You are my HERO. I cannot thank you enough...You just saved us soooo much money especially since we are retired seniors. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU...
🗣Omg I fixed it!!!! Thank you so much. I am a 64 year old woman was washing my clothes yesterday and it wouldn't spin. Went into a panic and hop on RUclips looked at a ton of videos and yours was the only one that worked. You have no idea how grateful I am thank you thank you thank you I will be telling everyone to subscribe to your Channel💖💖💖
I have old Kitchen Aid Washer. it rinsed but did drain nor spin. Symptoms are exactly like you show in your video, so I followed your instructions and bingo, it worked like a miracle, took 10 minutes and a a zip tie. Thank you so much for saving me at least $200 services. What a saver, helpful man you are.
Video was posted in 2017 but just so you know it has saved a life in 2020, life of my wallet! I fixed my washer myself thanks to you video. Thank You!!
What a Godsend. Took maybe 5 minutes. I had a tub full of water and heavy towels that wouldn't spin. Saved me at least $100 or the cost of a new washer. Bless your heart!
You are awesome!!!! I am so glad, that I am jumping and shouting with joy. My husband was helping me doing the laundry this afternoon when he told me the machine was not draining. I watched other videos in you tube looking for the possible problems and their solutions, but I found them difficult because I have no tools or the strength needed to tilt the machine and do all the job; I am a 63 years old lady. My husband is disabled. I just followed your instructions, and voilà!! My machine is working again. Thanks. You saved me from buying a new machine and investing money that I do not have. Again, a million thanks.
This guy knows his stuff. I didn't know what was wrong with my washing machine until I saw this video. I can't lie, I was skeptical about trying this on my whirlpool washing machine. But it actually worked. Thank you so much.
THANK YOU, SCOTT! Watched the video, went back into the laundry room, pulled the switch out, zip-tied it, put it back together, and have a happy wife! Did order a new one that I'll replace later. Great tip!
Lifesaver! I'm a single mother with 2 kids on disability and have to be so frugal. This was the exact problem I had and now it works! Thank you a zillion times! 😍
Thank you!!!!! This worked!! I was after my husband to fix ours and showed him this video. When he saw it took a few minutes he finally fixed it!! I was researching new washers and read horrible reviews of the high efficiency washers and how people hate them! I want to hang on to my whirlpool washer from 2001 as long as possible because they were made to last and let you choose your water level. This saved us so much money! ThAnks again!
This TOTALLY worked!! Took longer to go the truck for the zip tie than to do the repair EXACTLY as demonstrated! Now everyone in the house is getting an hour class on WHY YOU DONT SLAM THE LID!!!
Thank you for saving me $150. All other videos indicated it was a "timer" problem. I was about to order the part and my wife came across your simpler "lid switch" problem. Tried it and washer works fine now. YOU DA MAN !! Thank you, Thank you.
I want to thank you so VERY MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!! Two days ago my wife came to me and said the washer of 18 years had quit working during spin cycle. Well I said to myself the old washer was ready for washer/dryer heaven. We went out to several places to compare prices including looking on line. This week I was able to buy a new washer and dryer, no sense in getting a new washer without the other. That would have been over $1200.00 and it's at sale price. Thought there has got to be a way out of this and that's when I came across your video. For the cost of $1.95 for a bag of zip ties from Home Depot and two minutes work, felt like I won the lotto. Really appreciate you doing this video.
This tutorial DIY was definitely a life saver 🛟 I just tried this on my washer and it worked !!!! Definitely saved me a few hundred bucks.. thnx so much!!!
You just saved me about 600.00 bucks that I don't really have. I was about to leave the house to buy a new machine , then I saw your video. I tried it and it worked. I thankyou Its people like you that make this world a much better place.
Thank you so much for your video. I'm a 65 yr old lady and not handy at all. I was ready to buy a new washer, but I was so blessed to find your video. I did have to pay a guy $30 to help me to fix it for me. Again, thank you. I subscribed to all your channels.
