    I thank you for getting right to the point on how to remove the top cover and cabinet removal and not posting minutes about safety and stuff that has nothing to do with removing the parts

  • @ryanclay959
    @ryanclay959 2 роки тому +6

    This is a very good video. I am a licensed mechanical contractor and I work on Refrigeration and HVAC equipment so appliance repair is a easy thing for me but being that I don't do it every day, it can be a a few minutes to figure out how to take the stuff apart and most videos are just waste of time about safety and unplugging it and more safety and they only get to the point after several minutes of safety and it is just a bother! This man got right to the point of how to get the cabinet removal and open the top cover and I am thankful for that

    • @ryanclay959
      @ryanclay959 2 роки тому +2

      And on a second note, if a person who wants to take it apart and has no knowledge about electric connections or moving part's that can hurt you? Then they really need to be calling someone else who knows what they are doing and avoiding getting hurt.

    First video I clicked on and it had everything I needed and quickly explained it all. I took the tide pod lift off and in a 1 in a million shot. It slipped in-between the cabinets and the tub. This was a 5 minute fix thanks to you.

    Just FYI some models have a small screw right behind the control panel on both sides. You have to unscrew those and there are also two plastic tabs to pop. Then it comes right up. I didn't need to use the putty knife because mine was diffeent.

    • @gdaniel4191
      @gdaniel4191 17 днів тому

      Yours sounds like mine, there are no brass colored springs on it, just two plastic pieces that snap in. However, now I can't get mine to stay in and it's flopping!

    if you have the end cap model there are two screws at the back i think you need 1/4 nut driver. then there are two Philips going down from the end cap into the washer top that are some what hidden. after that control panel sides forward and lifts off ( no hinges )

    I have an old washer - 26 years old! I love this washer but it wouldn't start unless you slammed the lid down..and today it just wouldn't start. I didn't know what to look up on youtube - what was the part called? Found this video and within the first minute he named the part that I think I need...the lid switch! why didn't I think of that? Thank You!! (wife not husband posted this-lol)

    This was quite helpful! When my top load washer first starts to fill, there is a bubbling sound in the bottom of the tub. Is this serious, any idea what causes this?

  • @kumarbhatia6566
    @kumarbhatia6566 3 роки тому +4

    Great video - helped a lot today to open up our washer. The suspension spring was disconnected and causing a crazy tub wobble. The hole used on the frame to secure the spring had rusted away. For now, just using a different but tight hole for the same spring. Later will drill a fresh one onto the frame nearby. Thank you.

    Great. Now, is there any trick to putting the cabinet back into place? Looks like it might take a bit of maneuvering.

      Feeling the same but will try to put the cabinet back on as it was. Not easy to do without more hands.

    • @OldSubSailorJKP
      @OldSubSailorJKP 2 роки тому

      I determined that to reassemble, open the lid to the chassis as you reassemble the casing to the chassis. It allows yo to see the slots and tabs for easier reassembly. I was able to reassemble the machine with no other assistance.
