Thank You so much. The first 48 seconds of your video saved me $700. I was just about to by a new dryer and then I checked the little door switch you were referring to, and it was just jammed in a little. I flipped it in the right direction, shut the door and my clothes are drying right now. THANK YOU! This made a difference in our family budget this month. It means so much to us.
Thanks for posting this. Was able to diagnose the issue on my own and replace the broken switch for $25. Our dryer is 18 years old and we've been able to repair every single issue thanks to videos like yours.
I want to send a HUGE thanks for taking the time to make this video. We were about to spend a lot of money on a service all or another dryer. Luckily I found your video. We followed your easy steps and determined it was the thermal fuse. $7 and a two-day wait for amazon and we are up and running again (we bought a three-pack just in case). I cannot thank you enough!
By watching this video, I was able to fix my dryer for less than $2. I am a single mother and every dime counts. I was ready to buy a new dryer, but I am so glad that I took the time to watch the video. The repair was easy to do. My problem was the thermal fuse. Thank you so much!!!
You're the best!!. Mine stop spinning. It's been down since October or maybe before. I didn't have $150 to pay the repair man so I ordered the thermal fuse $8 for 2 off Amazon. It's working fine. Single mom on a budget! ❤💪💪
That’s great news I just came across this video post I’m no handy man 👨 by no means so I grab a tester and gave it a try and by all means it’s was definitely the fuse 🤣 old dinosaur dryer!!!!
Thank you so much!!! I can now add an , "I replace the thermal fuse on my dryer," to my list of badassery! Thank you for doing these videos and making them so easy to follow.
You just saved my 23 yr old Whirlpool dryer. My wife was already convinced that we need to replace the pair with a $2000 upgrade. Replaced the thermal fuse and cleaned the piles of lint out. Good as new. Thank you!
Thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to make this video. I followed your instructions and was able to repair my dryer (thermal sensor) for a mere $10.78! Holy moly was I happy and proud!! Again, THANK YOU, Sir!
Found the issue to be my thermal link/fuse!!!! Took like 6 minutes to diagnose and $5 on amazon… should be up and running tomorrow!!!!! Thank you!!!!! Saved a ton of dollars!!!!!
Adam I was online at home Depot about to buy a new dryer your video just saved me 700$. The door switch!!!! Thank you for being so helpful for free!!!!!!
I WENT WITHOUT MY DRYER FOR 4 MONTHS AND MY PLAN WAS TO BUY A NEW ONE TODAY BUT BEFORE I TRIED BUYING ANOTHER ONE, I STUMBLED ACROSS YOUR VIDEO AND IT HAPPEN TO JUST BE MY DOOR ON THE DRYER & YES IT'S WORKING NOW... .🤗🤗🤗 NOT ONLY THAT U JUST SAVED ME, SOME MONEY THANK U SO MUCH....
Thanks for this! Your simple, clear explanation saved me a repair bill. In my case, the door safety switch had worn out. Two thoughts: 1) Before opening the dryer lid, wrap tape around the stiff knife so the knife cannot scratch the dryer. 2) Because our children are grown and almost gone, I felt comfortable doing very simple wiring to bypass the safety switch altogether. The broken switch was screwed on so tightly that I couldn't unscrew the doggone thing anyway.
bypass the switch or the fuse? you should never use your dryer without fuse.... only for testing purpose if you can't test it otherwise.. you will burn your house...
Thank you Adam. My dryer stopped working and since it is 12 years old we figured we'd just get a new one instead of paying to get it fixed. We couldn't get a new one delivered for a week so I thought about searching UA-cam for a solution and came across your video. Your video is great - you go slowly and show every step. My husband did the work but I probably could have done it myself as you made it look so easy. It was the thermal fuse so we fixed it for $19. Afterwards a friend recommended that we should have changed the belts while we have it apart so I wanted to pass that on. Thank you much!!!
