We have zero extra money, and 3 young children under 5. Your video diagnosed and repaired the issue with our washer! There exists not enough kind words to express my gratitude! The world is a better place with people like you in it!
I'm a single mom and have never fixed a washer by myself but I watched your video and there was my 2 year olds sock in the pump! You saved me BIG TIME!!! I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH!!! You made the video easy enough for me to fix it! Your awesome!!!
I am a 26 year old mom of 3 year old twins and literally zero experience with any type of repair, and I just fixed my washer by myself in under two hours with constant interruptions from my kids. I was envisioning $$$ to repair or replace it so I can’t believe it was completely free!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!
I feel amazing right now and its all your fault. I got to fix my own washer in 20 minutes and it wasn't difficult at all. saved me hours of time and money too! Thank you Thank you thank you
Thank you for showing an example that was harder than normal. Repair videos usually make it seem so easy, and then they never tell you what to do if it is hard. Thanks a lot!
Hi Gary, I've a Kenmore 110 series. Intermittent drive motor. Peripherals are good(cap, lid switch & actuator). Pcb looks fine, but if I had a schematic I could verify; maybe a relay's output. Is there a way to bench test the motor?
Reggie, you have my deepest gratitude. Thank you for this easy to follow video. I was able to fix my washer myself and now feel like I could run the world with the confidence it has given me. My significant other is still staring at me with his mouth wide open which in addition to the money I saved is priceless. Thank you sir!!
This video saved me! My husband was preparing to purchase a new washing machine, which wasn't in our plan, until I found this video. We have 4 young children, with 3 under the age of 4, and a ton of laundry. It was indeed a baby sock jamming the pump! Thank you so much!!!
I am a 62 year old woman who has never done anything to a washing machine except add soap and spin the knob. 3 year old washer wouldn't spin or drain. Did not want to pay hundreds of dollars to get my favorite plumber out here. Viola! As promised, the cabinet was a bear to put back on but- I'm doing laundry right now. Reggie, you are def the man of the year!
I really appreciate you taking the time to put this video together, I have a GE washer and it was making the humming sound and not spinning, although disassembling my GE washer is a bit different, after watching this vid I was able to go the water pump and saw that a wash cloth was stuck in there. You are amazing, you saved me how much it would have cost to have a repair guy come by. Thanks brother!
3 years later and still saving lives!!! 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾 Not only did you help me fix this you helped me score some brownie points with my landlady who didn’t have to come out and pay to have it fixed! Much love brother!!! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Dude. You’re the man. You literally walked me thru every single step. Exactly the same as yours, except my sock was purple! Thank you so much for this.
Reggie I watched your at 11:30 pm. my wife told me at 11pm that machine wood not pump out. I took a quick look. Watched 4 videos, your take on the problem sounded like my issue. Went back down at 11:50pm. So I flipped it back to the wall pulled out the pump found a purple 2 x 2 washer cloth. Since “ prince “ hasn’t visited since the 80’s , it was my wife’s make up remover pad. Some how found its way in the hamper. I was done and back upstairs at 12:15 am. I thank you for you help and quick find and perfect explanation. Any boiler questions I will return the favor. Eric
So many videos show one merely lifting the sock out like it's so easy every time. You encountered difficulty, showed viewers how to approach that problem & still come out on top. Very nicely done sir. Believe I have a washer that needs fix'n.
You are the man. Dealt with a dryer issue last year, took it apart twice and replaced multiple parts just to end up buying a new one. Washing machine had issues today and was about to not deal with it and buy a new one. Got to this video, gave it a try, and sure enough a little Frozen Elsa sock was stuck in there. Massive thanks.
You definitely saved me a few hundred bucks from trying to find a used replacement. This was the exact issue with a little white sock. All repaired and cleaner now too. Thank you!
Saved my skin. Almost to the “t”, same deal, appreciate the video. A little tough getting that housing/face back on just right, but the rest was quick and easy. Thanks again!
Thank you so much. I am 38 weeks pregnant and my washer stopped spinning and draining. I landed on your video first, took apart the washer and fixed it myself. Very simple instructions. It was my toddlers sock! Thanks again!
Reggie you are a life saver. I've never worked on a washing machine before nor am I mechanically savy. You diagnosed the problem for me, and I was able to remove the sock easily. Thank you friend
Great video. Well spoken while demonstrating...and filming. Lots to coordinate and still comes through in good order. Video is about two years old and it sure helped me tonight so thank you very much!
