Excellent presentation, technical skills, and helpful, one of the best YT videos i have seen a long time.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO MAKE THIS VIDEO. I CHANGED THE HEATER COIL MYSELF FOR $19.00. IF IT WASN'T FOR YOUR DETAILED VIDEO I WOULD HAVE CALLED A SERVICE COMPANY AND PIAD MOST LIKELY HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS. ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR KINDNESS AND WISDOM!

lol how can someone not like this. It's factual, practical and easy to follow. Good job mate, thanks for taking the time to do this.

Thank you! Just fixed my Maytag Neptune 2005 dryer with a $27 part from Amazon by myself!! Part on Amazon-Azdele Store- Samsung Dryer Heating Element DC47-00019A. Reviews say the replacement parts go bad annually but this was second time for us and the first replacement last 3 years. Well worth the money. Dryer is super hot again. THANK YOU!!

Aaron, Thank you so much for this video. We have the exact dryer with the no-heat symptom. After watching your vid and testing, ours had the same failure as yours. I was able to pick up an entire spare parts kit off "the jungle". Turns out this same kit fits MANY dryer models out there. The kit cost $18+ and came with all three thermostats, the thermistor as well as the heating element. Now our dryer is working again and I have spare parts if it gives out again.

That was awesome I have the exact same dryer and I'm about to tear apart with confidence😊 thank you😊

Great video. I like how you give the values for the components. Mine ended up just being the blower was full of lint.I had to do a master reset when I was done.

This was a perfect video. My dryer decided to stop heating. Great Fathers Day present. 12 yr old Maytag Neptune model MDE9700AYW, the same as in this video. Followed the same steps and mine ended up being the heating element itself. Part #: 35001247. Found a local shop that had the part. $88 and about 30 minutes of re-assembly and it was working great. Much appreciation. You saved me a lot of time and money.

Same thing with mine. Over 20 years old. Thanks for the video. Helped a lot. Unfortunately for me the washer gave out years ago. The drum was damaged.

I just want to say Thank You so much. You just saved us so much money on a repair call. I cant believe i found a video of the exact dryer we have and exact problem also. Same exact part is bad on our dryer. ordered off amazon, oem part for 15$.

Thanks so much. My model is a different year but basically the same guts. Turns out the thermistor failed. Thanks for your video. Saves calling in a tech and I feel pretty accomplished!

Just used this video to diagnose mine not heating ... turned out to be the exact same problem you encountered. Thanks for the very informative and easy to follow video.

This video helped me tremendously. Followed the steps and found that my heating coil needed to be replaced. I was able to pick one up online for around $40 and my dryer is up and running. Two thumbs up! 👍👍

Third time I have referred to this video and each time I was able to get this machine back up and running very greateful to you for you for a very informative video

I am another grateful person who completely avoided an expensive service call by switching out the exact same part thanks to your very clear and detailed video. I was so happy, I changed out the heater coil and the other thermostat while I was at it for $40 total. Maybe I can get a few more years out of this aging machine. Thanks!

Stumbled on this because my dryer runs for a few seconds then stops. Heat is fine but just have a documented disassembly video is priceless. Thank you so much for your service. I subscribed because like you I have a range of items that are old and need service. Thanks again.

Followed tutorial, definitely had a bad thermostate and the thermal fuse on the back was bad. Two weeks to get all the parts in and repair. Thanks man saved a college student a bunch of money

This video worked perfectly, thank you for your help. I bought a multimeter for $30 and did exactly what you showed in the video and it ended up being the heating element. I ordered the part online for around $20 and 2 days later it's working like new again. Thank you again for helping me save our dryer, that is the exact same model of the one in your video. I was on my way to go buy a new dryer when my wife convinced me to do otherwise, which of course was the right decision.

Thank you for such a great video. You helped us fix our dryer for $10. We are extremely grateful for you for taking the time to make this video. :-) Have a great day!

This was super helpful! Saved me from buying a new dryer and only cost me $30 for replacement parts! Thanks for posting.