I wanted to say THANK YOU thank you so so much . I can’t believe it. I bought the thermal fuse after testing it and paid $3.59. I thought I was going to be buying a new dryer. Thank you for your video. I appreciate it so very much
Thank you!!! I'm a new widow and your video was spot on and helped me fix my dryer myself 🙂 I had to buy a new multimeter as my husband's wouldn't work ($20 at Walmart) and a set of 3 thermal fuses (which was the problem) for $6.02 on Amazon). Last week I spent time cleaning the lint out of the dryer duct inside the wall and used the rotary lint eater brush set and the brush came off up inside the wall but after the majority of the day and enlisting a friend to help, we finally got that out using one of the rods from the brush set tired to the hook end of a wire clothes hanger. Then the next day I got caught up on laundry (4 loads) and when I went to put the last load in the dryer out wouldn't turn on. I was frustrated to say the least. Then I found your video. Thank you thank you!!! Now I'm saying a prayer that my dryer is good to go for a long time after this 🙂
All of a sudden dryer stopped working. My wife thought of buying a new one until we saw your video. Checked the continuity and realized there is none on the thermal fuse. We ordered one. That fixed the problem with only a few dollars. Thanks a lot and we really appreciate it.
Dryer wouldn't turn on. Watched your video. Narrowed it down to the thermal fuse. If you're reading this comment and need a fuse don't waste your time going to Lowe's like I did. They don't sell replacement parts. Order from Amazon. $6 for 3 fuses. Fuse fixed my problem. Dryer runs great now. Thanks for your help!!
Thermal fuse is what was wrong with mine. You are a life saver. You just saved me HUNDREDS with this video. I went through all the steps too. Thank you.
Thank you. You saved me some money. My Maytag dryer stopped working. Watched your video. My door switch had an audible click when depressed. Did a continuity check on the start switch and it was good. Did a continuity check on my thermal switch and it had an open. Put on a new thermal switch and the dryer started working as normal. Thanks again.
Thank you!!! It was the thermal fuse. Mine is a Roper (by Whirlpool) that I bought brand new 22 years ago. This is the 3rd repair that I've made on it, and all were EXTREMELY cheap parts to buy.
A quick test for the power/start button: on some units if you press and hold that button with the unit plugged in, you can hear the faint motor noise of the timer, since presumably your drum is no longer running at this point. Not all units will have a electro-mechanical timer mechanism, but it's a very fast test; if you hear something, your start button is not likely at fault.
Yes, that is exactly what I hear, a very faint motor noise when I’m pushing the start button which usually turns on the dryer. I don’t think you said how or what to replace. Did anyone else hear if he said how to fix or R&R that part by chance?
Big huge Thank you for making this video! Your video showed me step by step what to check. Boom fixed my dryer with a thermal fuse. You Saved this single woman a ton of money. Thank you again!
Omg I’m so glad I found your video. I almost called a repair man, but tried your method of the thermal fuse and it worked!! Had to order online but got it the next day through Amazon. Also, I am glad I took the back off because lint was EVERYWHERE, surprised it didn’t catch fire lbvs. Now my dryer is like new. Thank you for this video. Saved me so much money and didn’t take long at all
Thank you!!! I broke out the multimeter and it was the thermal fuse. Picked one up and we’re back in business. You saved me $80 service call plus the work. Feel like I should send you a cheque.
Thank you for troubleshooting tips. I just fixed my maytag dryer. It was the thermal fuse. I replaced it and now it is working like a champ. I spent 15 dollars!!!!
Excellent presentation! And I just now went back to the dryer--a screw was laying on the opened dryer door, earlier this morning. I wondered where it came from since I had not washed anything with pockets. So I went and retrieved it and messed around getting the screws aligned so it would screw tight. And WAHLA! It's working again. My dryer is VERY old--like the one you are demo-ing on. So VERY HELPFUL!!
Thanks, Adam and all the other's who post these DYI video's!!! It was the thermal switch which went bad as you described. In years past it might have meant either a repairman or a new appliance. With your video, I am that repairman and the new switch will arrive in two days. I've repaired / replaced (*) lawnmower parts (*) refrigerator fan units (*) sliding car door assemblies and so many more household repairs saving me untold dollars and making me a better man - bring it on - - MANY THANKS!!!
If you change a blown thermal fuse, you should also change the temperature sensor just below it. It could be the cause of the blown thermal fuse. Also, thanks for the nice tip about the Appliance Epoxy paint.
@@CountryBlessingz My guess is you have a blockage or obstruction in the exhaust hose and/or a clogged vent. Or are pushing air through too long a length of hose. Or have a build up of lint somewhere inside impeding the air flow. Maybe a faulty exhaust fan or broken blades on the exhaust fan. Is it in an air tight room? Could you be overloading it? If none of these corrects the problem, double check you are installing the correct temperature fuse. Also, you might change the temperature control thermostat, it might be sticking occasionally.