You are Brilliant! I looked at various DIY methods involving jumping wires, bypassing the switch, etc. My wife was not having any of that for it did not seem safe. My model had a bracket that prevented me from tying underneath and around so I tied it from side to side, being careful not to obstruct any of the screw holes, etc.. So far, it has worked perfectly! At a minimum it should hold until the inexpensive new part arrives, meanwhile, we can still do laundry! Thanks much!
I troubleshot this problem for hours. I gave up and have been going to the laundromat for weeks. Was planning to buy a replacement washer but decided to research one more time when I found this. I didn't think it was a lid switch problem, but after taking 5 minutes to zip tie the switch, the washer works Perfectly! Thanks, Bro!
Just fixed my washer with your zip tie strategy. Thank-you for taking the time to share. Tee Hee! This will blow my husband away when he gets back from shopping...should I text him? No I want to see the look! Great tip! Score = 12 of 10

I have never commented but you saved me hours. I watched another video that said I had a sock jammed inside. I got ready this morning to take the whole thing apart and saw this video. Sure enough about a 5 minute fix. Thank you!!!!!
Thank you! You are a genius!! Your directions were clear and correct: not only did they help me solve our washer's problems, but they also helped me understand precisely what the lid switch does and how that switch broke. Following your directions, I spent less than five minutes fixing our machine. Thank you again!!!
Thank you! Washer didn't drain tonight and we were about to go buy a new one. When I saw the cost of a new one, I searched RUclips for some possible fixes instead. 10 minutes and one zip tie later and our washer is working again. Made a small donation as a thank you.
I can't thank you enough for this video. I was so stressed out with Christmas coming and laundry piling up everywhere. I thought that my very expensive washer was kaput. From my family to yours..... THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!
Nice Work Buddy!! I was about to order a new timer switch and then I had a look at the lid switch and it was near identical issue. The factory appied glue has worn out and it seperates now making improper contact when pushed!! You saved me a call or calls to Whirlpool \ Kitchen Aid and nobody wants to deal with those guys..TRUST ME! :) THANK YOU!!!
Your video was a life saver!! Thank you soooo much!!! My old washer had broken, so my son and me hauled a new one upstairs to hook up. When it sat there, with a tub full of water...I threw my hands up. I thought my new one had just broken also! I saw your video and started thinking maybe the piece broke on the lid because we accidentally slammed it off the dolly kinda hard. Sure enough, the zip tie fixed it!! I’m a happy mom!!!
Yesterday my washing machine stopped spinning and draining. Then I saw this video. I saw it again and went to open the switch. It was loose so it was not functioning properly. Then I just did how you showed to use cable tie. I took just 2 minutes to do that. It started working perfectly. I was checking for the price of new machine for buying. Now I saved big money because of this technician. Thanks Thanks Thanks.
I can't believe it, but THANK YOU SO MUCH, I was calling around for the lid switch part is around 50 bucks for my washer, but the zip tie worked perfectly, you are the Man!!
I am 70 years old. After I come home from water aerobics, I always put my swimsuit in the washer and spin it to get the majority of the water off, rather than put it in the drier. I panicked when my washer would not spin. So I looked up instructions on RUclips and liked your description best . I followed your ideas and now it works. Thank you for being so detailed but clear about what I needed to do !

Thanks Scott. You saved me a day of shopping for a new washer today. I am the hero today (at least for a day) because of you and my Phillips screw driver and one of my drawer full of zip ties. Much appreciated.
I just did this! Christmas is in a few weeks and I was stressing out having to buy a new washing machine. After buying a bag of zip ties from Lowe's for $3, I watched this video and fixed it myself! After 4 days of being down, my washing machine is up and running now. Thank you so so so so much!
Our Kenmore washer, which is about 30+ years old, was resurrected thanks to your 5 minutes DIY fix! Thanks a million, Scott! May the Lord Bless you RICHLY!
I know you have heard it a lot, but I still need to say it. Thank you so much. Your video is very helpful and the trick worked for our old washer. Thank you again.
My washer has been down for 1 1/2 weeks. I was in desperate need to wash. I watched other videos along with yours, which was at a much easier paste. I got my tools and went to work. Didn't have any zip ties but my strong casino string worked and there you go. Good as new, yippie. Thanks for all your help. I'm back on business now.