My wife and I are newly married Money has been tight. It was a very tough week, the washer went out. Following your video I diagnosed and fixed our washer. Thank you so much! It may be small to others, but we are very thankful. You are awesome!
Thank you so much! We literally went shopping for some decent used washers (very unsuccessful)because ours was aging and I assumed something might happen with it in the near future and yesterday it had the exact same symptoms you showed in the video. I thought "I knew it. I knew the time was coming". BUT- thanks to This most helpful info, we're able to hold off on the big purchase for now. My 19 yr old daughter and I were able to do this whole job after I got off work before my husband made it home! What a great feeling to give the surprise "WE DON'T actually need to buy a new washer!" We are all elated. Thank you thank you!
Oh man, I always watch some video that makes repairs look really easy and as I get into it, it ends up being less simple. I had the same symptoms but nothing clogging the pump. After that I got intimidated and called a repair guy. He said it was a capacitor or timer. The capacitor would be an extra $110 after his $65 just to come out, which he couldn't guarantee would fix it, or the timer which would be $450 and I might as well get a new one. I think I'm getting a new washer after spilling too much water on the floor and stressing myself out taking my washer apart (I don't mistake myself that any "repairs" I attempt could go horribly wrong). Happy to see this helped many people.
Reggie! You are an awesome human! You saved me from buying a new washing machine. This video was so easy to follow. I was able to take my washer apart, get the sock out of the pump and put it all back together because you took the time to share your knowledge. Thank you thank you thank you!
Thanks so much for the diagnostic. I had to replace my pump and it works great now! And you're right, putting the shell back on was a pain in the butt!
U know what brother I pray that God blesses you because whew u saved me from buying another washer because i could not think of what was wrong but thank you so much I wish I could like this a million times
Thank you so much! My washer wouldn’t drain or spin last night so I googled a bit and as soon as I found your video, I knew it was the problem you described. My dad came over and was able to follow your instructions and fix the blockage- only took us about 20 mins total (draining all the water into his wet vac took the most time!) You saved me a bunch of money. Really appreciate it.
Handy woman house wife mama with husband working away here. Your video was so helpful. Took me less than 10 minutes to take apart and get running again. Toddler sock just as you already knew. Had all my jeans in a wet loaded washer. You saved me! I can not thank you enough for your handy video! THANK YOU!
Got to say the information I found in this video was very useful. I was working on a general electric washer but it basically came down to the same thing. The washer ate a pillow and the fluff clog the drain so it wouldn't drain at all. But I was able to pull the drain out and get the drum spinning again. Thanks a lot
Thank you SOOOO SO much for this video!! I ordered a new washer last night to replace my 29 year old Whirlpool that would hum and wasn't spinning, or draining. I got into it and fished my 2 year old's sock out of the pump!!! Luckily I was able to cancel the order and get my money back!!
Thank you so much! I was shopping for a new one. Figured worst case scenario i break mine worse and still buy a new one. Thanks to you i got it fixed in about a half hour. Saved me 600 bucks!
I love that you did Not edit out your struggle ("fight") to get that dang sock out! Shows us DIYers the real fits we might face, but with persistence and tips (rolling the needlenose), eventually success. Thank you! (& Love comments others expressing gratitude of you saving hard working families needed $$. Kudos Reggie! God Bless.)
Amazing video. Thanks so much for posting. People don't realize how much this helps people who ain't got money to call a pro or replace things. Truly, thank you
you are an amazing guy... and i'm actually grateful your video included a clogged sock that you had trouble removing. So much more realistic for someone at home to see how to manage a problem clog. i hate seeing something that is so easily solved on video then we try it at home and feel there is an expensive pump problem when the clog is stubborn. you're a good man and when i need a part i will definitely support you with an order.
You are such an excellent teacher! Your video diagnosed the problem and walked me through step by step. I used your other video to learn how to put the panel back on. You have saved me so much money. Thank you, thank you! So many of us have benefited from your knowledge. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this! I had watched several videos all of which were telling me to check the switch in the top which I new wasn’t the problem. I could hear a humming every few minutes like it was trying to work and when you mentioned that I new you were onto what I needed and sure enough as you stated there was my 3 year olds sock stuck in the pump. I yanked that sucker out (with great effort) and got everything hooked back up and now we are running clear again! Thanks so much man.
