Let me tell you, Hands down THE most helpful video I have ever watched. You were so easy to follow, down to earth w/out all the technical lingo, didn't talk to fast, & showed EVERY step. And even explained why! I'm still in awe about the reasoning for washing the lint trap & how the fabric softener builds up & can block flow. Nobody has ever mentioned that to me. You should know that you just saved my 84 yr old mother from having to buy a new dryer. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! = )
You saved my dryer! The grille with the holes at about 10:38 was completely smothered in a mat of lint more than an inch thick. But that wasn't why I had to disassemble. Pro tip: don't store a pile of markers on top of the dryer and then lose one down the lint screen slot. All better. Thank you!
I'm a 51 year old woman that would like to say thank you so much for taking the time to make this video! I appreciate you so much! My dryer is a hand-me-down and I had no idea how bad it was inside....Gross! Your video helped me to clean it up like brand new! I am going to share this video with friends so they can do the same.
I realize this instructional video is years old but I just wanted to thank you for it. Me and my husband followed your instructions and we now have a more efficient, safe dryer. God bless you for helping others!
I never post comments, but THIS was super super helpful! We live qn hour and half from any place that offers a repairman. Despite having a 5 year service plan nobody comes here...so, this desperate mom of two Littles decided to fix my own dryer after using the clothesline all summer long. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
One of the best DIY sessions I’ve done online. I don’t think I would have gotten this done without the great instruction. Very clear and thorough, and VERY MUCH appreciated.
Dryer needing multiple cycles - everything hot but wet. Was nervous and overwhelmed. This video made me feel this was totally doable. Thank you for posting!
As a single mother, I can not afford to hire someone to service my dryer. So, I came across your video, and even though the lint was not the reason behind my dryer not working, I figured, since I had it apart already, it wouldn't hurt to clean that out too. Turns out that this (used) dryer was SOOOOO Clogged with I don't know what.... including a pencil (go figure), that I can't believe I didn't have a fire! The bottom hole where everything settles was completely blocked! So, thank you so much for this video. I would never have known to clean this out, so thank you!!!! I hoping to find the reason behind no heat! Hopefully your other videos can help me with that! Wish me luck! Thank you so much!!!! Glad this video was easy to follow along!
Deanna Davis, Probably the exact same thing happened to my drier the other day. The lint blocked the wheel from turning as well and as a result it blew its high temperature safety thermostat that's at the top of my long heating element. The video I saw that walked me through testing all the different parts with a Ohms Meter said if the safety thermostat blows to go ahead and replace the lower operating thermostat also because it could have been damaged. My local appliance parts store sells them as a combo package. Good luck!
I've been troubleshooting and repairing my old Sears Kenmore gas dryer for almost 25 years now and I found that the burner valve solenoid coils can become weak over time. When this occurs there is not enough magnetism generated to hold the valve open and it will shut off. Just recently I had the flame ignite, burn for about a half minute, then shut off. I suspected the solenoid coils again; however, I had just replaced these only about five years ago. Turns out that the exhaust vent was completely blocked at the louvers outside the house. I removed the wad from the vent and now my dryer is back in service. Thank God I found this blockage and thanks to the manufacturer designed this machine to have temperature sensors in the dryers internal exhaust duct to monitor the temperature and shut down the machine if they sense a temperature above normal. We typically clean the lint screen; however, I had recently threw a bunch of burlap into the dryer after having washed it and I never experienced more of a mess than what this material made. I cleaned the lint screen and the next time I ran the dryer with normal fabrics in it is when the trouble began. A word of advise: don't run burlap in your machines. If you have the flame got out after a a short time, first check your vent for clogs as I had. You'll save a lot of time and money if that is the root of the problem.
@@terralimburg9979 I'm ashamed to admit that I hired someone to do it due to the discouragement of someone else in this house that this "couldn't possibly be the problem". As it turns out, it was exactly the problem. I think I would have been able to do it with the help of this video and been ok
@@melissaclaassen9707Don't be ashamed. Pay or diy, doesn't matter. Ik TWO separate households that burned up due to clogged up dyers. One actually caused a death.
