http://www.idkfa.com/v3 idkfa: syndicated http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=5395&msg_id=5412 I turned my washing machine over topsy turvy, and its totally the part that Dave the Appliance Guy said. I can order a replacement at appliancepartspros.com. And, i can follow this video: http://applianceassistant.com/Appliance-Repair/VideoSearchResults.php?id=12101 And repair it! This is something i can totally handle. in short, idkfa, if you have home appliance issues, lets you and me try and fix it with the applianceassistant.com and appliancepartspros.com.

It was set up for next week on Thursday. Well, we need it done before then, so I tried to have them come earlier. No dice. I googled washer repair, and davetheapplianceguy.com. I called him and described the problem (it sounds like the motor is still spinning, but something broke in the linkage or transmission, since the basket doesn't spin). He immediately said, it sounds like the motor shaft linkage, and that it breaks all the time. He said replacement parts are ~$20 at an appliance store, and if it didn't work, I should give him a call. Now I kinda just want to track him down and give him a case of beer. I did run home at lunch and try to figure out if his solution would fix it, but I got to the point where I realized I was about to make a much larger mess than I was prepared for during a lunch hour. I'll try again later, but the more I think about it the more I think he's right. In short, for any home appliance repair, Elizabeth and I will always use this guy from now on. kitacek@idkfa.com (kitacek) Mercy General Thu, 22 Aug 2013 18:15:43 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=5395&msg_id=5409 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=5395&msg_id=5403 It's possible to do it, you just can't be precise about it. lizinthelibrary@idkfa.com (lizinthelibrary) Mercy General Tue, 20 Aug 2013 21:44:38 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=5395&msg_id=5403 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=5395&msg_id=5398 first I have to convince someone that yes, it is possible, to felt using a front-load washing machine. kitacek@idkfa.com (kitacek) Mercy General Tue, 20 Aug 2013 14:09:58 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=5395&msg_id=5398 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=5395&msg_id=5397 I want to replace it with new fancy high tech energy efficient ones, we'll see kitacek@idkfa.com (kitacek) Mercy General Tue, 20 Aug 2013 14:03:38 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=5395&msg_id=5397 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=5395&msg_id=5396 Let me know what you replace it with.
