I just wanted to send a little something as a THANK YOU for making this video. Our 30-year-old dryer finally stopped heating yesterday, and I had no idea what to do except to start researching. I came across many websites, forums, manuals, and videos. However, YOUR video is the one that enabled me to fix my washer for $10.81. After testing everything as you had, it was actually my igniter that was bad. No reading on my volt meter. Picked up a new igniter this morning, volt meter showed a reading, installed it, and it fired right up and started heating again. Again, I cannot thank you enough for your commitment to your tutorials. The details, straight to the point cadence in your delivery...everything about it is fantastic. You have a new subscriber in me!!! Have a great week.

THIS IS THE BEST DESCRIPTON OF GAS DRYER REPAIR I HAVE EVER WATCHED ! THE VERY BEST " THANKS LADY !

Awesome video, as a DIY Homeowner I was able to fix my dryer with your expert help. The only problem I had was, I wanted to test everything before I put it all back together and could not get the motor to switch on until I move the idler pulley, and there was a micro switch and then everything worked thank you so much.❤️

Holy cow. THIS is how you do a diagnostic video. Wonderfully detailed, full of information to learn and nothing else.

This video should get an emmy award. So helpful. Thanks for taking the time to put it together.

Great video, agree this is by far the clearest explanation of all gas dryer repairs I seen on YT.

this is how i need ALL 'how to' videos to be!

Absolutely, the most concise and comprehensive troubleshooting Video that I have seen on this subject! Terrific job Frugal!!!! You get 5 Gold Stars!

I don't think I've ever done a review but I am compelled to let Frugal DIY know that her explanation is superb! Thank you...

I have to say this is one of the most thorough troubleshooting video I've seen to date! With all of my questions answered before I had to even ask! Amazing instructional video! You covered everything. And even explained in detail what each component should read and how they function. Very impressed. I hope you have a channel to follow!

March 2024. Can't thank you enough for this video. Our dryer quit heating up a couple of days ago. On our old dryer I had to replace the gas valve coils a couple of times and assumed the same this time but on this new dryer the igniter never did heat up. I was at a loss until I came across this video. A trip to Harbor Freight got me one of those multimeters for $4.92 at their parking lot sale! Turned out the thermal fuse was the culprit. I wouldn't have had a clue without seeing your video and probably would have been out several hundred dollars for a service tech. Instead, I was able to diagnose and repair it myself for around $21.00 total! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!💯

Although I don't speak English, your teaching through the tests has taught me a lot. I am very grateful for the great teaching.

By far, the best diy video. Would recommend her over and over again because she explained and demonstrated how to do this job perfectly.

This is the best instructor I have ever seen. Congrats on your tone of voice, assertiveness and clarity.

This is the best, comprehensive video out there. We were at Lowe's, ready to buy a new dryer, but they wouldn't mount a new dryer on an existing pedestal, so I looked up how to fix the dryer. After looking at a few other videos, this one was the most comprehensive out there. Your video easily saved me over $800!!

YOU LITERALLY SAVED ME, IM GONNA BUY THE COILS TOMORROW 🙏🏽 wish me luck

I give you high marks for walking a novice through this daunting process…You were so specific and detailed I feel like I can stop guessing and just make sure I follow your steps…The men who make videos do not touch your detail and perfection… Not a feminist, but women are really better at teaching compared to the DYI men who go shotgun and leave a lot of gaps. Thank you for your perfect video!

Best ever video on any repair from car to shoe making. No dark or lousy video shots. It's to the point, informative . Anyone watching it can learn how gas dryers works and how to fix it. With your video there is just NO guessing. I can now erase all other downloads I have about my gas dryer not working properly. Thank you so much.

Your dryer diagnostic video is by far THE BEST and easiest to understand video that I've found. Thank you for doing such great work!

You are a treasure. It only took four far less capable videos to find yours. Thank you.

You are simply the best! Informative, Easy to listen to and comprehend. Great photography, perfect enunciation and concise compact tutorial jammed with all the knowledge one needs without being cluttered and confusing! BRAVO!!! Frugal DIY is the real deal. Dump all the rest and just go with the best. Thanks for doing it right!!! Paulie W.

I have never seen your videos come up before on KZfaq, but I must say that You are Fantastic. The way you explain in detail every move and why you are testing these components is Amazing. Thank You very Much. You are The Best.

Excellent video! Clear and concise! This video has allowed me to maintain my hero-status with my wife! Thank you, sir!

You are a great teacher. Plainly showing and explaining every step. Thank you and keep it up!!!

