    Perfect. It was an absolutely great walk through. Took me very little time to fix mine. Thanks.

    At the end, I was amazed that the dryer started up without being plugged back in! (at least being shown plugged back in)

    These directions were absolutely perfect and easy to follow.. My adult son with autism and I were able to fix our dryer for the cost of the part, which was about $7 instead of having to call an appliance repair company.Thank you!!!

    Went from "won't stop when door is opened", (switch is ordered 2dys b4) to "won't do anything" (light is now on steady}. I popped the top to nut the wires so we could run the wet load that was in it. I went to youtube when I saw the three wires. this was the perfect vid to get the answer. First one I clicked on. Thanks.

    Good tips.
    I had the same issue with missing screws on a used Whirlpool dishwasher last weekend we installed.
    The two that hold the toe-kick to the unit.
    I checked a hundred screws that I keep on hand and luckily the very last two that I tried actually fit!
    Like you said, the OE screws were around $20 each! ✌🏻to that! 😎

    • @WordofAdviceTV
      @WordofAdviceTV  2 роки тому +1

      That's a great things to have in a tool bag! A bag/container with a variety of screws. Just like with your experience, it helped me out quite a few times too. A pouch with random screws has been a great addition to my tool bag. I learned this from a senior tech who had half a bucket of random screws and nuts in his truck... 😅

    Two hunters were dragging a deer they had just shot back to their truck. Each one had a grip on a rear leg.
    As they passed by an old Indian, he commented that the deer would pull a lot easier if they pulled it by the front legs because of the direction that the deer’s hair lays.
    So the hunters each began pulling by the front legs.
    After a few minutes, one of them says, “Boy! This is alot easier". Yes, says the other one, but we sure are getting a lot further from the truck....
