Hahaha .. been there done that ... my speed queen dryer fire was the last straw .. just finished a complete re-tool of my Mat - All new Huebsch ... & bought a McCulloch steamer thanks to you !! Appreciate ya brother !
@Following Keenan ! HVAC tech here that does repairs on that stuff too. What that color of flame means is either 1 as you said not enough air flow or 2 gas valve regulator has lost adjustment. If you have all dryer gas valves doing that it would be your main supply coming in, in your case since your other machines are not doing it the valve got stuck open more on the regulator. Sometimes you can hit them just enough to jar the stick loose but your at the point of replacing the valve. Better to be safe than sorry and not burning customer clothes. Good info you were handing out there.
Thanks for the view Keenan! Was very cool to see. Do the burners ignite by a hot surface igniter? I occasionally check the burner on my (Speed Queen!) dryer. So far been nice and blue every single time. Yeah the customers simply leave crap on the machines because they are lazy, really no other explanation for it. When I occasionally go to our laundromat for bed comforters, I always make sure all the detergent is in the compartment; never leave any mess on the machines
Sure I have that empty soap container issue, but I think over soaping is a worse problem for me. On getting a blue fame, I found that any lint weight preventing the damper from opening all the way is an issue for me.
Hey Keenan I’m a commercial gas contractor in Toronto Canada. Problem with your flame on that dryer looks to be a plugged or dirty orfices on the burner inlets. If they are clean, then swap out the gas valve and set the manifold pressure to 7 inches water column. But make sure you check the inducer fan motor for correct rpm’s. Good Luck
5-20lb. 5-60lb 4- 40lb. What water tanks do you recommend? Tankless Vs tank? What size do you recommend? Thanks again !! Your channel is growing each time I check in !
Tankless. I'll get a picture of my latest tankless heater Rinnai awesome works great. Ill check on size I have. Also i have a softner stick. I'll get it in Saturday video.
I just remembered u should check the quarters for silver quarters it’s simple line them up and check the edge if one is solid silver and doesn’t have the copper band pull it and check the date 1964 and before it’s silver any newer I’d still keep it aside and have it checked I may have a special one that has some type of dye error where it was stamped on the wrong coin blank
I know that it does sound like a not very good idea, but, is there any model of machine that will use its own soap and softener? For example, you pay an amout and the machine uses it's own soap and softener.
6:00 - I know what you mean about the soap, Keenan. I have some rental properties and the general rule is, "The less you expect of your tenants, the less you'll be disappointed". I'm sure the same goes for anyone who needs to use a laundromat.
Wow I did not know that about the flame sensor to the dryers. The laundry mat close to me jacked up their prices to the dryers. They went from 25 cents for 8 minutes to 25 cents for 6 minutes and now it's 25 cents for 4 minutes. And the dryers all SUCK! Some dryers are very loud and vibrate the door open. People HAVE made NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS and the owner just sits on her ass all day in the real estate office next door. If I was the owner to that place, it would be running way better and the laundry mat would be upgraded. Most of the machines are over 40 years old.
The vibration your talking about is one of two things. Blower motor bearing or the blower motor fan has lint/dryer sheet in it. Cause the motor to run out of balance and makes a ton of noise. Easy repair!
Leaving trash out could be a tell. Like a way to watch what you are doing or when you're roughly showing up to better know when you're not around. Especially if you have people hanging around after hours.
Got a question. I’m looking at a laundromat in Florida. Someone said the water bill can give you a good indication of the income. Is that true? The current water bill is running about $1500 a month for 174,000 gallons of water. Is that good?
Yes very true! 174,000/30=5800 turns for month. 5800 x $3 ave vend price = $17,400. That is what I have as a rought amount that Mat is making before Bill's. Did you get a monthly income, how close did I get?? My one mat use about 70,000 gallons mo. Makes about 9,000 gross a mo. I'll do a video on how I figured income.
Keenan you are crazy correct about the gurus. I think the stock market is still overvalued and some are heavily levered for the purpose of financial tax gains do to policies...hey I think I’m a guru! Want to buy some financial shenanigans material? Lol
Fire bad. You avoid that with steam dryers but gas can be more efficient if maintained . Thousands invested in machines and people are just too lazy to use a garbage can
I’ll tell you what. Now is a good time to get stocks. The prices are down. Whether it’s Robinhood or webul or whatever and you got a couple hundred, I’d go for it. I usually go for dividend stocks. My next goal is to get some carnival cruise line while it’s cheap. But yeah, I see the webul ads all the time, but I already started a little cash account with another online firm
That's why i like my local one. They use autodosing because people are stupid appearantly. they had older machines where people had to do it themself. But there where times where people just threw the bottle on the floor when they were done with it even tough the was a quarter of a bottle left and some poor person had to scrape it off. They decided to charge 50 cent extra and the problem became better after a couple of weeks. But they are so much work to keep going after a few years. Because the build in scale and dosing system
Webul What im not on here for a free stock. I just want to learn. Even chok full of Quarters I dont want the Money just like the info. They do a great Job Thanks for good content
LOL, My god, I laughed so hard I almost busted a gut. It's my wife. That lady will get out some kind of cooking oil, use it and not but it up. It goes right next to the stove. She will NEVER put it up. When we got married we had a disagreement. I have kept 2 different oils in decorative bottles on the counter top to cook with. Apparently, when you get married, that is no longer allowed. BUT, if she is cooking the oil stays on the counter for a 24 hour minimum!
Put a notice on the door notification of a 25 or 50 cents price increase due to having to hire a attendant for cleaning up behind guess. With notification that video will be playing video of the dirty guess. Then go through the Videos and make a couple of videos to play on that tv. You will be shocked how much people behave themselves if they are going to be embarrassed by their own actions.
Keenan, how are you dealing with the rise of natural gas prices. Almost 9.00 as I write this comment. I have a contract at a fixed rate of 3.00 and ends in Oct of this year. Have you increased your rates in your dryer time because of the increase in natural gas?.
Decrease time per quarter and some are turning down the heat. I'm at 5mins per quarter. I could see that drop more. Other places are doing a 50cent start before quarters even count for time. So basically a min charge for just using.
I just wanted to comment on you not doing it is greatly appreciated because as you said a lot of people are trying to sell advertising has gotten so out of control on RUclips as it is that's why I pay for premium RUclips to avoid advertising it really takes you out of the mind frame that you're in when you're watching a show or a video thank you very much
I Thinks Is Time For To Gets Another Dryers By The Way They Those Dryers Work Well At Our Laundromat One Of The Dryers They Very Old It Burn Your Clothes Up And People Do Same Thing They Leave Detergent And Don't Put It And The Garbage Can.
You need to go back and look at the hard drives video see who is ? Post photo of them showing other Guests that use the laundry place what other people’s reaction what are doing to their place try keep eyes on they place ? (Blue flame good oranges/red flame bad something need to be fix.? Don’t take add. Keep it Clean Keenan channel JingJingJing sound is good for me .(Norman said)
So not a fire hazard I was at the laundromat and saw the same thing but the flames weren’t as bright and slightly panicked grabbed my stuff and left No burning odor and the flames vanished when the door was opened so I didn’t feel the fire department was necessary Looks like it was just the gas valve malfunctioning and not a real dangerous fire that could of started my cloths on fire 😕🙂 I let the laundromat know what happened so they can check it
Picking up ones trash is just common sense. Some people don't have any common sense. But then If these same people has any common sense its I.Q rating it would be at 0-10. Sadly pickup up trash and other peoples mess tha mayt have bed bugs is all part of owning a laundromat.
Keenen complain about people that they don't think. I be like they go to a laundromat that says something. In my opinion you can better save for one and save money in the long run.
I can understand your frustrations on the gurus selling their products, and people asking you to push their product that you don't know. I would have a problem pushing a product without liking or using the product myself. But you have a platform now, and other buisnesses are trying to expand theirs buy advertising on your platform. Now since it's your platform you decide who you like to promote. I have seen you give free promotion to other laundry mat youtubers which is great. I'm not sure if you could understand what type of leverage you and your other laundry youtubers could gain if you could join together keep cross promoting each other. I bet you could gain a better percentage from your youtube videos through advertising each other that way. But never mind my point is It's all buisness. These are all entrepuners trying to get more eyes on their buisness. If you have a problem with what they are selling don't give them that energy by mentioning them on your platform. It's like they say any press is good press.
Know the business well. Lots of user errors. Countless times I have seen put in two cups of soap when one would do. Their mindest why one, when two would be better. Also they want to wash 10 dollars worth of vend wash, but spend $3. Same with the dryers. The people do not read the signs.
stupid is as stupid does... same people you see walking around in the 'hood eating and throwing their food wrappers on the ground as they walk... or the empty whiskey bottles out the window of the car on the off ramps in the freeway... "Well shit man... it's already dirty"... mentality ... lazy and stupid.
I laughed so hard when you did the "sponsorship" video with the gum pack wallet. And I knew exactly what your were doing there. LOL
Hahaha .. been there done that ... my speed queen dryer fire was the last straw .. just finished a complete re-tool of my Mat -