Thanks so much! You just saved me $500 that I was going to put down on a new washing machine. My set up was a bit different but since you explained what you were doing very well, I was able to adapt and make it work. Thanks again, you rock!!
Thank you. 68 year old woman here. To be honest, I am generally leery of repairs that claim to only require a few hairpins and a wad of bubblegum, but as the issue was just a matter of bringing the switch casing back into alignment, it turned out to be, as you promised, a 5-minute fix. My Kenmore Series 80 washing machine is back in service, and now I have time to order a proper new switch to replace the failed one, without having to live with a machine that would have needed bailing out.
I'm a 52 year old single mom who had to do/fix everything even when I was married and appreciate your video! The casing wasn't broken on my daughter's washer. It was the cheap plastic lever itself that had broken but your video gave me the info of where to start looking. Glued it back on and sealed it. At the very least, I was able to drain the water out of the tub and know it isn't the pump going out. Thanks so much!
Brother you are THE MAN! I love it. Fixed the machine after it had standing water in it for a week. Whew! Love it. Ordered the switch off Amazon based on your other video, but this did the trick for now. Machine is cleaning as we speak!
Thank you so much. I am in quarantine with an immunocompromised person. I did not want anyone coming in the house. I was able to fix this in 2 minutes thanks to your video. Tons of karma for you. For anyone watching, you can use a much smaller cable tie. It still works. It's also a good chance to clean the mechanism. Mine was very glunky. I used a toothbrush. Do not get glunk inside the casing.
@@erickanew LOL! I'm 3 years with the zip tie and still going strong! Thankfully, my son is really careful and doesn't drop the lid. If we ever do on accident, I MIGHT buy a switch, but the zip tie works so well and is such a cheap and easy fix, that I might not!
I checked this video out earlier because I was having the same issue and I tried the method you show, and I just had to come back to the video and send you a huge THANK YOU!! it works now, I was so stressed for days on how I was going to pay to fix or replace it, it's the little things that maybe to you is nothing but for me this is huge, thanks again.
Thank you very much. I have the same washer and was about to have a panic attack thinking I needed a new washer. I’ve had this one since 1997. I can’t believe I fixed it!! ❤😊
@@QuickAndEasy5MinuteAppliance i Owe You A couple Of Case's Of Beer..Did Exactly What You Showed. Thanks Aton Dude..A Repair Man Might've Charged 100 Bucks For This Simple Fix. Much Love 🙏💯.
Thanks! My washer stopped Sunday afternoon while washing workclothes for Monday...I was frustrated and was looking up repair sites when I saw your youtube vid. Five minutes later with my trusty phillips screwdriver all was fixed and machine was working again! Many thanks for your timely advice! :)
Thank you. I pray that the Lord will bless you and keep you and make His face shine upon you and your household the rest of your days. For sharing this brilliantly simple solution I pray that you are bless with good finances and health and that generations would rise up and call you blessed.
Followed you instructions and it fixed the non-spinning problem. We were on our way to our local appliance store to buy a new washer. Thank you... the machine is 13 years old. Now who knows how much longer it will live.
Thank you soo much for helping me with this issue. I've had this machine since 2004. No issues until now. I appreciate the help. Although i didn't have a zip tie so i had to quickly improvise with three bread ties twisted together. Made it tight enough to put around the piece to make tight. walahhh🤔😊
UMMMMMMM THANK YOU! no lie, I watched a couple of other videos and this was by far the BEST solution. It literally took me 2 minutes to fix. I knew immediately what was wrong and you gave me the best fix. Seriously, thanks a million!!!!
Hi there, THANK YOU so much for sharing this video! I had exactly the same problem with my Kenmore washing machine. After we watched your video, my 9 years old son and I tried to replace the bad Lid switch together, and it WORK!!! Now I am not only a Happy Mom, but also feel like I have a "new" washing machine. *^_^* THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! You are my life saver! The new lid switch cost me about $6.50. I sure have save a lot of money by fixing it myself.
This is the best video on the subject. Presentation and instructions are clear and precise. Thank you so much Scott! You are a great teacher. Just bought you a coffee:) Please stay safe and wish you all the best!
