    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 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.

    I have a question.What can I use to paint the steel gray washing machines?

    • @HarperandKnowles
      @HarperandKnowles  3 місяці тому

      Steel grey washers??? Perhaps you are talking about stainless steel finishes? I don't think they were made to paint, only to polish. I wouldn't know what paint to use to cover them. Thanks for watching!

    Picked up a hotpoint washer htw240ask6ws, that fills nonstop,even while it's unplugged, could it be a bad water inlet valve?

    What are the green sticks you melted down to fix the tub cracks? That was an awesome repair!!!

    • @HarperandKnowles
      @HarperandKnowles  6 місяців тому +1

      Those are called plastic welding rods. Someone that worked on the pipeline gave them to Mr. Harper. I can’t find the exact ones on the internet but they sell them for all kinds of plastics. I’m not sure which to get though. Different plastics don’t work well together. I need to figure out which one I need for tubs. Thanks for watching!

      Your voice sounds just like my uncle Rodney's in Missoura😊 I was just working on one of those today. just wanted to clean the plastic tub ,but I couldn't get the metal one out. The bottom bearing was seized for the triangle plate on the shaft, lordy sure done pissed me off. Keep posting great vids😊

    Hello, my GE washer gtw335 will work sometimes...but then it starts filling and agitating but then when its time to drain and spin...the lid lock clicks on and off twice and then the machine just shuts down. No straining noise or anything. Ive changed belt, lid switch twice, speed sensor and the mode shifter. It worked twice after all that and then continues to cut itself off after first agitation. I dont know what to try next. Maybe the drum parts? Ive watched tons of your videos and looked at comments but Im stumped. Do you have any suggestions? Please

    • @pennyt5705
      @pennyt5705 6 місяців тому

      I've checked inside drain pump

    • @HarperandKnowles
      @HarperandKnowles  6 місяців тому

      Wow, it sounds like you just about have a new machine there after changing all those parts! Unfortunately it is impossible to give you anything other than an educated guess and those are awfully prone to failure. I think I’d suspect the control board. Are you certain that there isn’t an issue with the bearings failing. No signs of water leakage around the gear case? A roaring sound in the spin diagnostic?

    • @pennyt5705
      @pennyt5705 6 місяців тому

      There isn't any leaks

    • @pennyt5705
      @pennyt5705 6 місяців тому

      On diagnostic it won't spin but no fault displays

    • @HarperandKnowles
      @HarperandKnowles  6 місяців тому

      Does it make a noise like it is going to spin then stops?
