i wasn't able to bend the metal posts of the headrest, so i tied a small pillow to the upper part of the seat, now i can sit up straight and not have the headrest push my head forward.

I wanted you to know I seen your video on the washer! I fixed mine this morning! Thank you so much!!

Awesome - thanks so much for showing us what you did!

Thanks Ms. Karen for your education. Am a victim my dramel overheating really quick and stop working too. is difficult to get the thermal fuse In Ghana. Very sad.

Terrific video, thanks Karen, great job. Do you have a Dremel part number for the thermal fuse you replaced?

Great video Karen. My machine has a six (6) pin connector, not three. Which wires do you think I should connect to create a lid switch bypass? Here's the pin-out for mine: 1 DC Motor #1 (red) 2. DC Motor #2 (black) 3. Lock switch 4. Gnd. 5. Lid Reed Sw. 6. Unlock

My dremel just stopped working and you're the 2nd video I spotted offering an explanation. The other guy said it's the brushes that need replacing. I like you sharing yoru reasoning which spoek to me. I don't want to spend 100 to buy another so I'll take it apart and try out your suggestion to see if it could be the fuse. Like you said- it would've gone to the trash heap anyway so can't hurt to check

I turn the headrest backwards and put a cushion on it.

The manufacturers do it because Federal and EU regulations REQUIRE it.

Yeah, cutting through that bolt was definitely an angle grinder job! We all live and learn...

I have same issue

You are amazing ❤

Thanks for not showing the reassembly

I returned 4 shades before I found this video. This video solved my problem big time ❤️

THANK YOU. This video should be at the top of the queue for anyone not wanting to give up on this fix. THANK YOU!

Thanks for sharing. I ended up using this method because my headrest was pushing/banging my head so i was always sitting crooked to circumvent the who apparatus. With the posts tweaked just ever so slightly, I now sit muuuuuuuch more consistent with the intended position that the designers wanted. Sure, maybe it's less safe for whatever body dimensions they used in the original design, but sitting completely crooked is waaaaay worse. I'm safer overall because of this.

👍

Wow ur video helped me a lot and I learned a lot! Thanks so much!

You hit it out of the park in the first 2 minutes telling me about a potential bracket issue being the problem. I read 5 other “expert’s” opinions and they all missed that and consequently were no help at all. Thanks very much! AAAAA.

My landlord says a "safety switch" for LID is done for stupid people.. lol

Thank you love the video! Key working every single time!!!

Thank you! I was really sad, my dremel just overheated, thought it was ready for the bin, found your video and ordered the part for $10 including shipping, not sad anymore, Thank you!

Thanks a ton. My Dremel 4000 needed just that! Back working after a whole 8 months or more.!!

Hey Karen, your Vid was a right on spot. Now i know where to start the repair. People be ware of the fact that you cant cut 1mm titanium for prolonged time even with the cool dremel "max" accessories ;o.

Thanks so much for your helpful video. My Porter Cable finish nailer stopped working. Same symptoms as yours. I was inspired by your “I can fix things”. Yes I too can fix things. My nailer is now working like new!

Thanks!!

Very helpful

Nice video, however what is holding the disposal in place is a little tang right next to the loop. My unit had developed a leak and I did have to dremel off the tangs. Also, the ring washer was also rusted into place so had to destroy the in-sink mount.

Freaking out about the slinky pipe. You seem skilled enough to cut a pipe. I have no doubt you have the skills to plumb to code with a little bit more effort.

What model Dremel is that?

Just remember that this will eventually burn out your timer. This should only be a temporary fix.

I took my headrest out and put it back in backwards instead.

The threadded part of the shaft is a little rusty..

Wow, that is a BIG bolt!

Thank you!

Excellent video, I learned a lot. Thank you so much.

It’s really worked thank you soo mucch❤

Your video is so helpful! I was struggling with getting the piece off because these silly plumber's decided to use a ring which was hard to see! Thank you

Heyyyy Karen … thank you for being my repair lady! I have a working washer now. May the Force continue to empower you ❤

Subscribed. 👍Greetings from Florida. Are you close to me ?

Can you get self-resetting thermal fuses? I've never come across them..

I've had to replace 3 of them all from leaking water like yours and one from rocks because my wife changed the water in the fish tank 😢. Get rid of the disposal is a good idea.

What a great teacher you are! I've put JB Weld on rust spots around the disposal! I don't use it and don't want a new one. Your video helps enormously! Love it!

Thanks it really works.. you saved my vintage i pad2

Hi can you please give me the part number for the brush holder watching from South Africa thank you for your help

Ran into this exact issue and this video saved me a ton of time. Thank you!

Thank you, Karen, for teaching us how to bypass the safety switch. My switch on my GE washer cost $57 to replace which is quite pricey. The information you have provided enables us that cannot afford the overpriced part to be able to use our machine!

Ohhh

I would plant it, it’s a pretty nice sized native white oak
