fixed! Thank you everyone who replied. I sent ahead and pulled the blower off and yep it was almost round so I replaced that as well. I put it back together and the drum failed to rotate. After a few frantic moments thinking I had ruined the motor or assembled the blower incorrectly I finally...

perfect! I just saw a video of removing that drum cover on one of the appliance repair part sites and it looks very easy. might as well clean as much lint out as possible..i'm probably going to swap a 40w 'led equivalent' appliance bulb in as well. any thoughts on a good bulb? lowes has...

thank you so much!!! i'm not sure if i want to hold out for a 712 or stick with the 612. i honestly dont use that many options even on my current model. i'm also looking forward to getting my hands 'dirty' as i am used to fixing things..swapped out a ridicuously expensive 'motherboard' on my...

LA612 Hey all, I'm looking to purchase a 1987(?) LA612 washer/dryer set from someone who has taken really good care of them. Do you know the difference between the "A612" and the "LA612"? I'm going to offer him around $150 for the set. Is that too high or low? I've seen the insides of the...
