Been down the rabbit hole for 3 days trying to fix my dryer. Your video is by far the most comprehensive and methodical troubleshooting guide I’ve seen. Good work, man. And, thank you!

Thank you very much much!!!! I am a single momma with very limited money. I panicked when my dryer quit but thanks to your video I was able to fix it!!! You're the best!!!

Andrew you saved me calling an appliance repair ($$$). -always make sure dryer is solidly plugged in. -clear out all the lent. TaDa Great video.

You are the man! I bought a Maytag washer and dryer. The people gave me the dryer because they said it stopped working. It has been in my storage building but I wanted a matching set so I looked this video up and brought it in the house. My other dryer worked so when I tested the thermal fuse and got nothing I swapped them. Boom! The Maytag fired up and worked great!!! Thank you many times over!!!

Try the drier knob first. If the barrel is cracked it won't ,"hug" controller shaft. I found this out after taking the drier apart to check all the expert advise given on line. This was not recommended by the so called experts. I grabbed the shaft with a plyers,turned it and the dryer started right up. I will order a new knob today.

thank you for your tips , i found my dryer filter in a horrible condition 100% blocked , thanks again !

Thank you! This video has told me what’s wrong with my dryer and how to repair it!!

Good video. My problem is the drier won’t turn on. I noticed that the drier timer knob feels different when rotated. It no longer clicks as you turn through the various settings. If the switch is bad, will it prevent the drier from running?

Thanks Andrew! Your video gave me an excellent overview of what to expect when I tackle our electric dryer that's getting super hot on the top. That only happens when the timer knob is on the left half but not on the right half. My guess is that the timer will have to be replaced. Since the dryer certainly works, I'm just delaying and delaying before I open it up! Yup, I'm lazy....

Thank you Andrew !!! Before i watched your video i was sure i needed a new thermal fuse, but decided to check out the door switch and was able to find that the trouble was the door being slightly loose and just just had to be adjusted. Thank you for saving me a bunch of money and unnecessary work.

muito obrigado ajudou muito, nao temos tecnicos para essa secadora aqui no Brasil.

Our dryer is almost identical to the one in our video. The start switch doesn't seem to have any effect. i.e. If we rotate the timer to an 'on' position and close the door, the dryer starts and continues to run until the timer reaches the end of it's cycle. To operate the dryer we never have to use the start button. Which component do you think might be at fault. We have operate the dryer this way for many years.

I'm leaving a comment to see what's going on with my dryer. It's making a kind of whirring scratching sound. It's taking longer to dry things than it did before. I had a friend come and he's a really big guy and he severely overloaded my washer and my dryer. I'm handy enough to know how to unplug it and look at the back but what do you think it could be? It's only about a year and a half old and I bought it from someone on Facebook marketplace and it was working fine but not today. How can it go from being like a normal dryer to being able to hear it in the living room?

Great advice. Advice on how to disassemble and reassemble next time please, at least point out the screws and tools needed

can you do a video on replacing thermal fuse on GE. Thanks

Yes, I have checked both the Duct, the thermo fuse, and the Dood switch and they all are good, However the dryer is still not turning on. I need to check the timer now. It went out in cycles.

Calling you back cuz I just watched your program I have a problem of my dryer run for a minute and shut off run for a minute and shut so either it's hot or that so I see what I'm supposed to check it's fantastic and explaining is fantastic too so I will take a picture of the back in that before I take them off I'm fixing all right I'm going to try cuz you help me do my washer machine and it works beautiful now so I'm going to do this too how let you know back from the park if I

Hi thanx for another great video. The issue with my GE profile dryer is when I hit the start dial I hear a humming.the start doesn’t stay on, the dryer doesn’t start, the hum stops. I am hoping that the motor is not shot. I am wondering if it is the start switch. How can I know? The issue was a sudden thing, no indicators of trouble. Thanx in advance.

Hi Andrew, you have a great informative video ! Very beautifully made !!! , I do a small squeaky question about the exact model . When I start the dryer its makes noise for the first 10 minutes then the noise stops, is that the belt needs to be replaced or it's another part ? Thanks in advance Johnny

Thank you for the video, please I have a Kenmore dryer, it starts for max 10 secs and shuts down, can you please direct me on what could be wrong with the equipment. thanks once again.

Awesome video but I need to remove the top and I don't see how you did it

Could you do a follow up video for a problem where the dryer starts, but stops randomly 3-5 minutes after starting and only stays on if the start button is held down?

Thanks man, I got the same dryer and it was the belt. Now to find out which belt to buy?

