    The average washer'/dryer'/stove I can break down in 10 mins or less. Angle grinder with disc can cut the crappy motor brackets in 30 secs and the motor is out. Most of the cases they are alu, but still 25c lb for the motor vesus 12c lb for shred is better. The wire is 1.50 lb at current prices. The switches have brass contacts with silver buttons. 30 secs to smash with hammer. Usually I dont mess with the silver, so the contacts usually go in the brass bucket. Now ya done. All you need is a cordless impact screw gun with 11'/32'/ 9/'32 and 1'/4 sockets. Some philips bits and ya golden. Not rocket science and quite easy to do especially if ya familiar with working on cars, engines, etc.



    The only time I dont break down appliances is in the case when my boiler man calls me and he needs 3 appliances and a boiler out asap. So the appliances get loaded and unloaded at the yard, then I head back for the boiler due to space and time constraints. Everything else is gutted.....