Thank you!! You helped me save a lot of money! It was just that clicky thing that indicates if the door is open or closed. For some reason (probably because it’s old) the door wasn’t catching it in the right position to click it every time. So simple to fix! Thank you!! -Single mom of two little ones
Thank you very much. This is a long overdue for helping me 2 years ago (04/02/22) when I came across your video. I bought 3 Thermal fuse and a start switch and have used all of them and the last fuse just today (08/01/24). Thank you so much again.
Absolutely outstanding DYI video that covers the basic problem solving of a dryer. Thank you for making it so easy to repair! Fixed my old Whirlpool in a hour!
Wow . I always fix all my appliances myself . This was a new problem that I have never encountered . Took me 5 minutes to to test the door switch , start switch and finally the thermal fuse which was blown ! . Thanks to you and my trusty meter for saving the day !
THANK YOU! I had a mini meltdown until the first thing to check in your video was exactly the problem with my dryer. One day (and a new switch) later, I'm back in business. THANK YOU!
Thank you sir, 5 year after and you still saved my dryer. It was just the start button that was malfunctioning, so i just soldered another one and it worked just fine!
Thank you so much!!! I’m leaving for vacation tomorrow and trying to do laundry so I can pack and the very first thing you showed got me fixed!! I’ll still have to replace the switch when I get back but I at least got it going for now!
In my case, the dryer mad an odd sound when I pushed the start button, then nothing. The inside light works, so the breaker is ok. I found the door switch, pushed it a few times, tried the srtat button again. The dryer started!!! Bless the Lord! And thank you! Subbed, liked, and shared.
This video literally just saved me from buying a new dryer ,,,,,,,,, blown thermal fuse which took me 10 min to replace! And I'm not handy! Awesome job 👍
Thank you so much for your video. Our problem was the thermal fuse. Thought we would have to buy a new dryer. So grateful that you share your knowledge.
Thanks to saving my money, I already buy the orther dryer, but after following your introduction, my dryer worked. I was cancelled the new one. Thanks again
I could not thank you enough for putting this video up and teaching me how to do this you saved me hundreds of dollars that I cannot afford to spend your a lifesaver
I enjoy your video mister Adam. Maybe your not "a specialist" but like me, i am a all around w-e mechanic. Every youtube video are there to help those wo are willing to put their hands in dirt. At the end of the day=That killed a lot of "supposed to be specialist guy". Have a nice day folks!!
OMG 😱 you won’t believe, I just finished watching this video & thought i should give it a last try & went to see dryer, with first step help, touched that door switch & clicked it twice & checked, the dryer started running !!!! Thank you 🙏🏾 Namaste all 🙏🏾
The estimate to fix my dryer was 200 dollars. I ordered the on/ff lever and replaced it in 15 minutes. You saved me 170 dollars. The only thing I did different was to just raise the lid without removing it since I only needed access to the lever. Thanks!!
Good video. It's nice, your ometer has a beeping sound, but for those who don't have that, an open line/OL is the fuse blown .. If you're on ohms and you touch your leads together, you will see different continuity numbers going through them..
Thanks Adam! I absolutely love your videos! You've made Me quite the "Woman" of the House! I just look up what I have a problem with and You have been "The One" to go to! I can't Thank You enough! (I do wish My husband knew just a little bit but He's struck out in the "Fix It" anything! His solution is to go buy a new one!! NOT!! I can fix it!! You've taught Me to not be afraid to check things out! And at least Try! I watch ALL Your Videos! If I can't help Myself, I can try to help Someone else! You make it simple! Thanks Adam!
Took the fuse off, took it to parts store and they tested it and said it was bad. I got a new one, installed it and it worked. My wife thinks I am a genius. Many thanks!
Omg thank you for this video, got exact the same dryer and the door switch gave up. Ended up removing the switch and just joined the wires and dryer is back to working. Thank you!
Thank you for the presentation. this video helped me determine why my dryer is not turning on. Although I was a little hesitant about fixing it myself after seeing all the wires when looking into the control panel I challenged myself and found that the timer was blown. I ordered the part and when it arrived I replaced the wire the same way it was mounted and holy crap the dryer works again. It saved me $150-$300.
