Bens Appliances and Junk

My name is Ben. I run a used appliance store in Central Ohio. When I started learning about appliances, I had no mentors to help me because everyone in the area basically had retired. I learned everything I could from KZread, and found out a few things were missing, so I decided to start a channel to share some things I've learn to help others fix their appliances!

    My code is F5 E1 but I don't know what part number I need. I have this exact washer but can't find the model number. Could you tell me what I need?

    I noticed the the male spade connector (the one attached to the heating element) is also damaged (actually had pieces of it flake off when removing the melted wire) in addition to the female end on the purple wire. Is this part available separately or will I need the entire heating element assembly?

    Great video! This is exactly what is wrong with my machine. 😬I was gifted this exact machine when I mentioned to a family member that I was going to buy a new machine 🙄😩 thankful & appreciative but this is THE WORST washing machine I have EVER had. I hated it from the 1st use

    I installed a new thermal fuse, plugged it in, and without turning the dryer on, turned the timer counterclockwise. This caused the fuse to blow with visible sparks. Do I need to order a new thermostat or a new timer? Any help is appreciated!

    Great vid! I have a question. For a top freezer fridge in 2nd home that I keep unheated when away, the temps get down to the mid 40s once in while inside the house. I'm my old fridge from the 90s is just now needing to be replaced. Do I really need a garage ready model? Are garage ready fridges with separate temp regulation for the fridge and freezer more likely to have a failure due to being more complex?

    But I like having one load drying while another load is washing. I can't do that with an all in one. Plus, I dry clothes 5 minutes, then hang to dry. The only things I dry fully are towels, sheets, and socks and underwear.

    I believe that the majority of the lint is passing through the top, bottom, and rear sides of the filter, not through those gaps in the plastic that youve sealed. The area you sealed comes after the 1st stage mesh filter, so there wouldnt be any large strands coming through there and it wouldnt be the source of the large lint buildups. 5:01 shows that lint is still coming through at the bottom after your solution. I dont think its a minor amount. When you insert the filter into the machine but dont push it all the way in, you would be able to jiggle the filter up and down. This indicates that there are air gaps along the top and bottom slots. My solution is to use foam window seals that have sticker backing. I stick ~1/4 inch thick foam along the filter ridges, and that fixed the problem for me. I'll make a video of this soon.

    Your videos have been amazing for my wife and I making a decision on an all in one washer and dryer, we went with the Samsung with 4 year extended warranty. We will take delivery of it Thursday, we live in a tiny house so this is perfect for us. We are coming from a whirlpool center stack at 1.6 cu ft washer so very excited for the much bigger washer!

    I brought the lg one! Because of the filter system. Much easier to clean and to gain access to the heating coil. I feel like the lg system will last longer, compared to the other two. Ive never have any drying issues with lg, tuss far.

    I did the reset thinking that was the reason the lid would not latch. Did not work to cause the latch to work but all of the other things happened - the lights flashed and the machine ran. I figured there was an issue with the latch itself. So I unscrewed the latch from the lid and placed it into the latch mechanism. It latched and it appears it has to do with how the latch enters the latch mechanism. For now it works.

    This video was good for me and I replaced the suspension. However it didn't fix the super excessive shaking. It shakes so bad the plastic ring/splash guard between the inner and outer tubs hits the sides of the cabinet violently on high spin (using the manual diagnostic mode). So I checked that the unit is level and replaced the suspension but still have the problem. Could it be the block? Or maybe the spanner nut? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Sooooo I had this at my house and ended up bringing it back before I even unboxed it. Washer crapped out yesterday. Horrible grinding when agitating. 8 year old Samsung. Messed with it for a little while and decided to just get it over and buy a new one. As I’m lifting the old one up get it out, about 50 3” ball pit balls start rolling out. Apparently my wife decided to wash our daughter’s ball pit balls in the washer and they made their way around the drum. Took all the damn balls out and the washer is perfectly fine. I was going to just keep the LG and sell the washer and dryer i have but the wife convinced me otherwise. I made her bring the damn thing back. Anyways. I needed to tell someone my headache this morning. Was excited to give this a try. Maybe next time.

    Dude, I just got back from Lowe's, pricing a new dryer, and I would swear on a stack of textbooks that the Amana, Maytag, and Whirlpool models I saw were all made in the same plant. They all had the exact same door, hinge, latch, filter... Just different consoles and badges. One cookie-cutter Maytag had a ten year warranty though. Hmmmm....

  • @bensappliancesandjunk
    @bensappliancesandjunk23 сағат бұрын

    They are all the same. Just different badges on the basic models. There are differences on some other models but usually the dryers with lint traps on top are the same and it's the same legacy unit from 1965

    Is the gearcase shaft supposed to remain stationary while installing the locknut? Mine spins so I can't tighten the locknut and there is still play between the tub and basket wall. Brand new gearcase too.
