Simply looking up "Kenmore Dryer will not start" . I am glad I continued searching, this explains why the back of this model Kenmore dryer wont come off like in most of the other DIY videos I found. THANK YOU! This is exactly what I needed
Glad I could help!
THANK YOU!!....my kenmore stopped working the day before xmas eve. Thankfully I was able to find a store with the thermal fuse in stock!!
Thank you so much. Not sure how many Kenmore dryer videos I watched before finding this one that explained how to get in through the front of the dryer. By the way, you must remove the lint screen before you can get the grey metal piece off.
Thanks! and thanks for the tip
Yes thank you!!! Please pin this comment so others can see it. I was struggling with this part until seeing this comment
I found this out myself after struggling to get it remove, but good to have this so everyone can see. 👍
Yep, most videos says it is located at the back of the dryer...I guess it depends on the manufactured date of the machine. Models like the Kenmore Model #110.62062100, the fuse is in the front lower panel as this video shows and fuse is a different shape.
C Ron. I know this is 8 years ago to you but it's like a few minutes ago to me. I had all the screws out of the back where the thermal resistor always USED to be. That of course got me exactly zip. So I ran in here and found your monstrous massive super dooper life saving tutorial. Went exactly according to your instructions. If you were handy I'd pop for a donut or a beer. You did GREAT! Better than a factory service manual. Many many thanks!
Well thank you!
Thank you!!! Bought a new thermal fuse for $15 and installed it as per this amazing video and bingo…dryer is now working. Perfect!!👏
I've got a few fuses (and a multimeter) on order, and your video helped me get everything apart and locate the fuse super easily.
Pray for me that it's actually the fuse and not the heater element or something else more expensive! I've got too many kids to have a dryer out of commission!
Yes this helped, everyone kept telling me to take the back panel off that doesnt come off.
I am glad that I could help, hard sometimes trying not to leave anything out, Thanks for watching.
Same!
you are the best!!! my dryer don't rotate the motor, neither the heather start, and thanks to you i found the fuse and i connect the terminals, and worked correctly!! you are amazing!
Excellent! Glad that I could help.
This saved us from purchasing a new dryer. I had a feeling it was a fuse when my father worked on the dryer in my childhood. The video made it easy for me to fix. Thank you so much for posting this video!
You are so welcome!
I'm a divorced mom that just bought my first home. Trying to refrain from constantly calling ppl to fix things. Will definitely give this a try. Thank You!
You can do it, take pitchers alone the way in case you forget how to put back together, I do this a lot if the project is new to me, good luck and do not let frustrating get the best of you, take a break and come back to it later, good luck and thanks for watching.
I doubt you'll see this comment. I've been trying to find this darn fuse for an hour! None of the other videos show it in the back. Thank you!
You can get it on the site that I show and also on amazon let me know if you can not find it. Thanks for watching.
Thank you!!! I followed your instructions and it worked!!! I hope more women watch your video and try to fix it!!!!
Glad it helped!
Thanks! I got it all opened & one screw off the old fuse but need a ratchet to reach the other. What a pain! Still, thanks for this video. I'm a woman & made my dad proud! He said he's never even done this particular repair job.
I am glad that I could help! I always try before I junk anything.
Thanks so much. Worked for me as well. Our dryer is probably 20 years old. We inherited it from the last owners of our house. After opening it and cleaning the lint, I don't think it had ever been cleaned. So glad there is a fuse that will blow instead of starting a fire.
LOL same thing here, previous owners warned us the dryer was on its last legs. Wife said it took 7 hours to dry a light load, I figured the gas wasn't lighting. These instructions were the first I found for a front entry (most tell you to remove the back or to pull out the heater element).
Thank you…thank you…..thank you…this saved me so much money I changed two parts for under 15.00 and it works!! Again thanks you showed exactly how to get into the dryer and how to change the parts…vikki
Glad it helped
Great tutorial! I ended up having a different model Kenmore dryer, so I was able to get to the thermal fuse easier than in the video, but the same method still appllied.
Nice work!
Best how to video that's simple, and to the point. Great job.
Thanks for the video!! And for giving us a " short cut" without a total disassembly!!
Glad it was helpful!
The thermal fuse is just $12. This was an easy-to-moderate, and cheap homeowner repair. I used a metal putty knife to release the clips. And a 1/4in ratchet bit. My helper was an ice cold Sunkist Orange soda.
Thanks for watching
I figured it out. You take the lint screen out. All is good.
Awesome video, very helpful! But,
I am having a hard time lifting the cover off of the blower wheel which you did not show how you did. I'm assuming that's because it's difficult.🤔 If you could add that in there that would be great. Or just maybe tell me how you lifted up left right whatever to get it out of the dryer frame. I would greatly appreciate it! 🙃🤗👍
Located at 1:13 on your video.
I showed everything that is needed, not sure what I missed I will try and pay attention next time i do it, sorry about that.
God bless men just like this champ
Excellent! You showed me almost exactly all I needed. I had to kludge a bit, but now we have a working dryer. My only real difference? My wife and I drink Coke Zero or Canada Dry diet ginger ale.
