Saved Myself a repair bill

[jkhanson]

My 2 year old grandson loves to vacuum!  He has a toy vacuum but he loves my "big" one too.  He uses the crevice tool as his "leaf blower".

Anyway, he asked me to vacuum with him tonight so I got my vacuum and he got his.  Mine had a problem.  The beater bar roller brush didn't turn.

I unscrewed the 4 screws on bottom plate but could not remove the plate to see what was binding the belt.  I googled trying to find the user guide owners manual and also checked Youtube.  I got it to work it again after finding the user guide at searspartsdirect.com

Calvin and I happily vacuumed the living room!

i love you tube it saves so much money and shows you how to repair or what is needed to repair so your not running back and forth to the hardware store for items.

You tube is great!  My daughter has done small repairs on her car from watching you tube videos.

That's a great story.  I just got a phone.  It's refurbished.  Worked great for bout' 2 weeks.  Than slowly stopped connecting to the charger.  I almost bought another battery for it.  Then I youtubed android charging problems.  Tried my charger from my old phone and voila - the clouds parted and the angels began to sing.  It was a beautiful moment.

I love YouTube for cooking techniques.

My mom never taught me to cook. My sister and I figured it out with trial and error, but she was much better than i.

So, now I look up the techniques, and feel so much more comfortable using kitchen tools and I am getting better.

Our garbage disposal broke. My son looked on youtube and was able to fix it.saved us a plumber. yes,also good for recipes.

I fixed my toilet once based on a video on youtube.  You don't want to pay a plumber $60 for a two-minute fix.

i always love to repair teh little things .

It is good that you were able to fix it yourself.  Not only did you save yourself a repair bill, but possibly might would have had to buy a new vacuum.

How cool is that!  Saving  money is always good.

That was great, I just brought a new vacuum yesterday.

I have been using YouTube videos for that very reason. There's a lot of great instructional ones that have come in handy.

You can fix almost anything with you tube videos.