I did it! Old Whirlpool Dryer! Took me all day, but plugged it back in and it worked! Hallelujah! Thank you so much for this thoroughly detailed how to video!!!
Thanks so much for the video! My husband works long hours and I try to get all of the work done around the house. Just finished cleaning my dryer for the first time. Thanks for going step by step and explaining everything. Super appreciate people that post videos like these! 🖤🖤
Thank you for posting this. You did an excellent job explaining completely and even showing exactly what you were doing close up. This is exactly what I wanted to know how to do to my old dryer. And guess what? The dryer in this video is my dryer too!! Made it even easier to understand and follow. My dryer had a lot more lint than the one in this video! Thanks again. Hoping this will help my old dryer last another twenty years. Fingers crossed 🤞
This just saved me a lot of money. Our 15 yo Kenmore need 3 cycles to dry a load. I cleaned the duct work to the outside but it didn't seem to make much difference. Was looking at a replacement when I found your vid. Followed your steps and discovered a completely plugged housing. Start to finish less than an hour. Thank you so much!
This was very helpful to me. After removing the back I found I had a build up of lint in the chute and clumped lint in blower fan. Cleaning this out fixed the vibration problem but I still had a thump-thump each rotation of the drum. Taking apart the front, I discovered a small amount of compressed lint in the roller groove which hit each roller every rotation. I scraped it out with a butter knife and reassembled. Thumping is now gone and unit runs smoothly. Thank you for this video as it gave me the confidence to disassemble my dryer and save an expensive service call.
Thank you so much for the vid on clearing the lint out of my 23 y/o Whirlpool dryer! I appreciated your discussion of reasons for the dryer taking so much longer to dry the clothes and decided lint buildup might be the problem. It was very easy for this 60+ y/o lady to follow your instructions and clear out the packed lint at the bottom of the lint trap. Given the age of my dryer, the lint trap housing foam seal just kind of broke apart and fell off when I removed the housing. The condition of the foam seal around the blower housing wasn't much better (dry and compressed). After a brief search online for my model's parts, I found the necessary replacement part names and where to order. I'm fortunate where I live to have an appliance parts store near by and was able to pick them both up for just under $20. I dried a load of clothes last night and drying time was back to normal!! Thanks again!
Many thanks for this video as it helped me avoid a service call of over $200! I am very grateful and proud that I could do this. I did not even know what a ratchet was before.
Thank you for this video. I got three vacuum canisters of lint out of my dryer and I was able to take apart and reassemble. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Simply amazing! Thank you so much for making this video! I was able to fixed my dryer and cleaned it up completely! I learned something new and a save a couple hundred dollars! Thank you! God bless you!
Great vid! I started out thinking "this guy takes forever to get started." I ended up knowing he not only tells you how to do it, but WHY you need to do it. and explaining the locations of the temp switch and circuit fuse is onemore thing that makes Blake impressive.
Great job! My dryer is now working great and I couldn't have fixed it without you! My only snag were a few small differences in my dryer, but nothing I couldn't figure out. Just wanted to say thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Omgoodness thank you for this tutorial! I was loading my dryer with a blanket and then remembered to clean out my lint trap and when I pulled the lint trap out, the lint fell back down the shoot! I tried to stick a wire hanger (that I fashioned into a hook )down to pull it up but no cigar 😢. So I googled and came across your vid. All I can say is thank you for breaking it down because I didnt know what to do besides calling whirlpool. But I got my handy-dandy Ikea tool kit, and pulled my dryer forward out of the laundry 7:35 closet and followed you step by step so I could get into the lint container. My dryer is new so the only thing that needed cleaning was to get the sheet of lint out of the metal shoot! Took me an hour because I was more afraid of loosing all the screws lol!! So i put them in a cup. And Joila! Everything is put back together and my blanket is now drying!! Thank you so much!