Thanks! Glad that I could help, I will remember Coke Zero and Canada dry diet ginger ale in my next video (:
Was super helpful! The only thing I had trouble with was finding the right height of ratchet that would fit, but I got. Also, want all u women to know you can do this yourself with this video
Ya that is a tight fit for the ratchet, thanks for watching.
What ratchet did you end up getting?
You totally saved me $200! Thank you for your video!
Nice to hear! thanks, and thanks for watching.
Thank you so much! You saved me a service call.
Thanks for your video!
Just did the thermal fuse replacement on my Kenmore dryer model 110.62974300 … and it was just as easy as you showed it!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks!
Our dryer is working great now! Thank you😁
Great to hear! Thanks for supporting my channel
Sooo very HELPFUL!!! Thank you!
It Worked for me !!! You rock, this is a great video tutorial and easy to follow. Thank you so much for making it.
Your Welcome!
Thank you soooooo much for this. I dont as told to take tha back off. I kept telling them I couldnt! You saved me sooo much money!
Glad I could help! And thank you for supporting my channel.
Great video thanks…any idea what size this dryer is?
The Pepsi is a must have for my dad as well
Great video thank you for taking the time. Quick question.. my daughter just moved into a apartment about a week ago in a row home it has a dryer she says it runs but does not get hot and is a Kenmore 70 series Electric. Have you made a video on how to test any other fuses and whatever that thing is that gets hot that looks like it has coils? She also said something really weird that she started the dryer around 8 p.m. and then went to bed got up the next morning at 7 a.m. in the dryer was still running and apparently did not produce heat because the clothes were still damp. She pulled out the lint trap which she said was full and she emptied it but it did not make a difference when she ran it for another hour
Yes I did a video on testing some thermal fuses that may help. But I am thinking it maybe your heating element? this video may help ua-cam.com/video/u0OCoEoc-Ps/v-deo.html
You are the man!👍👍
Thanks for your video.
This model similar to 800 Kemnore. Good video and fast thumb up!!
Thanks for watching,
Hi Channel Ron! Thank you so much for your video. You have the exact same dryer that I have. I will be able to replace the thermal fuse confidently. Have you had to replace the start switch? Could you post a video about replacing the start switch? Thank you again!
I got the new fuse put in perfect thanks to you but my nephew took it out a month ago and I don’t know which wires to put back on it ?
That was a great video. Thank you for the education.
Thanks you!
Pepsi is a must!
(: thanks
Thank you so much! You sure made it look easy! :)
Your Welcome! Glad that I could help, Thanks for watching.
You're a awsome 👊
I have the same exact dryer and the same problem thanks for the help
Nice! Glad that I could help.
Thank you
Thank you. This helped me so much!!
Thank-you! for supporting my channel (:
This is great! Can you tell me what you used to remove the metal panel to access the thermal fuse?
basic flat head screwdriver like i showed should do the trick.
I was having an issue with this also. Then I opened the door and removed the lint catcher screen, and the metal panel came off easily
Just wondering why you need to unplug the unit AND kill the breaker switch.
Safety first always discount everything when working on electricity.
SUPER HELPFUL THANKS DUDE!!
Glad I could help,
Thanks this saved me!
if you unplug it you dont need to cut the circuit breaker
Safety first when you unplug it you could get your fingers next to the prongs, you are right just need to be safe, thanks for watching.
Maybe so you won’t electrocute yourself when you unplug it
@@victoreoleighlay the handle is supposed to decrease that likelyhood
One video showed the red one being changed. Can you change them both with the same part?
My wire is blue and yes you can take them off at the same time? think that is what your asking (:
Thanks
Thanks for this video!
why did you turn off the circuit breaker and also unplug the dryer? why not just unplug the dryer?
Safety first always,
Question, does it matter which side the blue and black wires go to? I unhooked mine and can’t remember which to which prong. Thanks in advance for the help. Coffee is my assistant.
I went back to look at the film and I just see the blue, does not matter on the Thermel fuse on what side you put it, sorry for the delay feedback.
My kenmore dryer isn't giving heat. Would this most likely be the fuse?
Possibly but could be a thermo switch as well?
What is the component to right of the fuse? Is that another fuse?
Thermal cutout for monitor temp.
Thank You For Your Video Good Job
Thank you and thanks for watching.
Lady removed the wires that go to the heating element fixture fuses and what not. Think it's possible to inform me of how they go. I know the one fuse has a 3 on one side and a 1 on the other. Tried to look it up for a while but not certain.
with out me taking it back apart, I am not sure.
Thank's man, I know what to do now.
Glad I could help
Great video! One question: is the fuse in the same location on the 900 series? Thanks!
I am not sure ): should be in the same location somewhere on the heat output, Thanks for watching.
