[@taro546]

Thank you so much for your video. It helped me a lot. Followed every step and now mine is working like a coal miner.

[@foggy460]

We don't have these types of washing machines in the UK. But I found your video very interesting and helpful. Thank you.

[@helpinguonline]

Thanks for the visit

[@DukeOfEarle]

The pump is good if it reads 15-25 Ohms. Bad with 0 or very high.

[@mystic1of1]

i wanna whgo the band playin in background is ... nice drums

[@GoExperimental]

so what was the issue to begin with? You didn't find any faults or blockages and somehow it started working again?

[@jamesgaffney7591]

Does this particular WorldPort have a filter a drain filter before it gets to the pump?

[@mrcoollu9662]

Thanks very informative

[@helpinguonline]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Patriot9616]

Thank you

[@XolaniAndile-bt3uh]

Its helpful thank u

[@kkissums1175]

My washer won't drain and spin in a cycle but it does it perfectly fine when I put it on "drain and spin". Any idea what that usually is? Any idea would be appreciated! Thank you.

[@jbiggy85]

It could be the timer knob is worn out. The contacts inside the mechanical timer some times wear out and it will not advance. When you manually turn it to spin the contacts might be better in that position. They can get finicky with age...like humans! Lol

[@ucdred1]

So what was the problem? If everything works??

[@GoExperimental]

Exactly

[@KOOLAIDxK1D]

awesome vid, thank you

[@helpinguonline]

Glad it was a help to you

[@rayshalstjules3827]

Would I check the same way with a Krib Bling

[@HoangNguyen-yt1ie]

thanks bro

[@craigrosa7722]

So if you didnt find any blockages in the pipes and the pump was good then what was the problem???You should have checked the filter too because thats most often the problem

[@helpinguonline]

Here is what the problem was

[@craigrosa7722]

@@helpinguonline I watched the video on that link and it was very informative thank you!

[@culturemyworld2362]

Couldn't find your video on replacing the drive hub.

[@helpinguonline]

I wasn't sure how to include that in this video?. The Drive Hub video won't come out until next Tuesday. BUT... I definitely wanted to have that in there because the drive hub going bad in these washers is a very common problem that affects the tub spinning and draining properly.
Watch for that video this coming Tuesday!
Thanks for your visit.

[@sim7409]

how bout not draining at right time? our will drain but not at end o cycle as it used to.we must put it into an extra spin cycle

[@helpinguonline]

Sounds like your timer might be going bad

[@jbiggy85]

Agreed on timer going bad.

[@ramosochoa418]

​@@helpinguonlineAfter cleaning my pump. I pressed the button start then the water began to fill the drum , and the water just drain out to the drain line that connect to the water pump and out through the drain.
I checked the pump separately with alligator clip. It is good.
Usually When you fill the basket with water the water will not come out to the water pump and drain.. Is that the timer or setting causing the water to come out to the drain. When I put to drain/spint the pump worked good. Thanks.

[@maxxmich]

never use a power impact drill on plastic.... use hand tools

[@gregdelarosapraiseyah9843]

[@mrcoollu9662]

[@John-dr6qd]

Why are you showing people how to check a pump when you don't know poop! Checking zero means it's bad goofy.