Thank you for posting this video. It is extremely thorough and you do an excellent job at explaining things. The best video about how to clean lint out of a dryer. In addition to vent cleaning, the actual dryer needs to be cleaned of lint, too. So thank you.
This was a VERY GOOD explanation of dryer maintenance. I've cleaned gas dryers with the lint catch located at bottom of opening for loading clothes. When my neighbor was throwing out a dryer like you worked on, but gas, I grabbed it to take apart. Was a good learning experience. I would use a length of rubber hose, 3/4 inch car heater hose to reach into dryer to vacuum it out, this worked well for periodic maintenance. One should ALWAYS clean lint trap after each use.
He's great! explains well and thorough and I just love it that he is using an old model just like mine, not those fancy front loaders! ~ for those of us who take care of things and not buy new every time something malfunctions, just some TLC on simple machinery! thanks Blake!!
Just an outstanding job on dryer maintenance. Thank You for taking the time to make this video. I will begin doing my dryer today using your information to do a complete job. Excellent!
You Saved me! Dryer stopped drying and your Wonderful Video allowed grandma to take apart my dryer with no help and clean all that lint out + DRYER sheets! How can they get thru? Thank You! I would have believed I needed a new dryer!.... PS. No More dryer sheets! Gonna use those woolen balls from now on....and I tested my screen like you showed us. Totally clogged with dryer sheet fabric softener. Don't think my dryer worked this good brand new!
Awesome video. Cleaning out a maytag gas dryer that isn't drying everything completely. Just needed to see how to take everything apart to clean all the lint out.
great video very thorough. Thanks for not starting the demo after the back panel was removed like some other video channels. I needed to see you remove the two two screws under the lint trap. Thanks
Thank you so much for this! I was able to do it myself and found a pair of earrings I'd been missing AND a freshwater pearl. Plus it was fun and now my husband thinks I'm cool for handling it. 😃
Thanks -- fantastic video. My dryer stopped working the other day -- turns out it was a blown thermal fuse. Unlike many other videos on this subject, you show how to really clean the back of the dryer. To others, I would also add this: I bought one of those brushes for cleaning out the vent -- the problem, however, was that there was so much lint in there (I'm lucky I didn't have a fire) that the brush simply kept pushing it up. So I took the blower off my shop vac, attached the tubes that I use for blowing leaves, and went outside to the vent opening and blew the air back into the house. Well, I could have upholstered a couch with the amount of lint I got out of there! So if you have a blown thermal fuse, REALLY REALLY make sure that vent is open and clear.
This helped greatly including the tip about tipping the dryer to remove the duct. Found tons of lint and dirt in the dryer as well as the dryer vent. I will be doing this much more often! My dryer is drying clothes again in a normal amount of time!
Great video! My favorite part was digging through the junk in the air chute although I was disappointed no Barbie shoes LOL. I will get after my drawer tomorrow. Thanks so much for explaining so completely.
Great vid helped me gut out this whirlpool dryer, clean it right out to like new. One of the drum roller wheels was jammed and to my surprise it was full of long hair, the other one was also, I popped them off and with some tweezers got every last strand of hair out. Actually long hair is in the built in vac and seems to show up all over the house and its not from a shaggy dog. We have long haired females in the house, I showed them what happened and they will be more diligent with the hairbrush. Excellent job with your video cant thank you enough, I've always been allergic to appliance repairs, not so with motor vehicles, go figure!
Thanks for the video. You helped me a lot. However, you forgot to mention that the felt on the drum needs to ride over the metal. If any part is tucked under, the drum will not spin correctly. This was my problem. It took a little searching on youtube, but I found the solution. You might want to update your video to reflect this. It could cause people a lot of frustration. Anyhow, the rest of your video was outstanding. Thanks.
Thank you. I'm about to go clean my dryer and I'm going to do a much better job now. I wouldn't have even considered opening the front and you didn't convince me until I saw the motor. The pulley thing kind of scares me, but I'll take a picture or 5 to help. Something tells me my dryer is going to be bad. Very bad. Thanks again!