She is on another level! Every content creator can use her style of informational video to up their game. Well done! Brovo👍

I fixed my dryer last year by cleaning a very fine build up lint that was blocking the cycling thermostat. Funny thing is NOBODY mentioned this in the videos I watched when I was trying to troubleshoot it last year- I discovered it on my own. I wish I would have found your video back then but at the same time it felt good to find the issue on my own! That and your video is better than ALL of the ones I watched when I had my issue last year. I have an issue now where the flame is blowing wildly instead of smoothly, causing it to trip the high limit thermostat. I have a good feeling my coils are failing. Thank you for this great video as it was a great refresher!

Ditto. Thanks to you I got my dryer back up and running for about $14 in parts...and yes it was the valve coils!

One thing I learned about dryers, any of them, is that it’s vitally important to clean lint filter after each load. Sometimes, if I’m doing a lot of towels, in the middle of a load. This prevents fires and also helps increase the longevity of unit since the whole thing including motor is not overheating.

Best repair video I’ve seen. Great step by step instructions. Very thorough. Fixed my dryer!

Thank you so much!!! This was the best source of information to diagnose and repair a gas dryer. I accomplished the repair.

Thanks for this. This was fantastic and extremely helpful. You must be a teacher.

This video is the best she explains everything clear

By far the best diagnostic on KZfaq for gas dryer. Well done.

The best troubleshooting video I've ever ran across. Please do more appliances

This is a very AMAZING explanation with no doubt this person is extremely knowledgeable about this thank you for the perfect explanation on the gas parts this helped me a lot!

Bravo Ma’m. This is one of the best DIY videos I have ever seen.

The best tutorial video ever! So clear and concise. Thank you so much! 🙌

EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT TUTORIAL! I’VE JUST DELETED ALL MY OTHER DRYER VIDEOS. THANK YOU.

This is the best video I’ve seen on this subject. Thank you for taking the time to post this video!

my goodness.. u are the best diy'er everrrr!!! not just because u have the same model as me (although this is like some divine intervention type shit lowkey), but u have the best angles and instructions i have ever experienced in my whole entire life of me fixing things through youtube!!! u def know exactly how to do it. so thank you to you and your team. (i luv u)

Had no heat. Tested everything. Found no faults. It was apparently the 25 year accumulation of lint that blocked the view of the flame detector and stopped it from igniting. After a good cleaning it worked. Job was more tedious on my dryer because you have to remove the whole front for access to the burner assembly. Then you can't do any live testing without putting it back together. And yes, I watched several dryer youtubes and this was the best

the best video covering the subject

thank you for the excellent video. thorough explanation of how to test components, good video, audio, and camera angle.

I am dealing with my whirlpool duet, 19 years old, with this excellent tutorial, I am confident I’ll be able to fix it!! Thank you some much!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I think is the igniter, I have checked the thermal fuse, the high limit thermostat, the thermistor, the Gas Valve Ignition Solenoid Coil, and they all test good. The dryer turns on, but the ignitor doesn’t come on, there for the flame is not coming on. Thank you again for the tutorial!!

Amazing job on explaining and educating everyone who watch. Kudos for a job well done!! Thank you!

So glad I found this. Great explanation for troubleshooting. I'm adding this one to my future "home repair" file. Thank you so much

The best and most helpful video I watched on dryer troubleshooting. Your step-by-step process was invaluable in helping me identify the 3-pronged coil as the failed part which was determined after checking nearly all the others (nice to know they're all working properly). Thank you so much for your excellent video---couldn't have done it without you!

I appreciate your informative instructions. I just completed problem solving my gas dryer following your helpful steps. Thank you so much.

Like others said. Excellent video. I'm extremely handy and still found this very useful, covered a lot of info that even unsure people could understand. Without droning on about useless stuff. Excellent work!

Wonderful job and photography on teaching how to diagnose likely components for non heating in my Whirlpool dryer. Thank you so much.

This video and the local replacement parts store saved us hundred of dollars.

You explain it really well. My dryer takes a long time to dry. It flames up on and off. I have a high degree of confidence the coils are the problem based on your explanation. I will order the parts first and then do the work. Ty

Very helpful video. I appreciate your calm manner and clear explaination. It turned out this time (after previously replacing the solenoids and the thermal fuse) it was the ignitor. Dry clothes soon!

This is one of the best videos I have came across to troubleshoot my dryer. Easy to understand and nice and clear video.

The best repair video for my dryer I've found, it really helped me to solve my problem. thank you!

Best video hands down, thank you for actually walking us through and explaining the function and how to diagnose each component.

I was just about ready to junk my dryer and buy a brand new one. Watched several videos on this type of repair. The unit that you are working on is almost identical to mine. Your thorough explanation gave me the confidence that I needed to tackle this project. I tested all of the parts that you described here. Ultimately the issue in my unit was the very first fuse that you tested. That part was $5 for two of them on Amazon. I was about to throw away a perfectly working dryer for $2.50. Just for kicks, I replaced all of the parts for a grand total of $52.65 in parts. And the dryer… Works like new! Thanks a bunch! I wish I could give you 100 likes!

