My successful do-it-yourself project

Just fixed my washing machine, which would not drain. Replaced the pump. Got the how to on line, ordered the part...and it works!

I did the same a couple weeks back. My washer stopped spinning, the little switchy thing broke. You know the one right under the lid, you can stick your little finger down in the hole and get the washer spinning with the lid open? Yeah well i popped off the top of the washer and instead of buying a new switch (40bucks) i just twisted the two wires together with wire nuts and black tape. Works just fine, the only thing that switch does is keep the thing from spinning with the lid open. Its a safety thing so kids don't get killed in a running washer, but my kid is old enuff to know better.....hopefully.

soooo you 2 can save 40bucks if you don't mind your washer spinning with the lid open.

i'm cheap

Congrats LP. You'd better be careful being Ms. Fix-it cause it's addicting! I fix all kinds of broken things around the house, I love it. I have my own power tools!

We had that problem with our washer about 5 years ago & it cost somewhere around $300 to fix by a pro.

Way to go, girl! So many women are afraid to try doing things for themselves when they're perfectly capable of doing them.

Wow....I knew I saved money. Paid $24 for a month of unlimited questions for all kinds of experts. Paid $39 including shipping for the part.

Going to try to get my money's worth out of that $24 before the month is up!
