    My 19yr son literally just looked this up and found so much underwear and socks and is currently trying to put our belt back on. He’s taken initiative to fix it himself and I couldn’t be more proud of him. Thank you for offering this information. It’s truly awesome of you

    One putty knife and five minutes saved both the washer and about 5 socks! Thanks for addressing the actual issue instead of the usual lid-lock solution.

    Thanks bud. This helped. In our case it was just the drive belt. More than just one sock inside the machine though. couple socks, pair of underwear, work glove... lol. Saved us having to get a repair guy here. Thanks again! :D

    Thank you soooo much. My son has the same stackable and the same issue. A plumber quoted him $800 over the phone and told him to just buy a new one. I'm his mother a 60 year old woman and when he went to work today I went on you tube and found your video and fixed it. You're video was great you're a good man thank you so much.

    My local appliance guy wanted over six hundred dollars to fix this for me, and to transport it to his shop. It was just a belt! Damn, thank you for saving me so much money which I don't have. I also feel so good for having fixed it myself :D

  • @grendelartemis5667
    @grendelartemis5667 19 дней назад +1

    Thanks for your video! This got me started with my fix, unfortunately mine wasn't the belt or Thermo actuator, it was a sock that got into the drain pump, but your video definitely got me to the right area. Mine was making the similar noises to yours, when i had the front panel off and did some investigating, there were a ton of clothes in there, but the belt was still in tact and spun manually. I turned it on again, and found the noise was coming from the drain pump. I was able to use a wet-vac to get as much water from the tub as possible, disconnected the hose from the pump and pulled out the sock. its up and running again! saved me $$ from having to call in a repair person. :)

  • @Savsg4711

  • @LNDF_Shiv
    @LNDF_Shiv 5 месяцев назад +1

    hey bud, watched your video half an hour ago, and yeah, my washer wasn't spinning 'cause the belt fell off. took me five minutes to fix. thanks man, I know this video's a year old, but it's plenty useful. glad you made it.

  • @CrashsCreativeChaos
    @CrashsCreativeChaos 5 месяцев назад +1

    😂I totally loved the humor and sarcasm!
    Lol so you totally taught me how to get that front open without a putty knife (my substitute was a long flat head).
    Never have I ever lol😅 seen the insides of a overworked and never paid washer and I felt for my little count on cleaning machine!!!!😮
    You had just 1 sock right? Let's just say I could've adopted yours to complete the football team I had.
    Not to mention all the dirt and dust bunnies that can't seem to find a rabbit hole to dive into!
    I'll take full accountability and responsibility right here and now:
    Hi. My name is Crash and I'm an appliance abuser!😢
    Crazy how one cleans behind, under and between everything in the open and even the outside of appliances but, never thinks about the inside and all the year's little engine was going even when it technically shouldn't have been.
    As a former Navy Bos'n Locker fixer of all deck sanders, needle guns etc., who had no clue but did never give up until it was fixed, I can see why house appliances quickly pass away and are replaced with the newest.
    Let's just say, it's not because of their inadequacy or choice but instead because of our wanting to overload and cram and hurry as we bypass the label instructions. 😊
    Thank you for your totally awesome tutorial BUT......😮
    say I had a friend of a friend that the spinner motor was spinning but the belt was on strike still yet, still attached. . .
    Would you by chance have any advice or suggestions related?
    Remember, this is just a what if scenario thing but I'm sure the friend of the friend would be much appreciative and obliged for you input. ❤❤❤

    It's called a Termoactuator, I looked it up for my daughter's GE stacked model(not sure if you said Thermo or Termo). I just sent her this link so she can get the front panel off to tell me the belt is in what state and we'll go from there. Great video thanks for this. Cheers

    PERFECTO
    30 socks

    Took more time to clean out all this than it did to put the belt back on...

    @alandove3734 5 месяцев назад +1

    Great video, I had to replace my Thermo Actuator too. Totally easy fix…..until you find the drain pump was jammed with the tub cover o-ring that fell apart after replacement.
    All is well now, with somewhat minimal water mess!
    Thanks for the video!

    I don’t have the type of knife you used in the video so I used the dinner strong knife and was able to open the front cover. And Yes! Found tons of socks and underwear. My 10’year son pointed out that they were from the previous owner lol Very helpful clip! Thanks again!

    Thank you so much for this video !! It helped so much and like everybody else I found “raiders of the lost underwear” under there!
