“Hi, I'm located here in my area and I was just watching a video on VideoProven called ‘How to fix a reset a washing machine that won't spin’. I see that it's rated as a Easy repair and requires a Phillips Head Screwdriver and a Flathead Screwdriver, which I don't have on hand. I'm a bit stuck on the step at the 03:10 mark. Can you send someone over to help me finish this up?”
