eaglescout526 Posted April 27, 2021 Author Share Posted April 27, 2021 Eh you get what you get. They came with the house. I suspect they went through some BS abuse from the previous people that overloaded the washer. Which would make sense on why the dryer squeals.

Anyways the washer wasn’t spinning after doing a load. Great...more issues with newer appliances yay. So I went into the washers on board diag mode. Forced the motor to spin through there. Wouldn’t spin. Ok great. So I tilted the machine up. Had my buddy hold so it wouldn’t fall on me while working. So I took the protective belt cover off and spun the tub and motor by hand and it spun freely like it should. So my next thing was to text my dad and he threw some ideas out. So I figured I’d take out the motor(power obviously disconnected) and see what it was doing. Well it still spun freely and I showed my dad and he said a module could be broken. So I cleaned up the connector and threw it back in. Went back into diag mode on the washer, forced it to spin and low and behold! I have a working washer now. Fun stuff. Also my entertainment center is coming along nicely. I see you like your gaming systems. Atari, OG nintendo, N-64, Wii,xbox360? What else am I missing in your line up?

eaglescout526 Posted May 1, 2021 Author Share Posted May 1, 2021 Slowly but surely is everything coming together. Everything is almost out of my old room at my parents house. The last stuff to retrieve is the tools and MJ parts. Anyways here's some pics: Garage And the completed entertainment center.(almost) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglescout526 Posted May 2, 2021 Author Share Posted May 2, 2021 The battle of the washer has finally been won. I really wish I took more pics of what I was fighting but lets just say it looked like someone dumped mud in there and let it run. This is in the tub. I had to pull the agitator and found a metric ton of gunk all on the drive unit. I had to whip up some muriatic acid and water to get all the stuff to come off easily. Whats in the tub now is basically all the came off. Under the agitator was just as bad. Basically what was happening was the agitator was having a hard time spinning smoothly and freely which is a problem seeing how thats how the clothes get clean. here's under the agitator after running it through the dishwasher I wish I knew what the stuff was... Anyways I got it all lubed up and reassembled and it spun freely to my satisfaction. Let me reassemble it and give it a whirl. Nope still not spinning the agitator without the tub. So I had to take "clutch" assembly out and lube it up so that way it would stop catching the tub and actually do what it is supposed to. And here I am right now listening to it run through a self cleaning cycle to get all the gunk in the bottom of the tub gone. I also made $3 in dimes!!

eaglescout526 Posted May 2, 2021 Author Share Posted May 2, 2021 Thats exactly what I keep saying!! When I serviced the dryer I found 50 cents and I found just about 50 cents roaming the yard and probably about a dimes worth of pennies around the house.

eaglescout526 Posted May 15, 2021 Author Share Posted May 15, 2021 Washer bought the farm. Damn thing. Turns out it was more than just the motor that was going bad. The trans unit was starting to seize and not operate freely. Shouldve looked at the motor belt guard and realized that the washer was done but I know myself, I don't like to give up on equipment until it is dead dead. So $500 later and I got a new samsung unit. Now to clean out the dryer vent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglescout526 Posted May 24, 2021 Author Share Posted May 24, 2021 Not much been going on. Just small mundane things and repairs like replacing the shower hot valve because the screw that holds the knob on snapped clean off a while back and I finally replaced it. No more turning it on with channel locks! Other than that it’s been trying to sell the excess appliances and cleaning up the garage while slowly but surely getting parts from my parents house. Found a few more pieces to throw up in the for sale section so keep your eyes peeled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