Very descriptive. No need to watch any other video. Absolutely fantastic job!

You are the best. If I ever meet you, I’m buying you a beer.

Best explanation on all of this. Very good video!!!!

Great video! I watched a different one which was also helpful but didn't explain as thoroughly as yours. So when I watched yours completely I was confident that my gas dryer needed a new thermal fuse. All long I thought at some point you were going to say "and this is the problem source" or something like that but then I get it at the end that if this dryer was drying intermittently then the problem would've been the coils. You left me wondering but that was cool! Thank you!

Amazing video. I love that you explained and showed everything

The best diy video I have ever seen! Everything explained, and shown clearly and thoroughly. FYI, my problem turned out to be the thermal fuse, which she said should be tested first.

Superior quality video. I appreciate your clear explanations of the how things work, what each part does, etc. You've really simplified things. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this video. My dryer was not heating at all. I did each step, found out it was the cycling thermostat. You're amazing!!!!!

Than you, very well explained and as you said the components are pretty much the same in every dryer, mine is a Maytag and I fixed thanks to your video.

Excellent tutorial and your teaching methodology is commendable - thank you!

Thank you for making this video very detailed and informative.

Thank you for the detailed information. It is nice to know what the components are as well as their function and how they work together. I have a fluke 117 that I haven't used much but today is the day to play with it as my gas dryer stopped heating. I can't believe how much lint is inside the unit. I cleaned my exhaust line 3 weeks ago (26 feet) but the inside is worse. I replaced the coils many years ago and the dryer has been working just fine until this week. I snipped a screen shot of the inside of the dryer, printed it, and identified the parts as well as what the ohm reading range should be for the coils and igniter. Thanks again.

Thanks you! You solved my problem. Now where to find parts for a 30 year old Maytag. 1st problem ever with it.

Wow great video! You are a outstanding teacher!!

Thank you so much!!! Been looking for this information for a long time, excellent tutorial and explanation.

What an amazing explosion of the parts! You rock keep up the solid work 💪. You have earned yourself a new sub. 🎉

Excellent demonstration!

Wow. Amazing teacher. Thank you!!

Wow... absolutely excellent video in every single way!!! Thanks for sharing with us

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you for being thorough.

Very clear and concise, excellent teaching video.

Wow. THAT was HELPFUL! Very Clear!!! Thanks!!!

Very helpful video. I have fixed my dryer after watching your video. Thanks

Good tutorial on a gas dryer, very well done, thanks for doing this.

You are the best teacher I am very grateful

Wow, amazing video! Very thorough!!!

Outstanding video! You clearly know your stuff.

Great DIY troubleshooting video....hands down awesome!! Thank you.

Very clear and thorough love it!!!

Thank you so so much for good lectures . 👍👍

Thank you very much. Love your clear and logical walk though. Fixed it!

13:58 You're the only person to suggest the possibility of a false positive on the coils. Sure enough, that was my issue. I tested all the fuses and coils in my dryer and they all were within spec. On your suggestion I replaced the coils and my dryer flame now stays on. For what its worth, my new coils did show a slightly higher resistance than the failed ones. THANKS!

Great job. This is very helpful.

Great video! Very helpful. Thank you!

Now that was a great video on how to fix my dryer! Thank you!!

WOW! This was excellent!! Thank you. Very informative.

Excellent video and teaching voice. Thank you

Outstanding video, highly educational! Well done!

Very helpful video. Watched it twice. The second time I watched it I had I pretty much watch every how to video looking for a little more info only to realize i was wasting my time. The second time I watched you explain in such clear exact words I immediately recognized the issue and what the course of actions I needed to do to fix my dryer. FYI. The problem I and other do it ourselvers is finding the replacement parts? Question. Are these parts pretty much all generic across brands? Thanks for the video it really made the difference for us.

Damn, girl. You are good! Best instructional video on exactly what I am going through. Thank you.

Best video yet!!

Great video and it helped a lot - although my Kenmore dryer might be a newer design because it's very different from what I see here. The burner is on the other side. The blower is not inside the cabinet, it's on the back bulkhead (along with the thermal fuse and cycling thermostat). Speaking of cycling thermostrat, on my dryer, searspartdirect refers to is as a "drying thermistor" and it has two pins, not four. You test it by removing it from the dryer, then measuring the resistance as you blow hot air from a hair dryer on it. You should see the resistance decrease. I just got done testing everything and all components passed - but my dryer's burner shuts off a few seconds after it ignites so I suspect the coils. However the ducting and exhaust had quite a bit of lint so my first move is to clean all that out and see if that fixes it.

Yes the best video by far ever!