Mannnn, you are definitely the MAN!!!! I appreciate this video you made, because it was exactly what I needed to do to get my washer working again!!! My 2 year old baby boy sock got in there, it was really difficult to get out, but I am now 1 for 1!!!! Lol... Thanks again!!!!!
Oh my goodness! You are a life saver! I’m the hero of the house, all thanks to this very detailed and easy to follow video. God bless you, Amen. I’m a subscriber!.
Thank you! The part that helped me the most was where you mentioned that if the coupler wouldn't turn, there was probably something stuck in the pump. Kept me from having to take the motor off to see if the coupler was bad.
oh my gosh....THANK YOU!!! I like ur approach to explaining it and perfectly detailed. Not too slow and not too fast...ur the best. I am now a subscriber.
Liked and subscribed. Was almost about to give up on my washer because I didn’t want to take everything apart like other videos were showing. Found your video and fixed our washer within 30 minutes! God Bless You 🙏🏼
Totally going to check it out. I was stuck after the lid switch had already been bypassed. Roommate bought it for $50 and hopefully theres a sock in the pump they can sell it for 150! Thanks
Reggie, a billion times thank you!!! You are a life saver. Such a simple dilemma that's causing a major headache. We almost spent $100+ on a new motor or $50 on a new capacitor or $2500 on a new W/D set. You're a godsend. Cheers to you!!
Awesome! Responses like yours motivate me to make more videos. Love sharing information pay it forward. Thank you so much God bless you and your family
God Bless You and yours brother! Merry Christmas 🎄!!! Now I have enough funds to spoil my kids and wife (although my wife had her eyes on a new WD set... LOL)
Thanks so much Reggie. This is a great video tutorial. I had viewed a couple others which were also great. But your video surpass them because your washer example happened to be the particular one I had that did not have the screws on the back. So I had to use the putty knife. I cannot thank you enough for such a great video. Much thanks again.
I can't thank you enough for this video! I'm one of those when something goes wrong I get a man to fix it for me. I decided to try fixing my washing machine myself tonight. I watched every video possible, took my machine apart and tried everything the video's said to do and then I got to yours and it just felt like it had to be the reason mine didn't work. Sure enough it was! It took me many many hours but I'm so dang proud of myself for not giving up.
Oh yea and my guy friends were telling me it was the belt. I tried doing what every video I watched said then by the grace of God I found yours and again I can't thank you enough! I was about to give up and just buy a new one. I had never done anything remotely like this before.
Wow, what a blessing you are. Thank you so much for offering your knowledge. I’ve disassembled and reassembled my washer several times over the course over two days and once I think it’s repaired, it reverts back to the same issue. Just when I was about to give up, I found your video! I thought, my unit is different but what could it hurt to watch?! Well what do you know, the pump was clogged! After removing the clog and recalibration, everything was back up and running like new. You saved me a repair fee and/or the cost of a new washer. Thank you so much. Keep it up!!
Hey man thank you soo much for sharing this. We have a 15+year washing machine and was acting up. I didn't really want a new since the opening to our old one is 25" and new washing machines are 27"+. This helped us alot. Seriously thank you so much.
Thank you for this information. Saved me from a new washer. Repairman said it was the timer and wanted to charge me over $400. I replaced the timer myself and the problem still existed so I found your video and sure enough, something was lodged in the pump.
@@LeanOnYourRep My repair man from Sears who services Maytag told me I needed a $600 pump. He never checked the lid switch or the pump drain. Did not move the stackable out to check the drain. He had no card and asked him for the part number, said he sending email receipt and did but it did no have the model number on it. Guess he forgot? Complained and they are sending a different person tomorrow, but who knows maybe they cover for one another, or ?? Cannot believe it is the motor since it runs to agitate the load.
I was able to fix my washer solo following your directions. Took me about an hour with stopping and starting your video. I also watched your other video about how to put the outer part back together. Worked like a charm.Thank you much! You’re the best!
I have to add my thank you to the long list of people you’ve helped fix their washer themselves! Thank you for leading me right to the toddler sock stuck in the pump :)
Thanks Reggie! That’s what I found...a booty sock of my wife’s obstructing the pump. I’m back washing clothes THANKS TO YOU, MY MAN!!! Thanks REGGIE again and God bless you and your friends and family on these Holiday seasons!!
My pump on my Hot Point is located at the bottom and I took it off to inspect it from the bottom without disassembling the washer cover. I tilted the washed and had it propped where it couldn’t move and worked from the bottom and it worked as you stated!!!
