Thanks for the information. Fixed the dryer switch myself and avoided a service call. Saved $150.00.

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.

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! ❤💪💪

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!!!

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 🙂

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, I was able to repair my dryer for under $20 because of your video.

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.

This saved us $500. I’m so glad I did a quick google search and found your video. We just needed to replace the fuse. Your video was so easy to follow. Thank you!

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.

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!!!!!!

Clutch. Literally just flicked the switch around and hit the button. Turned on immediately. Girlfriend thinks I’m a genius now too.

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!

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.

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....

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!!

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.

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. Thank you. Thank you. A $5 part saved me from spending $500+ on a new dryer and now my 16yr old dryer is back up and running.

Thank you! Checked all 3 and it was the thermal fuse. $6 fix from Amazon and we are back drying. Appreciate the time you took to educate and help.

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.

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 KZfaq 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!!!

Sir, I thank you. Just fixed my dryer, it was the thermal fuse. Bought a 3 pack from Amazon replaced it. You saved me at least 800.00 bucks.

It worked! Thank you. I fixed my Moms this morning. $2 part. Praise the Lord! Thanks for the his video. Saved me $$$$

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.

Fantastic! My dryer broke on Saturday, I ordered the thermal fuse which was bad, and received the part on Sunday. 24 hour self service for only $17.32 (10 for overnight shipping). Of course it took a while to finish cleaning up the area, but the thermal switch went in within 5 minutes of retrieval from the front door step. One thing that caused me a scare today is, that I didn't push the plug in all the way and so after a few runs it stopped working.... As I was troubleshooting, I fortunately thought of checking that plug.

The plastic swtich thingy was a little melted from heat. All it took was two minutes, a lighter and a slightly toasted finger to fix it and it's back working. Saved me about 90$ for the visit and I don't know how much more to actually fix it, along with a bunch of time that I have to take from work to be home Thank you

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 !

So thankful for this instructional video! I followed this step by step, was able to identify the root cause of being the thermal fuse and replaced myself. I ordered part through Amazon and saved $15 rather than buying from local company. I also bought and learned how to use my first multimeter. THANK YOU!! 😊

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,

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!!

Years later this video is still helpful. Thought my Roper dryer was down, 6$ Amazon Thermal fuse fixed it!

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!

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 🙏🏾

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!!!

Just changed the thermal fuse for a few bucks and our dryer is back in action! Thank you so much for the extremely helpful video!

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!!! ✌🏿🙏🏿

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!!!!

Amazing. Mine is a GE dryer. The reset trick (unplug for 1 min and plug back, then press the door opening /close for 6 times). You saved my days!

Thank you! You just made me look like a hero to my parents. 5 mins, all it took. $6 on Amazon for 3 of those fuses. arrives tomorrow. You are Da Man!

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 very much The part cost me $17 and it saved me almost $250 in labor parts and a repair guy

Thank you for the video. Your instructions on how to test with the multimeter and how to fix were perfect

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 👍

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!

Amazing... first one did it. I have fixed the stove and now the dryer... love KZfaq and all the network of people that share their knowledge. Thanks.

You just saved me a lot of money. The switch was broken. Bought a new switch from amazon for $19 and bang it worked. Thanks

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

The little piece of information about the switch clicking was vital information. Other videos just mentioned lack of spring. 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 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!

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!!

This video save me more than one hundred dollars today. I cant thank you enough.

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!!! 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.

Thanks Adam. Did the test you showed me and replaced the thermal fuse. Wife is happy I found your video.

Thanks so much for this incredible video! My wife and I just replaced the thermal fuse! Now our dryer works perfectly again!

Thank you .. You save me five hundred dollars. I spent five dollars on a thermal fuse. Thanks again

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!

Saved me hundreds of dollars. My issue was the thermal fuse. 👍

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.

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

Thank you for the great video, my brand new 6 week old LG dryer stopped working so I did a test on the plug and wires and that all tested good. I then saw this video of yours and it was the button in the door opening, I pushed on it a few times I tried the dryer and it went on! Thank you so much so I can now tell the warranty people what I found.

Thank you for sharing. You saved me about $100-$200 in service charges or even $550 had I bought a new dryer.

You guys are the best. I was able to get my dryer up and running. Praise the Lord indeed.

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.

OMGODS! How many of us have chucked dryers for exactly these issues? I just tested the dryer door switch, it had broken off! Easy easy!

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😊

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

Awesome & thorough video, Adam! I was actually here for the dishwasher vid, subscribed and am just poking around now. Thank you for uploading these educational videos! Cheers from Montreal, Canada.

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

You cost me $16 for a thermal fuse. God only knows how much you saved me!!! Thanks

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!

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!

I just fixed my dryer!!! Thank you so much!! It was the thermal fuse!! God bless 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.

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!!

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.

Thermal Fuse blown. Replaced with Amazon part. Solved my issue in 10 minutes. Thanks so much.

I find your presentation/teaching style to be great! So great that I felt confident tackling the issue after watching your video just once, and I am a first-timer. Thanks for making it. BTW, in my case, the culprit was the fuse.

Wow man I'm a maintenance guy for a millionaire condo hoa. I somehow overlooked that little switch that triggers the light. 🤦‍♂️ you are a beast brother haha😎

Thank you so much. I'm going to home depot tomorrow to get a thermal fuse. Great video.

Thank you. I was able to replace the Thermal Fuse and get the dryer working again. I didn't have any testing tools, so I went ahead and replaced this part. $20 instead of a costly service call or biting the bullet on a whole new machine!

Thank you for an easy to follow video that shows every step. The thermal fuse is blown on my Roper dryer, and I ordered the replacement part from Amazon. Hopefully the repair will go well. Thanks again!

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!!!

Thank you! It was my thermal fuse and it was a $10 fix. Your video really simplified the process.

Perfect! Gave the ol trum a turn and she’s going again! Thank you!

This video made me an appliance repair woman lol. I fixed m dryer myself in 15 minutes with a $7 part. Thank you!

Thanks Nice Video i bought a 6 dollar fuse and fixed my dryer thanks alot saved alot of money by doing it myself

Just as I was watching the video my dryer came back on, but still thanks for the advice and I liked and subscribed.

clear, concise, practical. Tells what what 3 of the most likely problems are and then addresses each.

The thermal fuse solution helped me. I ordered a couple online. Thank you for the video. I was panicking and thought I needed a new dryer!

Great video, after watching I figured out it is the door switch. Thanks much!!

Excellent informative video! To the point, no unnecessary BS. Good 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 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. :-)

Thank you! This helped us fix our dryer, it was just the door switch! Thanks for helping us learn about our appliance, and saving us some money!

Thank you for this great video! It is helping hubby to fix our dryer now. Your instructions/demonstration are easy to follow.

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 ! 👍🏾
