Broke single mom here - I needed a new lid switch, changed that and I couldn’t believe it wasn’t still working since the switch was definitely broke. Turns out I also had a sock stuck in the same part. Thank you SOOOOO much for this valuable video! My son and I can finally have some clean clothes lol😅
Good gob Mr
Exact problem I'm having, and it's pissing me off
@@SC1127-p4k just talked to my guy at the local place and he said they’re coming out with a new version soon that isn’t a total piece of shit
That’s so awesome, I own a window tint buisness and some clients trucks don’t fit, will be doing this soon.
Thanks man
I am very grateful for this video because I was able to unclog the pump. The only thing I couldn't do based on this video is put the machine back together.
Same. I'm in that boat right now.
ALL I NEEDED was how to safely get the top part off & was afraid to break it... glad it just pops but needed quite a bit of effort doing doing! Always helps to know in advance how best do anything as I've broken too any things in my not so short of a life! Haha!
With this broken washer, when the timer got to the drain cycle, was there just silence and the timer wouldn’t move? Or did you hear any noise as the drain pump tried to do its job? I have silence and I am about to do this procedure, but I wonder if it is the switch instead.
Is it too hard to turn the phone sideways? I hate this.
How long did this take?
An evening
M18 for the win, I love it for light driveway cleaning and for the car and motorcycle, very strong for its size
Same happened to mine after a few times of use , seems like a common problem ,
Anyone know if these would work at all on an H200?
BRAW PAS, USE FOR SMALL TITIES
Great video... I'm looking at doing something similar. Did you extend the top rails out 18" as well to accommodate the extra door height? Thanks. :)
I did everything in video and it still doesn’t drain i me it spins just doesn’t drain
Sorry I’m really not sure
If there is nothing stuck in the pump or hoses (that I can see ) what would be the next thing to look at?
Does it spin freely? Also check power to the unit?
@@FixerMerlinmine spins it just doesn’t drain
Thanks, I was really curious about the difference in runtime!
Have trnents but thair own washers
Screwed up the end result for the visual
Thanks, I gave the information to Bill in Texas.
Bill from gatesville?
@@FixerMerlin No, another Bill. He fixed it too.
I wish you lived where I lived. I’d pay you to do mine. My suv is lifted so I can’t even park in the garage. It sits outside. Sad life for me. 😢😢
Haha! That’s some bullshit! Get that door lifted and put your suv in there!!
Thank you so much! I thought my sander was broken and now i have repaired it
Hey man really nice video, I have almost the same situation, I have high roof van , and I only need about 7 inches higher to make it fit, my ceiling is pretty tight I might have 10”, I’ve seen a vertical door opener, believe is called jack shaft , installed on the side , do u think that might work? Scary project
Thanks! You can do it! The jacks shaft openers are superior but way more money. If I needed to replace my opener I would have gotten a jack shaft but I just reused my old one
what a weak design - same thing on Ridgid and Ryobi, that brake fails after a short time and needs to be replaced🤦🏻♂️ nowhere to buy that in the Home Depot, and now Milwaukee😱 Dewalt simply better constructed and will last much longer, belts available
I got a replacement at Milwaukee service store but including my time it was cheaper to buy a new sander. I’ve had a corded dewalt that’s been taking heavy abuse for 10+ years but the cordless one is so convenient it’s too bad they aren’t built better
@@FixerMerlin i agree, having the same brake problem now but with Ridgid. Found the part in the internet, it's cheap, but delivery is 7x price of the part itself. Thinking would it be good to pay 1/4 price of a new Dewalt sander for this part for Rigid or just it's better to buy a new Dewalt. I sanded my deck with Ridgid and that's seems maximum it can do with 1 brake...too fragile imo, thanks for your video though!
What size bearing is that
Looked over to see the guy helping with milwaukee sander free running....now I need new brake. Might as well order a case.
These sanders really are dogshit, too bad because it’s really nice not having the cord
Did you find the compression spring located under the power terminals where the battery connects? I did. It popped out and It took me 45 minutes of searching the web for a schematic. Fortunately it was easy to re-install.
I don’t recall that happening but it was a while ago now..
Man that door looked like it wanted to drop at the top. It needs different springs.
Ya the spring upgrade was part of the job
we have the same vision but your skill far exceeds mine lol good job!
Thank you! You saved me a bill! Just an FYI to everyone else, the amount of water that WILL drain is the amount of water that is in the washer. I recommend removing as much water as you can before doing this. For what ever reason I figured there was some sort of stopper and the only water that would come out was the water in the hose. I was wrong. Luckily I had a bucket nearby and caught most of the water! Thanks again!
mine does it right out of the box. brand new and that is what it does.
Ya my second one didn’t last long either. It’s hard to find m18 tools that aren’t great but this sander is a real hunk of shit.
I have the same washer but can’t seem to find a belt for it online can you help me out
Google the model number + ‘parts’ that should put you in the right direction, or take the old one to your local appliance shop and they should be able to id
@@FixerMerlinhey I’m wondering if you can tell me on this Kenmore model why the water level dial won’t turn, it’s on extra small load and now it won’t turn back to right for larger load? Help?

Thank you sir!
@@FixerMerlin 🌹❤️ Thanks must be for you
❤
Needed the mud mixer to work in reverse, but it always stalls.
Hmm don’t think I’ve had that problem, did you figure it out?
I have the same problem with my Troy-Built impeller. A friend sent me a link to this video. I can't believe there's not more videos on this. Anyway, thanks
Glad it helped!
my impeller just got bent yesterday... no where nearvas badly as yours ive got a Poulan... but it looks identical to your craftsman.. .. thanks for the vid
You are welcome! Stay away from the rocks🤣
Thank you for making this video, it was very helpful.
Glad I could help!
Your Hiace videos are invaluable. Thanks for taking the time to record them and make sure the explanations are clear and concise. Honestly, a huge help to a new 95 LH119 owner. Appreciate it.
Thanks! I always found repair info for these vans hard to find
@@FixerMerlin Same here. It's great to see what all a task entails with required tools, time, possible hurdles and skill levels before I start tearing things down and realize a project is possibly above my pay grade. Feel free to add as many Hiace videos as you like, I promise to watch all of them 😅
Were you able to source a replacement gear for the overhead opener?
Yes they are easy to find on Amazon
Yeah, I bought a cheaper pair that really just heats the back of your hand, not the palm side at all, and not the fingers. One day they might make something a carpenter can use that you can gingerly stick into a pouch and pick out freezing duplex nails, but this is obviously a piss poor design and a waste of 300 bucks. Better to buy a good battery powered nailer for that price lol
would you know if they still make kenmore washers,as i have one its a 70 series .
My understanding is that kenmore was sold exclusively by sears, and seeing as they’re no longer in business I doubt the kenmore brand is being sold. I think there are other brands of basically the same machine but don’t know if they are still being made?
How many times have you been electrocuted with those needles nose?
With the needle nose, with the dykes, with the lineman’s pliers, with the screwdriver, with the hammer…..
You rock! I will gladly help spread your channel. Thank you
Haha thanks!
Thanks for the video. It saved us 100s of dollars, so easy to follow Thanks a million 😊
Inspiring video - thanks for making it!
First rate diagnosis and fix!
🙏
Good video but you haven't really showed how you fit that rubber brake. I bought one to replace, but no instructions no videos available
It’s Been a while now but once you open it up and separate the 2 halves it just goes in where the old one was
I hope you see this before i f**k up my kitchen floor hahah should i have bucket handy or just towels down? washer is full 🥲
