Bad Maytag washer pump bearing

This is a drain pump I pulled from a maytag washer.  You can see the metallic area that has been exposed around the bearing area.  The customer had been complaining about a screeching sound during the spin cycle.  These cannot be repaired and must be replaced.  

Boise zoo appliance repair

We repaired two dryers at the Boise zoo today.  Here is a pic of a robotic dinosaur in the pond.  The kids really got excited watching this thing roar.  That was fun.   Both of the dryers we fixed were frigidaire stack units so there was a lot of labor involved.  The personnel were very friendly and we got to see how the animals food was prepared.  Can you say crickets?  They had a lot of those for the lizards.
