Meet Steve: Your Washer’s Best Friend
“If you can use a screwdriver, you can save $200. I’m just here to hold the flashlight.”
Hi, I’m Steve Johnson. I’ve spent the last 15 years knee-deep in water valves, motor rotors, and fried control boards. While most technicians want to charge you $150 just to knock on your door, I believe most common appliance failures can be fixed by you—with the right guidance.
Why I Started ApplianceErrorHub
I got tired of seeing people throw away perfectly good machines because of a simple F01 or F51 code. My mission is to give you the “real talk” on repairs: What’s worth fixing, what’s a waste of money, and how to do it without losing your mind.
“I remember the first time I fixed my own mother’s dryer. She was about to spend $600 on a new one. I spent 20 minutes cleaning a thermal fuse, and it worked like new. That look of relief on her face is why I’m here today.”
What Makes My Guides Different?
I don’t just read manuals. I include the “Steve’s Field Notes” you’ll see in my articles—tips like “take a photo of the wires first” that save you hours of stress.
I only link to OEM parts I’d use in my own customer’s homes. No junk, just parts that actually fit and last.
I find and curate the best, most direct repair videos so you can see exactly where that hidden clip or bolt is located.
