Well, what better way to start the year...   At least with a Maytag, broke, and I'll fix, and use for a while.   Just picked up, notified party early in week I would take, but they waited until the last minute today to make first contact...come get.   A pic or two still on the truck...

Update GE>>Model: GDF520PGD0BB Well, hope all is well with everyone in the New Year... Quick update on GE>> Finally picked up after the floods (11 inches over 12 days). This will be the best 20 dollars I ever spent... What a Cheap, Flimsy, Cheap, Light, Cheap Bill of Goods>> The...

Well Shucks Partner... Looks like a did backstep on you... Sorry about that.   Hadn't had the time, but I'll see what I can do over the weekend. I need a break from some of this anyway!   Take care, Happy New Year, Eddy

Its a gamble>> Hello,   I would say its a good chance its just fine. As long as someone didn't try to run it froze...   And I can say this from what happens here. I am like most of you, sometimes, they pile up outside or people drop off items when you are not around...This past cold spell...

Ignitor>> Matt,   Did you look at the ignitor really good...you know a hairline crack is all that is needed to send everything south...   Just a thought,   LaVidaBoem

Through the Valve>> Matt, Sorry to confuse...I meant through the gas valve...if you have voltage there at the coils, it should have a sound to let you know its opening.   I think you know what you are doing...pull that valve, and see if you have any flow through it when valves are energized...

Coil Voltage>> Hello,   Its gas, so line voltage...110v.   Look at your wiring diagram. 1 & 2 are hold 1 & 3 are assist...pull in 4 & 5 are Main   Its sounds to me that you have no gas...the flame sensor is going to tell the board to cut the ignitor if no initial heat, just as it would...

No Fire Gas>> Hello,   Are there any codes?   Are the coils actually energized during start/run? Using a meter, see if they are getting current.   If so, stuck gas valve from moisture, and sitting.   Gas Dryers: The thermal fuse is wired in series with the gas valve. If the thermal...

Only guessing>> You can't deny a picture... But I have never seen that here.   Mopar>> On the belt drive Centennial, if the mode shifter is not working correctly, it would leave too much space, during agitation, causing the clearance between impeller and drum to be excessive, allowing...

So Sorry... Dan, Didn't mean to confuse you...   The Drain is what I am speaking about. The one drain shown, I would call 1 drop. Pipeheads...top of that drain pipe in the picture.   I assumed you wanted two stand pipes to drain into... 1 on the left, near the duct, and one about where...

Speaking Like the Old Man I AM>> Yes, it makes my back hurt too...   And, it does nothing for the wallet either!   LaVidaBoem

It can be that simple>> Hello Dan,   Congratulations on the new beast.   I've enjoyed you videos over the years, make some new ones ASAP!   Now, with the plumbing, yes it can be...   But If you want a neater look, I would extend the drain pipe (now) under your water pipes, making sure...

I was curious too>> Why don't they sell, I even contacted the seller...seems like an OK guy.   Is there something about this model? Known problems?   Or are they just not worth the trouble?   Thanks In Advance, LaVidaBoem

My 2¢ I'll just mention a few facts about E-lux.   1. Cost way more for same washer as much better bargains.     (Whirlpool, Maytag, GE, and even LG) 2. Made cheaper overall than most 3. Will cost you more to do anything, or any part 4. Material is much lighter grade than competition 5...

Yes, Machine is Totally Done For>> Hello  Neighbor,   Can I take it off your hands now??   No, in all seriousness, I think its the time honored points burned in that position. The timer motor doesn't run all the time...only when the timer tells it to do so.   Maybe some of the more...
