My daughters current dryer is giving her problems so I'm cleaning up a 29" Kenmore top-mount filter model to take to her in a couple of weeks. I plan to paint the top surface because it's got rust damage (probably from setting a bleach bottle on it over the years). However, my question relates...

Here are two pictures of the heating element that failed in my ASKO washer. During the past few months I started getting an error code (F6 = Temp. Stop Fault. Temperature is not reached within 80 minutes) so I just replaced this element and the first test cycle appeared normal today. This...

I have a 2007 WP DD washer with the "dual action" agitator with the ratcheting upper section. It needs a new set of dogs. I have removed the center 7/16" bolt and the entire agitator lifted right up and out with little resistance - no problem. Now I just cannot get the two sections of this...

I dissected the front shock that failed on my SQ FL. This is from the prior generation residential FL model AFN50FSP111TW01 from 2013. We can see the spring broke in two places. When I first took it out, the two smaller sections where both wound up inside of that larger section. At first it...

I got this old vacuum years ago on the advice of my sister because she really prefers these older canister cleaners to her new upright. I haven't used it as much as I thought I would be would like to learn more about it. I haven't decided if I want to spend much time and money refreshing it...

I went and purchased this Asko washer the other day. The gentleman said it came with the house they purchased a year ago and that they had been using it during that time but recently they replaced this one with a new LG. It was disconnected when I saw it and when I first spun the inner drum I...

I'm taking a top vent Whirlpool gas dryer out of storage. I have access to 120v electric so I can plug it in and do a basic run test. However, I do not have a natural gas supply to be able to see if the heater will fire up and produce heat. Is there any way to test (or partially test) the...

I have KM with the top lint screen, 29" dryer with a two piece front panel. One nice thing about this front design is I can use my stethoscope to pin point noise when the dryer is running because the front of the drum is still supported. Anyway, I've found the left rear roller is making some...

I picked up a KM DD set to help a elderly lady. The washer makes a ratcheting noise when it is agitating. Not a clunk but a zip, zip, zip, zip, zip, etc. It is the teeth of the dogs because I can hold the top so that it rotates with the bottom and the sound goes away. I had this happen...

All of the old direct drive washers that I've seen have some type of paper cover attached to the bottom side of the motor. It often is shaped to have "ears" extending out on the corners; and I have seen one early example that used a metal plate. If memory is correct these covers may be there...

I'm working on a project WP built KA model KUDS35, point voyager DW built around 2013. It is cleaning, heating and operating just fine but I continue to always get a couple of error codes that I've never been about to clear (and I do run the cycle to clear the codes after making changes or...

I have a WP (Roper) DD washer and find that I can reach in to the bottom of the tub and rotate the bottom agitator fins back and forth while the washer is in it's wash / agitation cycle. (We are NOT talking about the top part of this dual action agitator that has the dogs) This machine was...

On my ASKO W660 series washer, the door is very hard to get it to close. If I push very firmly on the door (without slamming) the drum usually hit's the back of the case before the door latches. My guess is that it's taking 12 to 20 pounds of force and while I've noticed (from video's) that...

This relates to my AFN50 (prior gen. FL) I have noticed that there is some small "pocket" under the detergent drawer that collects liquid that cannot escape. Over time it may tend to get a bit messy (although out of site) and may contribute to odors. It's hard to see but in the last picture...

I have the opportunity to purchase this SQ FL (guess 10-12 yrs. old ?) that is said to have been diagnosis with a bad "vibration sensor" and it will not spin. I read that SQ recommends these units not to be moved more than a few feet without the transport braces and bolts installed back in...

When I took my transmission out I noted that my project washer is missing the two parts pictured that should be found on top of the spanner nut. My searching found an old post by DADoES that helped me to identify them as (part's #7 = 3354845 and #8 = 8543666). However I'm still not...

I'm still awaiting new parts for my washer project and decided to refresh the ~2005 Kenmore (Frigidaire Affinity) dryer. I've been cleaning out lint like crazy and will be installing a new fan/blower housing (fan had stripped off the motor shaft), new drum bearing and new front upper felt seal...

Six months ago I had purchased what I thought was a nice Maytag SAV (Amana-tag) TL washer that appealed to me because of the robust suspension. It already started leaking from the outer tub and I am following the consensus which was to cut my losses. Now I just purchased a Kenmore 80 series...

I purchased this Maytag SAV5600AWW (series 10 that was made in Oct. 2001) only about 6 months ago and delivered it to my daughter who lives 10 hours away. As you can see I cleaned it up real well and it was working great. Recently she was washing a mattress pad and appears it was overloaded...
