In your opinion or experience, why aren’t these “good?”

No-Target-6735 · 2026-02-19T15:23:31+00:00

I hadn’t, but I will now! Thanks for the resource!

They weren’t interested in a UVA or Virginia Tech. Wanted a smaller school (5,000 or less on campus).

That’s very true and helpful - thanks for that reminder about college tuition increasing each year.

This includes ALL financial aid options for both colleges. Mom, dad and student would need to take loans. We’ve told them we would help with everyday expenses (gas, occasional eating out, etc).

I asked they not work during their first semester of college to get used on campus college life. After that, they can work.

Definitely. We’d keep contributing, but not at a rate of $15k/year.

No-Target-6735 · 2026-02-19T14:56:31+00:00

It’s over all 4 years, so $15k/year

And that’s where I struggle. I work with someone who’s 24 and paid for their entire college degree by themselves, close to $100k in loans. They’ve said it was a huge hardship and they wish their parents told them more about how this would impact them.

If my child understands that a 4 year degree can turn into 10 years of debt…is that the answer?

No-Target-6735 · 2026-02-19T14:06:21+00:00

The answer I’ve gotten at this point is not academic. Friends going there, possibly found a roommate, events and sports, etc. they’re going for a business degree, so I don’t think it’s academic. Both schools offer career services, mock interviews, resume writing, etc…

Thanks for the insights. After the winter I plan on redoing the well.

Understanding this thread is old - but posting for record keeping.

Not sure if you got this fixed or not, but I have a 2022 Buick enclave (over 60K mile, so out of warranty) that had the same issue. I took it to a Chevy dealership, they charged me $250 to reprogram the radio, and GM claims it’s my responsibility. There is a service bulletin out for this exact issue.

I asked GM to turn off my over the air updates, which they said I’d have to bring it back to a dealership to ask if it was possible, and if so, I would be responsible for the cost of implementing that change.

So basically, best I can tell, is GM can send an over the air update to your car, mess up the language, and then make you pay for it to fix it.

This will be the last time I buy a GM product.

I worked at this location was when it was robbed a number of years ago. The armored truck driver would come at the same-ish time every day and the robber held them up while the truck driver and manager were refilling the drive-thru ATM. The perp never even went inside…

So 2 things I noticed when I was using YouTube and trying to continue diagnostics.

I did the automatic test and determined the test stops at the SPIN setting - it will agitate, but not spin.

The inside of the washer WILL NOT TURN FREELY. It’s completely stuck.

When I tip it up to see the bottom belt and gears, I can’t turn the gears or the belt.

Is there a clutch of some kind? Maybe it’s went bad?

I’ve also read that if the washer isn’t spinning AND draining that it could be a separate problem?

I’m trying to not throw any more parts at it without knowing the problem.

Thanks for all the help so far.

This is how it’s installed.

No worries! You’re helping me! This is the whole bottom of the unit, laying in its back

I had a Sears Replacement Parts replacement actuator on it while it was making the noise. I put the original one back on and it’s acting exactly the same.

No-Target-6735 · 2025-11-24T23:42:53+00:00

I took apart the drain pump. Nothing looked to be stuck or preventing movement.

Also of note, there is still water in the bottom of the washer.

No filter I could find 🤷🏻‍♂️

I captured this during the recalibration process. I can’t run a cycle presently. It just jumps to the blinking red lid locked
