@@jimsavage7081 yeah if it strips out again. She’s a goner. Thanks for watching Jim

@@davef.2329 hey that works too. 😂 thanks for watching Dave.

@@williamjones6451 yep it might come to that on this one. Thank you for watching William.

@@AllenRider-wp2uz if that thing strips again it’s definitely new washer time Allen. Thanks for watching 🙏

@@evev5325 the metal one is stronger and it has a spanner nut that tightens around the shaft. But it has its limitations. If the splines on the shaft are ate up and the tub has a lot of play. It will strip the metal one quickly too. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@LAapplianceguy How much more expensive is it?

@ there are actually some aftermarket out now that are cheap but I haven’t tried them yet. The oem is about $50-60

@@LAapplianceguy Seems like it would be worth it, but I guess they were shopping for a new washer already.

@ I believe so. Yeah I’m going to get some of the aftermarket metal ones and see how they hold up. Because if they are decent there would be no reason to put a plastic one back on. Just go for metal in the first place.

@@stevencossaboon3237 yeah that was a quicky. Not bad if the agitator or washplate comes out nice and easy. Thanks 🙏

@@RetireonDividends yeah sorry that was a quick one. I was trying to get some before the off days this week.

@@LAapplianceguy It's all good. Holiday weeks just mean you cram five days of work into four days (or three!). We're still dealing with the "self-immolating ovens" and my brother is dealing with the "but why can't I put shrimp shells down the garbage disposer?" fun and games. Watching and learning from you has been helpful.

@ haha shrimp shells down the disposal. That’s awesome. Yeah I been trying to keep up the one video a day schedule. It’s tough sometimes with weeks like these past two holidays. Thank you 🙏

@@steelhorses2004 yeah people see these huge drums and they stuff them slam full. And wonder why they don’t last. The old ones had smaller drums but could be packed full and survive for years and years. Thanks for watching steel

@@iscokinawa sometimes that is the best way. Thanks for watching.

@@rafikmorocco a little preventative repair here. Sometimes old school is the best way. Thanks for watching

@@Gtmustangmt it happens often. Something causes the thermal fuse to blow. Usually it’s lint clogging the vent. But sometimes it’s a shorted element or thermostat sticking. Hope the video helped a little. 👍

@@agostinodibella9939 thank you I really appreciate that. Now that the less expensive aftermarket is available most people will likely just put that on. But when the oem $200 one was the only unit available we had to get creative. And I’m with you I think the timer is more reliable in the long run. Thanks for watching

@@TCforfreedom yes sir. no one got burned and we got all our fingers and toes. Good time

@@TCforfreedom old school for the win. Thanks for watching tc.

@@jimbow2928 I wouldn’t try to bypass the lock. I’ve seen too many fried boards that way.

@@jimbow2928 if I fix them. I put locks on them.

@@LAapplianceguy this washer is only two months old. Do you have any recommendations on a good washer thanks.

@ I would call warranty first. But the best right now is like is the TC5 speed queen

@@ethelryan257 you are right. They can’t last too long. That’s not good for business. Thanks for watching happy new year! 2025 WOOOOOO!

@@clydesmith9524 haha I don’t know about master! But thank you for the kind words. My buddy Chris that’s been doing this much longer than me told me about this trick back when all we could get were the $200 oem controls. It was either find a way or scrap the fridge. No one will put that kind of money on these units. Thank you 🙏

@@athomas957 thank you. Happy new year to you too! 2025 is gonna be a good year. Let do it! 👍

@@jenniferm5375 yeah it’s it’s crazy! It’s going up everyday. So that’s a good thing 😂 thank you for always watching and commenting. I really appreciate it.

@@jenniferm5375 thank you for pushing me to keep going.

@@jenniferm5375 happy new year! It’s gonna be great. 2025

@@jimsavage7081 old school for the win.

@@williamjones6451 gotta love it. Old school fixes for the win

@@davef.2329 old school for the win. nothing to it. Red out white in. Nothing else needs to be done. Happy new year thanks for the positive feedback.