Soooo helpful!! As soon as you explained how the obstruction happens I had an aha! moment. Last thing I washed was my cat’s little bed but I noticed some of the stuffing came out into the washer and I had a hard time pulling it out. Specifically the pieces hanging out from the top of the drum that had gotten into in the same area where you explained socks typically get stuck. Apparently I didn’t get it all and have to take my washer apart now lol but at least I know the problem!! Thank you 🙏
This video still works!! Just pulled mine a part and found my kids grey sock stuck in the pump. You’re doing the lords work and please keep it up. My sincerest thanks you.
THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH Reggie. I thought it was a belt, the agitator or lid switch. I checked all those other things and then I saw your video. The minute I heard the humming, I knew that was the problem. Padding and wire from a bra were jammed in my pump. You are a money saver to a single mom. Thank you, brethren.
Thank you brother, it took me like 4 hours to get it done but I was able to fix my washer, I was going to purchase a new one tomorrow but thanks to your video I was able to get fix it.
I truly appreciate these kinds of videos. It's far cheaper to repair these things than buying new one. My top load Roper is still going strong after 10 years in service. Dog hair and coins love to get jammed in there too. Usually the penny is the main culprit trapping the hair.
You are awesome! Video was right on and exactly what happened...one of my grandkids baby socks! You saved me the cost of a new washer. What a great public service you provide...I would love to buy you a case of your favorite beverage!
Awesome. You nailed it. Exactly the problem with my washer. I was looking at replacing the timer, the motor, Etc. Then checked for the motor...did not spin. Pulled the pump and it did spin! Sure enough a small piece of cloth stuck in the pump. Pulled it out, put it back, and it started up and drained just fine. The fact that it was humming like you said is what gave it away, motor was trying to turn. Will be a hero when the wife gets home! Saved me hundreds, thanks! :-)
Thank you so much!! This helped us today!!! It was my sock! And fyi, I used chip clips to clap the things that connect to the pump and worked really well!!
Lovely lady, trust me, as one of the first wave of women in USAF aircraft maintenance, you can do anything that a guy can! It just a matter of being shown how! It’s totally BS that we can’t do the same things as a man. It’s just a way to keep us down. This video is awesome. I recommend it to everyone male and female. So now you have some confidence go conquer the maintenance world women! By the way, the Military found some thing that did the work of five men, One woman.😁
@@LeanOnYourRep I live that this video gave you the confidence and know how to try! Knowledge is power! Good videos like this that explain and show clearly what to do are an awesome inspiration!
Thank you for generously sharing your knowledge with calm and expertise. When you were patiently removing the sock, you had me laughing out loud, where in real life I'd be crying out loud. I will cherish this lesson for the next time I reach that point, and I will! Butterknife is my most prized tool in the pink tool box!
Mari Larsen: I'd call my repairman Jack to retrieve anything stuck I'm the pump. He has his own replace repair business and can fix just about anything.
Once AGAIN you have saved time, money, aggravation, and headaches of a major dilemma by reducing it to a common occurrence repairable in no time flat ! Just got a used washer home and in place (bought yesterday as a "good working washer", full load washed, but no drain or spin. Thought I would do some research before calling the seller and calling him out. This problem could have occurred anywhere from his removal, a 45 mile transport, and my own final install in my house. I did the repair in less than 5 minutes, and had no need to embarrass myself with a phone call based on an incorrect assumption.....Thank You ! !
awesome instructions, my prob sounded the same for my maytag but upon looking my belt slipped off. its located on the very bottom,but your vid inspired me to try one more time before giving up!!! i subbed also.
But I do have one small question…after I took those clips off underneath the control panel and started removing the washer cabinet two small “c” clips came lose and don’t know where they came from. It runs fine ( I ran a full cycle) so maybe they’re just for vibration control.
Thanks to you I repaired the switch with a ziptie that I always have plenty. Leaving town on Sunday, daughter having hissy fit, machine broke. I REPAIRED IT. THANK YOU🎊🎉💥
Thank you Reggie for your demonstration! Well done, even when the going got tough! Today is Memorial Day, and with all the holidays, my luck has it that at least one home appliance has to break down on a holiday (my walk behind mower drive also quit being self-propelled today) my washer would not go into the spin cycle, so after checking the lid switch, capacitor and belt for functionality, now I'll check out the pump for an obstruction. (after pumping out the water out of the drum, I found out how my wife is laundering money and also found one of her little socks under the agitator) If I need parts I will buy from your website! this is the kind of advertising that gets my attention! Bravo!
