Quick question if your still there, I have not continuity through my inlet control thermister on a GE electric dryer. It operates fine until you go to start a cycle in which case it will just never start. Also in the diagnostic test of the drum it will not rotate. Is this likely the thermister causing a fault that will not allow the drum to turn? Like if yes, down vote for no

I tore down and repaired our dryer today using info from your excellent tutorial. After checking things, I found a spade connector from the heater coil to the thermostat had come loose from the wire and burned some of the insulation off. I replaced the connector with a new one and after a test run everything seems to be working fine again. Without watching the video, I would have just guessed and bought a heater coil thus wasting money. Thanks for helping us learn!

This was an EXCELLENT video and it helped me diagnose my problem -- the power supply. I had an intermittent faulty 30v double breaker. Before watching this detailed troubleshooting video I started to make the assumption that the heater element went out as I was not getting heat. It tested just fine. Anyway, thank you so much. And to the trolls that gave this video a thumbs down, well, you know what you can go do!

This is the most comprehensive repair/troubleshooting tutorial I have found in my search for solutions to repair my family's dryer. We have a Whirlpool Estate manufactured with a three-prong power cord. We had to replace the three-prong with a four-prong cord after we moved to our current address three years ago. We've owned the dryer for about 11 years now; it's simple and sturdy so we'd like to keep it as long as possible. Recently, it wouldn't completely dry a load without two to three runs. It had been awhile since I last opened up the housing to clean it so I decided to complete this task first before checking any of the electrical components. The instant I turned it on after closing it there was a flash and an audible pop behind the panel covering the power cord terminal. When I reopened this portion, I discovered the black cord melted and separated beneath the spade connector. This is not the first time I have opened our dryer to clean it so I am lost as to what and how this happened. Your thoughts on what happened (including if it may have been something I did while cleaning it) and what I can do to fix it (if possible) would be greatly appreciated. Again, thank you for the fantastic tutorial; I will be checking out your other videos.

Since my Whirlpool dryer went down because of no heat, *I've been watching a lot of how-to and troubleshooting videos, and by far, this is the best video I've seen.* Even though, I still haven't found the problem of why the heat isn't working on my dryer, this video is very informative and easy to follow. So far, I've ruled out the voltage to the dryer, the thermal cut-off fuse, hi-limit thermostat, and the thermal fuse. I'm just about ready to rule out the dryer timer/motor and the heater element. I'm just hoping that I find the problem before I have to get to that motor under the drum. A note of interest... my dryer is only 2 years old. Thank you, for a great video!

Thank you for an excellent video. My parents owned an appliance repair store, and I often feel like I channel my dad when repairing, and you remind me of that. I've run into a problem that your video does not seem to address. On a Frigidaire with a momentary start knob, it will normally start after briefly holding the knob. But now I need to hold it for a long time; the dryer starts, but may stop if I release the knob. It does start after a few tries with a long hold. Suggestion?

When the timer is set on 3 of the 4 off positions and the start button is pushed, the end of cycle buzzer will buzz. In any other position on the timer, nothing happens at all. Going to try a tone probe next to see if there's a short in any of the wiring.

Finally information is at hand....good video...couple things tho to help you...when you said not to bypass one of the fuses,, you should have also said NEVER BYPASS ANYTHING unless it is in order to quickly check for trouble shooting info. When you tested the element for a short to ground you placed a lead on the dryer body but the element housing was disconnected/removed from ground. Just a couple of bloopers. Otherwise it is obvious to me that you know what it's all about.

Shouldn't 1 spade connector be removed from 1 side of the fuses and thermostats to prevent feedback when testing for ohms? Excellent very helpful video. Thank you.

It's a good idea to do that. I usually do that myself, unless it's very clear the fuse is in series with a power supply.

Great video. I will be replacing my Operating Temperature Thermostat and Thermal Fuse. The only concern I have is The timer motor is only showing a little over 1000 ohms. On the schematics the readings are showing the opposite of what the schematics call for. (closed when it should show open and vice versa) This is only happening when checking the continuity between the terminal named TM and the other terminals. I believe the TM must stand for Timer Motor.... Does it matter which side of the timer you check from? Regardless I bypassed the fuse for about three seconds just to verify the drier would work if it had continuity and it did. Thanks again and if someone could chime in about the TM reading I am getting I would greatly appreciated!

I was wondering why my dryer has 2 operating temp thermostats in lower left. They both look the same with the 4 pronged thermostat. My dryer is a Kitchenaid Superba and it works but it has only one temp (hot) and does go to the cool off cycle when timer reaches the last 10min of drying. However, I do have a delicate, and other cycles besides the towels (hot) cycle that when I set to still just blows the hot air??? Is.this because one of my operating temp thermostats is bad or again, why do I have two? No other dryer video I've watched has more than one. Thank you for posting such a detailed video on troubleshooting dryer operation because I learned alot!!
@electronicsNmore
@electronicsNmore 8 жыл бұрын
What you describe does sound like 2 thermostats. Look for the schematic(wiring diagram) in your dryer. Normally it is behind a cover or a piece of paper taped inside the unit. If the unit always blows hot no matter what setting, then there is a problem with the timer control or switch inside the motor.

Same exact dryer. Problem is won't start. Tested everything you said, all checked out good, except when I got to the motor. The Blue and Black wire in motor not getting any reading. Blue and White getting 1.7 ohms. Blue and ground also did not show any reading. Arghhh! This was a great video. Thank you so much Does this mean I need a new motor?
@electronicsNmore
@electronicsNmore 8 жыл бұрын
You can always apply power directly to the motor with the belt disconnected to see if it works. If it does, then you could have a faulty timer control.

Thank you. I already replaced the timer thinking it was that at first because at that point I only checked the switches, fuses, thermostat, which all checked out. Then I replaced the timer, still wouldn't start. Then I found your video that got me down to the motor, at which point the blue and black wires didn't register a reading. Amazon had the motor for only $60, so hoping for the best. If that doesn't work, I will bring the dryer out back and use it for target practice.

Great video, very informative. I have an electric Maytag and the operating thermostat (near the thermal fuse) has 4 prongs instead of 2 like on your video. The 2 outer ones (red and red/white wires) have continuity however the 2 inner ones (both purple wires) do not. The issue I'm troubleshooting is that the dryer gets hot but not hot enough/long enough. We have to run each load at least 3 times for them to dry. The heating element, thermal fuse and the high temp cut off all tested good for continuity. The power supply tested right at 240v (120 per side). Do you have any suggestions?
@electronicsNmore
@electronicsNmore 7 жыл бұрын
Did you check to make sure the lint screen is clean, and the discharge hose is unobstructed? Heating the thermostat with a hair dryer, should get the 2 other contacts to open/close.
