Fixing my 10+ yrs old washing machine win!
My older washing machine had started banging and walking on every load. I got some rubber vibration absorbers and placed them under each foot. While I was there, I looked underneath with a flashlight and saw the cement-filled counterweight on the floor (it's a front loader). I thought surely the fix was going to involve the online appliance parts store, a hardware store, days offline, and cussing.
It did involve a $10 specialty plier that I may have been able to use what I already had. But for $10 I wasn't willing to waste time and effort.
The dang counterweight had walked off the mounts, so all the screws and everything was still there. Literally just opened her up, put the weight back in place, wrapped some electrical tape per some forum posts on the screws, tightened and reassembled.
Washer fixed. Didn't even take a full ad afternoon. Cost: $10 for the pliers.
