Ha! You are welcome and I'm putting on my fuzzy people hat with yellow feather about with my big gold bling.

Thank you. Instead of loud music how about if I reply IN ALL CAPS? 😀

Thanks. I thought it was a great first step.

That's is awesome! Thanks for the comment and super happy it helped you out

YOU GO! See! You’re out here liberating women! One gal at a time! 😂

And you never have to tell them anything other than you figured it out and fixed it.

Whoops I guess some of the super glue wasn’t fully dry when I reassembled and got into the little black button on the circuit board. Managed to desolder it and swap it with the dry detection signal button (which we never use) and got it working again.

Awesome. Go to starbond.com and use BronkBuilt at check out and save 15%. Get some accelerator which makes the glue dry in seconds.

Great job and i agree for the price a little better plastic is in order.

A question: why did you need "another little plastic square"? As long as the clear plastic button piece and the broken-off piece are in place, you do not need an extra high to push the button on the printed circuit board?

So happy to hear it helped you. Thanks for the comment.

Love to hear that!

That is awesome! So glad the video helped

I'm sorry but i actually laughed when i got to the end of your comment. I can totally see me doing the exact same thing. Glad you got yours working.

Glad it helped. Never fun clicking the go button and nothing happens, especially with a pile of wet clothes. Thanks for stopping by.

Thanks for the comment. In truly happy my video helped.

Hopefully you can fix yours as easy as mine. Not sure i agree with junk as this at lasted around 15÷ years and this was the only thing that needed fixing with the dryer.

Good fix Bronk. Thank You for your ingenuity. The matching Whirlpool Cabrio wash machine gave out twice during the warrantee period. The online forums were thick with complaints due to faulty circuit boards. The third time it failed we got rid of the Whirlpool Flagship Cabrio Washing Machine. To make matters worse, the A&E factory repair tech robbed my wife's jewelry during his visit. The bad experience really left me bitter towards planned obsolescence and Whirlpool. Fords hold up well for me, but they don't do laundry! Thanks Again Bronk!

With all that, i wouldn't be quick to move back to Cabrio either.

I'm so happy it helped you. Thank you for the comment. #NoWetUnderware

You are welcome. Sounds like your solution may last longer than mine. Been a few months for me and no iissues. I do wish i had used double sided tape instead of super glue.

I've been amazed at how many have had the exact same issue.

Great to hear! Always nice getting more life out of our appliances, without the cost of a repair person.

That's great, glad this helped.

Surprising how often this has happened to people.

You are welcome. Super happy it helped.

Thank you kindly! I do appreciate the comment.

Good luck! Let me know how it goes. On not having music... I feel I'm annoying enough so I don't need the annoying music :)

Glad it helped. Thanks for the comment

That is awesome!

Awesome. Go to my FB page and send me a message with the pics. Love to see them.

That's awesome! Glad it helped.

That's awesome. Thanks for letting me know.

Thank you very much.

Glad it helped. How you didn't need the acetone.

Glad it helped. Great idea with the bread clip!

Awesome! Glad it helped.

@@BronkBuiltQuick follow-up...what size bit did you use to drill the hole? Thanks again!

@@blown22 sorry I don't remember. I want to say 3/8 but not sure.

@BronkBuilt No worries. I used a small bit on a Dremel, then bored it out to a snug fit and glued it on. It's drying now. This was actually better fit than a circular hole. I'll let you know tomorrow how it worked. Thanks again!

@@BronkBuilt I placed the piece in there snug, and then the circuit board (but not the white pastic cover), then tested it. It seemed like it may have barely pushed the button on the circuit board (weak click) on the first push, but then it didn't make contact from the second push onward. So I popped the circuit board back off and the piece I had fashioned was pushed out of from the two gray plastic prongs instead of being flush/level like it had originally been. So now I need to ask you a few more questions: (1) Should I retry this, but also attach the white cover and 3 screws first - would that make any difference? (2) Do I need to actually glue the button to the inside of the cover? (3) Maybe a dumb question, but how thick was the paint stirring stick you used?. My wood piece looks to be 2 or maybe 3mm thick; a little thicker than 1/8", but thinner than 3/16". It looks pretty close to yours. Thanks for your continued help on this. I really do appreciate it.

You are welcome. Thanks for watching.

Glad it helped. I agree nice sturdy plastic instead of wood is a better choice.

I am not quite understanding how the "2 tiny strips of plastic" work. Did you make a hole on each of the strips?

My guess is that he glued the 2 tiny pieces of plastic on the broken piece to "fix" the broken piece. I think he glued the 2 pieces across the break to give strength and support back.

@@BronkBuilt Thank you very much for your quick response. I am gradually understanding how the button works. Your Video is awesome. I am fixing the identical issue on my dryer.

Awesome!

Awesome

You are welcome. Thanks for the comment.

We were doing laundromat until i got time to fix the dryer. They are nice as you can do multiple loads at once, but kind of a hassle to pack up and go and hang around for an hour or so. Also gets expensive. Legs get white when your not at the beach all day all seasons of the year.

Lol

I'm glad this helped.

I hope so also. Please let me know how it goes.

Hope it is the same issue. Good luck!

Glad it helped. I've been so surprised at how many have had the exact same issue. I actually debated on doing the video as I thought it was specific to my issue

So happy it helped you! Thanks for letting me know.

You are welcome. Glad it helped.

That is awesome!

You are so welcome!

Thank you

Thank you. Glad it worked for you

now I have no power.. fuse.. ???