How do I test the timer cycles? I acquired this exact electric dryer pre owned with new belt. In excellent condition. Love the super size. Runs great and heats when the timer cycle decides to cooperate and complete the selected cycle. When it stops short other cycles will not start immediately. Have to play with timer cycle selection a few minutes until a cycle cooperates but May again not complete the cycle.

Thank you for this video! Iv'e come to believe its me Timer thats messed up, which i had assume it was that dial but never knew the term. Sometimes it would dry like normal, others itd not dry, others it would never turn off!

THANK YOU ANDREW your video was so helpful, I was able to check everything out. Pretty good for a single woman!

I have a GE gas dryer model GTD45EASJ2WS. The dryer starts fine and heats up but then shuts itself off. I checked the lint build up and there was some but not too much. I decided to run it only on air and it never shut itself off until the timer ended. I just now watched your video so I’ll get my test meter and check those thermostats first. Do you think that’s the likely culprit? Thank you so much. This troubleshooting video was one of the best I’ve seen and definitely the easiest to understand.

Wow great video and explanation on trouble shooting the different part that can fail. Thank you very much

Thank you 🙏🏻 😀 was the swich braket

I have this exact dryer but having problems taking the back out panel off please help

hello ! my dryer will shut off in 10or 15 second it start ? what should i do ? please give me advise thank !

1. My dryer's timer never worked since I bought it 2. I noticed the dryer sometimes keep turning when the door is opened 3. It randomly stopped the other day and the button won't start it back Now it's clear my circuit (probably all of them) have problems, but how do i change those? Do you have a video on that?

I have the same exact dryer shown and looking to replace the heating element. .could you provide the model number pls?? Mines is smudged and not legible..

I have this exact dryer. The start dial broke off. Is it possible just to order a new start dial? Does it just pop on? Thanks

The dryer your working on is the exact dryer I have. We can't find the model # anywhere, whatever it was stamped on is gone. I understand this is an old video, but if you can could you give us the model # off this one?

How do you remove the back of a general electric dryer

Hi, i have a Hotpoint HTX24EASKOWS. I have no heat. How do I take apart the dryer to get into the heater coil to test it? Thanks

I have this same dryer did you find the thermal fuse bc I can’t find it my dryer makes a buzzing noise but won’t start I read that it could be the thermal fuse!!

Thanks for the help, U made it easy to replace the door switch!!!

I REPLACED THE FRONT BEARING ; IT RUNS BUT MAKES A RUBBING NOISE ON AND OFF LIKE DRUM IS RUBBING ON SOMETHING.

Excellent presentation. Thanks.

With this model, do you happen to know the belt size or item number. I think its my belt on why it won't stay started

Thermal and fuse how to check it and the drum ruller or bearing from back near heater how to change it

THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE HOT POINT AND MAY ALSO HAVE AN INTERLOCK SWITCH ON THE BASE PLATE OF THE MOTOR. THAT CAN GO BAD THE PULLEY ARM ACTIVATES IT, WHEN THE BELT BRAKES IT SHOULD SHUT THE MOTOR DOWN. IF THE BELT IS NOT BROKEN TEST THE INTERLOCK SWITCH

Hello Andrew, I have a brand new dryer that is approx. 15 yrs. old, and I'm not getting any heat. It has never been used so clogging is not an issue. can you suggest anything it might be?

So what if my dryer shuts off mid way but keeps heating extremely and won’t start again unless I unplug it and plug it back in?

Andrew. What is it when your electric dryer( Frigidair DE500ADW5) works as it should and shuts off at the end of the cycle, but the heat is staying on. Checked the heater, is not grounded.

You skipped how you took back off, do you have video to take off this GE model GTD42EASJ0WW or close to design

I have that exact dryer that just quit working, it just makes a buzzing noise when I turn the start knob, any ideas, thank you 🙏

I replaced high limit thermal thermostat on Kenmore Elite HE3 model. I fixed the issue of non heating but after reassembling the drum does not rotate with full load. With few clothes, it is working and running. what could be the possible issue?

I have this same dryer and it seems even on delicate cycle it gets too hot

General Electric dryer won't work start when I push the on button

Dry will not come on ,What if light also does not come on when door is open , I removed light bulb it look good...

Excellent presentation, it helped me tremendously, thank you...!!!

I pressed the start switch dryer start and stop, if I hold the button then it stays on, please help.

Right hand dryer knob just spins and will not turn on. Do I need a new knob? Light comes on that’s it, won’t start

I have the same dryer. It turns on and heats fine, but after a few minutes, it stops. Not sure how much time because I haven't been able to monitor it but it doesn't finish the cycle. I will be looking at it this weekend and will be removing all of the excess lint. Any tips on what might be causing it to stop? Fuse maybe? Thanks!

Thank you - very thorough!!!!

