My first boss in Tacoma always told me to never trust the door switch on a 90s Kenmore dryer.
He said to check the timer motor first, because the switch rarely failed on those models. I spent an hour on a service call last week replacing a switch before I remembered his advice and found the real problem in under five minutes. Anyone else have an old tip that still saves you time?

Wait, wait. @sanchez.ivan your foreman actually thought the transmission went bad before the coupler? Those things snap if you look at them wrong. How many Saturdays did you lose before that guy gave you the real scoop?

My old foreman had the same rule for Whirlpool direct drive washers. He said the coupler fails way more than the transmission. I wasted a whole Saturday swapping a gearcase before I finally checked the stupid plastic part.

Man, that feeling is the worst. I've been there, pulling a whole transmission only to find a cracked coupler. It's like five hours of your life just gone. You get so sure it's the big, expensive part, you skip the cheap fix. Makes you want to kick something.