Connie George your motor might be throwing an error code. I have a GE washer. Could hear the motor running but not spinning. Watched a tutorial that shows how to reset the motor and completely fixed my problem
Can you answer a question that is different? My washer will click to go into spin mode but won't continue unless I help get the spin going. What is cause?
Sounds like a bad capacitor or if you have other things plugged in the same Outlet could be caused by low amperage, try plugging into a different Outlet
Thanks man, This vid really helped. I did it alone, got water everywhere ..😅 but the WASHER is WORKING AGAIN! Very informative and straight to the point💯 Thanks again💪🏽
Sir you saved me a lot of money. Out of all the videos I looked at, yours is the only one to say check the pump. The other videos said check the motor coupler or clutch. I had a sock stuck in the pump. Thanks a million brother.
We have zero extra money, and 3 young children under 5. Your video diagnosed and repaired the issue with our washer! There exists not enough kind words to express my gratitude! The world is a better place with people like you in it!
#legend
Um
Nice! Love people helping people! 👍😃❤
You took the words right out of my mouth I'm so 🙏 grateful for the help thank you thank you thank you
Same here
Hey , your video is four years old and still helping people out.
Really appreciate it , turns out it was the lid switch what a relief!
X2.
I'm gonna check my washing machine in a few minutes after breakfast.
I'm a single mom and have never fixed a washer by myself but I watched your video and there was my 2 year olds sock in the pump! You saved me BIG TIME!!! I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH!!! You made the video easy enough for me to fix it! Your awesome!!!
Great to hear! Knowledge is empowering! Thx for watching

Not all heroes wear capes. Thank you for taking the time to put up this video. It saved me a repair bill.

As the manager/maintenance man at a small apartment complex this channel has been a blessing. 😇😎

Great to hear!
I have a Maytag that will not spin
You sir are a god send. I couldn’t afford a new washer so I had to figure it out and watching your video helped me fix it!!!
Dude. You’re the man. You literally walked me thru every single step. Exactly the same as yours, except my sock was purple! Thank you so much for this.
So was mine
1 year later but purple sock here too!

Same here. This literally happened to me while washing before my new baby gets here on Tuesday. Doggone baby sock
Almost 37 weeks pregnant, and having the same problem! Washer stopped spinning and draining and baby will be here soon! Hopefully I can fix it myself.
Alyssa Zmudzinski 26 week pregnant here and about to do this myself
Try using a small mesh laundry bag for small items.
Reggie you are a life saver. I've never worked on a washing machine before nor am I mechanically savy. You diagnosed the problem for me, and I was able to remove the sock easily. Thank you friend

The bit with struggling to get the sock out makes this such a real deal video. It's never as easy as the edited video makes it look!

Dude you have “stick tuitiveness”!! You get stuff done. You are an inspiration
The myth of the missing socks has been solved.
😱
I thought it was a demon in the washing machine that eats your sock and leaves you with a single sock
Lol for real. Didn't think of it till I saw your comment
Handy woman house wife mama with husband working away here. Your video was so helpful. Took me less than 10 minutes to take apart and get running again. Toddler sock just as you already knew.

Saved me 600 bucks!
I love that you did Not edit out your struggle ("fight") to get that dang sock out! Shows us DIYers the real fits we might face, but with persistence and tips (rolling the needlenose), eventually success. Thank you! (& Love comments others expressing gratitude of you saving hard working families needed $$. Kudos Reggie! God Bless.)
Amazing video. Thanks so much for posting. People don't realize how much this helps people who ain't got money to call a pro or replace things. Truly, thank you
Your very welcome. Thank you for watching.
Thank you so much fixed my washer in 30 mins.
Thank you for making this video! This was Exactly what was wrong with my washer, pulled out the small baby sock and worked like a charm after.
you are an amazing guy... and i'm actually grateful your video included a clogged sock that you had trouble removing. So much more realistic for someone at home to see how to manage a problem clog. i hate seeing something that is so easily solved on video then we try it at home and feel there is an expensive pump problem when the clog is stubborn. you're a good man and when i need a part i will definitely support you with an order.
You are such an excellent teacher! Your video diagnosed the problem and walked me through step by step. I used your other video to learn how to put the panel back on. You have saved me so much money. Thank you, thank you! So many of us have benefited from your knowledge. Thank you so much!
