Need new washer fluid resevoir, but where, what kind?
I own a 1992 Toyota Camry. My window washer fluid resevoir has corroded in a few spots and now leaks whatever washer fluid I put in. Is the best place to order/get a replacement at a Toyota dealership? Can I just patch the leak up?Need new washer fluid resevoir, but where, what kind?
Toyota dealership you can get a new one cause at a salvage yard they will be old like the one you have not any goodNeed new washer fluid resevoir, but where, what kind?
can 't patch the leak unless the leak is something like a o ring. go to an auto zone and buy a new one or go to a junk yard.

My kenmore washer wobbles badin the spin mode?
There seems to be something missing on the top of the tub. you can swing it all over the place. there ought to be a stabilizer attached at the top of the tub.My kenmore washer wobbles badin the spin mode?
If it happens all the time I agree with Gene. If it only happens occasionally, you might be overloading.My kenmore washer wobbles badin the spin mode?
Hi, being able to move the top of the tub is ok, but if it moves easier in one direction then it does in the other, you may have a broken tub spring. Other wise be sure that your washer is level, and your loads are balanced.
Have a good night
Make sure you distribute the clothes as even as possible and check the legs under the washer. Most will screw in %26amp; out to get the unit level.

My clothes washer was in storage for a year...?
and the clothes are not smelling clean after I wash them. They smell very musty and mildewy. What can I do to wash out the smell? I've run a hot load of bleach and detergent, and it didn't work. It's only 2 years old! Can it be saved?
BTW - I've been doing laundry every day for a month, and it's not getting better.My clothes washer was in storage for a year...?
Buy new water hoses and replace the old. also most washers have a lint filter if you can find where it is it probably has some of the old lint in it, remove it, and run a empty load again. Good luck! all else fails call your repair man.My clothes washer was in storage for a year...?
Every washer has places where they trap water, One place is on top of the tub in that plastic ring thats fastened there, also some machines hold some water in the pump. The only thing that might work is to lay it on it,s back for a few days and maybe it will drain out.
The odor is probably coming from the rubber gasket in the washer. Add some Pine Sol or an ammonia based cleaner, like Mr. Clean or Top Job, to a clean damp cloth, then clean the gasket well. Then wipe out the inside of the washer with the same cleaners.
You need to run your washer using a cleanser only - no clothes. Run it first using hot water and Arm%26amp;Hammer baking soda. Then run it a second time using plenty of white vinegar. You may want to put the cleansers in the rinse cycle as well as the wash. These two cleaners SHOULD get rid of the odor.
try spraying it w/ febreeze %26amp; let it sit for awhile
Maybe it is the hoses? Try replacing them.
Try baking soda
You're on the right track; chlorine bleach is the right chemical to kill mold and mildew. You're probably just not using enough for long enough. Start the cycle with the lowest level of the hottest water you can. Pour in an entire bottle of chlorine bleach. (A small bottle should do; a gallon would probably be overkill.) Turn the machine off for an hour and let the bleach mixture sit. Then resume the cycle so it rinses out. Follow with a water-only rinse.

When is th best time to buy a washer and where?
Year around, washer and dryers are pricey! But a lot of the department stores have sales here and there. The main thing is just to keep your eyes peeled. I would try Sears first. They are always having sales on their washer and dryers.
The link is to Sears washer and dryer selection, and as you can see, they are on sale!When is th best time to buy a washer and where?
When you can afford it-Try Best Buy although very spendyWhen is th best time to buy a washer and where?
Check all your local home improvement stores weekly for sales AND pay special attention to ';scratch and dent'; sales... a scratch or dent in your washer plays no factor in its preformance... it does however give you great savings $$$$. I know far too many people who refuse to buy a scratched or dented machine simply because they think it is ';beneath them'; to own one... well I say ';nanny nanny'; and sock the extra cash I saved in to my investments and pass them people up even more financially!!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah life is good ! : ) Happy shopping !
When there's a sale.
The best time to buy a washer is when you need it. Washers
aren't like cars where a certain time of year is best to buy.
Most stores have sale adds quite often. I like whirlpool appliances.
I would just call several stores and ask for prices.
A Sears outlet (who cares if the sides have scratches)-- end of July.
i'm not relli sure bout when
but you could buy it @ sears
The best time is around August or September- RIGHT NOW! No holidays, which can jack prices up. Also, when ever gas prices go down, so do prices of everything. I'd go to either Sears or even the Salvation Army if you need one cheap. Ask to see it turned on-- so you know it works. Open a credit card acct. wherever you buy your washer the day you buy it- 10-15% discount. Good luck! And, look in the news paper!
CERTAINLY BEFORE THE NEXT WASH DAY!!!---SHOP AROUND FOR THE BEST PRICE DEALS!!!
any time appliances are not seasonal so they are always available...i would watch your local paper for ads it usually comes down between best buy, home depot and lowes..i would lean toward best buy as i found their service and installation is a little better.