Your video was just what I needed. I had exactly the same problem you had but it cost me $29.95 for that part you paid just over $7 for. Must be inflation

Thanks for making and sharing this video. Now I feel confident to check and fix my dryer.

Thanks for this video! Was a little hesitant to tear into our dryer. After a good cleaning, turns out thermostat #2 and #3 were bad. Parts were a little high at $90, but way better than a new dryer. Plus everything costs more now

Outstanding video, thank you. BTW the part you replaced (apologies to the chat if this is mentioned earlier) is the thermal fuse, not the thermistor. My multimeter detected good sensors on the heating elements but there was a bad thermistor where you found those coming off the motor/venting. It is still all apart and I will be putting back together in the next little while.

Good Job I have one just like that light up code E 5 won't start

Nice detailed video. Fixed our old Neptune. Was the heating element but I did ohm test all the sensors.

Had the same thermistor go bad twice - you have saved my bacon twice now :)

This is a great video. I believe I have a 2005 model. I’m going to take it apart tomorrow and test it via your directions. Thank you

"Let's see how many of these I can drop into the machine." I see you have done this type of work before! lol

Awesome video - helped immensely - it turns out my heater element had a broken wire - hence no heat. $19 for a new heating element and few hours later I'm up and running. Thanks!!

That is great to know about yourself. By the way just 30 minutes only instead of 60 is exactly how short we wish every single loads of laundry would take to dry in all cases.

Thanks dude! I just diagnosed two broken thermostats. This is why that Maytag guy has nothing to do!

Thank you so much for this video. I had to laugh because i went through the same process trying to find how to get to the heating element. When i took off the little panel in the back and pulled off the vent tube i said the same thing as you did...thats awful going to get my shop vac. At that point i realized the element was most likely in the front but i could not figure out how to get the front panel off. Thats when i started searching videos. Yours was the only helpful one i found. Once i watched it, i was able to finish the job rather quickly.

Same exact model same exact issue. Hopefully mine doesn't keep failing like yours and this fix lasts for awhile. Not really interested in buying another dryer. Great video thanks!

Thanks for the ohm readings. My heating element was bad, and so was my thermistor.

Excellent job. Direct and to the point.

Thank you. I have exact same dryer I bought used a month ago and stop heating. I will follow this video.

Another thank you!

Very helpful! diagnosed and resolved problem with a $5 part. Thank you!

Great video! Was able to easily take machine apart and diagnose the problem! Mine was the heating element itself. New part is on the way! Thank you for saving me serious time and cash!!

Thanks for making this video my problem was the same as yours got the part for $11 and it works 🤗 Wife happy. And the told me it would be $350 to fix.

Nice video! I have replaced these parts before but need a refresher now and again.

Thank you so much. I have the same kind myself. The control panel went out on the washing machine. Can't get another one ordered. Quit producing them. Now trying to find an replacement part for dryer. At Christmas, they could order the parts. Now claiming that they will have to find an matching part.

Good video just don’t forget safety first, gloves, shoes and belt extremely recommended

Thanks! Helped me a lot!!

Found this video extremely helpful. Thank you so much. I had to replace the heating element. Again thank you so much.

Great video!! Saved me hours and maybe even a repair bill.

Awesome Video Sir , our dryer is the same make and model and it just quit working, is not coming on at all Will use your video as a tool thank you. I'll keep you inform once I inspect it Thanks.

Hi Aaron, Thanks for the video. It’s a great presentation. I got the same model and year and same problem with thermostat 3. I have replaced it 3 times so far and blows out again but I have not check it thermostat 1 yet. I cleaned the duct and vent but still having the same problem. Thanks

Thank you! Saved me some money.

This video was a godsend! Thank you for making my repair incredibly easy.

My word, Sir this video was amazing!! Step by step to perfection! Our problem did end up being the heating coil, but will your guidance we were able to pinpoint it exactly! We were able to get a kit off of amazon to replace the coil and all the thermometers for $35. It's working perfectly! Thanks for helping us save hundreds of dollars!!