Got it. Figured out how to use the multi meter. Rewatching your video and now it's clear. Thanks for your post. Definitely recommend to purchase a multi meter with the beep feature. Reading the screen whilst holding the leads is a juggle. LOL😊
Wow.. the first thing you pointed out was exactly my issue. Actually the button was jammed, I popped it out and closed the door and she’s good as new! Thanks bro!
Thanks for the great video man! You didn’t fix my dryer but you gave me the courage to give it a try 😎. The problem was the door switch, so rather then buy a new one. I decided to take the old one apart and clean up the connection... success!
My on/off, signal switch also wasn't making a clicking noise, like a door might not. I took it out and after trying to figure out how to use my mulitmeter with it I noticed it was clicking now. Put it back in and it worked. Thank you!
You are the 🐐 man been trying to figure out how to fix this thing for days and almost bought another one and watched this video and fixed it in 5 secs. THANK YOU SOO MUCH ! 👍🏾
Thank you for this! It wasn’t any of these but they were a great place to start. I ended up wiggling each of the connections after testing these three things and that solved it.
Thanks so much - my very old dryer stopped working and your video helped me fix it! I ordered a door switch on Amazon for $9 and installed it. One tip - when I was taking off the old switch, I didn't realize the casing was separate from the switch and I dropped it into the bottom of the dryer. I had to buy a magnet on a stick tool to get it out. :-)
Thanks for the tip on checking the door safety switch. I thought it was either the on button or thermal fuse. Turns out both were fine. Half the plastic part broke off and wasn't making contact with the door. By pushing in what was left, the dryer started right up. A $7 part will keep my 20+ year dryer running smooth. I also like the tip on refinishing the top. Mine is showing its age!
Great advice my problem was the starter switch wasn’t seated right and the button wasn’t depressing the switch. Wife was after me for a new dryer saved me hundreds of dollars. Subbed and liked…

Have a nice day folks!!
OMG 😱 you won’t believe, I just finished watching this video & thought i should give it a last try & went to see dryer, with first step help, touched that door switch & clicked it twice & checked, the dryer started running !!!! Thank you 🙏🏾 Namaste all 🙏🏾
The estimate to fix my dryer was 200 dollars. I ordered the on/ff lever and replaced it in 15 minutes. You saved me 170 dollars. The only thing I did different was to just raise the lid without removing it since I only needed access to the lever. Thanks!!
This video was incredibly helpful! It helped me determine our thermal fuse had gone bad, and I replaced it easily and cheaply by myself. Thank you!!!
I'm hoping that's all that is wrong with mine!
Thank you so much, I just fixed my dryer for less than ten dollars thanks to you. You are a great teacher and I’m grateful for this video
Good video. It's nice, your ometer has a beeping sound, but for those who don't have that, an open line/OL is the fuse blown .. If you're on ohms and you touch your leads together, you will see different continuity numbers going through them..
Thanks to you, I located the problem in less than 10 minutes. A replacement thermal fuse plus a couple of spares are on their way,
Thanks so much for posting this video. My dryer is used and going on 8 plus years old. Just a few new replacement & the unit is good to go!!! ✌🏿🙏🏿
Thermal Fuse blown. Replaced with Amazon part. Solved my issue in 10 minutes. Thanks so much.
You cost me $16 for a thermal fuse. God only knows how much you saved me!!! Thanks
Thanks Adam! I absolutely love your videos! You've made Me quite the "Woman" of the House! I just look up what I have a problem with and You have been "The One" to go to! I can't Thank You enough! (I do wish My husband knew just a little bit but He's struck out in the "Fix It" anything! His solution is to go buy a new one!! NOT!! I can fix it!! You've taught Me to not be afraid to check things out! And at least Try! I watch ALL Your Videos! If I can't help Myself, I can try to help Someone else! You make it simple! Thanks Adam!
Thank you Bev. I love your confidence! Half the challenge in building or repair is confidence!
AdamDIY exactly confidence is the key to everything
Thanks Nice Video i bought a 6 dollar fuse and fixed my dryer thanks alot saved alot of money by doing it myself
Took the fuse off, took it to parts store and they tested it and said it was bad. I got a new one, installed it and it worked. My wife thinks I am a genius. Many thanks!
