Dryer Takes TOO Long to dry!!! Not Drying Well.
มุมมอง 233ปีที่แล้ว
I found this dryer on the side of the road. I picked it up to see if it was worth repairing for resale. A few problems were found. It would heat but not dry. The rollers, door switch, rear felt seal were bad. I replaced and painted and it has already been sold for $175.00. Here's the story. Enjoy.

Whirlpool Suspension Rods Are Cheaper Online!
มุมมอง 376ปีที่แล้ว
Yep, Appliance Parts ARE cheaper online, but how about the quality? Some parts are okay, but not the majority. Your local Appliance Parts businesses are about gone, thanks to online shoppers. I've stopped answering my phone because of the numerous calls for cheap parts. I am now simply providing in shop repairs. You can't buy THAT online. FYI.

If the inner tub is solid, then it’s the suspension?
I was halfway through my comment telling you to buy that from Ben's Appliance when you popped up with an edit saying you messed up.
will this work on a Whirlpool Cabrio Washer with the see through lid?
I depends on the model number of the machine.
Bro you are crazier than a "shit house mouse" but I love the video Even though I don't think it has anything to do with my washer because it has that stupid agitator in the middle but still I just wanted to watch your video just cuz it was entertaining and still educating LOL🤘
LOL. That's me. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Hi, mine isn’t pumping any water… can you help we with the pump?? Please
Thank you sir. Very entertaining too!
I absolutely loved your video, especially the part with the face and the flashlight-it was so creative and captivating!
Thank you very much for your comment. I'm touched. Little known fact, I play that character. Dr. Paul Bearer. I'm now on the Nostalgia Channel. www.watchnost.com/drpaulbearer
Nicely done. Good work. Wish I had this model Maytag. Learned some from you. Thanks for posting.
My pleasure.
See how many washers (patients) you let go to the dump (morgue). Goes to show don’t give up so so quickly on something that may still have a faint pulse. Love your personality and video though.
You should read children books 😂
LoL. Ya think!?
Incredible part! I watched your video, and immediately ordered the part. Installed the part and a set of factory made set of springs. Unbelievable outcome. It reminds me of the old washers that were built to last, the way they should be. Awesome video! Thank you.
Love your outcome. BooYeahhhh.
How can I be sure that part number 10324651 will fit my washer? WTW5000DW2

