Moment of Truth who's right all right the moment of truth I feel like we have
a bigger problem see if there's water in there I see it dribbling a little
oh oh oh that's a lot more than I thought whoa so we've run into a problem and I don't know if
this was because of something I did but since we put the solar on and our RV thinks it is plugged
into 30 amp all of the time I had this Grand idea that on our way back from Texas while our
RV's driving down the road I could just get a load of laundry done while that was happening
so threw in a load started the washer dryer went to get on the road and then I noticed that the
washer wasn't working at a place that we stopped and it was like it was getting no power well
wasn't going to try to troubleshoot it then figure when we get it back maybe there's a thing if the
key's on the wash won't work I don't know we just need to get to the next destination so got back
something's very very wrong with this unit okay so herein lies the problem we have this splendid
splendid when it's working Splendid all in one washer dryer unit and this was in this
rig when we bought it so we know this is like original to the rig which was a 2004 and we've
loved this thing I use the heck out of this thing when we're out on the road and it's saved us time
money all of that so now though what's going on is this dial just like continuously spins
and it would appear that it's not draining here's what we found out you're supposed to
like I guess clean it and the whole thing is is this whole time that we've owned this thing I've
like where's the lint trap there's no lint trap but I've not really just given it much more of a
thought other than the fact that I haven't found a lint trap so I think now what we've got is I
think that the pump is clogged we've done a little bit of youtubersity to try to figure out what the
potential problem is and if all goes according to plan this should be an easy fix foreign
I don't think we're gonna need to drill I don't think oh yeah you always need the
drill I did look and one of the people whose video I saw on this said we need a flat head
screwdriver and that is because of this right here so we've got this piece here
so apparently this piece here needs to come off and supposedly what we're gonna find behind this
piece is some sort of like I don't know like it's like a trap a filter a filter that we
should have to clean the one video I saw the guy was saying that this is hard to get off and he
broke the plastic tabs that hold this on and so somebody else commented on that video and
said if you use a flathead screwdriver you shouldn't break the plastic tabs oh
you playing uh well I was just like looking to see because the last time I felt like I felt like I
could see water in it yeah did you did you hear this listen if I stick my head in there there's
like an echo echo did you hear that hello you're funny first things first we need to take this
okay and then we need to take off this lip here oh I don't think we need to take that
off because that'll allow us to take that off we have to do that this side of the washer is
sitting on the lip right this side of the washer is behind the lip well let's try it you know
without doing that and then we'll Resort because I don't like do you see how the paint like when
this got painted I'm just concerned that we're gonna make them where we're gonna have a line
that we don't want to have if anything look look do you see how the washers like it's off
kilter yeah push it back a little right to get this so maybe try pushing it back a little all
right do you want to push it back or you want me to push back I'm the heavier person yes you
are that's the right thing to say it's very right thing to say okay so here's the deal
I researched this and I think that we needed to grab like a bucket in case there's any water
this is his idea of a bucket yeah it's small and portable we don't need anything big what do you
think there's gonna be water gushing out of there I don't know I'm gonna but that's not gonna be
anyway let me know in the comments this is a bucket do you think that's a bucket I gotta
pull it out more because uh if I open this up it's just going to leak water right down in there
under the lip so we do have to pull it off so I should pull these screws out to get a whole
allows us to pull the washer and dryer out a little more
okay but I think it's anchored by something else I don't know about that we'll find out
[Music]
so this should in theory pop off come on it's an inner tight Moment of Truth
who's right ben try to pull it out let's see what happens all right
pull it out Mr it's just gonna pull out and it's not connected any other way so we're gonna
go ahead and just pull [Music] oh you know what it's not pulling out because of this Frame here
is too narrow okay so we're gonna need a little funnel or a little something underneath well
that's why I brought the towel oh well this is basically there's not much water in there is there
about to see if there's anything in it see if there's water in there I see it dribbling a little
oh oh oh that's a lot more than I thought whoa
I see a bigger bucket oh my God look at all this change
no wonder it would it drain how much change do do we do we have enough to retire on
about holy cow you know what what else is in there that's that was a lot of change a bunch
of funk yeah a bunch of okay so what do you what do we want a rag paper towels what do you think
to clean that out jeans for a dollar but look at this filter how nasty it is
I mean it's got a lot of Gunk yeah basically what this does is it it stops any big material
from going in to where it doesn't hit that little impeller deal and I remember hearing
at one point like that sounds like a quarter or a dime or something in there and then it stopped
doing that all of a sudden you just assume it fixed itself assume that it just went out the
the gray tank hose and uh fix itself but no it was actually in here look at this this is
nasty that is gross look at all of that stuff that's in there there's this it's like a piece
of plastic or something too elastic a couple quarters okay so the true test is gonna be
after we're done with all of this we put it back together is it going to drain and fix itself so
here fingers crossed because I did price out a new one of these and I have to say I love it in a new
one of these things it ain't cheap cheap on the road that's my new rally seminar according to Tony
so I'm gonna hand it over to her we're gonna learn how to be cheap on the road [Applause]
oh I'm sorry saving money on the roads if you uh don't know what that's all about you'll have
to watch last week's video to get that joke no I'm sure it stinks I'm not smelling it no I mean
this might not be a regular scene of me with the you know cleaning supplies and a brush and stuff
but so I'm gonna just go and clean channeling his inner inner you know um anal retentiveness no my
