Appliance spray paint is a great way to cover up any chips and scratches that have appeared on your appliances. Instead of replacing the part entirely, this is an easy fix. This is also a great way to give a fresh new look to any handles or areas that have discoloring due to wear. Make sure to clean the area before you begin and wear a protective mask for safety. Give the can a good shake and spray a few inches away from the surface. Apply the paint until the area is fully covered as desired. Wait until the paint has dried before using the appliance.

The washer kept giving a 'suds' error or an F35 error and would not progress through any of the wash cycles. It would partially fill with water, just enough to dampen some of the clothes, and then show the error message.

  • Really Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins

I removed the 3 screws toward the top of the back of the washer to remove the top. After that, I located the water pressure level switch, slid it out of the slot into which it is secured, removed the narrow black tubing from the bottom of it, and draped the newly-unattached end of the tube so that it would be easy to find. Then I remov ed the set of wires and discarded the old switch.

Next I attached the wires to the new switch, attached the black tubing and put the switch back into the slot. I tested the washer and it worked. Next, I put the top back on using the 3 screws. That was it!

Removed the top (3-4 screws at back). Flowmeter has 2 hoses with hose clamps. Removed with plyers. Simple electrical connector removed.

Reversed procedure. Running perfect now.

How did I know it was the flow-meter? Read the service manual as possible causes to narrow it down. Disassembled old flowmeter and cleaned . That fixed for awhile. Problem came back, could 'tap' on flowmeter to temporarily fix. This convinced me that was indeed the problem.

The flowmeter is just a simple vane that moves as water flows across it, and sends pulses each time it rotates. If it 'sticks' then the computer doesn't think any water is coming in - hence the error. Tapping on it would 'unstick' long enough to confirm problem.

Washer leaking

  • Alexander from Miami, FL
  • A Bit Difficult
  • 30 - 60 mins
  • Pliers, Screw drivers
Opened the front panel with 3 crews T-25 or socket wrench. Panel comes off right away.

Look for the leak. Determined it was the hose. Use power pliers to remove the clamp.

The small clamp was easy. The big one I had to use my yoga to get to it. It probably would had been easy from the back panel but moving the machi ne requires brute force.

Once the hose was out I found some bra under wires which is what probably punctured the hose.

Removed the front filter and found a bunch of nails.

Assembly was much easier and placed clamps so that if needed it would be a lot easier to remove and replace.