Thanks Lisa, glad to hear my videos helped
Thanks for the vid. This was exactly what I needed. I’m pretty handy but this is the first time taking a washer apart.
my dad is 85 and not able to look after himself properly. his washer just stopped and this vid is a lot of help. thank you for doing this.
Thank you so much for this! I had watched several videos all of which were telling me to check the switch in the top which I new wasn’t the problem. I could hear a humming every few minutes like it was trying to work and when you mentioned that I new you were onto what I needed and sure enough as you stated there was my 3 year olds sock stuck in the pump. I yanked that sucker out (with great effort) and got everything hooked back up and now we are running clear again! Thanks so much man.
Mannnn, you are definitely the MAN!!!! I appreciate this video you made, because it was exactly what I needed to do to get my washer working again!!! My 2 year old baby boy sock got in there, it was really difficult to get out, but I am now 1 for 1!!!! Lol... Thanks again!!!!!
What up this tim
Omg this video just help me fix my washer thank you for this video 😍
Oh my goodness! You are a life saver! I’m the hero of the house, all thanks to this very detailed and easy to follow video. God bless you, Amen. I’m a subscriber!.
Thank you! The part that helped me the most was where you mentioned that if the coupler wouldn't turn, there was probably something stuck in the pump. Kept me from having to take the motor off to see if the coupler was bad.
Thank you so much, I just fixed my pump toddler sock stuck and stuck good. Took some doing but, I got it and we are back in clean clothes.
oh my gosh....THANK YOU!!! I like ur approach to explaining it and perfectly detailed. Not too slow and not too fast...ur the best. I am now a subscriber.
Awesome Mary, thank you so much for your feed back.
Thank you for sharing!!! Listening to your video as you explain the repair simply puts me at rest. Your a excellent repair/service man.... Bob
Liked and subscribed. Was almost about to give up on my washer because I didn’t want to take everything apart like other videos were showing. Found your video and fixed our washer within 30 minutes! God Bless You 🙏🏼
Totally going to check it out. I was stuck after the lid switch had already been bypassed. Roommate bought it for $50 and hopefully theres a sock in the pump they can sell it for 150! Thanks
Reggie, a billion times thank you!!! You are a life saver. Such a simple dilemma that's causing a major headache. We almost spent $100+ on a new motor or $50 on a new capacitor or $2500 on a new W/D set. You're a godsend. Cheers to you!!
Awesome! Responses like yours motivate me to make more videos. Love sharing information pay it forward. Thank you so much God bless you and your family
God Bless You and yours brother! Merry Christmas 🎄!!! Now I have enough funds to spoil my kids and wife (although my wife had her eyes on a new WD set... LOL)
Thank you so much! This was exactly what was wrong with our washing machine. It's working perfectly now.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ADDRESSING THE HUMMING SOUND!!!! I’ve watched aces videos and few have addressed the humming sound in relation to the motor.
Thanks so much Reggie. This is a great video tutorial. I had viewed a couple others which were also great. But your video surpass them because your washer example happened to be the particular one I had that did not have the screws on the back. So I had to use the putty knife. I cannot thank you enough for such a great video. Much thanks again.
Thanks so much you saved me...... I couldn’t believe until I seen it for myself. Pulled the pump off and there was my sons sock🤦🏾
I can't thank you enough for this video! I'm one of those when something goes wrong I get a man to fix it for me. I decided to try fixing my washing machine myself tonight. I watched every video possible, took my machine apart and tried everything the video's said to do and then I got to yours and it just felt like it had to be the reason mine didn't work. Sure enough it was! It took me many many hours but I'm so dang proud of myself for not giving up.
Oh yea and my guy friends were telling me it was the belt. I tried doing what every video I watched said then by the grace of God I found yours and again I can't thank you enough! I was about to give up and just buy a new one. I had never done anything remotely like this before.
Wow, what a blessing you are. Thank you so much for offering your knowledge. I’ve disassembled and reassembled my washer several times over the course over two days and once I think it’s repaired, it reverts back to the same issue. Just when I was about to give up, I found your video! I thought, my unit is different but what could it hurt to watch?! Well what do you know, the pump was clogged! After removing the clog and recalibration, everything was back up and running like new. You saved me a repair fee and/or the cost of a new washer. Thank you so much. Keep it up!!
Hey man thank you soo much for sharing this. We have a 15+year washing machine and was acting up. I didn't really want a new since the opening to our old one is 25" and new washing machines are 27"+. This helped us alot. Seriously thank you so much.
