  • thank you for helping me. exact everything !  and it happened to be broken coupler, one of the white ones! now where do I find the part ? ha ha !

  • @iztheterrible there's a phone number on the video to order the part,

  • @iztheterrible  there's a phone number on the video to order the part.

  • This was a great explanation! Thank you so much! I was able to replace the coupler without problems. The only thing left out was that as soon as you disconnect the tubes, expect a fair amount of water to come out(I should have known that though).

  • @mbrandon9

    Yes, there's sometimes water that comes out, sorry about that. we do address that issue in the final edit of this video.

    Thanks!

  • Great video, but I don't think it's necessary to remove the hoses from the pump, you can just move it to the side with hoses attached to get access to the motor, or at least that's how I did it.

  • Thanks so much Mike!  Fixed mine in under 30 minutes! Saved me a big repair bill, waiting days to get it repaired or the bigger expense of replacing it and the bigger bother of carrying the new one in and the old one out. Some money for a case of beer is on its way! Thanks!!

  • Awesome Man! My wife thinks im a genius!

  • You make us look like heros out here! Thank you! 

  • Thank you sooooo much. Spent $20 on the coupler & less than 1 hour installing it. The wife is happy once again.

  • Spot On! Your video just saved me from what I'm sure would be an expensive repair bill. It's amazing that my Kitchen Aid washer's interior is identical to the washer in your video. The hardest part was getting those darn clamps back on the motor. I don't have a paypal account but if you're ever in Kansas City, I'll buy you several rounds of beer. Thanks!

  • This video is one of the best! It helped me figure out what was wrong with my washer.