inner cleaning lady cleaner than it was cleaner than it was so we're gonna pop this back in
this will be the moment of truth so I found another little issue here
actually not level this is why it's been so loud
I know exactly what I'm talking about so there's this panel right here but that panel is not very
big that's what she said that's what she said do you honestly think that you're gonna be able to
reach through that panel yes and access the back foot of the washer to extend it down
monkey arms yeah I got big old monkey arms oh yeah that's perfect yep I got the leg right here
okay so Lefty loosey righty tighty [Music]
you can see the dryer vent right there and then you go down and then the leg is right there so we
wanted to take a quick minute to think the sponsor of this video unique camping in the Marine now
we have been using the unique camping and Marine Products here in our RV for close to two years now
and we feel it has made a huge difference with not only keeping those black tank and sometimes gray
tank smells to a minimum but we have also noticed that our tank sensors now are a lot more accurate
because they're staying much more clean by using the unique products so basically I used to clean
our toilet with bleach found out that's actually a big No-No for things like black tank smells so now
I use the unique camping and marine toilet cleaner follow that up with the drop in pods no smells no
clogs no problem we've actually partnered with unique camping and Marine for a 15 discount
for our viewers and you'll find all of that information at the Link in the description below
all right back to the video and see what happens with this whole washer dryer business yes how will
we know if it works if we turn it on there's a reset procedure too right okay so look this
is this is my gathering online the reset thing because I would turn it to reset to get the door
to unlock right if it goes through the spinny thing and doesn't stop it's basically trying
it's it's basically saying like the internal computer has picked up a problem that it can't
like self-resolve and now it needs like human intervention so technically sounds like the
story of my life and then there's a procedure to turn it off turn it on turn it what you said you
can put it on the reset yeah and it's supposed to kind of just go through yeah but then stop
at some point follow us for more uh washers and dryer tips I'm gonna go ahead and adjust this foot
back a little bit oh perfect so now we're level you know if it's not shaking the whole RV yeah
well we don't have any more excuses doing it right righty tighty and that extends it out so
now it's nice and tight in there so it's not gonna shake as bad all right it's the moment
of truth I know I'm kind of nervous okay so I've just gotta set to regular turn it on so far that's
nothing hugely out of the ordinary but this should start like rapidly flashing here in a minute
and it should start filling and it's not doing any of that okay we might need to turn it to
reset so try cutting it to reset well no I think you have to turn it off and then on
a few moments later oh we have okay so that's some sort of action so it's trying to drink
any water in there okay and this is what I was doing before yeah just clicking through
so if it goes around once and doesn't stop we know we need to try to do a reset so we'll see how long
this takes like if it's actually okay it's going around full circle because I think it is like I
think it is draining now and I think that might have been the problem before let's go see right
it's draining so I just got it going into the grass [Music] watering the grass outside
okay I've got good news and bad news the good news is I don't have bad news [Applause] [Music]
it's actually draining okay well that's good in that side it's not good so far is that we [Music]
don't it'll take a while how long does it do this thing until it drains all the way probably one
eternity later so it went through that and then according ly red you're supposed to be able to
put it where you want it turn it on and see if this is fixed but normally when I would be doing
a load of wash and I would go through all of this This Little Light would come on and like start
flashing like rapidly and then the cycle would actually start it would start filling with water
and doing all of its things and it's not it's just doing this flashy thing and nothing's happening so
and that should reset it so it's not like [Laughter]
that solves the problem there you go now it won't spin around
um now it really should go through the reset procedure and Flash fast and then then you
turn it off and then turn it to regular and it should just work but it's not like
it's not resetting I feel like we have a bigger problem yeah than just that and I was hoping it
would be a simple fix and it doesn't look like it would be so now we have to decide and call
Splendid do we want to call Splendid and see see it's possible like see how none of these lights
are on normally you'd have some of these lights that would be on yeah we're back to the same old
thing yeah well let's call Mr Splendid and see if there's a newer model we can maybe get well
is like a total strikeout for the glampers but we've done everything we can on a simple
fix we did figure out um that there was actually like a little code things like
when we turn this on and how many times this light flashes that's actually like a code so
we know there's something more going on like electrical so we're kind of at this place where
ver happens this is gonna have to come out whether we are able to figure out the
electrical problem and reinstall it and we're back in business or
like we're just trying to like decide and externally process like do we want to try
to fix it and save ourselves the Thirteen hundred dollars that a new one of these units cost or
is it time to just cut bait and say that this thing's what it's a 2000 came with the 2004 model
yeah this is old you've gotten the heck out of this I mean we've had many nights of putting the
kids to sleep with this thing the weird thing is now oh man there's still water in here ah
uh-oh I don't know if it's big enough it's not big enough go get dump this or do we want to
just do like just keep down multiple tricks yeah ready yeah oh I don't hold on hold on
heavy like 150 pounds
the one video I said I said I didn't say it remember when you couldn't find your debit card
[Music] these are pieces of a debit card in the washer somewhere well if it is it'll find
its way out and oh my gosh that's my little tie-dye debit card now here's the scary part
oh yeah oh you were you making fun of me never where's the rest of it where's the
rest of the numbers like I will know but just where's the rest of the card total Rabbit Trail
I did last night with this look oh it's a light in there in here it's pretty not how I was hoping
this video would end but I guess that just means we're gonna have to make a new video