A window washer is standing on a scaffold supported by a vertical rope at each end. The scaffold weighs 210 N?
A window washer is standing on a scaffold supported by a vertical rope at each end. The scaffold weighs 210 N and is 3.30 m long. What is the tension in each rope when the 690 N worker stands 2.30 m from one end?
______ N (smaller tension)
______ N (larger tension)A window washer is standing on a scaffold supported by a vertical rope at each end. The scaffold weighs 210 N?
assuming the scaffold is uniform weight, take moments around 1 end to get the tension in the rope of the other
the 鈭慚 = 0, take the rope tension direction as positive
690 x 2.3 + 210 x (3.3 / 2) = T1 x 3.3
T1 = 586N
Now moments around the other end
690 x (3.3-2.3) + 210 x (3.3/2) = T2 x 3.3
T2 = 314N
You can check your answers as 鈭慒 = 0, so
586 + 314 - 210 - 690 = 0

My washer seems to get stuck in the rinse cycle. What is the normal amount of time it should take to rinse?
20 minMy washer seems to get stuck in the rinse cycle. What is the normal amount of time it should take to rinse?
there is not a '; normal '; time for a rinse cycle... it all depends on how long it takes to fill with cold water.
if you have a problem cold water pressure going to the washer that could extend the cycle by several minutes.
once the washer has filled completely with water, then it should take about 7-10 minutes of agitation.
check the cold water fill in the first part of your cycle. see if it has good water flow on cold versus hot. if it looks like a big difference, then check to see if crud is blocking the screen of the water inlet valve. its inside the plastic valve where the cold hose hooks onto the washer

I have a whirpool stacked washer/dryer. Water is coming out from under the washer. All lines are tight! Help!
Our washing machine did this. Water was dripping over the basin and into the bottom and onto the floor. Another time it was because it wouldnt stop filling and not completely draning on the rinse cycle. Call someone to take a look at it. Like a plumber.I have a whirpool stacked washer/dryer. Water is coming out from under the washer. All lines are tight! Help!
That really sucks, I used to have a whirlpool Duet, look on the back if you can, and then there should be a matinece phone number, put down towels for now!I have a whirpool stacked washer/dryer. Water is coming out from under the washer. All lines are tight! Help!
If the lines are tight and not leaking, then the leak is at the water pump or the drum.
I'd revisit the lines to make sure they aren't leaking or cracked. The other items are expensive.
Sounds like the pump seals have worn out
In addition to the other answers, just for fun, look at the drain hose where it is inserted into the drain pipe. Check it when the tank is on the empty cycle to see is the water is coming from there. Otherwise, it has got to be coming from one of the other places already mentioned. Good luck.

Best washer?
I want to purchase a new washer. Right now I've a whirlpool %26amp; even in rented apts I've used Whirlpool. Is that the the best one or are GE/Maytag comparable. My budget is around $400. I do have a fancy for front-loading machines as I think they are better for the comforters %26amp; other delicate stuff. I checked with a sales rep at Lowe's %26amp; he says that front-loading is better than top-loading as its much efficient in water usage %26amp; spinning out excess water so that the drying time will be less. Also he suggests a stainless steel tub to a porcelain tub. Can somebody confirm if these suggestions are correct based on personal experience ? Getting a front-loading for $400 is impossible but I'm planning to check at Sears outlet where they sell dented appliances at discounted rates.Best washer?
I just had to purchase a washer/dryer for my mom. Unfortunately, in order to get a better than mediocre washer, you must pay...a lot. We went with the whirlpool cabrio HE washer, just under one thousand bucks. The dryer was less expensive at seven hundred and fifty bucks. The capacity of the Cabrio is huge, though. You can throw an entire king sized comforter in it. I know that lots of folks believe front loading is better, but I have seen clothing damaged from the rubber gasket on the door and I'd rather not hassle with it. Good idea to check for the dented appliances...you might be able to talk them down to a reasonable price, but four hundred isn't going to get you too far. Good luck...Best washer?
Well, I,ll tell you from experience. I worked with used applianced for 2 years and the Whirlpool top loader is as good as you will find. Those front loaders are nice while they work but if it goes bad, it will be cheaper to buy a new one than try to fix it.
I like my front loading Frigidaire. I bought it at Lowes too. It had some scratches on top so I got a killer deal. Then I stacked my dryer on top....and now you can't even see the scratches.
I'm not exactly sure which model I have, but looking at their site I think it's the ATF7000FS. Their price says $999. I got mine for maybe $450.
It has a stainless steel tub. I don't know if it is better than porcelain, but it looks nice.
The front loader does great spinning out the water, and it is amazing how little water it uses to wash your clothes. Make sure you use He detergent if you buy one.