Years later this video is still helpful. Thought my Roper dryer was down, 6$ Amazon Thermal fuse fixed it!
Omg thank you for this video, got exact the same dryer and the door switch gave up. Ended up removing the switch and just joined the wires and dryer is back to working. Thank you!
Thank you for the presentation. this video helped me determine why my dryer is not turning on. Although I was a little hesitant about fixing it myself after seeing all the wires when looking into the control panel I challenged myself and found that the timer was blown. I ordered the part and when it arrived I replaced the wire the same way it was mounted and holy crap the dryer works again. It saved me $150-$300.
This video made me an appliance repair woman lol. I fixed m dryer myself in 15 minutes with a $7 part. Thank you!
Got it. Figured out how to use the multi meter. Rewatching your video and now it's clear. Thanks for your post. Definitely recommend to purchase a multi meter with the beep feature. Reading the screen whilst holding the leads is a juggle. LOL😊
Wow.. the first thing you pointed out was exactly my issue. Actually the button was jammed, I popped it out and closed the door and she’s good as new! Thanks bro!
Thank you for this video. It was the thermal fuse for me. 30 bucks for the multimeter, 6 for the fuse. Beats calling a repair man.
Bro i fixed the issue within 50 seconds of watching this video thank you so much 🤟🏿
Great and helpful video. Would not have known to check that fuse, or eaven know about it. That was bad on my dryer. Got it all fixed. Thanks
U just helped me save over $100 cause my thermal fuse is bad! Thanks bro!
I just ordered 4 for $7!
This was so helpful! 30 seconds in the video and I found my plastic switch broken off. Huge lifesaver!!
Thanks for the great video man! You didn’t fix my dryer but you gave me the courage to give it a try 😎. The problem was the door switch, so rather then buy a new one. I decided to take the old one apart and clean up the connection... success!
Thanks so much for this video!! Saved me hundreds!!! Wow, easy as a replacement fuse 🤯🤯🥳🥳🥳
Omg! I just went and checked the door latch and it was just hanging. Thank u so much, I'll try to fix it by the weekend😀
Mine just looks exactly like what you've just described ....LOL
Thank you so much. I'm going to home depot tomorrow to get a thermal fuse. Great video.
I just saved a few hundred bucks from the first minute of your video. Thank you so much!!!!
Awesome! Thermal Fuse replaced and it works again! Thank you!!!
Thank you very much The part cost me $17 and it saved me almost $250 in labor parts and a repair guy
OMG. It was the fuse. Got mine at amazon too. Saved a bunch of money. Thank you!!!!
My on/off, signal switch also wasn't making a clicking noise, like a door might not. I took it out and after trying to figure out how to use my mulitmeter with it I noticed it was clicking now. Put it back in and it worked. Thank you!
Perfect! Thank you! I was going to buy a new dryer but you helped me fix mine myself!
You are the 🐐 man been trying to figure out how to fix this thing for days and almost bought another one and watched this video and fixed it in 5 secs. THANK YOU SOO MUCH ! 👍🏾
Perfect! Gave the ol trum a turn and she’s going again! Thank you!
Thank you for this! It wasn’t any of these but they were a great place to start. I ended up wiggling each of the connections after testing these three things and that solved it.
Thank you for this video! Fixed the dryer just by replacing the fuse. Was just about to buy a new machine!
Thanks so much - my very old dryer stopped working and your video helped me fix it! I ordered a door switch on Amazon for $9 and installed it. One tip - when I was taking off the old switch, I didn't realize the casing was separate from the switch and I dropped it into the bottom of the dryer. I had to buy a magnet on a stick tool to get it out. :-)
Thanks for the tip on checking the door safety switch. I thought it was either the on button or thermal fuse. Turns out both were fine. Half the plastic part broke off and wasn't making contact with the door. By pushing in what was left, the dryer started right up. A $7 part will keep my 20+ year dryer running smooth. I also like the tip on refinishing the top. Mine is showing its age!
I just fixed my dryer!!! Thank you so much!! It was the thermal fuse!! God bless you!!! 🙌❤️🙏🏻
Great advice my problem was the starter switch wasn’t seated right and the button wasn’t depressing the switch. Wife was after me for a new dryer saved me hundreds of dollars. Subbed and liked…