Hey Ron, Great instructional video. I have a 414.83142201 dryer. We recently moved and I had to put in a new 240 circuit to a shed where the dryer is now located. Got good 240v check on the new circuit, but the machine won't start. The drum light comes on when you open the door, so I know it's getting some power. But, when you set the timer and push the start switch, nothing. You can hear a little hum or click on the motor initially, then nothing. Motor is not frozen. Does the thermal switch allow electric to the light still while cutting out the motor? Or, does it just kill the motor from truning? Or just the heat with the motor turning (tumbling). Again, door light comes on, but the motor (drum) doesn't start. Could it be the thermal switch? Thanks
Wow, Hmm sound like something may have come unhooked inside, unplug the unit and remove cover ware the cord goes into and make sure the dryer cable is connected securely inside, sounds like you are only getting half voltage to the unit?
@@channelron3593 Well, it turned out it wasn't the dryer afterall. Everyone was saying if you measure 240v at the plug it must be the dryer. I wasn't convinced it wasn't an amperage issue, but there was no way to measure it. So, after a week or so, I loaded the drying back on the truck and took it to a know working 240v circuit. It ran just fine. Called electrician back and he found some issue with a crossed neutral/ground running back to the service pole (supposedly). When he left, it ran like a champ; wasn't the dryer at all.
What if the fuse isn’t bad then what ?
If the belt is broken it will not run, also their are 1 or 2 Thermal Fuse Cut-Outs that are mechanical that will reset after cooling down could be that? a bit hard to know without seeing it ):
Does it matter which blue wire goes on like a positive and negative?
Does not it's just a fuse.
What is the switch or fuse right next to the thermal fuse? My dryer starts and runs but if I open the door when it is hot it won’t start again until it cools down.
I believe that is a thermal switch. and it is causing it to shut down because it is too hot, make sure your ductwork is free of lint.
Channel Ron
Thanks Ron. Latest is that I press the start button and it buzzes for a second and then turns off without spinning. If I leave the timer on it will mysteriously turn on after a while. I cleaned it out super clean with air compressor and shop vac. Pretty much lint free right now.
Hey Ron, I would like to try this but I have been trying to wiggle/fiddle/pry those $&!&*&!# clips so I can remove the panel. For almost an hour. Is there a trick to it?
they can be a pain. I should have shown that better ): dose not take much to release them. keep your flat head screwdriver on the top of the clip and pry down and pull panel, hope this helps.
I struggled with this also, and used a putty knife instead of the screwdriver. That worked better for me.
Watched the whole video. What happened to the pepsi?
(: polished that off in the first 5 minuets.
Lol
Thermal fuse is good , can you make a video on changing out the start button ????
Well? my start button is not bad (: so can not change.... Yet, give it time I am sure that it will fail, thanks for watching.
Thanks!!
your welcome!
Hi Ron. Greetings from Peru. My frigidaire dryer DE500ADW5 overheats and the power to the heating element is not turned off . Besides , the wires and terminals to te heating element are getting chared. What coud be the problem?
with out seeing is sounds like dirt or lint plugged somewhere deep in the vent?
@@channelron3593 Hi Ron, nope, everything is clean.
Dryer Thermostat could be bad they look like this amzn.to/3cpKJC0 the thermostat is what turns the heat off after it gets to temp.
@@channelron3593 Hi Ron, I really appreciate your reply. I will start the trouble shooting by replacing the thermostat first. I will post you with my progress. Thank you.
Do u have a video of u doing the heater motor?
I do not, Sorry
How did you get the silver cover off after you cleaned out all the lint? 🥴
Omg Nevermind. I forgot to take the lint trap out
I went back and all I did was to remove the screws.
Thank you so much for this helpful video!
Glad that I could help (:
I need your help. I am up here in communist Canada and my Kenmore 90 series dryer is not starting. I first checked the circuit breaker and it’s fine. I noticed the door switch was no longing clicking and just dangling and the light in dryer would not come on when I opened it. So I replaced it. Dryer still would not start. I tested the thermal fuse with multimeter and it was unclear so I replaced it and still the dryer would not start. I tested the start button and it is working. Is it fair to assume the terminal/electrical port is fine bc the light comes in when I open the door so there is power to the dryer? What else could it be? Help 4:06
you are on the right track. is the belt broke that will keep it from running as well.
Same identical problem with me: new start switch, thermofuse, and door switch. STILL NOT STARTING Maybe Kenmore 110 is Chinesium junk.
Put your meter on what? I can't make out what you said lol
At 1.55 I talk about testing the thermal fuse while it is in the unit for continuity, I think i explained it but I will look further into it, sorry for the confusion.
Pourquoi elle brûle la est la question
you skipped the part i cant get! the filter is stuck!
Your right, I did not show that, Open dryer door and pull up on filter, should come out, sorry for that. Thanks for watching.
There is a clip by the two screws!!! You don't show or explain what to do around it!!!!!
sometime I rush a bit, I will try to do better (:
Pourquoi elle brûle LA EST LA QUESTION
Bonne quête la plupart du temps, l'unité est sale
Great video thanks…any idea what size this dryer is?
Standard dryer size.
Thank you.
Your welcome glad that I could help, Thanks for watching.