Is it cheaper to wash your dishes by hand or by a dish washer?
thank you!Is it cheaper to wash your dishes by hand or by a dish washer?
There was a segment on the ';green channel'; that tested this theory out. Hands down a dishwasher was better than handwashing... However, only if it's fully loaded, and the dry cycle was OFF. I have a family of four so we run our dishwasher every other day or so. I only run it when it's full.
I also only run it at night on time delay and air dry... I've also turned my hot water heater down to 120 degrees which is still hotter water than I could do my dishes my hand. It also saves me time/energy and also from having dish pan hands! It also uses LESS detergent/water than handwashing.
PLUS depending on how you handwash you dishes may NOT be clean... A two basin approach is preferred as you can wash/rinse the dishes.... Using HOT soapy water and rinsing in clean cool water...
You also save more water by NOT prewashing dishes... Most newer dishwashers don't need to have dishes prewashed and detergents are better than in the past...
So, I think it's better to just use the dishwasher. We also have a rule of using ONE glass for the day. That helps keep the dish pile down...
Is it cheaper to wash your dishes by hand or by a dish washer?
Dishwasher providing you aren't ';washing'; them ahead and you fill up the machine in a day or so.
For us two, I still believe hand washing is best as we have so few dishes it would take a week to make a load. The thought of dishes sitting around that long is disgusting. So to compensate I try hard to limit the water I use when washing: use a dish pan so as not to fill the sink, assemble a bunch before rinsing.
By hand, most definitely. The water you use for hand-washing vs. machine washing is the same (they recycle for 1 use). But the energy (electricity) dishwasher uses is incredible.
Wash by hand if you want to save money on bills.
Old question...lots of answers...

my guess is dishwasher, when hand-washing your constantly running water and its a waste, plus a dishwasher can hold MANY dishes
by hand because you don't use all that water!!!! just turn the water off when your not using it!!!!
you will save some money if dont use the dry cycle, just let them air dry. google'; how much to run household appliances';

Whirlpool washer the timer knob doesn't move.?
I have a 5 to 7 year old whirlpool washer. When I pull out the handle and move to rinse or spin it will do whatever it is supposed to be doing at that part of the cycle, but it keeps going. In other words I had a 2 hour spin cycle last night. It seems that everything works, but maybe the timer isn't working. I don't hear the tick tick tick that I would normally hear from the timer. does this sound like the problem and if so is it an easy fix?Whirlpool washer the timer knob doesn't move.?
Its an easy fix but not quite as T-Ray suggests. The timer escapement has failed and so you need a new (or rebuilt) timer assembly. The console lifts from the front to access the timer. There are two screws, one on either side of the console at the bottom front that need to be removed. This will allow the console to lift. Unscrew the timer knob counterclockwise, and pull off the timer dial. There are two screws that secure the timer to the console. Remove the screws. The timer has either one or two wiring harnesses which are removed by squeezing the ends of the plug inward and pulling the plug(s) off. There may be a ground wire to be removed as well. Timers can be purchased through most appliance parts stores (not Home Depot or Lowes). Phone and give them the Model number of your machine for an exact replacement. The serial/model plate should be located at the rear of the opening into the machine under the lid. Reverse the instructions for replacement. I hope this helps....Whirlpool washer the timer knob doesn't move.?
Its gone, get yourself a washmachine repairman out.. they are not that much really. However that part is awful. I think probably the most expensive thing on a washer. The repairman I had told me what caused it and I haven't had to replace one since. Here's what happens... if you pull out the knob to engage the washing cycle, then you need to have it in when you are selecting a cycle. When you pulll it and and also turn it, it is very hard on the gears.. After enough times, it dies.. goes bonkers and one of your most important electrical units is useless. Good luck...
sounds like you have a gear that might be loosing some teeth, or the timer itself inside the washer might be bad. No real way to test unless you want to disassemble your washer.
replace entire switch .
It sounds to me like the timer motor has either quit working or as someone else said, the gears have lost some teeth. Either way you need to replace the timer assembly. It is not really a difficult job. If you get your make and model number off the machine you can order a new timer on line or at a local appliance parts store.
Once you have the new timer, unplug the machine and remove the back cover from the control section of the machine. You will see the timer and it will have a lot of wires attached to it. Take your time and draw a diagram of the timer and indicate the wire color (don't forget the strip color, i.e. yellow w/ black strip) for each connection on the timer. Then remove the knob from the old timer (there may be a set screw holding it on) and then unscrew the mounting screws (usually under the knob). Now that the timer is loose from the panel, remove each wire in turn from the old timer and attach to the corresponding terminal on the new timer (the diagram is there incase there is not enough room to use this one wire at a time method). Once all the wires are moved to the new timer, attach it to the panel, reinstall the knob, reinstall the panel cover, and test it out.

