After testing it, it seems that the tab on the lid that pushes the safety switch down must have broken off some of the tip and is now too short to push the switch down.

    Here’s a real test for all you diagnostic guys out there. I have a basic Maytag electric dryer less than 5 years old that keeps blowing the fuse at the fusebox. The dryer is getting power and it lights off just fine and gets hot. It runs for approx 10-15 mins then blows the breaker. I have watched approx 12 videos including this one on how to diagnose the various switches, thermistor, thermostat and parts inside the back service panel. I have used the multimeter to test all those parts and I am getting continuity on everything. What could be causing this thing to blow the breaker???

    • @HarperandKnowles
      @HarperandKnowles 4 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I'm not exactly sure what those are. They come in handy when replacing the rods though. They'll hang on the edge of the tub until you can hook the top into place. They are also useful to knock the cup inserts out when replacing models with tub slits. If you slide them all the way down then check after a bit it may indicate movement of the spring. Or they could be vibration dampers. I do know that they only show up on certain Whirlpool made machines.

    I enjoyed your review. When a washer gets way out of balance for a long time, why would it be impossible to fix? Is it because the holes in the drums enlarge? There are shims you can buy for that. They tighten the fit between the shaft and the baskets.

    • @HarperandKnowles
      @HarperandKnowles 6 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I have pondered this problem for a long time. I’m skeptical about re-engineered product fixes because most of the time they fail too soon. I’m going to test out Ben’s shims to see if they hold up over the long run. I have thought of boring out the tub hub and installing a brass sleeve turned to specs to see if that would improve the design but so far it’s just a thought. You’d think Whirlpool would step up their game and fix this issue but engineered obsolescence is the game now. Thanks for this comment. Perhaps this is just the excuse I need to justify buying that lathe I’ve always wanted!

    • @garyderoy
      @garyderoy 6 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @HarperandKnowles I agree about re-engineering, in general. But seeing the foam bumper pads inside the cabinet as an engineering solution shows me they're willing to squeak by. I've ordered Ben's shims and I hope they fix my problem. It's possible that my drive shaft has narrowed from rust. I'm not taking it apart again until the shims arrive. I'm sure we agree that better materials would've been the solution. If this doesn't work, I'm buying a Speed Queen TR7. Money isn't an issue and I'm tired of repairing washers. My Maytag Bravos is 9 years old. It looks brand new, but I've fixed it 4 times already.

    • @HarperandKnowles
      @HarperandKnowles 6 วันที่ผ่านมา

      My choice would be the TC5. Simpler and the agitator is separate from the tub.

    • @garyderoy
      @garyderoy 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I installed Ben's 1mm shim. It was a tight fit but I don't think the .75mm would have done the trick. The .5mm wasn't thick enough. The installation was straightforward and easy enough. All the slop between the basket and shaft is gone. The washer has minor shakinging at a couple times in the spin cycle, but it's mostly quiet and no longer walks across the floor. It doesn't move at all. I call it a success. I may install some new, more expensive suspension rods again and see if it can get any better. The rods in it now are the originals (from 9 years ago) but they're repacked with very tacky grease. The basket doesn't bounce when I push on it, but another $65 at this point is worth the chance for me.

    • @HarperandKnowles
      @HarperandKnowles 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I have a washer that is severely off balance. I got the shims in the mail today. If I have time next week I'll install them then test the snot out of them before I sell the unit or scrap it.

    This video is 2 years old, but I still hope you get this message. Thank you so much! Our washer started humming today. I found a video that said the capacitor likely burnt out. I sent my husband to the hardware store, while he was out, I did another YT search and saw your video. When he got back (they didn't have the part) I told him to check the pump just in case and low and behold it was my son's sock stuck in there!! We couldn't get it out but found the part online. Saved us from getting a new washer!!! God bless you for posting this and helping us all.

      If its an old style direct drive Whirlpool (where you pull the knob out to start it) then check the stabilizer spring at back left side of tub. If a newer model where you have a large knob over six LED lights then its probably the suspension rods or a worn out tub hub.

    I have a Kenmore Elite electric washer l bought used without any model # or serial#. What advice can you give to get replacement parts ? After watching many of your videos im now going to try to rebuild a friends transmission.new subscriber.enjoyed peacok and lounge dogs. Ha ha. Thanks

    • @HarperandKnowles
      @HarperandKnowles 7 วันที่ผ่านมา

      The problem here is that Kenmore is a brand not a manufacturer. Recently LG was the manufacture for many Kenmore products. Without the serial number its hard to tell what manufacturer made your machine. I could probably just look at it and tell you who made it. But without a working knowledge of these machines it could be difficult. One thing you could do is take a part number from something like a water pump and look up what machines use that part number.

    Chip, great repair video. You were not kidding about the Scotchkote being expensive. I took a quick look and that stuff averages about $200 for five pounds. Have you ever tried FlexSeal or a 2-part epoxy to repair a leaking tub?

      @@HarperandKnowles I have not tried either of them. The company I work for says that they can't take on the liability of tub repair. Unfortunately we only replace leaking tubs which rarely makes the repair cost effective.

    Speaking at f the ball and plate below the shaft, does the plate go in convex up or down? I’m thinking the convex part fits over the ball? In other words convex pointing up, so fed down over the ball? Do you change neutral drains and lid switches in every unit you get even when they are working properly? Something to consider here. I usually only change them when the washer drains and spins at the same time. Have a couple I need to change now. When they don’t spin, I usually check lid switch and clutch. Been lucky so far. Not sure how much longer I will fool with appliances. I like the old dependable direct drives but getting fewer of them. Not sure how much I want to fool with the electronic pieces of… crap. That being said, I do wish I knew more about repairing the boards, but at 68, not sure about learning that part.

    • @HarperandKnowles
      @HarperandKnowles 8 วันที่ผ่านมา

      The sequence of reassembly is drop the ball in then drop the plate in with the dimple down then put in the shaft on top of the plate. I do not change neutral drains that are working nor do I change working lid switches. You’re not too old to learn! I'm 67. Thanks for watching!

    Where to get the best suspension rods for Amana ?

    • @HarperandKnowles
      @HarperandKnowles 8 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Look for OEM (original equipment manufacturer ) in the product description. You can usually tell by a photo of the product. The OEM rods have longer upper plastic pieces that cover the more substantial linear dampers. You can find them on Amazon and they will cost quite a bit more than the after market brands. Here is a link for an OEM seller amzn.to/4cp5mhc

Not to mention the ridiculous lid swith broke and left a load of clothes in water. The thing would run but for a broken lid switch. Is there a washer like the "old days" that beats the dirt loose?

    Hi, I have a similar model GE washer that has a similar symptom. I replaced the main board and the run capacitor but didn’t fix it. It fills and will agitate exactly 10 times and shuts off. If you select the drain and spin function, the drain pump works but about 5 seconds after starting to spin, it stops. Do you think a bad motor speed sensor would cause those symptoms? I’m tired of throwing money at parts that don’t fix it. Any wisdom would be appreciated!!
