The 1/4" belt that's visible seems to be tearing and I am wondering if I buy the part and replace it myself vs. hiring an expensive technician. I am pretty competent in following instructions if the instructions are detailed. Any ideas?

Hello, as long as you follow instruction regarding disassembly, and are willing to take time, don't rush, and have tools and parts on hand, then yes, but if your not sure, and not willing to follow instructions, as well as take your time, then no. its not the belt you have to take care about, its the electronics, the carriage is the part that you need to take great care of.

    The above post is correct, but maybe a bit understated.....
    I am a 12 year printer repair tech with a few plotter repairs under my belt. I have done 2 of these DesignJet 1050c belts. The last one being just a few weeks ago on a machine I own. It is an involved repair and I would allow 6 hours working time plus an hour or two of study prep before a first try on this job if unfamiliar with plotters or their repair. Having done one before it still took me about 41/2 to 5 hours from start to finish with all the tools and the service manual which I had already bookmarked and highlighted from the one I did before it a few years ago. The manual is a bit difficult to navigate and requires a LOT of flipping around to get through the steps. There are many oppurtunities to miss steps

Sr. "do you have the factory service manual on this car...".?????



buy one and read. step by step it is all there.

and if you get it wrong, on most DOHC engines the head valve bend.

$1000 damage. (parts and labor my state)

or more if head is destroyed., or pistons beat to death..



no country stated, we dont have F8s here. in USA.



do not guess, get the instructions and win.

also here in USA we have Gates belts. and are TOP quality

and come with instructions in the box, so buy GATES.

this link only works in uSA> so google for yours.



http://navigates.gates.com/



buy a quality belt with instructions

Drum will not turn and there is no heat.
This dryer has a circuit board that controls virtually everything. If it makes a buzzing noise when you press the power button to turn on the control panel, it's probably not going to be an easy fix. When you hire a professional, you avoid buying expensive parts that you might not need, such as a control board. If it makes a loud buzzing noise when you press the start button, it's possible that it could be a motor or belt problem. But again, I'd recommend a service call for this one.

Comes up with fan error is this expensive fix ??are part avaliable?
Hi, cost on a fix like this is all dependent on the technician you hire to replace it, you can go as low as 20 bucks if you hire a tech for 10 dollars an hour, as it will take couple hours, however if you hire a tech for that low, well you just may not want to. For the part it should not cost too much, use the brand name and model number of the laptop and search at www.froogle.com, google's product search, you will have many choices, very cheap.

Kenmore series 80 washer wont spin
If your washer pumps out the water but doesn't spin, check these:

  • The lid switch may be defective. If it is, the washing machine doesn't spin. The switch is inside the washing machine main housing near the door frame. Often you have to raise or open the top or front of the washing machine to get to the switch. If it's defective, you need to replace it.


  • The motor coupler may be broken. Many Whirlpool®-manufactured washers use a small, relatively inexpensive motor coupling. It's plastic and rubber and is mounted to the shaft of the motor on one side, and to the transmission on the other. Over time, the coupler wears out and fails. You may need to replace it.


  • A belt may be broken. Many washing machines have one or two belts. If a belt is broken or badly worn, you need to replace it with a genuine belt from the manufacturer. (Some washing machine belts are designed with special characteristics not found in automotive belts.)


  • The clutch may be worn. If your washer is a GE, it may use a clutch to come up to the proper spin speed. As the clutch wears out, it may prevent the unit from spinning well or at all. If the clutch is worn, you need to replace it. For this job, you probably want to hire a qualified appliance repair technician.


  • The drive motor may be defective. Many washer brands use a reversing motor. For agitation the motor runs in one direction, for spinning and draining, the other. It's possible for a motor to burn out in one direction and continue to operate in the other. If this happens, you need to replace the entire motor.


  • The transmission may not be shifting properly. Older washers produced by Whirlpool® have a transmission with an electro-mechanical shifter. If the shifter becomes even partially defective, the unit may drain the water but not spin. This is a complex system, if your washer has a shifter problem, you may want to hire a qualified appliance repair technician to repair it.


  • The spin bearing or basket drive may be worn or seized. These components allow the inner tub to spin freely inside the outer tub. When this is the problem, you usually hear a loud sound during the spin cycle. Call a qualified appliance repair technician.

Washer won't spin
Check the belt to make it has not snapped or is tangled. There may also be some kind of visible obstruction in the way.

Also check: the motor coupler may be broken. Many washers use a small, relatively inexpensive motor coupling. It's plastic and rubber and is mounted to the shaft of the motor on one side, and to the transmission on the other. Over time, the coupler wears out and fails. You may need to replace it.

If it seems that washer tub doesn't spin freely it may be seized and expensive to fix this would need to be checked by a repair technician.

It is possible also that the transmission is worn if the tub starts to spin and then stops. This is also a repair technician job and could be expensive for a old machine that parts are hard to come by.

REMEMBER to unplug the washer before working on it to avoid injury.
