It's great to see this. I've learned a lot from my stepdad and learned to repair rather than replace. Vacuum cleaners were money maker's for me. They get dirty and clog- the belt breaks and the brush has all kinds of hair etc wrapped around it. I found them in alleys everywhere. So $5 and 20min- and I sell it for 20-40$ depending. This was in the 90s. If you can read- just about anything in your home is repairable!! Repairing carburetors is like doing puzzles!. Thanks for a new one!. Buy American!🐘🇺🇸🐘
You should do a video on how to clean a top load washer . I just moved into a rental and the washer has some gunk in it. Love your videos very informative and easy to understand
Had no agitation on my '90s washer. Popped the softener cup out, grabbed a socket extension to reach down the column, and tightened the bolt. Works perfectly again.
My first machine both washer and drier were trashed picked- a neighbor just like you had me pick ‘em up when he saw them and had me put them in my laundry room - a day later and $9 in parts I was rockin’! Thank-you Ed Hubley!
This vid hit me at a good time. My clothes (mostly towels) have been smelling mildewy even after washing. I planned on going thru my washing machine this weekend to see if it's broke. It's a Samsung, similar to the one in this video. I'll have to look thru your vids for info about the drain system and see if that's something that needs cleaned out real well. Maybe the machine has mold in it somewhere that I don't know about. I dunno. I'm subbed man, keep up the awesome work!
I have a brand new washer n it sends clothes to one side n shakes...oh n it starts to fill w water, stops n the washes w almost no water. Elderly n need ur advice.
I'm so proud of how your making your better life by fixing and teaching how to repair issues with your washers!!❤ I wish you were available in Massachusetts!
I wash my clothes in 5-gallon buckets with a plunger for agitation. Rinse with clean water and hang dry or dry in my solar powered trash can clothes dryer. Saves money and it's good exercise.
I had “this” washer. Hated it. Worked on it until the transmission finally gave out. Decided to stop fixing it and found a used machine to get us through until we moved. I remember when this brand was the best you could buy.
Another thing that would be a good idea for a vid would be if you have a 2 part agitator and only 1 part will turn, changing the plastic cams inside it. They're like 5 bucks on Amazon and have been in there for about 5 years now.
The hub under the agitator can wear out too. If you hear a loud noise while the washer is spinning or your clothes come out wet, the teeth can be worn off of the plastic gear
Fun Fact that washer needs a new belt and pulley. You can't see it but I can feel it. The area that the belt makes contact with on that pulley has a smaller diameter that the spots that don't make contact. Witch make belt slipping possible when under load.
I found my problem for this same issue was a little girl’s sock stuck in the water pump. Way better than paying for broken parts. Make sure you know your problem before throwing money away. Never contact a repair person unless you already know what’s wrong.
I love that you show ppl how to work on their things but I worry that ppl won’t know how to properly de-energize their equipment and could electrocute themselves believing that unplugging is all that I required. Because I don’t know washers and dryers maybe that’s all required but I know some things hold energy in capacitors
Fixed a similar issue on a friend's washer. It ended up being a worn splutch. But I bought the shift actuator first. So, I ended up just replacing both.
Any suggestions for a top load Maytag performa that is having agitation problems AND leaking from the bottom ? We have 2 kids under 3 & really not enough money for a new washer anytime soon… you helped us save our dryer a few months ago !!! Any suggestion would be appreciated greatly 🙏🏼
You need to replace the tub seal and bearing. I just replaced that exact same washer because the 2 speed motor went and they are no longer available. It's in my garage right now. Come and get it.
I have the same washer but it shuts off only when using hot water. Works fine on cold, replaced the door latch and it still does the same thing. Stops after filling with hot water.
These washers are such crap lol but i keep piecing mine back together to keep it going the bearings even failed in mine but i didnt want to spend the money on the whole stupid assembly so i drilled all the rivet spots out and pressed in new bearings then bolted it all back together with a new tub seal and its still working
My Maytag Bravos is making a faint tapping noise, I replaced the splutch and that is not the problem. Could you tell me if the shift actuator is the problem. Sometimes my washer wouldn't fully spin out. Anything will help.
30 seconds into the recalibration it made a terrible short grinding/buzzing noise then all the lights shut off as if it stopped the 3 to 5 minute calibration.
Derrickwith2rs what would keep making the IE code keep coming on an LG top Load. The hot & cold little filters were cleaned & the hose that drains the water was put in about 12 inches. What would you do next?
Pardon, do you know why a Kenmore 700 would be inclined to over-fill during a Normal cycle? the level sensor works.. When I start a cycle, the drum fills to the proper level, then spins, then starts filling again without draining, and doesn't stop filling. But the Handwash cycle runs properly.. I'm thinking there's some issue in the logic of the clocking apparatus/cycle selector.
American engineering.....critical part: let's make it plastic and crap!
Thank goodness there are good people like you to help out!
It's Chinese. Goober
@@YungEagle3k No, they're not. Top load washing machines are USA specific and most commonly made in USA by brands like Whirlpool and GE.
They must be making German automobiles.