Thank you so much Scott! I followed your video and it worked. I thought I had to buy a new washing machine but thanks to you, I didn't have to. I was so proud of myself as a single woman home owner. Thanks again!!
this was exactly what happened to my Kenmore series 70 washer; the switch housing couldn't stay together resulting in the switch not closing. I needed two zip ties, one on each side though but problem solved! Thanks so much!
Omg I have the same model and I had to put two zip ties on my mines as well and yes problem was solved thanks to this video!!! I feel so relieved now this video truly saved me some money! Now I can cancel my Mr. Appliances appt omg so happy😅
washer just stopped spinning/draining this morning....started freaking out about what to do with a full sudsy load of soggy laundry...found your video, luckily had screwdriver & zip ties in garage....et voila, your fix worked & the laundry load is now finishing it's wash cycle....thank you!!!!! ❤️
This trick worked. Mine had a metal plate but the concept of using the zip tie to hold it together worked like a charm. Thanks very much for posting your video!
Thought I'd take tomorrow off and give myself a 3 day weekend. Sure as hell washer craps on me late tonight. This just saved my day off from being crap. I knew for sure the switch was dead but I never would have thought squishing with a ziptie would get me by. Thank You.
This fixed my kenmore washing machine! I was going to have to buy another washing machine or pay $100 service fee + repairs to a repairman. Fixed it myself exactly as outlined in the video in 5 minutes with a plastic zip tie. Yes! Thank you!!!!
THANKS SO MUCH! As a retired senior Lady, I found this very easy and it worked! Icouldn't afford a service call, so tried RUclips. Awesome. I'm much less afraid to handle my own service calls with advice from experts like you. Again, thanks!
I tried it today and it worked. Thanks a ton and you really saved the day for me and my wife not to mention a lot of expenses. You have earned a lot of good karma by helping so many people. Please keep up the fantastic work ! Thanks again !
Thank you!!!! I just bought a refurbished washer and was upset when it didn't work, thanks to you washer is and my family will have clean clothes this week!
Thanks you saved me, I was using a friends summer place and the washer stopped working. So no way to wait for a part to come in and hated telling him his washer was broke and I couldn’t wash sheets and towels before leaving. This worked perfectly and I could do it with what was in his small tool area. You saved me.... 😍
Yep! Another washer fixed. I had to push the lever further down manually when It did not spin the first time. Next day found this video. Very helpful. Thank you for posting.
I can’t believe this worked. You deserve a Nobel for this. I had to remove a little metal switch guard thingy, but the whole operation took less than five minutes. Hopefully it’s good for another fourteen years.
I am laughing my X off! You are an absolute genius! I had a zip tie in my backpack. I was able to fixed my washer in minutes. Oxford must be proud. I join the rest of these comments, thankful and humbled by your wisdom.
I was ready to go out and buy a new washer, until I came across this video! It did the trick... You literally saved me hundreds of dollars, thank you so much!
This worked perfectly! Was having a panic attack at 12 AM stressing about having to buy a new washer... it's now fixed with such a simple solution. Thank you so much for uploading.
This is by Far the best and quickest fix that I have EVER encountered. THANK YOU Very Much for providing these videos, I am glad I came across this one since it saved me 100% of my hard earned money. I will always check here first before I have to call the repair man.
Thank you Scott for for the great tip. My wife is so happy that the washer work again and spend only a couple of bucks. I look like a hero to her but it was all you man. thanks again.
Nailed it. That was my problem exactly. I was about to purchase a timer and accidentally stumbled on this video. I'll be donating to this guy. He's awesome. I may buy a lid switch one day, but the zip tie did the trick.
OMG! Awesome instructional video. The issue of the washer not draining or spinning was exactly what happened to my whirlpool washer. The washer agitated but after that, it did not drain or spin. The washer remained full of water and I was hoping that I didn't have to drain it and this video was the solution to my problem. The quick and easy fix solution using the zip tie to secure the lid switch without having to purchase a new one (at least right now) was brilliant! Thanks for the video!!!

