Thanks for the detailed breakdown, I think the capacitor is my exact problem and now I know how to check it. Great video!

[@NowFixit]

Thanks! Hope replacing it gets your machine going! Cheers, Phil

I have the same dryer it will start ok but about 20mins in to the cycle it will stop, but the heating element will keep heating, bad drum motor ? IV stopped using it because it got really hot luckily I was around and noticed it had stopped so went and checked

[@derek-press]

great video and saved for future repairs ,when needed , and yes those capacitors are nasty stuff, be careful folks! I know from experience ;) ,actually got a "sting" from one while trying to repair my garden water pump,it was "good morning Derek!!!!!"

[@NowFixit]

Ha ha, we’ve all done it! Glad you’re none the worse for wear. I don’t think the capacitors are dangerous as such but as you say, will give you a wake up call! Thanks for saving the video, I’m sure you’ll experience this issue with one of your machines at some point… cheers, Phil

Had two plastic blocks fall off door where to they go !

[@NowFixit]

Sorry, no blocks fell down when I did it, so I’m not sure where they came from. Somewhere in the door I presume? Cheers, Phil

[@canin4881]

Don't try this at home? That's the whole point! We want to fix it ourselves.

[@NowFixit]

Ha ha! Yes! Usually people know that really means: “Try this at your own risk ⚠️ and be careful! And if you aren’t sure, don’t do it!” Doesn’t roll off the tongue quite as easily though….
