Harper & Knowles Washer and Dryer Repair

My channel shares a lifetime of insider tips and tricks to help tradesmen and DIYers get the job done without wasting time or money. I’ve spent my life learning from talented people—my father, numerous uncles, and gifted friends in construction, farming, offshore oil, aviation, and mechanics. I took over Harper & Knowles Washing Machine and Dryer Repair LLC from my late friend and mentor, Mr. Donald Harper Sr., who taught me the art of appliance repair. Now, I share that knowledge with you through my videos.

In addition to my work in the trades, I’m also a writer with several published books across different genres, including sci-fi, mystery, and short stories. If you enjoy my content, please consider subscribing—it’s a small way to support my efforts. Thanks for stopping by!

The Obsolete Professor gave me this idea in one of his comments. I just bought a new four-wheeled dolly and his comment was uncannily timely. I did the modification he suggested and now I don't get dirty looks from customers when I attach my shop dolly to the front of their appliances. Thanks again, Professor!

Hey guys, David Coggins, a subscriber, and really awesome dude, wrote this great article about how he made some test boxes for washing machine motors. He lives in Australia where the household current is 240 volts. His box also checks motor speeds! Reply to one of his comments if you need to ask a question.

My wife, Lesa, took this picture in the late summer of 2019 when Mr. Harper turned his business over to me. I was learning something every day from this gentleman, not only how to work on washers and dryers but of the rich history of our community and the love he had for the people he served for so long.
