My favorite part was when you stomped the old fuse - totally going to follow that step.

I did laugh out loud when you stomped on the fuse

I replaced the safety fuse and cleaned out the vent real good. Again, no start. One of the plugs going to door switch had wiggled loose. That was it, but glad I cleaned the vent. A lot more lint than you see on the screen.

I have the exact same dryer, 20 years old but been replacing elements along with the fuse and thermos everytime. This time I also replaced the timer, and now the thermostat in the element itself sparks. Brand new element and i dont know what I'm doing wrong. Any advice?

[@AllThingsNaturalHair]

That's my problem then. Thank you so much!!!!!

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Thanks if it continues to blow you may to clean the j yet so and external vents!

[@AllThingsNaturalHair]

@@ApartmentMaintenancePro Ok thanks, dryer is now working.

[@mikepetersen9887]

Great help, fixed mine. Much appreciated

[@mohammedaldujaili2890]

Check for shortage heater element causing the safety fuse to blow out.

I have a Kenmore dryer. The on switch does not turn dryer on or off. To turn dryer off, I have to open the door, but when I close the door, the dryer starts up. Is this most likely due to a bad on-switch? Thanks.

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Possibly

[@williamwaters4506]

Right to the point.

[@amishpat5201]

Many thanks.

[@Tumusica311]

I have changed that fuse 3 times it will start for 2 loads and then blows.Any suggestions?

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Blow out the dryer vent. I should’ve put that in this video sorry

[@GODS_21]

Right on🤝

Thank you

How long does a thermal fuse supposed to last? Because mine keeps blowing

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

If it keeps blowing you may have a clogged vent

[@5thsNGunz]

@@ApartmentMaintenancePro hey I’m sorry I found the issue was the black wire was brittle and broke off between the dryer and screw in

[@davidlampe4153]

Awesome

[@jenisestilsing2744]

i replaced the starter switch and the thermal fuse and it still wont start. Timer next??

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Trace out the power from the terminal until power is lost. More common areas would be the door switch

[@margecavitt7017]

Need to know how to remover to check start button has no knobs whilpool cabrio

[@mr.joshua204]

I replaced the heating element, all sensors, and now it won't turn on. The light comes one but won't turn

[@pamharris9667]

I'm trying to get the dryer to work but it still won't work

[@dallastexas007]

The door stayed open what?? 😅😅😅

[@ufartface]

there is a cause for fuse to blow- gotta find it

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

While this statement should be true…this dryer is still running fine 1.5 years later. These fuses definitely fail for no reason, especially being 20 years old