@@jamesneese5359 possibly. Double check the connecting to the main board.

I did use Gorilla glue and I replaced the board it had the power button go out.. Thanks for the tip about the diodes click nice save...

@@BronkBuilt The plastic that broke. I could not remove it. So I just put in the new board. It works any ideas to remove the plastic and replace it..

Fantastic!

That's awesome! Nice job.

hmmmm. My bet is that you will need to replace the board for that. After about 15-17 years mine finally completely burned out working so I replaced them with new units so I can't even go back to check, sorry.

That is awesome! Glad it helped.

$3 fix instead of $300. I like it!

The piece I put in did not engage the button or switch on the board. Can’t figure why not

Make sure it is in the correct place. The button on the circuit board is offset a bit.

Excellent! Glad it helped

Glad it helped! Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the kind words. Good luck with yours.

So nice to have a couple dollar fix vs calling "the guy" for couple hundred dollar fix. Glad this helped.

Awesome! Glad it helped.

Thanks. Glad it helped.

Happy it helped!

Thanks for the questions. I'll try and answer them all... Q: Was glue needed. A: I think so. There is empty space in that little section so the glue was needed to hold everything in place. Q: Was the piece of wood necessary? Possibly epoxy the small plastic back together? A: It would have been difficult to repair that little plastic piece, at least for me. There were two very small tabs that had broken so it would have been tough to get it back together. I just grabbed the piece of wood because it is what I saw and honestly I was not sure if it was going to work. Others have commented that they used a small piece of plastic or acrylic which is probably a better choice. Q: What was my diagnostic process? A: Honestly there was not a ton. I would press every other button on the dryer and I could feel a physical button press. Hard to explain, but I could definitely feel that I was physically clicking a button. With the start button I couldn't feel anything at all. Like there was nothing at all behind the cover. That's when I actually got a bit happy. I figured if it was simply some sort of a broken switch and not an electronic issue then I have a pretty decent chance and fixing it myself. That's when I started looking for screws to take it a part. I figured give it a shot and if I couldn't get it working, then call the repair person. Hope this helped.

@@BronkBuilt Awesome. Your diagnostics were pretty straightforward, easy, and a bit lucky. Any solution that fixes it and continues to work is certainly good enough. On another subject: I have a cheap $14 angle grinder that after a lot of heavy use, spun the gear off the gear shaft so it wouldn't spin the wheel anymore. Just to complete that project, I wrapped a piece of baling wire around the shaft and twisted it tightly with a pair of pliers to give it enough tension to spin the wheel again. I just wanted to get through another 10 minutes of grinding, but, here I am 5 years later and I've done another 100+ hours of grinding with it. That silly bailing wire fix is still holding.

Excellent! Glad I was able to help.

Awesome!

Awesome!

That's awesome. Glad this helped.

Thank you. I'm glad you could fix yours.

Not sure I understand how I convinced you

Awesome. Super happy to hear that!

You are welcome. Hope it helps fix your issue.

Thank you. Glad it helped you.

Thank you

Glad it helped. Saved me a bunch of money as well.

Glad to hear it! Thanks for letting me know.

Glad it worked for you. If I didn't show my mistakes my videos whittle only be 2 minutes long

You are welcome!

Awesome! Glad it helped.

Awesome. Be sure to let me know.

Excellent!

That's great!

Glad to hear it!

I'm glad you found me also :) glad it helped

Fingers crossed. I hope so as well

Glad it helped. Saved me a lot of money as well.

Nailed it on first try ;)

Thanks. Been a while since I did this but I believe to get the control panel off you have to remove the knob. I seem to recall that the shaft is connected to the control panel. The shaft comes through the back through the "dashboard" and connects to the knob.

@@BronkBuilt Thanks again. I just super glued the pieces back together. It will work for now.

Thank you!

Hope it helped!

Hope it turns out to be the same problem and you get it fixed! #NoMoreWearingWetUnderwear

Let me know how it goes.

Awesome! Happy it helped.

That's great. Glad it saved you time.

Awesome! Love seeing people save money with DIY

I'm sorry to I'm not sure. Maybe a bad moisture sensor?

Thank you

Glad it helped

I did not. It was a pretty snug fit and didn't need it.

Glad it helped. Thanks for stopping by.

First thing you want to do is...not die! lol

Thank you. I do appreciate it.

You got that right

@@BronkBuilt I appreciate , thank you again! I fixed my washer!

Thanks for tip. Hope it helps someone.

How my video helped.

@@BronkBuilt I ended up having the same issue, I tried the paint stick/wood and it worked a couple times and then I had to press on the back of the circuit board to make it turn on. I checked the wood and it was broke in half. I don't think my wood was the exact same shape as yours, I could see where there was a mark where the wood where it broke guessing that it hit one of the many parts sticking up/out. Plus I had to elongate my hole not quite in the right place. I was going to make another one out of wood but instead I decided to try glue and glue a piece of plastic on top of the broken part for extra strength. So far so good it's only been a couple hours, if that doesn't work I'll try the paint stick again. Not sure if yours was all electric but mine is gas. This video gave me the inspiration to try it, good job!! Thanks

Thank you. A piece of plastic is probably better than the paint stick.

@@BronkBuilt will see if it works and doesn't break break. I like the wood idea but mine wasn't quite right because it broke. I think that my paint stick looked like it was a bit thicker than yours. Again thanks for the video

Now wait just one minute. How can i be da man when you da man :-)