To be honest, I am generally leery of repairs that claim to only require a few hairpins and a wad of bubblegum, but as the issue was just a matter of bringing the switch casing back into alignment, it turned out to be, as you promised, a 5-minute fix. My Kenmore Series 80 washing machine is back in service, and now I have time to order a proper new switch to replace the failed one, without having to live with a machine that would have needed bailing out.
Thanks so much Melanie👍👍👍👍
I had this issue. Tried your fix and it…. WORKED!!! Thank you so much for posting this! 😁
Excellent , thank you
I'm a 52 year old single mom who had to do/fix everything even when I was married and appreciate your video! The casing wasn't broken on my daughter's washer. It was the cheap plastic lever itself that had broken but your video gave me the info of where to start looking. Glued it back on and sealed it. At the very least, I was able to drain the water out of the tub and know it isn't the pump going out. Thanks so much!
Very good,
Nice job😊
I just did the same to my kenmoore. Worked perfectly. Thank you.👍🙏
Thanks Jesse👍😊
OMG!!! can't believe this actually worked 😅 so proud of myself. Thanks!!!
Nice job Alina,
I’m proud of you too😊😊😊
@@QuickAndEasy5MinuteAppliance thanks again and it's still working 👍
Brother you are THE MAN! I love it. Fixed the machine after it had standing water in it for a week. Whew! Love it. Ordered the switch off Amazon based on your other video, but this did the trick for now. Machine is cleaning as we speak!
Excellent ,
So glad it helped👍
The same model with the same issue and fixed right after watching your video. Thanks so much for your detailed explanation and video.
Thank you so much. I am in quarantine with an immunocompromised person. I did not want anyone coming in the house. I was able to fix this in 2 minutes thanks to your video. Tons of karma for you.
For anyone watching, you can use a much smaller cable tie. It still works.
It's also a good chance to clean the mechanism. Mine was very glunky. I used a toothbrush. Do not get glunk inside the casing.
Nice job Debi, 2 minutes may be a new world’s record 😊🎉🥂🏅🥇
Thank you SO SO much. You just saved this single mom a service call and part replacement :)

Super cool😀
It only fixes it until you can get another switch. It will eventually fail when someone drops the lid. Buy a new one, they are only $9 on Amazon.
Lol, same exact scenario
@@erickanew LOL! I'm 3 years with the zip tie and still going strong! Thankfully, my son is really careful and doesn't drop the lid. If we ever do on accident, I MIGHT buy a switch, but the zip tie works so well and is such a cheap and easy fix, that I might not!
I checked this video out earlier because I was having the same issue and I tried the method you show, and I just had to come back to the video and send you a huge THANK YOU!! it works now, I was so stressed for days on how I was going to pay to fix or replace it, it's the little things that maybe to you is nothing but for me this is huge, thanks again.
You are very welcome😊
Thank so much! Save me a whole lot of money and I can’t believe one zip tie saved me hundreds of dollars
Isn’t that great😊👍
Thank you very much. I have the same washer and was about to have a panic attack thinking I needed a new washer. I’ve had this one since 1997. I can’t believe I fixed it!! ❤😊
Wow,
That is impressive 😊😊😊
Man, I owe you a beer! This was exactly the problem, and I did what you showed and it's spinning again. Thanks so much. You're the best!
+neub2009
Thanks so much,
That's such a quick and easy repair👍
i owe you a beer too!!!!it worked !!!!!thanks!!!!!
I owe you a 12 pk of beer. Thanks for the video. This was exactly the problem.
@@QuickAndEasy5MinuteAppliance i Owe You A couple Of Case's Of Beer..Did Exactly What You Showed. Thanks Aton Dude..A Repair Man Might've Charged 100 Bucks For This Simple Fix. Much Love 🙏💯.
Thanks! My washer stopped Sunday afternoon while washing workclothes for Monday...I was frustrated and was looking up repair sites when I saw your youtube vid. Five minutes later with my trusty phillips screwdriver all was fixed and machine was working again! Many thanks for your timely advice! :)
Isn’t that fun?😊
Thank you. I pray that the Lord will bless you and keep you and make His face shine upon you and your household the rest of your days. For sharing this brilliantly simple solution I pray that you are bless with good finances and health and that generations would rise up and call you blessed.