Its gone, get yourself a washmachine repairman out.. they are not that much really. However that part is awful. I think probably the most expensive thing on a washer. The repairman I had told me what caused it and I haven't had to replace one since. Here's what happens... if you pull out the knob to engage the washing cycle, then you need to have it in when you are selecting a cycle. When you pulll it and and also turn it, it is very hard on the gears.. After enough times, it dies.. goes bonkers and one of your most important electrical units is useless. Good luck...
sounds like you have a gear that might be loosing some teeth, or the timer itself inside the washer might be bad. No real way to test unless you want to disassemble your washer.
replace entire switch .
It sounds to me like the timer motor has either quit working or as someone else said, the gears have lost some teeth. Either way you need to replace the timer assembly. It is not really a difficult job. If you get your make and model number off the machine you can order a new timer on line or at a local appliance parts store.
Once you have the new timer, unplug the machine and remove the back cover from the control section of the machine. You will see the timer and it will have a lot of wires attached to it. Take your time and draw a diagram of the timer and indicate the wire color (don't forget the strip color, i.e. yellow w/ black strip) for each connection on the timer. Then remove the knob from the old timer (there may be a set screw holding it on) and then unscrew the mounting screws (usually under the knob). Now that the timer is loose from the panel, remove each wire in turn from the old timer and attach to the corresponding terminal on the new timer (the diagram is there incase there is not enough room to use this one wire at a time method). Once all the wires are moved to the new timer, attach it to the panel, reinstall the knob, reinstall the panel cover, and test it out.
Will adding more fabric softener to my washer make my clothes softer?
Yes it will. I usually put half a capful but for blankets and sheets I use a full cap and it does make it softer. I never heard of clothes fading with more but maybe they used cheap softener. I use Snuggle and I have never had a problem!Will adding more fabric softener to my washer make my clothes softer?
No.Will adding more fabric softener to my washer make my clothes softer?
you should only put in what you are supposed to because it will fade the color and some brands stain the clothes
yes
No, put a half cup of white vinegar in the rinse cycle, it will help keep your clothes smelling nice and fresh, and will remove all the soap left in the clothes..
use some borax ...it's much cheaper. add it along with your soap. it softens the water %26amp; boosts the cleaning power of the soap. then just use the regular amount of softener
I use fabric softner sheets about 3 of them and that works

Does anyone have a Hotpoint WD51 1100 Washer Dryer?
Im trying to replace the door hatch and someone wrote the colors down wrong for the Yellow/Red Black and Green/Brown wires. I don't know what is which? Does anyone know which is ground? Live? or C?Does anyone have a Hotpoint WD51 1100 Washer Dryer?
I'm not sure what you are talking about when you say ';door hatch'; are you talking about the door interlock ? in which case you should only have 3 wires and they are mounted in a block !!! Don't take a chance on it, as if you get it wrong you will do more expensive damage, best thing to do is get in touch with Hotpoint technical dept, but make sure you know what components you are talking about, as they will be just as confused as i amDoes anyone have a Hotpoint WD51 1100 Washer Dryer?
at a guess yel and red will b live....black is negative and green n brown will b ground...don't quote me on that tho !!
Call the repairman at repair clinic he might be able to help you out its free.They also have diagrams of washers,dryers,etc.And troubleshooting pages.

What are the reviews for Webroot window washer program 6.5?
Does anyone have any info on this program? I have Webroots Spysweeper with anti virus and it works great and just heard about this window washer program and was thinking of purchasing it to install on my p.c.What are the reviews for Webroot window washer program 6.5?
Editor's review of Webroot Window Washer 6.5
Window Washer cleans all 4 out of 5 stars
This program offers a fast and simple way to protect your privacy by erasing Web browsing and application history. Upon launch, the program automatically scans your PC for supported applications, including such commonplace ones as Adobe Acrobat and RealPlayer.
Clicking the Wash Now button literally leaves your browser's cache, cookies, the history, and the temporary files list as clear as the day Windows was first installed. If you want more control, you can specify exactly what components to clean via the Wash Setup icon. Webroot Window Washer doesn't display detailed information about specific files, but it does give you a list of basic statistics. You can protect the program with a password and schedule cleaning sessions at regular intervals.
The ability to wipe free disk space according to secure algorithms is a bonus, but it would be nice if the program also could shred files and folders. In the final analysis, Webroot Window Washer has very few flaws, making it a fine pick for anyone concerned with privacy issues.