Another great one Keenan lol also couldn't be more right about the sponsoring lmao
You make a good piont on that guru bit and thank you for that fire in the dryer what color it should be 👍
Keenan...I have often wondered the same thing....it is funny.

I see a lot of SQ stacks after a few years, the back of the basket is all burnt up ????? Thought maybe did not have the right air flow ????

i manage a small battery business and my customers range from the stupid to the retarded ......very frustrating i feel your pain
Ever look into a heat exchanger header for preheating water with dryer heat vent and solar mix?
No I havent, that sound interesting.

It's because you don't have a recycling bin. That jug and lid are not garbage.
Some people think there saving money theyll go from a 55 pound washer to a 30 pound dryer
Did you ever fixed the dryer, and what was the problem?
Gas valve had an internal issue.
LOL, My god, I laughed so hard I almost busted a gut.
It's my wife. That lady will get out some kind of cooking oil, use it and not but it up. It goes right next to the stove. She will NEVER put it up.
When we got married we had a disagreement. I have kept 2 different oils in decorative bottles on the counter top to cook with. Apparently, when you get married, that is no longer allowed.
BUT, if she is cooking the oil stays on the counter for a 24 hour minimum!
People are just careless. Would hate to see the state of their homes 🤢
Put an angled cover atop of the washers as to not allow anything to be placed on top
Wish there were links to the other channels you mentioned Keenan. I can't seem to find them....

Two things in life are true. All valves leak and people are no damn good. Valves have gotten a lot better.
Why, you are so right

I didn't know laundromats used gas dryers.
im lovin it!
What does the code ERR mean on a speed queen dryer
It's a coin slot error if I'm not wrong
so if a toilet roll Company offered to sponsor you with a years supply of loo paper for a plug, you would'nt ?? no sh*t :)
