Lament of a Parts Person

I work behind the counter of a parts and accessories store. Sometimes I'm called the genius; sometimes I'm called lots more. I'm just a...

Yes, it looks that way.



Lately, if we send 10 away, 4 come back not reparable, 4 work ok, 2 have to go back again for warranty...JMO!

jeff.

That one works :)

Only major items I can see that might short if they got wet is #315, 315, 318....gas valve, hot surface ignitors, spark module....make sure all are dried out.

Hi,



I cannot get this to work for me....is this a Canadian model?

Could have leaked onto the oven hot surface ignitor or the gas safety...

Glad things are all better :)

Thankx for the update.

Those belts are bad for just exploding apart.
If you keep the washer, replace the belt for better long term reliability.

jeff.

Sure, part it out if it won't come apart.

jeff.

Might...but does it matter, can't get it apart now, won't make much worse!

jeff.

You have the motor and pump off? Not much room to try with that in place between the pump and base.

jeff.

T20 torx I believe.

jeff.

Both....but more likely tub to the block.

jeff.

Worth a try.....have you tried any heat?

I have not seen a set screw or pin...so it looks to be pressed on.

jeff.

I think the Whirlpool Calypso may be the worst.....followed by the Cabrio......then anything GE.....then the Maytag Top load Neptune ;)

jeff.

Seized tub bearing is possible :(

And...

914 LINK> Pulley and clutch assembly

And...

Doing the spin test and checking too see if the tumblers are moving during the spin is checking the see fi the clutch is bad....during spin the tumblers shouldn't move, if they do the clutch is bad....

Most ( all? ) are today, some older ones like Westinghouse used different # terminals for the heat switch.

Now that I am at work I listened again to the video....still sounds like just the pump sucking in air when there is no more water to pump.....which is normal.
There might be a -slight- louder...

You mean the built in motor switch?, if yes, no it cannot be changed.



That should be good....loose and it may travel forward and hit the housing.



If I have read this correctly, no the...

It would.



Odd!

Hi all,



Attached is the closest that I had.

Appliance tip of the week...

Q: Dryer takes too long to dry or multiple times to dry a load.

Hi,



None and none.
Only thing I can think of is to grind off the plastic nubs to open the clock up and then....?....drill a small hole and add a small screw to each post....plastic glue on...

Keep us posted as to your progress.

jeff.

That appears to be the wrong style kit for yours. Belt and idler appear wrong, wheels should be the same style.
