I actually completely agree with y’all. If I ever buy a rebuilt/refurbished washer, I’m still tearing it down myself to make sure he or she did a good job.
As for me and the machines I rebuild and sell, I take pride in my work. I replace every part that is broken or badly worn out, and for raw labor like cleaning and disassembling, I do everything that needs to be done. I rebuild every machine as if it was going to someone in my family. I sign my name on every machine I rebuild, and I don’t put my name on things that I half ass. I really hate how a lot of people nowadays, especially in my generation, just don’t take pride in their work. They want to get a job done as quickly as possible with the least amount of effort.
This is why I thoroughly document all my rebuilds and extensively test each machine before selling. I want to make sure anyone who buys from me can see everything that I did. The only things I didn’t do to this washer that I probably should’ve was repaint the cabinet, top panel, and lid, and replace the spin tube assembly. I didn’t repaint because I couldn’t find an exact match of this almond color, and I didn’t replace the spin tube because the old one is still in decent shape and a replacement is too expensive, especially to replace something still in decent shape. The pitting you’ll see on the spin tube in reply 25 picture 4 are just surface marks. They have no depth to them. I’m still thoroughly testing out the machine myself to make sure it doesn’t have any problems, and I will replace it if it does.
