Can anyone tell me simply how to replace the front bellows on a front loading clothes washer?

My washer is a Whirlpool Duet. Model number GHW9100LW





The bellows part number is: AP3128710Can anyone tell me simply how to replace the front bellows on a front loading clothes washer?
Due to difficulty involved, I would leave that job to a pro. You will also need a new boot clamp

Which brand offers good Washer and Dryer? KenmoreVs whirlpool Vs LG?

Im looking to buy my first washer and dryer set for my New home, Im interested in a front loading washer and dryer. Now that many brands offer these good efficient front loading


washer and dryer, Iam comfused of which brand to choose.





I saw LG TROMM, Whirlpool and Kenmoore Elite appliances. all are front loading ones. Iam not able to choose which one should I go with..Can someone help me?Iam willing to spend not more than $1500 for both..Which brand offers good Washer and Dryer? KenmoreVs whirlpool Vs LG?
Whirlpool makes Kenmore products, so if you buy a Kenmore (or Maytag) you are really buying a Whirlpool product.Which brand offers good Washer and Dryer? KenmoreVs whirlpool Vs LG?
I have a whirlpool front loader and love it
They are all equally good but the models of the former two - Kenmore and Whirlpool - may be somewhat traditional; whereas LG being relatively new may have some new ideas added to the making of their products!
Well so far I have had all the brands you mention, but the one I have had the most luck with is Whirlpool brand, they are know for the fewest most reliable appliances, so if you are in the market for a washer and dryer buy Whirlpool. Good Luck !

About my washer & dryer. I just bought a used washer & dryer; it was VERY cheap and works great.?

Lately, I've been noticing a mildew-like smell in the washer. I'm not sure if it's my water or something I did. (the water in the rest of the house smells fine.) I tried running bleach through an empty cycle and it didn't take the smell out I know you get what you pay for, but is their way I can fix this? Anyone have any ideas on what I could do?About my washer %26amp; dryer. I just bought a used washer %26amp; dryer; it was VERY cheap and works great.?
since its used check to make sure there isn't a left over wash cloth or other item that got stuck under the washer or that there is a small leak somewhere. also check the lint basket, some washers have them just like dryers do and make sure you check up under the rim above the washing barrel, sometimes lints and debris can get stuck up under there. it takes very little to get that mildewy smell. also try running either baking soda through it, 1 small box in the regular cycle, no clothes though, then make sure you run a rinse or oxyclean detergent. hope this helpsAbout my washer %26amp; dryer.

ok this is only a suggestion, fill washer with hot water only an half box to full box of cascade detergent an select longest cycle, then each time you do a Load of laundry add downy softener to rinse cycle. Really believe the washer is fine, but also believe your leaving cloths in washer too long after they've washed try an remove more promptly.
If you have a mildew smell in the washer there has to be a collection of water somewhere in the machine to make this smell. Do you have a guarantee? Even if you don't try asking the person you bought it from. Buying used appliances is always risky. Unless it is being sold because someone is moving and can't take the machine with them (and it is fairly new), don't buy it. I've never heard of anyone selling good appliances. They sell them when they pretty well worn out.
Run it on empty again, but use vinegar instead of bleach.

  • My Admiral washing machine keeps over flowing. Anyone else have this same problem with this same washer?

    The load size lever doesn't work all of the time. I tried to look on the web to see if these machines have been recalled for not working correctly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.My Admiral washing machine keeps over flowing. Anyone else have this same problem with this same washer?
    There is a water flow valve near the water inlet hose. Chances are it is stuck open allowing water to continue to run into your machine when its not supose to.Clean this valve and you will be good to go.This happened to me and my Admiral works fine .


    PS ck WWW.Repair Clinic.com for more help.My Admiral washing machine keeps over flowing. Anyone else have this same problem with this same washer?
    Well now: Is Admiral a Montgomery Ward product, if it is, isn't it kind of old? It could be the control switch. These are all usually put together in the same unit and it would have to be changed, it could be old and just worn.


    Other than this, you could call several used appliance places and see if they have an universal part or a part that would fit. Maybe they'd have an idea since they deal with older appliances all the time.
    LMAO...don't you know the Admiral always goes down with the ship?!

    How do you remove the Steering stem lock-nut and washer from 06 GSXR 600? I need to install handle bars.?

    You only need to loosen the pinch-bolt at the top on either side fork tube and the centre nut on yoke.No need to go near stem unless bearings are worn or done.How do you remove the Steering stem lock-nut and washer from 06 GSXR 600? I need to install handle bars.?
    use a steering stem socket...





    the proper tool comes on my bike's factory tool kit under the seat, you might be as lucky...





    and kyle, most modern sport bikes have clip on handle bars...for someone who's going into the MSF training, you don't know so much about sport bikes...How do you remove the Steering stem lock-nut and washer from 06 GSXR 600? I need to install handle bars.?
    The top nut and washer do not have to be removed to install handlebars.


    The left %26amp; right handlebars are mounted to the fork tubes.


    If you just want to loosen the nut, loosen it with a socket and ratchet as you would with any fastener.
    ok i was about to say use channel locks, but then i realized you don't need to use that for handlebars..... o.0





    that's to take the tripple clamp out...

    Why does my GE washer wash clothes but won't spin out water?

    goes thru wash cycle perfect but wont release waterWhy does my GE washer wash clothes but won't spin out water?
    If it is not emptying the water out there may be something in the pump or the drain line may be blocked.





    If you can hear a motor running when it is supposed to be spinning your problem is in the drain line. If there is no noise when it is supposed to be spinning there is a problem with the pump or the lid switch but on some models the lid must be closed for it to agitate so if that is the case on your machine you can eliminate the lid switch.





    Did you just wash some old throw rugs? I have found several of these G.E. washers drain lines blocked with the ';rubber'; backing from these rugs.

    its broke...
    turn the spin dial on the, rinse cycle try it bye hand if it dosent work and just sits there ful of water its in the pump, the pump is shott have it relacedd, etc1
    If it's not spinning at all, you need a new agitator. Or maybe the drain line is clogged.
    Check the belt underneath the washer. May need to be replaced. (Try it on a gentle cycle too - ours worked for awhile that way.)
    mine did that....i had to go across the street to spin them out......you'll need a whole new dial .....that part of it is broken
    More than likely the pump is siezed up. If not that then the cycle switch is shot.

    I have a brown flower like fungus growing by my washer?

    It's brown, has a glossy texture to it, wavy around the edge. Could this be caused by my washer if it was leaking? Is it a mold or a fungus? It's coming out of the corner in my laundry room. It's about the size of a baseball. ThnxI have a brown flower like fungus growing by my washer?
    It's a fungus, and you need to have someone inspect your house for rot. For a fungus that size to show up, there has to be a CONSIDERABLE amount of moisture in the area. You may be looking at having to have the floor and walls replaced.I have a brown flower like fungus growing by my washer?
    Doesn't sound like mold but then again there are thousands of species. Get some water and mix in some bleach. make it fairly strong. then poor it on the stuff. see if that kills it.
    Mushroom!
    its a fungus and you should get an expert to check it out because you house might be licking and rooting
