Would this work on the older model? Mine is about ten years older than the one shown.
Yep, same here. The second time is always faster.
The embedded video is clearer than the official service manual, which is a little embarrassing for the manufacturer.
Should be the same procedure, the part moved slightly but the steps match.
I did the same repair last month and your step 3 is where I got stuck. Wish I had this then.
Followed along, got it done in about twice the time quoted, but it is done and it works.
Bookmarking. I have exactly this problem and was about to pay someone.
