Noisy dryer? Not drying clothes in 1 cycle? Drum not spinning correctly? In this very in depth video I show you how to fix. May as well replace heat element, fuse, and thermostat while you have everything apart. Parts listed below for my dryer although they work on many other models too...
drum rollers: amzn.to/3TvocJw
heat element: amzn.to/3fYro2x
dryer fuse and thermostat: amzn.to/3O0ItoV

Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts… Our dryer had been out of commission for about four years maybe even longer… We got into the habit of drying everything on a rack outside because we live in a very hot state… Your video helped us discover our lint filter was occluded with a sock and several Dryer sheets!! You saved me $800 and I cannot thank you enough

I just finished completing the same part swaps you did, using this video exclusively as a guide. Taking a relatively daunting and complex task and breaking it down into manageable steps. Likely added some life to this dryer. Well done and much appreciated!

I was super intimidated to do this on my own.

13:15 time stamp, you dont have to remove the whole hose, in the back of your dryer there should be this plastic cover that you can open like an oven door, then from there you will have access to where the hose connects. The hose should have this plastic lock which you can squeeze and pull out and it should just click back in as well once you put it back. Thank you for this in depth tutorial, I used it to fix our dryer which had a knocking sound. One of the rollers went bad and metal shaving was all over the dryer. Our dryer is 14 years old and all that lint inside looked like carpet. Definitely a fire hazard.

hello and thanks kindly for the great video. can i ask if you have any idea why when trying to remove that lint trap housing, my machine, which looks exactly like yours has only 2 screws. i do not see that third screw that you describe and show toward the middle of the housing. and i cannot remove that piece, nor the blower housing from below thanks

@WJHandyDad Жыл бұрын

I wish I had an answer for you. Make sure the screws aren't covered in lint. There should be 4 total, but only 3 need to come out

I got that check filter whenever the ducting in the house was clogged (which was regularly with this dryer - way too much lint got past the screen). Not heating up probably means heat element.

@@WJHandyDad It ended up working, only need to take out the screws to the metal drum shield, and left the metal stamped part + plastic lint basket attached. Took it all out as one piece. The downside is, you wouldn't be able to clean it out as you recommended in the video (it does get dirty). But I took that trade-off for time.

unfortunately I can never save that step because ours always needs to be cleaned, even if I cleaned it recently. That thing gathers up lint so much faster than any dryer I had previously