I feel exactly the same way! The whole drum-pully & lid harness thing are a bit intimidating to me & a deterrent. But after seeing that filthy motor PLUS reading someone's review about long hair wrapped around the wheels it's getting me to want to go for it!
My dryer is less than 2 years old and was taking too long to dry. I suspect my vent was way too long and having 4 dogs doesn't help either. Thanks, 7 years later this still works
I've barely gotten into this but I'm really glad to have found it. I already know my issue. LINT...and a lot of it. Some torn items went in that I stupidly wanted to salvage...so the dryer (and washer) kind of get rid of all of the excess and leave the main parts intact. Problem is I definitely had too much excess/ shredded stuff coming off in there. Hopefully this will help me to clean it myself...or I'll know exactly what to request of my service guy. Thank you for your video. Again...barely into it but I appreciate how thoroughly your explaining things right off the bat 👍
I've watched a lot of good videos on how to clean the dryer venting, but none showed or mentioned cleaning the blower motor which I have found also needs cleaned. Fortunately, the blower motor is accessible behind the panel at the bottom front of my Whirlpool Cabrio dryer. I use an old toothbrush to clean the blades of the blower motor. Thanks for addressing this.
Great video, very helpful. Watched another that showed me how to make repair. I had same model as in this video and was easy to learn from to get it cleaned out.
Yes, Dryer Model #11096281100. In this video, you show the dryer lint screen shoot, coming out after removing the 2 screws on top under the screen door and the 4 screws at the bottom on the shoot. I had to remove the front panel, the drum and remove the 4 screws at the top of the dryer bulkhead, pull the bulkhead forward in order to remove the outlet shoot. Thank You
That's a lot of debris! I always tell my family to empty pockets before tossing laundry. Have a wire vent brush, mask and vacuum ready for clean up. I thoroughly cleaned mine after 16 years. Man, half of the duct is covered. Scary fire hazard. Nice video.
Cool video...the old me would think "if dryer is taking 2 hrs to dry my stuff, then it's time for a new dryer.". New me thinks "I (think) I can fix it". I'll see if I need to replace my thermostat when I open it up.
I’ve been fixing things since I was a kid. Still doing it in my 60s. However, with UA-cam, it is way, way easier to get info. When I first fixed a burned out over limit fuse on my dryer, I had to mail away to the manufacturer for the tech manual !!! Much easier now. 😂. Best wishes in your future endeavors!
I'm watching this while at work and it's making me anxious lol I rent and have a used dryer and I'm sure it wasn't cleaned before we moved in 9 months ago. I need to go home and clean it immediately lmao

This was my problem. It took a little searching on youtube, but I found the solution. You might want to update your video to reflect this. It could cause people a lot of frustration. Anyhow, the rest of your video was outstanding. Thanks.
Fantastic video. Only one I could find that went into detail for cleaning this style of dryer. thanks!
This is so informative! My dryer is taking forever to dry clothes. I'm gonna try this for sure! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for making this video! This helped us with our dryer! ❤
Thank you. I'm about to go clean my dryer and I'm going to do a much better job now. I wouldn't have even considered opening the front and you didn't convince me until I saw the motor. The pulley thing kind of scares me, but I'll take a picture or 5 to help. Something tells me my dryer is going to be bad. Very bad. Thanks again!
I feel exactly the same way! The whole drum-pully & lid harness thing are a bit intimidating to me & a deterrent. But after seeing that filthy motor PLUS reading someone's review about long hair wrapped around the wheels it's getting me to want to go for it!
Excellent excellent video you just saved me from buying a new dryer! Thank you sir!
