HE'S BACK! -- The fellow we also know as BCtruck - rebuild, repair or repurpose Love the special tools he has stashed along with his collection of every fastener known to mankind! I'm glad you've improved to the point, you can make a few jokes while getting a $$$ saving task done. Computers are supposed to be fast. Guess someone didn't tell the washer programmers. While it doesn't have as many bells, whistles and tunes, my Maytag is just as slow as yours. Hope you and Charly have a blessed day. Godspeed on your health journey.
I’m really amazed at how often I’ve had to replace a part on this machine, and at how poorly it washes clothes. It’s supposed to be green and we have to wash clothes twice sometimes.
@@bctruck It was designed by people who've never been on their knees in the dirt while changing the oil in a machine. Suspect they've never wished they had a can of GoJo.
That’s exactly what I’ve got to replace in my washing machine. Apparently they don’t make those parts to last, this will be the second time I have to replace it myself. I’ve got my part, but mine is a high efficiency front loader and stacked on to of my washing machine is my dryer. I have to get help getting the dryer off so I can access the top of my washer to take it off. I don’t have a panel in the back that comes off, wish I did...maybe I can make one, jk. I’ve thought about it though. Have a blessed day and be safe y’all!
Bev has a machine that I have to fix all the time. I’m going to cut an access door to get the the part that constantly needs replacing because to get to it, I have to take the machine apart and it’s one of the most difficult machines to get apart. Lots of cuss words are required for that machine.
I have a drawer full of those special tools 😄 If you use fabric softener liquid in your wash, that may be the cause of the problem. I have seen videos of repair people saying to never use fabric softener in your washing machines. They clog up pumps and valves.
I remember you having a lot of problems with the washer that y’all had in your last house I think. He did a video on it. I tell you I’ve gotten so high tech we went out and bought when we lived in the mobile home to brand new LG direct drive washer and dryer. I paid more for them than I did for my first car. Those were the ones with the transmission would blow up. I sold them both because of so many problems we had in the fact it made the clothes stink I hunted and hunted and found an old brand he might’ve heard of Roper and I bought a basic washer and dryer Roper brand
@@bctruck Yes sir. I find it silly that I have to wash the washing machine periodically it was one of those high efficiency machines and regardless of what stuff I put in it it smells like mold.
Good video! My problem: Hardly any water entering washer tub, just a slow drip. I had turned off the main house water-valve before going on vacation. When turning the water valve back on, water was running into the pipes. So, I have a slow leak and now with air in the pipes. When trying to run the washer, air and water would sputter into the washer, possibly loosen crud from the hoses and clogging the inlet valves. A new valve assembly fixed my problem. I should have disconnected the hoses and run water into a bucket before running the washer.
1st I almost called off the DIY after hearing about the special tool as I wasn't planning to buy another part, 2nd thank you and pretty impressive recording and replacing at the same time. Hopefully with my 2 hands and thoughts I'll be able to😅
Now you can embark on a new career as a Maytag repairman. All you needed was the special tool. Do you remember those old Maytag commercials with the lonely Maytag repairman, because Maytag's never break down?
How did you know what part was not working? Those "Secret" tools are expensive. Yes, that tool is very similar to a garden tool, if I'm not mistaken it's called a "Leaf Rake".
this guy is the Fn MAN Thank you!!! I started thinking I was the biggest pansy there for a minute, I was having the hardest time trying to get this control panel off. My sledge hammer was calling to me.
I’m kind of confused by your comment. Are you saying I’m a pansy? If you are, I made this repair shortly afterward having g spent 17 days in the hospital recovering from some major surgery. I could barely move when I did this. I still had stitches and staples in me. Or, maybe I just don’t understand your comment.
Thank you for the post. Will save me me a lot of time trying to figure out and possibly break those plastic clips in the process, if I didnt find your video. Maybe I'll buy 2 of those $100 special tool ;)
I don't think the Maytag Repair Man would have time to read his newspaper these days.... 😄 I like the special tool. I am kinda getting organized after the move, planning to do a video on my "specialized" fabricobbled tool drawer. A couple really innovative handy jigs and such, and some really, really funny ones. Glad the washer is going.
@@bctruck Yep, same here. I have an overflowing 20mm ammocan of broken and too good to pass up flea market tools, seems like once a month, I dig through, grind, weld, and heat. You probably remember those 855ci Cummins -toward the engine- fuel pump bolts?

Thank you , out of all the videos i watched today you were the easiest to follow, and I’m Impressed with you doing all of it with one hand.
Fixing while barefoot…a true professional!!!
Those are my work boots. Ive had them for 63 years.
@@bctruck
😂 I’ve had mine for nearly 73 years.
Thanks!

@@oldtimerlee8820 You speak the truth Lee.
Big help but hardest part was getting electrical connectors off and he didn't film this step.
The special tool can be replaced with a plastic putty knife.

