Probable the best repair video I've seen. Clear images & very easy-to-understand instructions.

Thanks Brother, very well explained, thanks to you I repaired my with a bad capacitor, God Bless you👌

[cliffordhanbidge]

Thanks so much for making the video. Helped me identify fault on my machine and with a new capacitor machine is happy again.

[jeffreywarnick]

Thank you, Phil. Your problem ended up being the same as my problem. Mine, too, started working with some assistance to the drum. I appreciate your video.

[blackfenboy]

Thank you so much for the great tutorial video!! You just saved me £350+. It was exactly that capacitor issue, it had actually burnt through one of the connections on the top of the capacitor. All the best to you👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[roybolland]

brilliant and well described great video absolutely second to none thank very much indeed

[DrDrgn]

Thanks for the detailed breakdown, I think the capacitor is my exact problem and now I know how to check it. Great video!

[derek-press]

great video and saved for future repairs, when needed, and yes those capacitors are nasty stuff, be careful folks! I know from experience ;), actually got a "sting" from one while trying to repair my garden water pump, it was "good morning

[johnwilliams]

Many thanks, found that the felt lining between the drum and door had knotted up in one spot and was causing the drum to bind and was very difficult to turn by hand, removed the knot, which freed up the drum, its back working

Hi my bush td3cnbw will not spin it only works when I push it by hand I can't find a capacitor on it any ideas what's wrong with it thanks

[MathCuriousity]

Hey two questions:

1)
To discharge the capacitor, what parts of the capacitor do we actually touch to each end of the pliers?
2)
My dryer has a slightly different issue: without any clothing I press start and it will work fine. If I put even a couple articles of clothing in, it wont start. Makes a noise maybe will seem to begin spinning for a fraction of a second and then abruptly stops. Any ideas?

Had two plastic blocks fall off door where to they go !

Don't try this at home? That's the whole point! We want to fix it ourselves.
