Did a few minor repairs on a friend's 14-years-old HE3t pair over the weekend while visiting in DFW area. The set was given to him a few years ago so I don't know what's the previous repair history, if any. Washer (42nd week of 2002): water valve had started dripping into the tub, so changed that. Had some kind of funky/wrong drain hose that was 95% collapsed flat and pushed too far into the standpipe, changed that. Acceptably clean of mold/scum, bearings sound good, pump good, no evidence of spider trouble (without disassembly to view directly). Dryer (47th week of 2002): had been throwing a thermistor fault, so changed that. The door handle was cracked when he got it, so changed that and reversed the door swing. One drum roller was a bit gummy and chattering so cleaned it and lightly oiled all of them. The exhaust ducting was too long so shortened it. Good to go. |
