Customer Repair Stories
The lid switch which signals that the washer door is closed malfunctioned. Even with the lid closed the washer would not spin because the washer was detecting the lid as open because of the faulty switch
of wire which had to be installed. The installation of the wiring harness was extremely complicated which involved popping off the control panel of the washer, prying up the top and disconnecting some other pieces to complete the install. There should have been a clear warning on the replacement part, that it was completely different and likely too difficult for a non-professional repair man.

Signs of a faulty auger include unusual noises like grinding and scraping, incomplete wash cycles, and torn or tangled clothing.

The agitator rotates back and forth to move the clothes inside the tub to clean the load.
This drive belt is sourced from the original manufacturer for use in various models of dryers. It is a rubber belt that connects the motor to the transmission of the washer. It enables the drum to spin and agitate during the wash cycle. The belt is prone to wear over time due to the high friction it experiences. The belt may slip, become frayed or lose tension. If the belt is faulty, the drum will have difficulty rotating, you may notice loud banging or squealing sounds, and a burning odor coming from the washer. You can find the belt near bottom of the drum or towards the back.

This is a mode shifter or shift actuator for models of washing machine. Mode shifters are designed to change the function of the washing machine motor, between spinning cycles and agitation, and is usually installed at the bottom of the washer. If your washing machine is not spinning or agitating during its washing cycle, or if it simply does not start, this shift actuator is likely bad and in need of replacing. This shift actuator is made mostly of plastic, and features two holes to secure it with screws, as well as a single wire harness that connects within your washing machine. This shifter is an OEM part and is sold individually.
This is a clutch for your washing machine. The clutch is made of a white plastic material and is used within washing machines to engage and disengage the transmission during the wash and spin cycles, and ultimately help spin the basket of the tub so your clothes finish damp and not soaked. If your washer has issues with spinning or agitating, this part is likely broken or has worn out, and will need to be replaced. To replace this part, some disassembly of your washer will be required, and tools like a screwdriver and socket wrench will be needed. This clutch is sold as an individual and does not come with any other parts.

The lid lock striker is an important safety features that helps to prevent injury or damage while the washer is running. If the striker is broken or no longer functioning, the door will be unable to stay shut, and the washer may not start or may it stop running mid cycle.

Don’t do this, but we prop the washer lid open so it doesn’t get musty between use; we put a sock or something in there to prevent the striker fro closing. When a family member hops up on the washer to get to the highest shelf in the laundry closet it snaps! And the. The washer won’t function.
Just unscrewed the two screws with a Phillips, slid the old one out, the new one set in perfectly, and used the same screws to hold it in place. 2 minute task total.
