After 23 years of good service the drum has fallen off at one side. Is it worth fixing or buy a new one?

I think is is this model purchased in 1991 with the pull down door on the front.

HAS SHOCK ABSORBERS WHEN THEY GO BAD ONE SIDE CAN LEAN ALSO CHECK FOR BAD OR LOOSE BALANCE WEIGHT. LOCATED NEAR THE MOTOR.

All front-load washing machines have shock absorbers that are used to dampen the tub movement in the spin cycle. The shock absorbers or struts are attached to the base frame and to the outer tub and you will need to remove the front panel or the rear panel to access them. When shock absorbers weaken or become damaged, the machine will often make a loud banging sound during the spin cycle and if the symptom is not corrected, can lead to damage of other components. Inspect the shocks for signs of broken attachments, leaked fluids or a weakened dampening action and replace both shocks if worn. Remove power from the appliance before attempting this repair.

Yes, thanks for answer. Checked & belt of Aristona Margherita washing machine was off. Fitted it back on but drum still loose. Could it be bearings or something else & do u think its worth fixing it?

It could be bearings. I would call a service center and find out what a service call cost just to come out. Then make your decision whether to buy a new one. If it is 10 years old, buy a new one.

Hello, I have a Kitchenaid Superba KSRB25FHSS02 side by side refrigerator. It was made in 1999 and came with the house. Two years ago, the compressor went on it and we had it replaced. A couple days ago,...

It's really up to you, to decide whether you want your refrigerator to be fix or replaced and buy a new one. You need to calculate the cost between repair cost and the price of a new refrigerator. Which one is suited your budget plus the convenient of the trouble free unit for many years to come.
Since your refrigerator is about 12 years old already and it's undergo several repair, including the most expensive compressor replacement. I think it's economical to spend for a brand new unit.
New unit have service warranty of about one year, it will take many years before it undergo service repair if you use and treat it with proper care.
Good luck on your decision.

I have a 1991 dodge colt vista they said i need pistons or rebuild the motor is it worth fixing it or should i sell it to the ecolgy wreck please give me a answer quick and how much will it cost me to fix...

A professional engine rebuild can cost anywhere from $500 to $1500 or more, depending on what needs to be replaced/serviced.

If you plan on doing the work yourself, you could get away with less than $200.

Whether or not it's "worth it" to fix the car or replace it, is relative. You have to remember to factor in the cost of purchasing/fixing a new car versus the one you're driving now.

Vehicle resale value should not be considered in whether or not it's "worth it" to repair a vehicle, unless you intend to repair it before selling it. The primary consideration should be the cost of fixing it versus the costs you will incur utilizing other options, such as buying new, buying used with payments, buying used outright, etc.

Keep in mind that all vehicles eventually need service, and a more expensive vehicle tends to need more expensive service procedures.

One of the arms have fallen off

I would say if you can take it apart look for the screws that fasten the Arm to the drum .They have to be inside the machine in the bottom somewhere .
Put it together and good luck .
you can type in the name and the model number of the machine and a multitude of solutions will be available to you in case you decide to buy a new one .Merry Christmas !

What does it mean to change the drum soon?

The Canon B640 uses an ink cartridge/printhead assembly. There is no Drum just the BX-3 bubblejet ink. Could it be possible that you have the model number wrong?

If so, note the proper model number and purchase a new Drum from a reputable local office equipment dealer. The directions enclosed with the drum should help you with installation of it. It's a good idea to have your local dealer clean the machine at least once a year. If you buy the drum from them while it's in for service, they could install it for you.

good luck

Drum on washer wont spin

It's not worth fixing if it's 10 years old or more, better off replacing it with a newer machine which will be much more efficient!

The belt is gone and or snapped off or the transmission is shot! And it's not worth replacing an old transmission.
If it's 10 years old or more buy a new one
and save your money ,fixing it is a waste!
Not worth the money to fix!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
