Washing machine stainless steel fill hoses
Posted by: | CommentsWhen I go out on service calls for preventive maintance checks on washers and I noticed the rubber fills hoses that connect to the washer would get bubbles in them, some small, some large. After time those will burst and start flooding your laundry area and if your laundry room is in your house that can be quite the mess and cause massive floor damage to say the least.
So I recommend you check your washing machine fill hoses every year, and replace them if you notice bubbles. Stainless steel fill hoses are the best to get as they won’t get those bubbles in them.

Sears Kenmore Washer
Posted by: | Comments1997 Sears Kenmore washer (model#110.26912691): Not agitating or spinning, but you can hear the motor running. Took the cabinet off, then removed the water pump and motor, then I saw the motor coupling broken, and lots of oil coming from the gearcase. I showed the customer the oil leak and they said, we have had good use from it, and its time for another new Sears Kenmore. I agreed.
Here’s the motor coupling for this model, in case others without an oil leak what to order and change it.