Thanks so much Mark😊😊😊🙏
Followed you instructions and it fixed the non-spinning problem. We were on our way to our local appliance store to buy a new washer. Thank you... the machine is 13 years old. Now who knows how much longer it will live.
+Marvin Werner
Thanks Marvin
Thank you soo much for helping me with this issue. I've had this machine since 2004. No issues until now. I appreciate the help. Although i didn't have a zip tie so i had to quickly improvise with three bread ties twisted together. Made it tight enough to put around the piece to make tight. walahhh🤔😊
+Nikita Waddy
Hey Nikita,
I like the way your mind works. Very smart👍
UMMMMMMM THANK YOU! no lie, I watched a couple of other videos and this was by far the BEST solution. It literally took me 2 minutes to fix. I knew immediately what was wrong and you gave me the best fix. Seriously, thanks a million!!!!
Awesome, thanks. Hayley😊
Just worked for my washer tonight. Saved me a ton of money and stress.
+Aaron Foltz
Nice job Aaron 👍
Hi there, THANK YOU so much for sharing this video! I had exactly the same problem with my Kenmore washing machine. After we watched your video, my 9 years old son and I tried to replace the bad Lid switch together, and it WORK!!! Now I am not only a Happy Mom, but also feel like I have a "new" washing machine. *^_^* THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! You are my life saver! The new lid switch cost me about $6.50. I sure have save a lot of money by fixing it myself.
Very impressive,
Thanks so much😊
This is the best video on the subject. Presentation and instructions are clear and precise. Thank you so much Scott! You are a great teacher. Just bought you a coffee:) Please stay safe and wish you all the best!
Thanks so much Ahn😊❤️👍
Thank you so much Scott! I followed your video and it worked. I thought I had to buy a new washing machine but thanks to you, I didn't have to. I was so proud of myself as a single woman home owner. Thanks again!!
Very well done😊😊😊
this was exactly what happened to my Kenmore series 70 washer; the switch housing couldn't stay together resulting in the switch not closing. I needed two zip ties, one on each side though but problem solved! Thanks so much!
Perfectly done😊
Omg I have the same model and I had to put two zip ties on my mines as well and yes problem was solved thanks to this video!!! I feel so relieved now this video truly saved me some money! Now I can cancel my Mr. Appliances appt omg so happy😅
washer just stopped spinning/draining this morning....started freaking out about what to do with a full sudsy load of soggy laundry...found your video, luckily had screwdriver & zip ties in garage....et voila, your fix worked & the laundry load is now finishing it's wash cycle....thank you!!!!! ❤️
Awesome,
Thank you👍
Bless you Bless you Bless you!!!! This worked perfectly! So easy, and so affordable!!! Thank you!
+Tracey Peters
Awesome,
Thanks Tracey😀
Thank you so much...I really appreciate it. I am 63 year old female and because of your video I was able to fix my washer. Thanks again.
You just saved the day! Thank you for this great and simple fix!
You are very welcome👍
This trick worked. Mine had a metal plate but the concept of using the zip tie to hold it together worked like a charm. Thanks very much for posting your video!
Thanks so Much Eva❤️😊👍
You literally made my day brigther as I now can wash my friggin bedsheets that have been soaking the entire washroom.
It was so easy to do too!
That's my story!!!!!
Thought I'd take tomorrow off and give myself a 3 day weekend. Sure as hell washer craps on me late tonight. This just saved my day off from being crap. I knew for sure the switch was dead but I never would have thought squishing with a ziptie would get me by. Thank You.
The zip tie fix makes it even stronger than when the switch is brand-new😊
Thank you very much your lid-switch idea worked like a charm.
+Eric Shields
Thanks for the feedback Eric👍
This fixed my kenmore washing machine! I was going to have to buy another washing machine or pay $100 service fee + repairs to a repairman. Fixed it myself exactly as outlined in the video in 5 minutes with a plastic zip tie. Yes! Thank you!!!!