My dryer is less than 2 years old and was taking too long to dry. I suspect my vent was way too long and having 4 dogs doesn't help either. Thanks, 7 years later this still works
I’m going to do this today, video is explained very well,
I've barely gotten into this but I'm really glad to have found it. I already know my issue. LINT...and a lot of it. Some torn items went in that I stupidly wanted to salvage...so the dryer (and washer) kind of get rid of all of the excess and leave the main parts intact. Problem is I definitely had too much excess/ shredded stuff coming off in there. Hopefully this will help me to clean it myself...or I'll know exactly what to request of my service guy. Thank you for your video. Again...barely into it but I appreciate how thoroughly your explaining things right off the bat 👍
You just saved me a ton of money! Thanks!
I've watched a lot of good videos on how to clean the dryer venting, but none showed or mentioned cleaning the blower motor which I have found also needs cleaned. Fortunately, the blower motor is accessible behind the panel at the bottom front of my Whirlpool Cabrio dryer. I use an old toothbrush to clean the blades of the blower motor. Thanks for addressing this.
Extremely helpful and well explained. Thank you so much 🙏
Excellent video. Thanks much
Great video. Very informative.
Best dryer vid!
This video was exactly what I needed. Thank you.
Exactly the type of vid. that I needed, thanks for taking the time.
this man is a saint!! thank you good sir
Thanks! Excellent, we all appreciate you sharing!
excellent video.........this guy is right on.........to a tee........thanks again
Great video, very helpful. Watched another that showed me how to make repair. I had same model as in this video and was easy to learn from to get it cleaned out.
Yes, Dryer Model #11096281100. In this video, you show the dryer lint screen shoot, coming out after removing the 2 screws on top under the screen door and the 4 screws at the bottom on the shoot. I had to remove the front panel, the drum and remove the 4 screws at the top of the dryer bulkhead, pull the bulkhead forward in order to remove the outlet shoot. Thank You
Thanks my hubby had a stroke so I needed to learn to do this
Sorry to here hubby had a stroke..hope he is doing better now
Thanks for your video. Found where the dryer was clogged and I am back to 45 minute dying times instead of 5 hours lol.
Great video and I love the element segment video as well.
Thk you for that tip on cleaning the lint filter👍👍
Really enjoyed this video!
Thank you for making this video. I cant believe i fixed something.
TheGaryVbrand It feels really good when you can tackle things this important doesn't it Mr. Gary? 'Ive been on a deep cleaning kick lately.
Ksha Monroe puts things in perspective for sure.
Very well done. Tk you so, so much. Amazing very well explained. Tk you!!!
Thank you! Great video. I have never attempted to work on a dryer. I think I can clean the lint out!
That's a lot of debris! I always tell my family to empty pockets before tossing laundry. Have a wire vent brush, mask and vacuum ready for clean up. I thoroughly cleaned mine after 16 years. Man, half of the duct is covered. Scary fire hazard. Nice video.
Thank you so much! Worked like a charm!
I am sooooooo thankful for your video. I lost something through the vent and needed to figure out how to get it out. This video was very helpful
Very good video. Thanks for showing us this!
Thank you so much I cleaned my dryer up nicely just didn't do the drum as I wasn't that confident.
I’m soo happy I found your sight!! 💜
Grate instructors thank you very much my dryer is working grate.🙏
I wish your business was located in my area. You are fantastic.
Excellent video
Cool video...the old me would think "if dryer is taking 2 hrs to dry my stuff, then it's time for a new dryer.". New me thinks "I (think) I can fix it". I'll see if I need to replace my thermostat when I open it up.
I’ve been fixing things since I was a kid. Still doing it in my 60s. However, with UA-cam, it is way, way easier to get info. When I first fixed a burned out over limit fuse on my dryer, I had to mail away to the manufacturer for the tech manual !!! Much easier now. 😂. Best wishes in your future endeavors!
I'm watching this while at work and it's making me anxious lol I rent and have a used dryer and I'm sure it wasn't cleaned before we moved in 9 months ago. I need to go home and clean it immediately lmao
Thanks so much! I believe I will have mine done by someone who does it a lot. 😃
Thanks finally have a working dryer. God bless
I have a Westinghouse dryer. My lint trap is in the front. Now I want to do this after watching the video!
