    Thank you! I’m a retired nana, living alone. Because of your excellent video I was able to diagnose and fix the problem (heating unit) ordered part from Amazon, cost $26. You also helped me understand how to use the voltage meter. It feels good to be self sufficient.

    61 year old Grandma here! This is by far the best repair video I have seen! My Daddy, (miss him so much,) taught me to do many things and I had a general idea of how to replace a dryer element, but wanted to see details and to make sure I do it safely. Thank you for this wonderful, simple explanation!

    I’ve replaced a thermal fuse a few times. My dryer just stopped heating. Checked the fuse and the fuse was good. The heating element had a broke. Coil. I had never fixed this before and wouldn’t have known how to diagnose this without your video. I was surprised how easy it was to fix. The appliance store I went to had the exact part as it’s a pretty common part for a lot of models. Thank you so much for this video.

      So I watched this video, found the complete kit on Amazon for $36, it was delivered this evening at 5:30 pm, finished supper went out into the garage and replaced all the parts this gentleman pointed out, the dial tested good so didn’t mess with that. Cleaned it up real good and now it’s running fine and blowing hot air.
      Total down time less than 10 hours, total price $36!!!

    Thanks so much for being so thorough. I had issues with our old dryer. Checked for any lint clogs & cleared out vent hose. Nothing really filled in there. Then, checked thermal fuse. Good. Checked Door switch = super loose & not connecting, so got new door switch. Fixed the problem of dryer not turning back on.
    Then, the dryer isn't drying the clothes. It does heat up, but doesn't completely dry the clothes. Going to check the heating elements you so kindly explained here & will try to fix the issue. Thanks so much!
    Simple fixes, but without a professional giving tips & tricks, pretty lost, lol. And, hard to find anyone local that does this sort of work. Glad to pay someone else, but can't get ahold of anyone. Good learning experience myself.

  • @melissa5992
    @melissa5992 Рік тому +2

    This was AWESOME! I had already fixed the tumbler (wasn't moving- it was a belt issue). When I opened up the back to do a diagnosis found that it was filled with lint! Turns out I just needed to vacuum it and clean off the terminals. Luckily my house didn't catch on fire! LOL. But this is GREAT because now I know how to diagnose issues in the future, and will do better maintenance on the dryer from here on out.

  • @ukeukeaduke
    @ukeukeaduke 5 місяців тому +1

    Thanks for the excellent tutorial. I have the exact same model. I had already taken the back off yesterday and found the thermostat that you replaced was bad. When you went through how to test all the other possible causes for no heat after locating the faulty element, I realized that I hadn't checked the high heat thermostat at top of the duct. I will test that to make sure. Thanks again.