Hello. I'm about to begin my journey into starting my own appliance repair business. What would you suggest are the best training programs for a technician? Thanks in advance.
TH-cam. Bens appliance videos are the best.
@@richardkoon5544 I've been watching him as well. Thanks
Well, who would've thought to put a new part on it. Imagine that .
good editing, good camera, good angles, straight and to the point. tells me other causes to banging wobble. lil tip I saw was on an other video. push the drum/part that spins, down as hard as you can, then release and see how much it bounces, if it bounces a ton your spring suspension rods are bad, mine had a little more bounce, but nowhere near the videos ive seen, know I know to check for this before I order the rod. still, my roommate talkin bout buying a new washer, like brother, you wanna spend 40-100 bucks or 300-400 atleast for a new one, and we would need to move the dryer out the way to do it. fixing is so much better.
Thank you. In most cases, I agree.
Will that work on a Speed Queen commercial washer?
I don't think so.
I ordered the part for my Maytag MVWX655 and it fixed the problem, thank you for your video!
Done this. New OE Suspension rods too. Still wants to self destruct. This washing machine has been a POS from day 1. It actually never worked right. I even calibrated, leveled. Everything I can think of. It is not even paid for yet. Buyer beware!!!!
Make sure the hub is tight! I was afraid to overtighten one but figured it's trash so why not. I tightened a bit more and that solved it. th-cam.com/video/h2H6Ze4hOCY/w-d-xo.html
Hi rich went to your shop today , no more washers dryers where u go
Sorry, retired. Still do some on the side. Internet killed the parts business.
@richardkoon5544 great to know keep in touch please
What about an amana with an agitator? Replaced my suspension rods and it is still banging around
Samsung appliances...lesson learned, would never buy again. Thank you for this tip though.
Great video!
Can’t find or see the link?
I made this one... th-cam.com/video/h2H6Ze4hOCY/w-d-xo.html
They are Manitowoc clones... Made cheap.
I had the hub and agitator replaced under warranty about 4 or so years ago. The water spins out of the clothes fine, but the washer shakes bad enough to move the washer around. I can replace the suspension rods, but after watching your video, im not 100% sure that will fix it. What are your thoughts?
Probably the rods. I'd check them first.
@richardkoon5544 thank you sir.
@richardkoon5544 I replaced the suspension rods a month ago and for the most part it fixed the issue. It still shook but not enough for the washer to dance across the floor. A month later, now, my new issue is the water nolonger spins out of the clothes. I guess the hub is stripped out. Do you think this kit number you posted will fix this issue or is the washer done?
@@DouglasKipp I hate to see you spend so much on it. I'd bite the bullet and gat a new one.
@richardkoon5544 thank you for your input. I was leaning towards that anyway. I did look at the metal hub kit you listed towards the end of your video, as my luck has it, it does not fit my particular model of maytag. New washer, it is!!
Mine keeps blowing even on timed run
I just fixed a newer style one and splines were all like new and everything looked ok. The thing had its main nut come loose after 2 of the rods came out of their little cups.. the drum ended up denting all 4 sides of the cab and threw water all over the persons floors.. i got it for free and put her back together with new rods and cab but the thing still wants to shake itself away even with no load. The balance ring is still full of water on top and bottom, basket doesnt move around and inner agitator stays solid with the drum. Only thing i can think of is the actual motor has bent or the drive rod one... one of those direct drive deals with the rod built into the tub and motor bolted directly to the tub..
Do I need to get wash plate or the hub is enough ?
Oh my god.. thank you so much. I was at my wits end. Thank you thank you.
Thank you. Hope all is well.
Thanks a lot!
Hi, where do you buy that piece of metal? I would be very grateful if you could share a purchase link.

The problem im having is my machine switches to HOT setting after a few minutes and stops making ice. Help
It could be the thermistor on the condenser line or the board. I would ohm it out. While using your meter, worm the thermistor and see if the reading changes. If so, generally it's good.
I have a Maytag washer with a central agitator and dampening rods at four corners. It has been thrashing quite hard with large loads. Another YT video suggested pushing straight down on the agitator firmly and watching to see if it rebounds without bouncing up and down. Bouncing presumably indicates worn suspension rods without having to take the machine apart. I did this and found a lot of bouncing so I decided to replace the suspension rods soon but had to do a large load of laundry before I could find time to do the repair. To my surprise the washer did not go out of balance in the least. Neither did the next load. Repeating the agitator push revealed no bouncing like before. My theory is that the initial push on the agitator may have unstuck one or more suspension rods so they are all performing nearly equally. In all likelihood I will have to do an actual repair but for now it looks like I pushed it off. (Pun intended 😅)
I love puns. Great info. I will check this out further. Thank you.
Sellisman, same thing with my washer. It had been violently shaking during spins for a month. Pushing down on the agitator three or four times to check for bounce has apparently fixed the problem. Like you, I figured it was a sticky dampening spring. I've done multiple loads with no issues. Nevertheless, I ordered a set of suspension rods and plan to replace them just for peace of mind.
What if it has a normal agitator and not a pulsator?
Most of them are okay. They should only need new rods.
Awesome! Thanks
Did anyone else get nervous when his hair got close to the spinning drum? 😬
LoL, I thought about that after film this. Stupid of me. Don't try this at home. lol.
Hey Richard, where to buy the humb assembly that screws on top of the transmission shaft?

Thank you for this video! I have a I replace my rods on my Amana. Long story short, it was sounding like it was going to take off, and then today the plastic holder snapped in half on one rod so the drum is off kilter. I ordered new rods. Won’t get here for 10 days, but I can’t wait to get the new ones in. Also, that’s a great tip to bend the old rod and use it to help with the new one!
Awesome video
