My Mother thinks I'm a genius because I can do that and fix her washer (pump, door to drum gasket) and dryer (heating element, heating element, belt), as well as a lot of other things. I google them to find the youtube videos to fix what's wrong, and get the parts. Takes time, but less each time. A friend looked up how to do some obscure repair to his very old truck (very obscure, since he repairs his truck all the time), and they had it!

Now, if we could get the RW to be able to tell the difference between a good source for appliance repair (say, So-And-So Appliance Repair, for example) and a bad source for COVID or other infor (someRandomGuy).
