Thick muddy substance between 2 reels

There is a thick layer of brown "mud" between the two reels in my front loader- I have tried running bleach cycles but it is not going away. Is there a better way of removing the thick substance? Will I hurt the washer if I scrape it out? It is a Maytag Neptune front loader that was purchased in 2002.

SOURCE: my maytag front loader will not drain water oe comes on the control panel

On the 9700s it's even easier - three screws on the front bottom panel below the door, then use your hand to unscrew the large round handle in the front center. When you can't unscrew any more, pull gently and the filter / catcher will come out.

It's amazing how much stuff mine held - 4 breastfeeding shields, a pencil, a pen, a fake mouse, and lots of grey gunk.

Screw it back in, put the panel back on, and you're in business.

Is your door lock light on when machine is in use? I am having the same issue as you and I believe it is because my door is not locking during use.

My volvo S40 I know has a small leak, I went to top it up with rad fluid and it was thick as mud all grey i use prestone. Can you help me.it is a heat wave

Sounds like you got motor oil in your coolant. What does the motor oil look like on the dipstick? If it's the same milky, muddy color and thick, you need to have some major work done. Either a head gasket or cracked head or block.
If the motor oil looks OK, you need to drain, flush/clean, and refill your cooling system with fresh coolant. I would strongly recommend having an experienced mechanic check it out for you.

I have a 18month Electrolux 8kg front loader which has mould on the bottom part of the rubber seal. I have always kept the door open after every wash but the mould has set in. I have tried wiping it with...

You will find that wiping it dry, then painting it with thick household bleach and leaving it overnight will have an excellent effect on the staining. The rubber will tolerate the bleach without any problem. If one night doesn't quite cut through the mould, treat again the following night.

Just remember to wash the bleach away thoroughly, so that it doesn't affect any garments in the next wash!

I tried to add toner to my canon imagerunner and the door did not open when i pulled the tab on the cartridge. So now i have a thick layer of toner sitting on top of the compartment where the toner is...

Toner is not a harmful substance, it is basically ground up plastic. You can clean it up yourself with a paper towel or cloth. If you choose to use a vacuum to clean it out, just beware that just like sawdust toner is flammable at a certain aerosol concentration.

I have Attached Sata HDD to my system and its working extreamly slow, to install operating its take 12 hour.. Can I know why?

1. Try a different SATA cable.
2. Try a different SATA port.
3. If using a SATA card, remove it and put it back in again (called "reseating").
4. Motherboard could be a problem; check for capacitors on the motherboard that are rounded on top and/or leaking electrolyte (a thick, brown substance) out of the top; if that's the case the motherboard will need to be replaced.

Brown dirt-like looking "gunk" coming out of the washer

The filter on your pump is probably clogged with lint and stuff. You have to remove the bottom front panel, 3 torx screws underneath. The panel will drop and come off. Drain off the excess water from the hose you see. The white filter cover is right in front. Get yourself a bunch of towels or a good big plastic bag to collect water. Unscrew the filter cover and twist the filter out. Clean out all the stuff and put it back in carefully.

Next: You can use Affresh to clean your front loader. Deposits of soap and other such things can be stuck around the inside tub of your washer. Try this product, it works great on all front loaders. Use hot water with the Affresh pellet with no clothes and run the machine through a cycle. Also helps with any stagnant water smells. Have you cleaned out your pump lately. Put the pellet inside the machine, not in the soap dispenser.
Pl give me a good rating for the free help, thanks.

Wii Controller into TV - - Very Bad

An LCD TV, from front to back, consists of these layers:

protective film - <1mm thick
liquid crystal cells - <1mm thick
charge screen - <1mm thick
backlight panel - 5-10mm thick
metal heat spreader - 2-5cm thick
controller board - 1mm thick

Your son most likely damaged the liquid crystal cells...

Unfortunately unlike normal TVs these are precision assembled, and there isn't much you can do to fix it.

It is possible to replace the screen, but it involves replacing the entire unit, from protective screen right to controller board. In other words, almost everything except the plastic case.

Unfortunately I think the tv is busted permanently, and it will cost more to repair than to replace.

I had the same problem. LG said that the liquid bleach needs to be diluted. 50% water, 50% bleach. Straight bleach it too thick.