Fun Fact the parts are made across the globe but assembled in America.
I had that washer, replaced that part, did the calibration,.. moved and bought a set from the 90's that's easy to service.
And way more reliable, parts are dirt cheap and plentiful, I had this washer and the main board went out and it was 300$ older ones are way better
You should do a video on how to clean a top load washer . I just moved into a rental and the washer has some gunk in it. Love your videos very informative and easy to understand
I'd like to see that as well. Our Wash is always has more lint than before washing.
Use cleaning agents and scrub and if the tub needs to be cleaned use afresh pod or something
He has done those videos.

Replace the dogs when you get a chance. Ten dollars and you're set.
@@bipolarbear7325 Yeah, that's a good idea. I did clean everything while I was down there; it all looked good.
We also normally change out the capacitor with it, it's a cheap enough part and those two tend to like to break in tandem.
My first machine both washer and drier were trashed picked- a neighbor just like you had me pick ‘em up when he saw them and had me put them in my laundry room - a day later and $9 in parts I was rockin’! Thank-you Ed Hubley!
I replaced this on my washing machine myself. Saved me lots of money doing it myself. Thank you! It was so easy.
The Best and fast Technician in the Business!
Thank you so much Derrick, take good care.

Don't forget to check the splutch too. I've seen lots of that style shift actuator get broken from a worn out splutch.
These are the number 1 thing that go bad on these kinds of washers. I've also had the capacitors blow out.. fun times.
I'm so proud of how your making your better life by fixing and teaching how to repair issues with your washers!!❤
I wish you were available in Massachusetts!
I wash my clothes in 5-gallon buckets with a plunger for agitation.

Saves money and it's good exercise.
…Fred Flintstone used to do this also (well actually Wilma Flintstone did it-I’m a sexist)
Man I've learned so much from your videos. Thanks so much.
My washer was made in the early 70s, picked it up off the side of the road. Thing is still running like new.
I had “this” washer. Hated it. Worked on it until the transmission finally gave out. Decided to stop fixing it and found a used machine to get us through until we moved.

I bet you are getting more & more popular. People deserved you years ago! Keep up the good work!
please dont stop doing what you’re doing. these videos are awesome! 💗
Subscribed. It just takes one honest person to make a difference.
What I need to do is create a library of your excellent vids.
Fixes that anybody can do.....I appreciate your generous view of the world 😁
Your videos are amazing! I do plumbing and try to save money all the time.
Thank you for posting! We definitely need to repair instead of throwing away.
Yoooooo, I threw out that same exact maytag washer for thay exact same reason. You mean to tell me it was as simple as that???!!!! 😱😱
You should be glad that you have an excuse to get rid of it lol
You are my hero!!!! Keep it up! I need this knowledge to fix my crap
The hub under the agitator can wear out too. If you hear a loud noise while the washer is spinning or your clothes come out wet, the teeth can be worn off of the plastic gear
God bless you. Thank you for the videos
Omg that's my machine! Imma save this! Thank you!
This man is a genius
Your videos ate very informative. Thankyou.
If you looking for info there’s a book in front left of the washer just have to lift the top up it will walk you through everything
Fun Fact that washer needs a new belt and pulley. You can't see it but I can feel it. The area that the belt makes contact with on that pulley has a smaller diameter that the spots that don't make contact. Witch make belt slipping possible when under load.
I need to know more about calibration , and code reading.
So, I have subscribed.
This is awesome! Now is there a guy that does dishwashers that I can watch! #dishwasher #repair
I found my problem for this same issue was a little girl’s sock stuck in the water pump. Way better than paying for broken parts. Make sure you know your problem before throwing money away. Never contact a repair person unless you already know what’s wrong.
Could also be the impaler is stripped where it connects to the drive
Thank you for helping people ☺️😂☺️☺️☺️
Thanks for doing these.

