Washing Machine Repair 10 Minute Easy Fix DIY!
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
If your washing machine isn't spinning or washing properly watch this video before you try to buy a new one ($300 to $3000) or call a tech to look at it ($50 to $300).
You can fix it yourself in minutes using little to no tools and only spending as little as $9.00 on a new machine belt or $30 for a new drain pump module.
I have the popular top loader portable Haier HLP21N machine but the design is the same on all different brands and sizes whether the load topside or front load.

@@janicepedrick1976 This one is easy, it's because you don't have a 90 degree angle on the drain hose. The drain hose needs to go up at a 90 degree from the machine (there should have been a zip strip holding it up that way) then down to drain. If you leave the hose down at the floor level there's no seal to stop gravity from pulling the water out. Think of it like a trap under your sink. It needs that curve to seal the water from moving.

GREAT VIDEO, SIR! You make it so easy to do. Now I am going to get a belt and I will try to do it myself, just like you showed it in this FANTASTIC video. Thank you very much.
Thanks a million; one of the best video's on the internet 👏👍🏼 You're saving people a lot of 💰
This is an awesome video; I have saved it to my "Home Repairs" folder. I've also been inspired to open the back of my new washer again, and note what kind of belt it uses. I've only used my washer four times, but there's a carpet of what looks like tiny bits of shredded belt underneath it. I'll be buying a replacement belt now in case supply chain issues make that impossible in a future time when the present belt finally fails.
Thank You for your video!! I've had the small washer for 7+yrs & today had to replace rubber hose. I'm going to change the belt, thanks to your informative video & description of other issues. Thanks again for making this!!!
thank you so much for this. I did exactly as you directed and yay! It works perfectly.
Clear descriptions, great angles , wonder what else your channel has to offer. Awesome knowledge exchange
Nice DIY tutorial, man! Your video helped me tremendously to fix my friend's washer that wasn't draining out the water. I wish all DIY tutorials were similar to yours.

Hi. Did you swapped the draining pump or the belt or both?
Thank you for this video, super easy to follow, going to tackle this tomorrow, you just saved me a WHOLE lot of $$$$!!!
Thank you bro , you made me a very happy man , I bought this machine for my girlfriend 2 years ago , I bought it from a Colombian woman , kept telling girlfriend not to loaded up so much , so started to malfunction, so decided to watch repair vids , I found yours , it was a blessing for two reasons ……..I am so static , joyful , once I took the back plastic cover off to my surprise, I noticed I large ziplock plastic bag stashed inside with some sort of package wrapped on a cotton fabric , Lord behold !! After opening bag unwrapping whatever was in package we found $9 k dollars neatly wrapped in the dirty cotton cloth , so this was a very nice Christmas present , thank you , and thank Santa . Second we noticed the belt was kind of worn out . Gracias amigo , we are getting a new belt , and we will be donating part of this money to a shelter .
Thank you so much!! Bought this on marketplace used, seller didn't tell me it was broken, so you saved my purchase 😅😅 many thanks from a single mom!
Fantastic video! I got one of these from a neighbor and I love it. Just wanted to do a bit of maintenance on it and this video empowers me to do it. Thank you for encouraging us to repair instead of trashing these goods 🌎
Thank you for helping all of us . Bless you and yours
My husband is repairing our little Harry with the same symptoms. This is an excellent tutorial, thank you.
Wow thank u so much I'm a senior and on a fixed income .thank you so much.your a big help to me.
This video is clear, to the point and relatable. Thank you! I bought mine second hand and had to immediately put it outside. It was riddled with mold but I needed it badly and went through allot of trouble to get it. After washing it several times with vinegar it was almost completely mold free. I learned that I needed to put a cup of vinegar in it to prevent mold from growing back. In short, keep your machine opened, aired and use vinegar to prevent mold from growing.
I have just gotten one step closer to being the smartest man on Earth, Thanks
Thank you for your awesome video. I have a leak in the hose from the tub to the pump. Got some ideas from watching your video.
Thanks for the information, I do have the same exact washing machine, its been 4 years now going strong! Fingers crossed🤞🏼
Trying to find a diagram for the unit to get to the lid sensor. You are the only person show any repair work at all. Appreciate your video.
Nice video - Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for your help. Bless your heart.
Amazing tip with that socket wrench.
Thank you so much for making this video! The machine I bought at the start of the pandemic has just crapped out on me. I definitely don't have the money to buy a new washer or to pay for a repair technician. I have the confidence to make the repairs now :)
You're awesome. Thank you. Smart man. Thanks for sharing.
This was a great video! Have a belt on order. My washer didn't come with wheels. It's hard to believe that a PORTABLE machine doesn't have wheels! LoL I bought a little cart for portable washing machines because I couldn't get casters on it! I decided to go ahead and replace the drain hose while I have the machine tilted into the bathtub (thanks for that tip too!) Because it's old and yucky! LoL Thank you so much for the video!
Awesome video (albeit longer than necessary). The trick with the 13mm helped to put on the new belt. Thank you! 👍🏼