I've checked the continuity and the door switch works, as well as the on switch on the console. However, it still is not turning on. Would the burned out door light be the source of the problem and all I have to do is replace the bulb? Thanks

7:39 I think this video is one of the most comprehensive ones. I have a GE electric dryer, but could not locate the thermal fuse. Where is it located? Mine is not started at all.

Hi Andrew. My frigidaire dryer DE500ADW5 overheats and the does not turn off the heating element. What could be wrong?

My dryer works for 3 minutes then the electrical circuit gose down what should Ido please?

Why is my dryer shutting off in the middle of a cycle

I am needing a noise / vibration diagnosis

Why does no one ever show an example of them taking the back panel off 🤦🏻‍♀️

Thanks alot. Very useful info.

my service contract does not cover the dial. Have no deductible . Hotpoint dryer 26 months old. Used very little. Thanks to You Tube I got one from Amazon. No more GE Hotpoint items for me. Thanks

Don’t forget type of venting used and length/elbows is a major cause of failure. Soft foil or white plastic is never to be used. Refer to owners guide for max elbows and length. Many dryers will fail if roof vented.

The problem I am having is that when I turn the left knob, the dryer starts as expected, but when I release the knob, it stops. It will stay running as long as I keep the left knob twisted (clockwise). The dryer does spin while I have the knob turned. I replaced the rotary switch part # WE4X881, but the problem persists. Thoughts on what else needs to be replaced? Thank you.

Andrew I dry clothes no heat how to diagnostics it of electric top loader it is plug in and circuit breaker ok and lint okay

I have a GE Profile Dryer, but I can't figure out how to get the back panel off. I think I have to go in through the front and top?

Whirlpool Special Edition 3 cycle will stop heating as should when timer finishes, but tub continues to run

Very helpful, thank you

whatif the lights come on but dryer still does not work

Maytag model pye4500ayw will not heat

What is the modal number of this dryer in the video?

our dryer is a ge model number DBLR33EG7WW and it takes 12 hours before it starts to heat what is a possible issue that i may be able to troubleshoot for this problem

I can't turn the timer knob, it's stuck. I even replaced it with a new one. The new one is also stuck. I tried it with a plier and it won't budge. I am talking about the timer knob. The knob just spins, so I replaced the knob and the timer switch. It work once because I guess the timer was set to 30 minutes but after it stopped, I can't get it to turn. Any idea? Greatly appreciate any advice you may have!

Mine is clean but tgermal fuse blows.

Thank you!

My whirlpool dryer makes a loud noise when running. What could possibly be wrong

how to assemble v7-2b37e-048 part

if the dryer doesn't start and you need to know if the power is on - open the door. there's a light in there.

my dryer will come on with the starter switch but when I release the starter switch it shuts off can you help me and tell me what it could be could it be the starter switch

Hello, when I put my dryer on, it doseMy come on and if the door is open, it’s red inside . How do I fix this issue.

THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY DRYER IS WORKING :)

Great video!!

Seems to be alot missing from this video. Why would I go through this process if all I'm going to do is have someone else come and fix it. (Comment made at end of video). You started by going through the potential issues. Specifically, when you got to the "does not turn on" part with the start button, you left me hanging on how to troubleshoot that issue. Your title should be- "This is a dryer". Sorry to be so critical, but you posted this balogna.

I have a Frigidiare Heavy Duty Dryer...I changed the belt and replaced the entire bearing, due to the dryer squeakiness.... all is done but now it seems the hot of dryer gets too hot...so don't know if just me or what.

What would cause a rotational scraping noise in a brand new GE dryer?? Seems to be coming from the drum.

Nothing here for when the dryer shuts off mid cycle

Dryer wont run unless I hold the start switch in the start position. I changed the belt switch and checked the door switch and it was good. But it is still doing the same thing. The start switch is turned to the start position and you let it go does that switch stay ina closed circuit position?

What model is this I have the exact one n I can’t seem to open the back due to side panels on each side ... right where the switch panel is behind it somethings stuck

Hey Andrew how are you?

Have an Amana dryer that cuts off after about 5 minutes into cutting on. Feel heat when opening door but have to wait a few minutes before it will cut back on. What to do please!

I’ve cleaned out my dryer nothing is plugged and it still takes a long time to dry, some times it works the first time drying. Sometimes it takes a few runs. What’s the problem?

My dryer is making a loud noise

Have this exact model of dryer. Isn't starting. Can the thermal fuse going bad be the cause?

Andrew, May I know what GE model is this? Thanks!

My dryer just stopped working. It’s plugged in and the breaker is on. With the dryer still plugged in, when I open the door, the interior light doesn’t come on. What could be the cause?