Thank you for this information. Saved me from a new washer. Repairman said it was the timer and wanted to charge me over $400. I replaced the timer myself and the problem still existed so I found your video and sure enough, something was lodged in the pump.
Awesome and sad to hear that the repairman misdiagnosed it
@@LeanOnYourRep My repair man from Sears who services Maytag told me I needed a $600 pump. He never checked the lid switch or the pump drain. Did not move the stackable out to check the drain. He had no card and asked him for the part number, said he sending email receipt and did but it did no have the model number on it. Guess he forgot?
Complained and they are sending a different person tomorrow, but who knows maybe they cover for one another, or ?? Cannot believe it is the motor since it runs to agitate the load.
I was able to fix my washer solo following your directions. Took me about an hour with stopping and starting your video. I also watched your other video about how to put the outer part back together. Worked like a charm.Thank you much! You’re the best!
Awesome to hear thank you for watching
Thank you!!! I just fixed my washer watching this video. I could hug you!
I have to add my thank you to the long list of people you’ve helped fix their washer themselves! Thank you for leading me right to the toddler sock stuck in the pump :)
Your very welcome. Thank you for watching
I can’t wait to disassemble mine and hopefully fix it! I
Thanks Reggie! That’s what I found...a booty sock of my wife’s obstructing the pump. I’m back washing clothes THANKS TO YOU, MY MAN!!! Thanks REGGIE again and God bless you and your friends and family on these Holiday seasons!!
Thank you, God bless you and your family Charlie
My pump on my Hot Point is located at the bottom and I took it off to inspect it from the bottom without disassembling the washer cover. I tilted the washed and had it propped where it couldn’t move and worked from the bottom and it worked as you stated!!!
Thanks for the video. I just fixed my washing machine thanks to you. I didn’t have the same machine, but I had the same problem. Thanks again!
You the man Reggie! Much appreciated l, got us back up and running.
Soooo helpful!! As soon as you explained how the obstruction happens I had an aha! moment. Last thing I washed was my cat’s little bed but I noticed some of the stuffing came out into the washer and I had a hard time pulling it out. Specifically the pieces hanging out from the top of the drum that had gotten into in the same area where you explained socks typically get stuck. Apparently I didn’t get it all and have to take my washer apart now lol but at least I know the problem!! Thank you 🙏
This video still works!! Just pulled mine a part and found my kids grey sock stuck in the pump. You’re doing the lords work and please keep it up. My sincerest thanks you.
THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH Reggie. I thought it was a belt, the agitator or lid switch. I checked all those other things and then I saw your video. The minute I heard the humming, I knew that was the problem. Padding and wire from a bra were jammed in my pump. You are a money saver to a single mom. Thank you, brethren.
Thank you brother, it took me like 4 hours to get it done but I was able to fix my washer, I was going to purchase a new one tomorrow but thanks to your video I was able to get fix it.
Awesome!
I truly appreciate these kinds of videos. It's far cheaper to repair these things than buying new one. My top load Roper is still going strong after 10 years in service. Dog hair and coins love to get jammed in there too. Usually the penny is the main culprit trapping the hair.
Thanks this was exactly my problem. Got it done in 30 minutes. You're the man!
You are awesome! Video was right on and exactly what happened...one of my grandkids baby socks! You saved me the cost of a new washer. What a great public service you provide...I would love to buy you a case of your favorite beverage!
Thank you !!!!! Saved me some bucks and now I feel like I can be more mechanical !!
Awesome. You nailed it. Exactly the problem with my washer. I was looking at replacing the timer, the motor, Etc. Then checked for the motor...did not spin. Pulled the pump and it did spin! Sure enough a small piece of cloth stuck in the pump. Pulled it out, put it back, and it started up and drained just fine. The fact that it was humming like you said is what gave it away, motor was trying to turn. Will be a hero when the wife gets home! Saved me hundreds, thanks! :-)
Awesome!!!!
Thank you for taking the time to put this excellent tutorial together. I think you might have just saved me a boat load of cash.
Thank you so much!! This helped us today!!! It was my sock! And fyi, I used chip clips to clap the things that connect to the pump and worked really well!!
Thank you!! My husband is out of town and I totally fixed the washer!
💪🏾
Lovely lady, trust me, as one of the first wave of women in USAF aircraft maintenance, you can do anything that a guy can! It just a matter of being shown how! It’s totally BS that we can’t do the same things as a man. It’s just a way to keep us down.
