That Fucking Washer!


I've been without a washer for over three weeks now. As I'm sure you all remember, mine went batshit and decided too much water wasn't enough, flooding my laundry room. Troubleshooting said the water pressure / level sensor was likely bad, so I ordered a new one. Not only did that not fix the issue, my washer started exhibiting new psychotic tendencies.

So, I said fuck it and ordered a whole new motherboard. A national retailer's website said they had it in stock, but a week later, it still hadn't shipped. Long story short, the CSR informed me it was in stock, just not at their warehouse. Okay, thanks Sparky; cancel my order.

So, I tried another online retailer, also showing it in stock. Success! I had a tracking number by the end of the day (this was last Tuesday) and it was expected to arrive in two days. Well, two days became never, because FedEx seems to have lost the shipment. So, I ordered yet another motherboard. This one arrived today. Hooray!!!

Installed that fucker and was ready for some serious laundry<b> group </font></b>groping. Ran a test cycle to make sure everything was kosher and because I'm writing about it, you know the outcome wasn't positive. This fucker is still overfilling!

I took a dinner break, but am heading back upstairs to curse, throw things, and be generally pissed off.

Update - No way I was letting a fucking appliance beat me. A bit of additional fiddling and it fell into line. It passed a diagnostic cycle and is currently running a light load of real laundry. Now, all I have to do is find out where the fuck the other motherboard I paid for is.

I will not allow a washing machine to defeat me!

I just repaired mine today as well. Those stupid cogs in the agitator fail and the damn thing just freewheels.

$8.00 part, and I'm back in business!

$8 would have been nice. Not including the motherboard I paid for, but haven't received, I'm out $225. The embarrassing part is I don't think anything went bad...it may have been a mechanical issue I fixed in a last ditch effort to get the thing running. But damn, I know washing machines now!

Ah yes Mel Gibson conquers Kenmore . . . FREEDOM ! ! !

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

One of the few household chores I actually enjoy doing is laundry.... Congrats on fixing your washer!

Much as I hated dealing with it, there's a bit of satisfaction derived from not having to call a repair person.

Stamina, tenacity or obstinance......whichever McMid, I am in awe of the determination which goes with it!

You might be able to start up your own online parts service if all these things arrive at once mind!

Hope you're well otherwise sir!
