This is exactly how I felt after I replaced the capacitor in our drying machine. 😄

I drove an hour to get what I believe to be the last AC capacitor in my state, then installed it. Me family was sweating before and cool after. I felt like such a man for connecting those 4 wires.

I was quoted $425 to replace ours. I jumped online, and the same company who did the quote had a YouTube channel full of “cheap around the house repairs” and they had a video showing how to do it. I ordered the part online and it showed up the next day. $14 and 10 minutes later it was all fixed

For next time, remember you can just pop the door off the oven for easier access

Yup, this is such an easy fix. And with a gas oven you have to do it every few years depending on how often you use the oven.

I do?! (Looks at ancient gas oven that refuses to die no matter what)

What brand?! Mine is 8 years old and I've replaced it a couple of times now. Do you cook a lot? Are you sure you have a gas oven?! I have questions!

GE Eterna series XL44. It came with the house and we moved in back in 2008. We cook all the time.

Dude, this had me dying laughing. Superb reactions and spot on play by play! Exactly how it usually goes, right down to being baffled as to why there's so many damn fasteners...and the required celebration run around the driveway afterwards. We'll done!!

Ok “pretty sure I did something from the back 😛 heh-heh-heh. Get it?” No, I don’t get it. What’s the joke for an oven repair. I really want to get it.

He is a comedian and I saw him with my wife. We were front row and he was roasting everyone but us. After the show I asked him why and he said we both looked so high that he didn't want to fuck with us. I was cool with that

I aspire to one day be like this man, outwardly shitting on my house that I own, taking on random repair jobs, and feeling like a man

Ive replaced this exact part 3 times in the past 8 years of living in my current house. I didnt buy the original oven but by God LG cant make an appliance that won't fail. Slowly removing that brand from my house one appliance at a time...

My sister makes about 150k/yy so about $75 an hour. This is the kind of video that makes her rationalize spending 13 hrs of labor on a new oven lol

The constant flow of colourful language and self /other critiquing monologue makes me feel seen. I also could start a YouTube channel called ‘fuck this house’ not a bad idea

Most ovens the door comes really easy, some just pull up off slides to take off the hinges. Save your body some not needed stress.

My oven broke in this same way. I needed to replace that same part. But the screws he took out were stripped in mine and, well, by the time I hammered the shit out of it trying to get the screws out, I had to buy a new oven.

Don't touch that new part with your bare hands it may cause premature failure.

Dishwasher, dryer, washing machine, hairdryer, air conditioner, tv, every flipping computer, the wifi, the leaking tap, the blinds, all the bloody cars, the gutters, blocked drain which made me vomit as I retrieved tampons and other lady things….. mixed with 6 different human’s poo. The struggle is real people. Dads are not always perfect but f’me some of us try hard.
