable washer that's clicking loudly on the spin cycle. Any info on what that is? Is it worth trying to fix myself?
Any advice on how to do the drain pump! Please help! :-) I just ordered the pump but I dont know how to remove and replace it.
Where did you order it? Because I need one and no one can find one for me
Could you add a link to the belt??
Hi. Do you know how to disconnect the draining hose from the machine? What tools are needed? Please kindly advise. Thank you!
Hi there. My washer will spin but not agitate. From watching your videos, it looks like the shifter/actuator must be broken. It's juts a small Haier portable washer (HLPN21) and I've already fitted a new belt. Do you know how to fix/replace that part? It looks nothing like this one, unfortunately. Thank you.
Thank you so much for you very accurate information
How do you do a master reset on a Haier?
My machine do no start can you recommend something
Hey from where u got the belt?
lol thanks fillip to do what you advised, mine was different😚 butttt I did find that my drain hose was plugged with a dryer sheet….how right so clueless thanks
Thanks a lot for this video.
What the black box called on left hand side please..urgent
I have pulled mine apart got these white plastic grindy teeth wheel things and can't remember how put back together..I have no diagram on what goes where
Thank you! Extremely helpful and $$ savings. Have you experienced water leaking from the bottom?
Hey Alex. If you find water leaking from the bottom and there is no holes or structural damage to the drum then the drain pump and drain hoses need to be replaced. Thanks
I have the same exact washer but my haier washer wont hold water...what could I do?
I have the same washer from haier. The ground on the plug broke. I have the replacement plug with ground....i just dont know which color wire is the ground
the washing machine does not switch to another operation after washing. spins and does not stop. what could be the reason. thanks.
such a helpful video! Could you tell me What's the model of the belt and where you got it? You flipped it too fast, I can't even take a screenshot and take a closer look at it😅. Thank you!
Did you figure it out? He hadn’t replied to anyone who asked what kind of belt to get that I can see and I need to order one too!
Do you have a video on how to fix the water leaking? my washer doesn't keep the water in. Looks exactly like that one.
What is the part number for the belt please ?
Do you know what to do if the machine doesn't stop filling?
What kind of belt model is it?
Do you know why my machine is not pumping out water? Can you teach me how to replace it? Thank you!
Hello I have a comfee portable washer and exotic last year everything's been going good but all of a sudden out it washes it turns when it's washing but when it's time to rent and spin it just kind of makes a little not like a if it's too tight it just goes like it's trying to push itself to turn but it doesn't turn
Did you figure it out? I just ordered that washing machine I was taken aback and has a glass lid but I did not cancel the order I hope it works well for me my haier is 13 years old (23e) and working on a repair on it right now if I can't do it I'll just fill it with buckets that's the only problem. . The fill inlet is kind of blocking the water it's not that the inlet valve is clogged or anyting but like I say I can just fill it with a bucket if I can't get it working but I'm looking forward to the comfee
Do you have anything on unclogging the drain pump?
You're awesome. Thank you. Smart man. Thanks for sharing.
Hi! How are you?
Can you tell us the # of the belt?
I try in ebay but is not giving me the right number
So I hope you still look at this!!So E2. Well opened the back and pillowcase was in there. I started the machine over it worked and then E2!! I'm not sure what to do. My machine isn't that old but still please help!!
if my belt is fine, if it is agitating, but not spinning out, any ideas what else it could be?
The drain pump module ( I show it in this video) should be replaced. That tends to wear out too. It's plug out plug in module and should be easy to be replaced.
Do you know what the fix would be when your portable washer is too loud? like it feels like tis dragging on to something
My issue is my washer is leaking from the console but I’m not sure what tube to get to replace and I’m passed the warrenry
Thank you for your help. Bless your heart.
Thank you for this. I’m a 73 year old woman who likes to tackle my own repairs if at all possible.
I’ve been looking for info on why there is water under the drum in my portable Avanti washing machine. There is a little plug in the back that will drain a tiny bit of water and collects some lint- and I found a dime in it once- but after I release the water there is still water sloshing around.
It seems to drain fine when doing laundry- the clothes aren’t unduly wet and there is no water left in the drum- the hoses have water left in them though. I don’t know if that’s normal.
Everything gets extremely tangled up though if you have a couple of pairs of jeans and long sleeve tops it’s one tangled mess- you have to unbraid it. Lol… so maybe something in the spinning is screwed up. Or the pump.
Anyway, I thought I would have to take off the top and couldn’t figure out how- not to mentioned terrified I wouldn’t be able to get it back on properly. .. now I know I can take off the bottom and see what’s going on in there- though a flood of water might pour out.
And I’m going to buy an extra belt just to have it around.
Thanks again. You made a great video!
Ms. Ohmercy, you have inspired me to try and tackle this myself ( I am 65 yrs old ) got my machine in the bath tub, took the bottom off and removed the worn out belt. Unfortunately the manufacturer does not have the replacement belt. Any suggested places to look for it?
@@patriciapersonett2365 Not sure if you have the HLP21N machine but I would bet that you can replace that belt at any appliance parts store. Bring it with you if you can't find the part number in a manual or online.
Thank you 😊
My machine don't DRAIN the water. Can you do a video on how to fix that. I know you say it's easy but I would like to see a visual. I would appreciate it. Just got it from Craigslist for $5 bucks. My boyfriend but a new DRAINING HOSE. Now just need to know about the DRAINING pump. I have to put the hose in a bucket to drain out the water. Then dump it in the sink. Like 4x.. Very tiring.
Did you figure it out ?
This really helped me, thanks!!
