Thank you SO much- great instruction! The project is not as intimidating as I thought it would be' and I saved $$$ by not having to pay someone else to do it.
Chip, another great video. It seems like a lot of the manufacturers are making their appliances so cheaply and they know that many of them will only last a few years. So many of these new GE gear cases and the Whirlpool VMW gear cases have oil leaks. Job security through planned obsolescence.
Hey Shane, that’s what it looks like. Someone figured out they could sell more if they design them to break. We had some bad weather here last week. We were out of power for 24 hours. How did ya’ll do down your way? I heard it was bad along I-10.
@@HarperandKnowles On two different days last week we had some very bad storms. In my area, near Milton, we had a lot of downed trees and tree limbs. A lot of people in this area also lost power but we were fortunate and never lost power last week. I had a few service calls get postponed last week because the customer did not have power.
I picked up an Amana washer and the guy I got it from said it would not wash or spin out then he told me that he put gear grease on the pulley thinking it would help... And I told him by doing that you didn't make it any better that he only made it worse so after removing the belt guard and cleaning up the pulley and of course replacing the belt and then I went on fixing the problem...
@HarperandKnowles Thanks for your videos! Just got a washer today that I thought the transmission was bad because it leaked oil. I usually part them out like that. I cleaned and replaced the belt. Doesn't seem to leak any more. Weird stuff. I do believe they're made to brake tho. Keeps us in business 😅
Those GE transmissions have grease in them. I’m not sure where the source of the oil is but I’ve found once you change that belt once it usually stays fixed.

Some people do the strangest things. Thanks for watching!
@@HarperandKnowles They sure do... And welcome
Could be a clogged cold water screen. I've gotten severel with just that simple issue. Just blow out the build up and it's fixed
That’s always the first thing I check. Thanks for watching!

@@HarperandKnowles That's good to know thanks
Since you have a lot of tear downs. Why wouldn’t you put a used valve on there. Or even ohm check the cold side and just replace the broken portion?
This is a customer’s machine. I only put new parts on customer units unless I’m asked to put a used part on.
