Shelby American -- Part 13

 

Shelby American -- Part 12

 

Books, Magazines & Brochures...

Need to either find space for this stuff or find them a new home with someone else...

 

Wednesday, May 12, 2021 -- Hang Glider Spot -- Gliding...

 

Wednesday, May 12, 2021 -- Manhattan Beach Pier -- Overcast & Windy

 

Put away most of the stuff that was sitting on this flat files (except for the taller items)...

Need to find homes for the gauges, service part seat belt/buckle (70's Accord, I think) & motorcycle tank & side cover...

 

Tuesday, May 11, 2021 -- Manhattan Beach Pier

The bike path and the pier area were relatively quiet.

All the benches in the pier area were not being used.

Rested at my usual resting spot (bench on the right).

The fat-tire electric bicycle on the bottom right has HUGE tires!

One of the front brake shoes came loose.

Noticed when I got home...

Easy fix.

 

Washing Machine Broke. - Whirlpool Duet Front Loading -- Part 2

This is the error that I'm getting.

I checked the power (not it).

Checked the harness connections at the MCU (not it).

Can't check the wiring at the CCU (can't get to it).

Visually checked the drive system (motor and related parts) & no problem found.

Ran a Diagnostic test (several) and the diagnostic process  works so not the CCU.

The drive motor doesn't turn on (could be the motor or MCU).

Serial harness at the MCU is connected correctly.

So the items that I can't check or are not sure about are:

(1)  connection at the CCU

(2) MCU malfunction

(3) Motor malfunction

This is the diagnostic procedure.

I was able to follow the instructions and perform several of the tests (C00, C01, C04, C07)

The diagnostic test instructions say to push the RINSE/HOLD button (don't have a PREWASH OPTION).

Also don't have a RINSE/HOLD button but there is an "Extra Rinse" button.  Tried using this button and it worked in getting the machine into diagnostic test mode.

C00:  works

C01:  the water starts flowing so it starts to work

C:04 does not work (the drum doesn't turn)

C07:  doesn't work (drum doesn't rotate)

Based on the diagnostics, and the F11 code, my guess as to the most likely suspects are:

(1) MCU

(2) wiring connection at the CCU

(3) motor/drive

I ordered an MCU online from a seller who has "free returns" on Amazon.  It should arrive in about 6 days.

Will try it out when it arrives.

If it doesn't fix it, I may just replace the washer...

Until then, I'll have to take the laundry to the nearby laundromat...

 

Local Laundromat... & Mateo's

Until the washer is either fixed or replaced, will have to visit the local laundromat (5 minutes away by car).

I've got two loads going at the same time in the washers on the left.

30 minutes to wash, so not too long to wait.

Mateo's (Mexican ice cream store) is next door to the laundromat.

With the washers going, went in to get  something.  There was no one waiting.

Later, when I was leaving the laundromat, there was a long line!

Their truck is parked on the street in front of the store.

I got the pistachio bar.

Very good!

 

Putting away stuff from the Red Blue-Point Tool chest...

This tool chest was full of trinkets and tools.

Moved the stuff into the flat files and tool boxes in the garage.

The top compartment was full of miscellaneous stuff...

Nearly all of it fit in the flat files (only one item was too tall).

The three drawers were full of car badges, wrenches, pliers, etc.

They all got spread out into various flat files and tool chest drawers.

Don' really have space for this tool chest so will try to move it on...
