THANK My sister, who lives 90 mi from me, called and said her clothes were soaked, water still in washer. She did not need this issue since her husband passed a week ago and she now lives by herself. After watching 5 videos concerning this problem, I was ready to take a 2 hr drive, remove the enclosure from the washer and remove the obstical from her pump. UNTIL, watching your video. I called her, she did what I said, washer working great. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

My nephew and I just spent 3 hours of our lives we will never get back. The level of frustration we both experienced is unimaginable. I was looking at buying a new washer online when somehow, by some divine intervention, your video showed up. I tried this. IT FREAKIN WORKED!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this video.

One more to report this fix worked with deep thanks to Word of Advice TV! Had my washer completely apart - spent an entire afternoon fighting with it. Thought the lid switch was the cause but the problem came back after running a load of bathroom towels - deducted it was too heavy a load and the unbalanced load shut off was happening. Found very little online about this problem and was lost. Had no idea how to reset the washer until I saw this video. Saved me another afternoon looking for a mechanical problem that was electronic. Knowledge is power.

After watching 20 other videos and troubleshooting everything I could think of, I was ready to give up and buy another washer. I figured it was the electronic control, but could find no schematic or troubleshooting info. I searched one last time and found your video. It worked! It's been a rough weekend. My water heater circuit board blew yesterday and I spent the day replacing the heater. You saved me a lot of time, money and aggravation. Thank you!

[wyattreynolds]

We have these washers at the apartment complex where I do maintenance work. Your video is going to make me look like an appliance repair genius to the Property Manager one of these days. I've already put into use lots of knowledge you've shared, when performing HVAC work orders. I'm sure you have been told this a zillion times, but I want to say it again, You are a gifted teacher! Thank you very much and Best Wishes to You and Yours!

[lounichol]

I had the repair guy here (with DECADES of experience...) and he told me I needed a new timer. He was going to order it and make a second trip out to my house (30+miles) to install it. I found this amazing video and it worked like a charm! Saved me around $250 at least. It happens when my washer spins an unbalanced load. THANK YOU!!! PS I cannot believe the repair guy didn't know this!

[shihanUKS]

I thought you were being funny too. The thing quit. On a dice roll, I tried it on a feisty ten year old kenmore 400 with parts I replaced earlier. A watery putrid experience I dreaded going through again. I was about to go after the pricey cycle selector and/or the fuse until I just tried this expecting nothing. It worked. Im listening to the washer right now going through its paces. No repairman in the history of repairmen has ever shared this. They will say its a big job and then when you're not looking, they will reset it and charge you. You kicked over a serious cow sharing this. Thank You in public.

[YTCMCRxfly]

OMG, it WORKED!!! Thank you!!! I was not looking forward to buying a new washer. May God Bless you with plenty of money and knowledge to help us out! Thanks again.

[vivianbarths]

Thank you. I just tried this with my 5kg Pinnacle washing machine and it worked! I was already panicking about what to do, since I stay alone. YouTube has really been saving my life these days

[PonoLittle]

Thank you so much! My new GE washer/dryer combo wouldn’t drain after 3 attempts. In desperation, I tried your method. I couldn’t pull out the heavy machine so I turned off the breaker. Hallelujah! The machine went through the drain and spin cycle as it should. So grateful and blessed!

[Jessica_Rodriguez]

I also have a GE washing machine and I just washed them this video, completed all the steps you said to do. My washer has not been spinning the entire week mind you. I followed the steps and to my surprise, my washer is happily spinning once again! Thank you so much for saving me a lot of money!!! You are awesome! Today’s date is December 20, 2019 and you are my appliance hero

[michaelliston]

No way!!! It worked!!! I thought that was way too easy to possibly be true, but you saved me probably hundreds of dollars on getting a repair person. Thank you!!!

[catherinewheatley]

This worked for us! I laundered heavy duty items causing an uneven load and the next set of wash was sopping wet when I went to put the clothes in the dryer. We tried lots of things and were about to give up and face a repair bill or buy a new machine. My husband found this video and like magic, we’re back in business! Thank you!

[sophieblast]

You were sent from heaven! My agitator stopped working and I just knew I was probably going to have to shell out $500 for someone to fix it. All other videos were take it apart and fix it yourself. I came across yours and thought no way, but tried it anyway. IT WORKED!!! Please give me an address or something where I can send you something to show my appreciation. God bless you!

[Street]

Are you aware that today you just saved me a heap of money having to book a service call. I have a Kenmore top-loader and it's 25 years old.
I followed your instructions exactly and it worked like magic. Thank you so very much. Thumbs up . . . that's for sure.

[suebeesue]

I have to tell you this is the quickest fix ever. If you have a husband like mine who forgets things in his pockets and has to unplug machine ( which completely throws it into a messed up mode) it will not run. Follow his instructions b4 doing all the diagnostic stuff and wasting LOTS of your time. Good luck

[jimdwright]

Your advice worked like a charm. My Amana washing machine was beyond warranty when it stopped working. I was so disheartened and contemplated taking it to a professional repair shop and paying through the nose for the privilege. I watched your video, followed the instructions and it's back up and running like nothing ever happened. THANK you! Jim

[bretthenry]

I watched this video and thought that it was kind of silly, but then thought I might as well try, and it worked. Thank you!

[jaeslattery]

Went through all kinds of tests, took apart the machine; only to catch this video: it worked! lol, who would have thought. Thank you friend.