Great tutorial. I Needed a new draining hose and felt I could replace it myself. After taking the back off, my Haier washer,(smaller version), I saw that there was still some water left in the tub after washing a small load. This wasn't visible from looking inside the tub Didn't know how I would remedy this until i saw your video....the TUB...of course. I was thinking of buying plastic drop cloths, etc. hoping that that would be enough. Thank you for your view from the bottom of the machine. I now feel that I can complete this task myself. Thank you for your video.

Hey great DIY video. I have two questions - (1) Can an extremely worn out belt also cause leaks? My washing machine (exact same make and model as yours) is leaking with no visible leaks from the hoses or pipes. After watching your video I opened and checked my machine and the belt was extremely loose and completely shredded with pieces stuck to the sides like soot. (2) where did you buy the belt from? I am unable to find it. Thanks.

Good quality video and narration. 1st thing I noticed about your fan belt is...... not to replace the belt yet as it's not that worn, but tighten the pulley so the belt is tighter, retighten the pulley nut. So....how do I "fix" the water level sensor? Is the water level sensor in any way synched to the agitation cycle? My water wouldn't turn off automatically and the agitator isn't working. I'm guessing my water level sensor.
You are a life saver thanks

Hi Olaf, I have this same model washer and I'm having an issue where water is flowing into the machine and coming right out the drain hose. It's not properly filling up the wash tub. Any thoughts on what could cause that?
Hi, thanks for the video. I have a Magic Chef brand and hear a clicking sound when the washers changes direction clockwise and counter clock wise. This sound is very annoying and sounds like something is broken. Please let me know if you or some of your viewers know. Thank you in advance.
OMG! ThankYou so much!!!!
Thanks for the video! I have the same washer and everything seems to work perfectly fine besides the spin setting. The machine washes and drains but once the water all drains it beeps 10 times and does not spin leaving my clothes very damp. Is this something a new belt would fix or do I need to fix the lid? I read a few posts about Haier and lid malfunctions. :(

Could be the belt causing the drum to be unbalanced and blaming against other components or something stuck underneath. These top loading machines tend to be susceptible to small clothing items getting into the mechanics. Abbi flip it over and open the bottom cover and see. I’m curious myself. Thanks
I'm on my second Haier HLP21N and I love it! The first was refurbished but worked fine until it didn't. It took some trial and error to realize it was a cracked lid. If the lid does not register as closed, it will fill with water but never pulse. Bought a new lid but the pin that holds it in was impossible, impossible, impossible to put back together! Got another one, used, because this has been discontinued. I'm surprised you bought a new one in 2020. It worked almost as well and I was super careful with the lid. But the plastic is very prone to cracking, and that's what it did! Oh no, here we go again, but at least now I knew the issue was the lid, not 100 other things. I superglued the cracked piece back on. But putting the lid on seemed to be impossible again, until I got it just right and now my machine is back working ... except it has developed a leak on the bottom. I will check your other videos and if you haven't fixed a similar problem, I hope you will consider it! I just subscribed. Thanks for the video, even though it wasn't the problem I had, I may just replace the belt anyway. Listen, everyone, be careful with your lid and don't store stuff on it!
Thanks!
Mine just stopped spinning this week for the first time and I got it back in June of 2020. It also started sparking near the bottom when it would start spinning. I hope just replacing the belt will fix mine.

Hey Virgil. Replacing the belt should work if you go under the machine and find the belt that is there now to be loose and floppy. I'm not sure about the sparks. Lol. Could be clothing jammed up in something. Good luck and Becareful!

Hi. My machine is a Panda (looks very similar) and is overfilling. It just doesnt stop and water ended up coming out of the bottom of the machine. It still works (turns on, fills) so nothing electrical damaged, but I still need to figure out why it is overfilling. Any help or advice greatly appreciated.

OK so I have the same washer and it's only been working on the lowest cycle. When I try to do the full cycle, it starts to fill and simultaneously drains water and then it stops and beeps three times. I replaced the belt (awesome and easy instructions!) and it's still doing this - any idea why?

Hi there. My washer will spin but not agitate. From watching your videos, it looks like the shifter/actuator must be broken.

Hey Jesus. The cycle will stall when the belts are old and slack and spinning slow. We had that issue before fixing the belts. The pressure at the faucet means inlet the hose are old are hard. A new hose will be flexible and absorb some pressure at the faucet.
