Old Belt Drive ,Standard Direct Drive and New VMW Washers

I give anyone an "A" for effort, of even attempting to repair or replace a belt.....it may or may not work, but you gave it your best shot....that's all anyone can ask.....

I was raised, you didn't use it unless you knew how to fix it, how to take care of it, and/or how it operated.....washer, dryer, lawnmower, car, etc.!....

most want to just throw clothes in and turn a switch.....but run when something goes wrong!....

your never too old to learn something new....

if the odd chance that you need to call someone to fix something that your not familiar with.....you better be there watching closely, so you don't have to call him again.....and ask questions!....plus offer him something to drink, it can go a long way....

Good advice, just make sure you don't try to help with the repair. Service people usually hate that. Lots of times I went out on a service call along with the technician in case some heavy appliance had to be moved or taken into the shop and saw many instances of "customer interference." Most times I just stood their and watched. It was a great job for a teenager to have especially since the return trip often meant a stop at the doughnut shop. My dad was the manager and I was sworn to secrecy.