This video is awesome. I recommend it to everyone male and female.
So now you have some confidence go conquer the maintenance world women!
By the way, the Military found
some thing that did the work of five men, One woman.😁
@@LeanOnYourRep I live that this video gave you the confidence and know how to try! Knowledge is power! Good videos like this that explain and show clearly what to do are an awesome inspiration!
Great job lady 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I just pulled a sock out of mine ☺️ and it’s working fine 👍🏽
Thank you for generously sharing your knowledge with calm and expertise. When you were patiently removing the sock, you had me laughing out loud, where in real life I'd be crying out loud. I will cherish this lesson for the next time I reach that point, and I will! Butterknife is my most prized tool in the pink tool box!
Mari Larsen: I'd call my repairman Jack to retrieve anything stuck I'm the pump. He has his own replace repair business and can fix just about anything.
Bro! You literally saved the day! Saved me thousands I’m sure if I had to buy a new one, hundreds if someone came to repair it.
Once AGAIN you have saved time, money, aggravation, and headaches of
a major dilemma by reducing it to a common occurrence repairable in no time flat ! Just got a used washer home and in place (bought yesterday as a "good working washer", full load washed, but no drain or spin. Thought I would do some research before calling the seller and calling him out. This problem could have occurred anywhere from his removal, a 45 mile transport, and my own final install in my house. I did the repair in less than 5 minutes, and had no need to embarrass myself with a phone call based on an incorrect assumption.....Thank You ! !
awesome instructions, my prob sounded the same for my maytag but upon looking my belt slipped off. its located on the very bottom,but your vid inspired me to try one more time before giving up!!! i subbed also.
Glad you got it fixed!
Thank you 😊 Thank you!! Just fixed the problem in a jiffy with your amazing instructions!
Iiii
4 years later still helping out. This video helped me so much, thank you. And you got it my little girls sock was stuck lol.
Thanks so much for this great video. My fiancé wanted to buy a new washer and I fixed it in under an hour. Working great again !
Great video, you explained this very well and this was my exact problem.
You are an appliance God!! It was exactly what you said. It was a no-show sock that was stuck in the pump! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
But I do have one small question…after I took those clips off underneath the control panel and started removing the washer cabinet two small “c” clips came lose and don’t know where they came from. It runs fine ( I ran a full cycle) so maybe they’re just for vibration control.
Thanks to you I repaired the switch with a ziptie that I always have plenty. Leaving town on Sunday, daughter having hissy fit, machine broke. I REPAIRED IT. THANK YOU🎊🎉💥
Spot on. Fixed my problem. Like your video it was my grandson’s sock. Twist and pull. Thank you. 45 minute job.
Thank you Reggie for your demonstration! Well done, even when the going got tough! Today is Memorial Day, and with all the holidays, my luck has it that at least one home appliance has to break down on a holiday (my walk behind mower drive also quit being self-propelled today) my washer would not go into the spin cycle, so after checking the lid switch, capacitor and belt for functionality, now I'll check out the pump for an obstruction. (after pumping out the water out of the drum, I found out how my wife is laundering money and also found one of her little socks under the agitator) If I need parts I will buy from your website! this is the kind of advertising that gets my attention! Bravo!
Me too 😳😭
Me too 😳😭
Randall Crawford: I've done money laundering too literally.
Dude, awesome video man!!! That was my exact problem, a damn baby sock!! Appreciate the help, my wife was about to go out and buy a new washer
How do you tell if belt is broken motor is running but not spinning
Connie George your motor might be throwing an error code. I have a GE washer. Could hear the motor running but not spinning. Watched a tutorial that shows how to reset the motor and completely fixed my problem
@@conniegeorge3638 one thing is you have a belt washer it's not easy you have to take you washer apart
Can you answer a question that is different? My washer will click to go into spin mode but won't continue unless I help get the spin going. What is cause?
Sounds like a bad capacitor or if you have other things plugged in the same Outlet could be caused by low amperage, try plugging into a different Outlet
Thanks man, This vid really helped. I did it alone, got water everywhere ..😅 but the WASHER is WORKING AGAIN! Very informative and straight to the point💯
Thanks again💪🏽
Sir you saved me a lot of money. Out of all the videos I looked at, yours is the only one to say check the pump. The other videos said check the motor coupler or clutch. I had a sock stuck in the pump. Thanks a million brother.
Awesome, thanks for watching and Im glad my video was helpful.