Keeps the hot side hot and the cold side cold.
Just let me my thermos! That’s why I put chili and ice tea in it at the same time.
I have a drawer full of those special tools 😄

I’ll have to ask my wife if she uses fabric softener. I’m not privy to the goings on in that room.
I have never seen such a special tool I bet it was high dollar glad you got it up and going
And when it’s not busy saving washing machine lives, it can spread butter.
Multi use tools are nice.
So it won’t get stolen, I’m hiding it in my silverware drawer.
Always thinking ahead.
Thank you
You're welcome

I miss the old machines that didn’t try to impress you with bells and whistles.
@@bctruck Yes sir. I find it silly that I have to wash the washing machine periodically it was one of those high efficiency machines and regardless of what stuff I put in it it smells like mold.
How do you turn that tool off after you're done using it?
From my phone. It’s got Bluetooth.
How did you disconnected those wires from the solenoids? They won’t budge!

My wife says the special tool can open paint cans and drive screws too. Good luck!👍
good video
Thanks for the visit
I need to get one of those tools sounds like a good deal but my question is can it spread butter
It will spread butter, jam, jelly, and fix washing machines.
@@bctruck then it’s the perfect tool
good job driver
Thanks.
I had to replace the same part on mine about 2 years after we bought it. I think the hard water made it fail in my case.
We have sand in our water because the town has so many leaks and repairs. I think the sand is what made mi e quit working.
I wish I had known that was the special tool you needed. I have one I would have let you borrow. 😁
They’re hard to get. You could probably sell yours on eBay.
@@bctruck sounds like a plan!!!
Congratulations, you saved a ton of money.
It has a ten year parts warranty, but having an appliance repair guy do what I did, would have cost me a couple hundred.
@@bctruck
To be fair, he probably has a more fancy butter knife.🙄
Mixing valve was ok the seals needed replaced. I saved $75.
Now you can embark on a new career as a Maytag repairman. All you needed was the special tool.

That guys so busy now that his wife left him and took the kids!😎
@@bctruck 🤣
Mission successful. Love the special "tool" 😂🤣.
Until I need that tool again, I’m gonna spread butter with it.
@@bctruck 🤣😂🤣
I fix everything one handed 😂👍
I fix everything barefoot one handed with a butter knife 😄👍👍🤜
🙏🙏🙏
How did you know what part was not working? Those "Secret" tools are expensive. Yes, that tool is very similar to a garden tool, if I'm not mistaken it's called a "Leaf Rake".
It wasn’t letting water through and it was making a funny sound like a solenoid that’s clicking on a car.
@@bctruck Dang solenoids! At least it gave you a reliable clue! I think they put those spring clips in just so you hafta call a repairman.
They make it very difficult to take apart. Bevs machine is even harder to take apart.
Excellent job and Breezy had the perimeter well guarded.
this guy is the Fn MAN Thank you!!! I started thinking I was the biggest pansy there for a minute, I was having the hardest time trying to get this control panel off. My sledge hammer was calling to me.

no your great I thought I was too weak.@@bctruck
Thank you for the post. Will save me me a lot of time trying to figure out and possibly break those plastic clips in the process, if I didnt find your video. Maybe I'll buy 2 of those $100 special tool ;)
Glad it helped! The special tool can also be used to butter toast!
I don't think the Maytag Repair Man would have time to read his newspaper these days.... 😄

I have a lot of torch bent tools to fit certain bolts in hard to reach places. This Maytag special tool will go in that drawer.
@@bctruck Yep, same here. I have an overflowing 20mm ammocan of broken and too good to pass up flea market tools, seems like once a month, I dig through, grind, weld, and heat.

Thank you for the great help . Your the man . Can you send me a eBay link to that tool. Lol 🤣 have a wonderful blessed day.
O.K. Brad, admit it. Your resisting the urge to take a sledgehammer to it.
One man’s sledgehammer, is another mans appliance impact tool.
@@bctruck
Amen brother.
Comment
This is the 2nd time my comment got "lost". Oh well. I know who to call If I need a washing machine repairman. Do you make house calls?
I do!! You’ll have to pay extra for the special tool though.
Heh heh. Love the "special tool".
They’re are very hard to find!
That's funny.
I have 10 of those tools for sale!…LOL 😂👍🏽😀❤️🇺🇸
I wish I knew that before I spent big bucks on this one!
BC's home appliance repair..we have the specialty tools to get the job done.
I get 10% of the profits..lol
They cool thing about this special tool is that when I’m not working on maytags, I can spread butter.
My wife would have a hissy fit if I put my metal tools all over the top of the dryer😬
Over the years, I have worked hard at developing my selective hearing.
DAM that is some fancy ass tool BC, you authorised to be in control of such a weapon lol.
"You funny!"
