How about a bucket turned upside down and maybe some noodles or padding around that to keep the tub centered? Just a thought.

There are some nice various models of smaller portables listed on Amazon. Some are obviously the same manufacturer and listed under different names: Midea, Curtis RCA. As someone who lives alone- I love the- they are very lightweight and portable. I have a Haier hooked to a laundry faucet I...

LOVE mine- this is my second I got one new on the cheap two years back http://www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?52848 I live alone and it works out great for me, especially through the winter, because the small machines sit in the bathroom. The Haier uses much less water...

On Craiggslist- 11 months old, in new condition Less than 1/3 retail price new. LIFE IS GOOD!

Switch defeats me! I got the HLP23 1.5 cubic feet model new over a year ago. I wanted to defeat the switch as well especially since it has an opaque plastic lid. It was cheap online, but as it was new I didn't want to take it apart- I figured the switch might be triggered by one of the...

I've gone to cooler temps the last few years myself- and even less detergent some times. The clothes last longer that way- the exceptions are the very dirty and greasy things- but these diminish as the years past and I can't comfortably do as much of the things that get my clothes the grimiest...

Still going GREAT! After seeing this old thread, I realized it's been a year now. In that time the little Haier has seen lots of use, but with no troubles and REALLY convenient. I have that Kenmore space saver dryer I converted to 120v power in the bathroom too, and all last winter used this...

I had an older style 220 volt receptacle catch fire a couple of years ago out in the detached shed I have set in.. I had fair warning, it had been crackling when I first turned the machine on just a bit, but as it hadn't worsened I hadn't paid it much mind. I think I did check it a little more...

Here's what my Maytag looks like:

Yes, yes- a very GOOD piece of information, but not the problem here- which I just finally seemed to have cleared up this afternoon. Heres a summary of my repair journey- I first got a reconditioned replacement timer- and put that in- not really very hard, but I did it before viewing the videos...

Too old for this kind of thing though- very hot out in that shed here in Florida now and not the best of light. Not a "Cheer"-ful situation!

Got the hoses off with vice grips finally- new hoses with some grease on the thread will be forthcoming. Took the whole back, but maybe didn't have to- could NOT find any screws to take the top of the instrument panel off, but it may have clips at the bottom should have watched this first: I...

I've done a little research now on this- It looks like it may be the timer- and there are a number listed on the net- I need the model number to order one- some aren't too expemnsive which I might order, even if I have to have someone do the repair otherwise There are several videos on...

So I've always been a little fascinated by the dials and how they might work- Is the movement electrical or mechanical? it seems as if they are spring loaded and mechanical rather than electrical- do they advance to electrical contacts points otherwise? Is there a way they are generally...

Rats. I hate company! Ha.