these washers are fun with the plastics gears
Man! You are so Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
I love this guy he is the freaking bomb!!!!
Excellent work 😮
RepairClinic is amazing.
Thank you for your videos.......
I agree @repairclinic 👍🏻
As a repairman, what parts do you stock in your truck, seeing as how you never know what brand you will be dealing with?
Haha…just switched this part out on my washer last week
This is why we switched to DD - Direct Drive Motors without belts in Europe.
THANK YOU!!!!
Good stuff
Good bless you brother
I had a broken wire that leads to the capacitor. It was a pain to figure out. Luckily the machine came with a thorough service manual
I don't own a washer or dryer, but eventually I will. And eventually I will use this knowledge
Hey! That’s my washer! And the problem I’m having! Thanks random washer short!

@@andylucas8262 my husband fixed it already lol thanks tho
You should totally start a company that sells replacement parts for these machines. I can't imagine how difficult quality parts are for these to find.
Awesome fix 👍👌💯😎.
Good stuff. Thanh’s for the knowledge.
Bro I love your channel
Nah, thats not why it doesn't agitate. Eventually the wash plate and transmission splines strip so you gotta replace both.
Make sure you put the arm on the actuator into the slot on the transmission.🤣
I have the same washer but it shuts off only when using hot water. Works fine on cold, replaced the door latch and it still does the same thing. Stops after filling with hot water.
Is it better to just repair and old washer and dryer then to get a new one?
l envy your practical mind!
Nice. I’ll give this a shot
why did you need to remove the belt to change the actuator?
I need you YEAR'S AGO!
These washers are such crap lol but i keep piecing mine back together to keep it going the bearings even failed in mine but i didnt want to spend the money on the whole stupid assembly so i drilled all the rivet spots out and pressed in new bearings then bolted it all back together with a new tub seal and its still working
Why did you take off the belt? Unnecessary
Shift actuator, hahahaha... It's a wig-wag! :)
OMG 😳 I just need to buy from you
The 5/16 nutcracker lol
Ur a ⭐️ dude
Any suggestions on wheels for a washing machine? In my house the bottom always gets corroded and causes it to wobble a few feet every load
Omg ….. your kidding ! We just bought another wash machine - the 3 one in 6 years ! This last one we bought is a used one so I hope it works ….
Do you have a clip on cleaning lint out of Samsung driers ?
They don't really break all the "time ""shifter", my experience working with this units 👍😎.
My Maytag Bravos is making a faint tapping noise, I replaced the splutch and that is not the problem. Could you tell me if the shift actuator is the problem. Sometimes my washer wouldn't fully spin out. Anything will help.
Moat likely is
I’ve never had to take off the belt to replace the actuator on the 53 or the 55
👍👍

Derrickwith2rs what would keep making the IE code keep coming on an LG top Load. The hot & cold little filters were cleaned & the hose that drains the water was put in about 12 inches. What would you do next?
Derrick can you please give us a reputable website to order parts?
Got a video showing dryer element replacement?
Do u have a video on how to start a appliance repair cideo
I wish i could learn this
how did you do all that without any water falling out of the tub?
Just curious why you removed the belt
Never put the belt shroud back on… those cause problems with the belts getting jammed…
I have a stack washer and dryer. The dryer is making noise through the drum. How do I fix that?
Pardon, do you know why a Kenmore 700 would be inclined to over-fill during a Normal cycle? the level sensor works.. When I start a cycle, the drum fills to the proper level, then spins, then starts filling again without draining, and doesn't stop filling.

"Sometimes you have to spend money on good parts"
Lesson learned long time ago, thats why I tend to stand away from Chinesium quality.
I need your help! When I unplugged it the shift actuator wire plug in is corroded. What is the plastic white female part called?
I have an amana that is squeaky when agitating changed some parts still squeaky.
Ur crazy good lol
I replaced the water inlet valve on a Maytag washer. Do I need to calibrate it for that? If I do how do I do that? Thanks in advance.
Is there a way to test the shift actuator? Looked like the new part didn’t move freely?
