This book covers the main parts of the wahing machine and shows pictures of the parts so that you can identify them. With a little knowledge of machanics you can fix a lot of the problems that come up , without calling a repair man for every little thing. Well worth the investment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fix my Washer!!, January 17, 2007

This review is from: Washing Machine Repair (Cheap and Easy) (Paperback)

A well-written and easy to read and understand manual. He covers common problems for all washers, then breaks everything down by manufacturers, telling you the most common problems each individual brand of washer usually has. The manual also lets you know what is and isn't usually worth the money and trouble to repair. Douglas Emley wrote the manual assuming you haven't worked in appliance repair all your life. For me, the book was well worth the money.

I used this book to fix a jammed Maytag pump and replace the destroyed pump belt ($15 incl. s/h thanks JOWAYNES PARTS SUPPLY COM). I probably saved beaucoup bucks, so I can't complain TOO much. However the book could be better organized and the illo's aren't much. It is necessary to flip back and forth between some parts of the book in order to review one problem. Furthermore, when I removed the front cabinet plate the clips sprang off and I had to pretty much wing it in putting 'em back - they seem to be holding but an illustration would have been helpul...

If you don't have the confidence to just leap right in and start toolin' around, though, this book is a LOT better than nothing!
