At applianceaid site they use a piece of fishing line to pull the spring into the looped end of the wire. Just go to the site with www in front and .com at end. This site will block the whole web site.

I am sure you are realising that a big, big help in this repair business is knowing "tips".It is also really, really neat they started the search feature.

Definitely - i was younger when i started in the appliance repair business (19) and was only making 10% commission off of the profit for each repair so time was definitely money in my case. i worked for a very small family owned repair company where the husband ran the calls while his wife answered the phone and set up all the appointments and the scheduling and all that. I really didnt expect to get into appliance repairs but a guy was fixing my parents dishwasher and heard me say i needed a job so he offered to have me go along on his calls for a few months so i would know what i was doing and then he sent me out on my own. I wish i would have known about this site back then because its a great site with tons of information and, of course, those tips that make the repair much easier and quicker. I would always average making $1500 profit per week from my repairs but if you do the math that only comes out to 300 every two weeks so its obvious why i'm still not in the game but thinking back on it if i had found this site and learned the needed 'tips' to make repairs go much faster i wonder if i would still be in the game. Well, anyway, im rambling now but i will always look to this site if i ever have any problems of my own i cant figure out

You will see my "sticky's" on replacing direct drive brake shoes and others to see examples of good advice. Also, you will see that I and others try to save people money by not directing the reader to repairs that cost more than necessary and take more time. The management here supports my efforts to "correct" persons here that tend to respond to problems with this kind of advice. You will find other sites, that are tied to parts supply, many times will stress replacing more parts than necessary.
