    Tom, good information; you may want to improve your audio portion.

    clogged filter will not cause hose to burst. Any time the water isn't filling the hoses are at the standard house pressure a clogged filter will not change this pressure.

    • @ilovefunnyamv2nd
      @ilovefunnyamv2nd 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yup, regardless if the filter is clogged, or a valve further down is shut, the hose still experiences the same pressure. Its just a good idea to replace your hoses around as often as you notice your filter clogging, unless you have other issues which causes the filter to clog regularly

      Definitely a big mistake. If you put it back that way, you will have nothing to grab on to the next time you need to clean it. It'll be stuck.

  • @WayneDolan-lv6qv
    @WayneDolan-lv6qv ปีที่แล้ว

    My machine was making a whistling noise. Found out that my water inlet was bad, the cause was a clogged inlet valve caused by hard water. Replaced the valve and will clean the inlet valve each year to avoid the problem happening again. Thanks for the video!

  • @SherryBrubakerPollock
    @SherryBrubakerPollock 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Thank you for making this video. Following your instructions, my husband and I tackled our trickling cold water line. The filter was completely caked in mostly black sediment!! 😵
    I was able to clean it off pretty easily with a nylon brush, so soaking wasn't necessary. And when my husband ran a load with nothing but cold water, the trickle was now a waterfall!! 🥳
    As for sorting darks and lights, I'm more careful when washing my dark and bright colored cottons, particularly my darkest blue jeans. Even though they're 3 years old, they still transferred some dye to my new Christmas pj's. Oops!

    My machine has no pull out filter; instead it is a mesh screen going into the washer. It was dirty with sand and to clean it since I could. Or remove it was a pipe cleaner folded over itself a few times. This allowed me to scrape the mesh without damaging it and cleaning it well. Qtips just get cotton on the mesh and cause more of a problem. Hope this helps with the filters that cannot be removed

    Tom the Plumber- I'll give you another try a while from now but not now- I had to crank my volume ALL THE WAY UP and still could hardly hear you. THEN THE OPENING MUSIC NEARLY BLEW MY SPEAKERS AND MY EAR DRUMS! I can tell it is your camera person who is moving in and out that is changing the volume, but really- please fix this. I'll replace my thumbs down with thumbs up if you do. Please man. UPDATE- I needed the info so I'm listening with one hand on the mute button. At about 2:15, still on max volume, your voice is much easier to hear. Then the revving of the engine blasts me again. I won't update more, but I am watching till the end. Please, run through this video again and see if you can fix the volume. Much appreciated. Oh also, at 5:42 you put the cold filter in backwards- the little handle is now on the inside so you can't grab it 😞

    This unfortunately won't work anymore... Whirlpool in their infinite wisdom has changed the inlet valve filter design such that there's no longer any appreciable tab on the filter screen to grab and extract it from the valve.... This forces you to charge your customer an additional ~$70.00 for a completely new inlet valve assembly...
