Cool Halloween custom!

2005 Sears Kenmore Dryer made by Whirlpool(model#11066662500): Timer not moving in any cycle. I ohmed out the timer motor, it showed no continuity, Timer is bad. To change the timer, the front 2 console clips underneath each side push-in and lift, A putty-knife is the best tool to do this with.

1996 GE Dryer(model#DJSR473ET1W): Making a loud squealing sound when it starts that lasts about 20 minutes. Found the rear bearing has gone out. You have to take the dryer apart to change it, its a little time consuming, but worth it.

2003 Sears Kenmore Washer made by Whirlpool(model#11024832200): Not spinning at all, I found the motor coupler, Part#285753, broken that connects it to the gearcase(transmission). This is the most common part to go out in the direct drive washers. (Always make sure you can turn the gearcase shaft both ways, use a wrench in needed, If it won’t turn, then the gearcase is locked-up and will need to be replaced as well.)
Drive motor to transmission coupling, replaces all previous styles and versions. For direct-drive washers with no belt.
