Re: Sign here if you repaired something today
I repaired my car's dent on her bumper. I just used compressed air and a hair dryer. I thought it'd pop right back up, but when it didn't, I just pushed it from underneath.How'd I get so white and nerdy?

Re: Sign here if you repaired something today
The dryer portion of my aging stack washer/dryer has been making this horrible squeaking sound lately and I figured it was probably the drive belt beginning to fail (becoming overstretched). The dryer finally stopped spinning.
So I bought a replacement belt from Appliance Parts Hawaii ($24) and proceeded to replace the belt last night.
The hardest part was accessing the back panel of the unit while trying to work within the tight quarters the stack washer fits in my bathroom. Major pain in the okole!
I couldn't find installation instructions for the exact same washer/dryer model as mine online, so resorted to other stack washer/dryer instructions as a basic reference. I was afraid I'd run the belt's serpentine track around the motor and tension pulley the wrong way, but after inspecting the mechanism closely, figured it out. Quite simple design these dryers have.
In order to get the drive belt around the main drive pulley on the motors output shaft, you have to remove the motor mount bolts so you can pull the motor and blower fan out just enough so that it's out of the housing in order to slip the belt around the end.
The next challenge was stretching the belt to fit around the large dryer drum as it's rested on the roller guides within the dryer unit. Then you have to get the belt aligned properly on the drum while making sure there aren't any twists in the belt. Easier said than done, but after about 15 minutes of working it around the drum and tension pulley, the belt finally was in place.
Put it all back to together, plugged the stack washer/dryer back in and voila, tested everything, and it worked! My diagnosis was correct. Repair was a success! Did two loads of laundry last night after fixing it and it works like a charm.
Not bad for just $24 in parts (the belt), and about 1 hour of blood, sweat and tears.Last edited by Pomai; August 26, 2009, 11:11 AM.sigpic The Tasty Island

I'm looking at a shattered halogen light bulb cover that fell to the floor missing my head by a coupla inches. Not gonna attempt to glue it back together. I'm finding bits of glass all over the place! *sigh* Sooo...I'm not signing this thread!