+Peggie E
Nice work Peggie👍
I did it ! Great tips and easy to follow! It’s soooo helpful! Thank you so much! 😇😇
Thanks so much Vivi❤️😊
Man. I just saved over 100 bucks by watching your video. I feel like a Geico customer now. Your awesome. Thanks bro
Thank you so much!!! This worked perfectly, exactly as you showed. You are a lifesaver!
+theramsfan93
Thanks for the great feedback
THANKS SO MUCH! As a retired senior Lady, I found this very easy and it worked! Icouldn't afford a service call, so tried RUclips. Awesome. I'm much less afraid to handle my own service calls with advice from experts like you. Again, thanks!
Great job😊👍✨
Great fix! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much, Anthony😊😊😊
I tried it today and it worked. Thanks a ton and you really saved the day for me and my wife not to mention a lot of expenses. You have earned a lot of good karma by helping so many people.
Please keep up the fantastic work ! Thanks again !
Thanks so much😊😊😊
i did it im so proud.thank you so much.....
+Cat Palmer
Nice Job Cat,
Isn't that a nice feeling?
Thank you!!!! I just bought a refurbished washer and was upset when it didn't work, thanks to you washer is and my family will have clean clothes this week!
Excellent ,
Thank you😊
You da man, God Bless you!
Thanks so much Cameron 😊
Thanks you saved me, I was using a friends summer place and the washer stopped working. So no way to wait for a part to come in and hated telling him his washer was broke and I couldn’t wash sheets and towels before leaving. This worked perfectly and I could do it with what was in his small tool area. You saved me.... 😍
Nicely done😊👍
genius! I feel like a man again.
Yep! Another washer fixed. I had to push the lever further down manually when It did not spin the first time. Next day found this video. Very helpful. Thank you for posting.
Good job Richard 😊👍
I can’t believe this worked. You deserve a Nobel for this.
I had to remove a little metal switch guard thingy, but the whole operation took less than five minutes. Hopefully it’s good for another fourteen years.
Yep,
They are great machines👍
I am laughing my X off! You are an absolute genius! I had a zip tie in my backpack. I was able to fixed my washer in minutes. Oxford must be proud. I join the rest of these comments, thankful and humbled by your wisdom.
+goldwatereli
Thanks so much,
It's pretty interesting what you can do with the zip tie😂
Thanks a million, you really made the family proud of Dad. It was gonna be 2 or 3 day before a repairman could come out.
That is awesome, thank you
I was ready to go out and buy a new washer, until I came across this video! It did the trick... You literally saved me hundreds of dollars, thank you so much!
You’re very welcome👍
Thank you so much for this video. I just fixed my washer and saved sooo much money.
That’s Great News.
Thank you
This worked perfectly! Was having a panic attack at 12 AM stressing about having to buy a new washer... it's now fixed with such a simple solution. Thank you so much for uploading.
This is by Far the best and quickest fix that I have EVER encountered. THANK YOU Very Much for providing these videos, I am glad I came across this one since it saved me 100% of my hard earned money. I will always check here first before I have to call the repair man.
Thanks so much Julian 😊
Thank you Scott for for the great tip. My wife is so happy that the washer work again and spend only a couple of bucks. I look like a hero to her but it was all you man. thanks again.
You’re the hero because you used RUclips😎
Nailed it. That was my problem exactly. I was about to purchase a timer and accidentally stumbled on this video. I'll be donating to this guy. He's awesome. I may buy a lid switch one day, but the zip tie did the trick.
You deserve a medal for this - I sort of knew it was my switch (because it's broken before) but this zip tie solution worked and was so easy!!
Thanks so much Chloe❤️😊👍
OMG! Awesome instructional video. The issue of the washer not draining or spinning was exactly what happened to my whirlpool washer. The washer agitated but after that, it did not drain or spin. The washer remained full of water and I was hoping that I didn't have to drain it and this video was the solution to my problem. The quick and easy fix solution using the zip tie to secure the lid switch without having to purchase a new one (at least right now) was brilliant! Thanks for the video!!!
+robert salas
Thanks so much Robert,
Isn't that a fun fix?😀
I happened to watch your video before buying a new machine. I just follow the same steps the video shows and bingo! Save me a grand bucks. Thanks!
Awesome,
Thanks so much 👍