STAY AWAY IF YOU HAVE VISTA !!!!!!!!!!!

Pros: None
Cons: If you have Vista get ready to re-install your OS. It WILL WIPE IT OUT. This is one of the worst products I have ever come accross. DON'T USE IT!
NOT GOOD!

Cons: You can tell when the company likes to do their own reviews by the positive one's on this board. In truth, this product is NOT doing all it claims, there are other free program out there, that are just as good if not better, ***** Cleaner for one and Advanced Disk cleaner for another. Webroot get your act together.
6.5 Does work properly
by: lmm314 on 11-Oct-2007 12:47:17 PM
Pros: Im very disappointed so I have no Pros. And for those who reviewed this as ';Perfect'; obviously are not aware that its not cleaning what you think it is.
Cons: Like one reviewer said...I checked to see if it was cleaning my temp files because I also use Advanced Uninstaller Pro to clean up programs tracks that Window Washer doesnt. I noticed everytime I ran Adv. Unistaller after using WW and restarting computer, it always had a huge list of temp files to clean. I tested the program out as far as some of it's cleaning processes and it's not cleaning what its suppose to. 6.0 does though. Basically I just bought a lemon upgrade. Support also sucks because you can email them but they either wait a week or two to get back to you or just don't answer. I used to love WW and have been a big fan up until the past two years.
I've also paid a yearly subscription since it came out, so I could always have the newest version. Last year I payed again and they didn't update it once...then when my subscription was up this year, they sent a notice that a new version was and I needed to pay again.
Webroot...you need to get your act together. And lastly, quit sending me emails that my subscription has expired when I just payed a couple months ago!!!

The seals are wearing out in the pump. I often rebuild this sort of thing. Besides saving the cost of a new washer, you'll be helping the environment. Our throw-away society is dumping millions of pounds of stuff in landfills that could be fixed and used for countless more years.
First thing you need to do is seperate the engine from the pump. There should be (on most motors) four nuts and bolts that run through the engine, frame and pump. Take them out. Sometimes you have to wiggle and pull to seperate everthing. Now turn the pump over. Don't take the plate off that is closest to the engine. It won't hurt anything, but you'll just lose the gear oil out of it. Take the bottom plate off. Just remove the four or six bolts from the bottom and pull the two halves apart. One removed, you'll see (depending on the model) anywhere between two and five approximately quarter size rubber washers. Also you'll see from two to six smaller rubber O-rings. Take all these with you down to Sears or a local small engine repair shop and get or order replacement parts.
Now to put it back together. First you'll need to remove all the scale and deposits on both sections of the pump. You can do this with some kind of chemical cleaner, or I just make with some light use of a wire brush nd water to rinse. It's also a good idea to back-flush everything while you've got it apart. Put the new seals and O-ring back in the same places you took the old ones out. Carefully, being sure not to knock any of your new seals out of place, put the two halves back together and tighten the bolts down securely.
To put everything back together with the frame and engine, place the engine on the frame and run two bolt down through the frame to hold it back in place. Now, preferrably with a helper holding the engine in place so it doesn't want to fall off the frame, tilt the frame back. Stip the pump up on the engine shaft, lining up the keyway. Then turn it to line up all four bolt in the same position as it was originally. Install bolts and nuts and tighten securely.
Good luck. If it's your first time rebuilding a pump, its really not hard at all. Just take your time and remember how everything was while disassembling. Be patient and its a snap. I've rebuilt these things in the past for less the ten bucks. That's a whole lot cheaper than a new pressure washer.I have a gas powered pressure washer for some reason its coming out with any pressure right now what can it be
Your system is losing pressure somewhere (obviously). If the engine is running fine, I would begin by checking to see if the pump is turning as it should. If it is, then check to see if all connections are tight and such. How old is it? Could it still be under warranty?bacteria

I just purchased a whirlpool cabrio washer and gas dryer. how much soap should we use.?
I have the Whirlpool cabrio washer also.......top loader.
You have to use the HE (high efficiency) laundry soaps. They sell them everywhere.
Prices are the same as regular laundry soap............Just use a CAP FULL.
They say that if you use the regular laundry soap, that it is bad for the washer. Something about the synthetic in the soap can clog your washer
