How To Remove a Bathtub Drain With Broken Cross Members and Install New Drain
How To Remove a Bathtub Drain and Install New Drain - I am going to show you how I removed a bathtub drain with a tub drain removal tool (tub drain extractor). This particular drain was corroding away and eventually water could start sneaking under the bathtub.
Note: The tub drain instructions called out for some plumber's putty which I did not display in the beginning of video.
In addition, the cross hair support that holds the stopper in place broke away too so I just had an open bath drain which opens up the risk of caps and other items going down the drain.
If you have a washer that needs the bearings and seal replaced please visit my website and I will help you!

Nika Snow Storm - My Craftsman 30" Snow Blower - Gas Cap Leaking
Wow... Nika! You delivered some heavy snow last night!
I had to get out my Craftsman 30" snow blower this morning.
The snow had a layer of ice on it that would have made it really
difficult to shovel. Especially considering that I have a corner lot
which means 2 side walks. The side side walk is about 140' long.
Here is a video I made with the camcorder in the window and I
sped up the video to keep it short.
This Craftsman snow blower is about 3 years old. The only problem I have
had is the gas cap leaked. I called sears and they sent me a new one. No problem...
It has heated grips and a headlight as well as trigger controlled power steering.
I love the electric start and you can hear it in the video when it starts up...
However, I noticed the replacement gas cap is leaking now after 2 years.
Have you had any trouble with your gas cap leaking? I wonder if there is
a design issue with the gas cap?

Maytag Neptune Washer Keeps Shutting Off
The most common cause of Maytag Neptune Washer Keeps Shutting Off is a motor control board failure. The motor control board (MCB) on the Neptune is situated on the right side near the floor pan. On the stand alone models (non stacker) you can remove the door and front panel and take a look at the MCB. If you start up the machine and it shuts off within a few seconds that usually indicates the MCB has failed.
Since there is high voltage on board (170 VDC) components can actually rupture when they fail. Typically, the ten amp fuse will blow or it may zap a copper trace off of the board. If you inspect your MCB but don't see anything burnt on your MCB I would check the connectors on both the MCB and the machine control board which is located in the upper console section. It can help to unplug each connector and re install it to clean the connector pins/contacts. You should also have a special diagnostic sheet with a wiring diagram and other help information.
If you discover that your Neptunes' MCB has failed you can visit www.washerbearings.com/parts to order replacement parts other than tub bearings and seal.
Older Neptune's will need the motor conversion kit which includes a new MCB, motor and wiring harness and this is because Maytag had redesigned the motor drive system due to reliability issues on the older machines.
I hope this helped you. Leave any questions or comments below.

Carrier Furnace Inducer Blower Wheel Fan - How To Replace
Carrier Furnace Inducer Blower Wheel Fan - How To Replace the 326100-401 inducer Fan wheel.
This inducer wheel fan was making a loud vibrating noise and I just to take a peek... I did not want to bother the furnace repairman for this simple repair.
Always use good safety judgement when working on your appliances. I recommend you wear safety glasses when working to prevent eye injuries and remove power when there is a chance to come in contact with any electrical connections. Note: A trip to the ER/urgent care will quickly offset any savings when doing repairs yourself.
I also have lots of information on the Maytag Neptune and other front load washers. See my other posts and Washer Bearings for more information..Leave me feedback if this video helped you.
Thank You!