@@AllenRider-wp2uz gotta love it. Sometimes the best thing to do is to take the most common failure and put in the old schools timer that just works. 👍 thanks for watching.

@@scotts4125 yes the test bypasses auto defrost and manually defrosts it. But the unit came in with the controls jacked up. And usually that means 95% of the time it had a problem. So I’m kinda just taking a little preventative measure changing the defrost control out. Because they are the most common failure. If the unit is running and cycling fine. I was betting on a defrost problem.

@@NakeshInc thank you Shane. Time to kick off this new year!

@@stevencossaboon3237 yep yep. Old school is sometimes the best way thanks for watching

@@youshouldknowthis3424 happy new year. Yes out with the new in with the old. Old schools timer for the win. Thanks for watching

@@RetireonDividends busy busy time! This was a pretty simple New school board out, old school defrost timer in. They just work. Thanks for watching RoD

@@steelhorses2004 the old schools timer timer just works. This one goes into every 8.5 hours. Old schools timer for the win.

@@steelhorses2004 thanks for chatting with me and watching steel.

I have two theories, for what they're worth. First, using solid state logic, you can lower your quality controls, produce working stuff which is not even remotely close to tolerances and let the 'computer' keep it running well. Second, due to their nature, it seems almost impossible to build some appliances to last out their warranty (minimum two years in Europe and it's all a global market) and not have them last for many, many years. So, you put in electronic controls which have weak points (there are repair kits on the Internet for the most common capacitor/diode/resistor failures of the Whirlpool family washers) like this control board. Then, you price the replacements sky-high. The number of cycles they'll survive until they fail puts them past the warranty period, especially in the US where it's super short, and then, poof! is it really worth the service call and the labor and the part to fix it? LAapplianceguy is offering a way to fight back!

@ it seems to go in cycles. The parts will be high. Then they will come down. I have a theory that they price those parts high to sell inventory and then. Lower the cost when they need to move parts. I don’t know just a thought. Thanks for the positive feedback as always.

@@LAapplianceguy I don't know appliances like you do, but in my main branch and my brother's trade, it's that way for sure.

@@clydesmith9524 thank you Clyde. Happy 2025! It is going to be a good year. Let’s fix stuff, make money and live life. 🥳🎉

@@mickiewilbanks6102 I’m glad it helped. Thanks for the feedback. Sadly it’s like they know how to get that perfect warranty life span out of it. Thanks for watching

@@cassandrataylor9276 hmmm that’s an odd problem with these units. Sounds almost like the relay style start switches

@@williamjones6451 yes sir thanks for watching and commenting as always. Hope you have a happy and safe new year

@@wolverinepyro2233 oh yeah direct drives are always bought. Even if just for parts. Thanks for watching and happy new year 🎊

@@stevencossaboon3237 thank you! HAPPY NEW YEAR it’s gonna be a good one…. Maybe 😂

@@agostinodibella9939 yes! I like it. Let’s do it 🎊👍 here’s to 2025

@@mike97525 you are right. I really should have. I have and 10 or 12 good 134a comps at the moment. So I just let them go.

@@mike97525 thanks for watching. Have a happy new year

@@youshouldknowthis3424 happy new year. It’s gonna be great. Maybe 😂

@@steelhorses2004 very nice! I might need to do the same. I like selling options but I also like the passive weekly income from doing nothing. Just buy and hold. I like it steel. I like a mix of both. 🥳 happy new year

Wow thank you so much! Very kind I really appreciate it. Happy new year!🎊

@@sodiebergh thank you so much! I love positive feedback. It takes me about an hour. Slightly longer if I save more parts. Rock on man I will continue not drinking booze in 2025 with you. A sober life is much better for me. And I need do to the same. Sugar is my nemesis right now too. Friggin ice cream and cookies. Ahhhhh 🤦‍♂️

@@steelhorses2004 I’m hoping to make 5k by the end of 2025. I think that is a stretch lol but I’m gonna try and get better quality and more content going. Thank you for all the positivity and support. Liking and commenting does mean a lot.