Thanks Lots you helping me a lot

Thanks for the help! I think I’ve got the same problem with the same part. My problem now is in my haste I’m not sure which wires go where on the thermostats and thermo cut off etc. anyone have a guide how to hook it back up?

My dad put a tester on all 3 and the tester moved on all 3 things but he doesn't know how to use the testers he has. Mine does the same thing doesn't heat. No codes. Same dryer. And the elements look fine

Film has alot hands on very good but hard to find

I cleaned everything up put it back together and still not warming up. No codes. I ordered those parts and hoping that works.

I fixed this dryer 2x now. It worked for 3 days after changing all the pieces on that metal box. Then it started squeaking. I took the whole machine apart and cleaned all the wheels and sucked all the dust out. Worked for 3 days and now it doesn’t heat again. I don’t know what else to do to fix this machine.

Thanks for this video, helped alot ingettinng it apart and test the thethermostats (the two on the heatrer element were both shorted). $20.00 at amazn=on and we're back in business. Again thatnks.

Hey Aaron thanks so much for posting this video! About a month ago I watched it and it helped me fix my Dryer. I also had to replace thermostat 3. Was an easy by and worked after putting it in. However, not even a month later thermostat 3 broke again. Any idea on why this might of happened? I'm going to buy another one, but my hunch is that thermostat will get burnt out as well. Something the dryer might be doing perhaps?

Very nice video, I have the same model and followed your steps to fix. Can you advise which color wires go where. This is the last step I am not sure of connecting the wires back.

Hi Aaron, your video has saved me twice ... two different thermostats have failed over the past year. Now, my unit is not heating again, but all of the thermostats, thermisters and the heading unit are testing fine with my multimeter. Not throwing off any codes either. Any ideas?

Hello Aaron S Rose. This is Cathy and I am doing good. How are you doing.

For anyone with a 2005ish maytag neptune dryer that starts to cycle and then goes to cool down cycle after 2~3 minutes its the thermistor. Or at least check the thermistor. 5$ on ebay :)

My solution to my 220v Electric Maytag Neptune MDE5500AYQ not heating at all. It turned out to be my Jumper Wire from the insulator to the High-Limit Thermostat was burnt and disconnected at the female terminal. I suspect in the past before I had the dryer it had taken a lightning strike that had it barely holding on and finally gave out. I put a new terminal on it..ran the dryer and kept feeling the wire, it never got hot so that is all I can think of as to why. I tested continuity on the high limit thermostat, cycling thermostat, thermal fuse and all was good and so was the thermistor @ 77 degrees fahrenheit it was 10k ohms.

Where did you find the service manual? Id love to put mine in service mode and see all the diagnostics I can do, but I have never found a service manual

It's the only video out with same exact dryer

My manual says the heater wires should be black and blue. But I have red and blue. Can you advise me on this?

Extremely helpful thank you 👍

Thanks great DIY video. I have similar problem with my Neptune although it heats but little. Anyway can you can tell me the part name so i can order.

I had to look up the quote worth knowing you referanced

THANK YOU!!! Now to check mine, when you checked the small less that 1 ohm what did you turn the gadget thing to (ohm meter I think) the 10 ohms I heard set it on 200 resistance but I may have missed the other one, I saw you turned it to something else to check the smaller ohm.

Nice job. Good video.

Hello, my red and blue cable thermistor gives me 8,000 instead of the 12,000 as seen in your video, does that mean it is damaged? my dryer does not heat

Mine is the gas dryer. There is something infront of the heating coil box. Mine is a cylinder too. Please help

Hey Aaron, I followed your video crazy video replace my thermistor like 2 weeks ago clean the entire dryer and the stupid thing ran for like to dry two loads of clothes three loads of clothes maybe last week went to check it this week and now the stupid thing and drying clothes again I haven't tested it yet but if anybody out there has got any idea it showing codes of 10 and 11 is what it's showing on when I do a Diagnostics on it?

Love the koozie! Go Cowboys!!!

What is the part number for the thermostat 3. I typed in the number I found on it on Amazon and it brought up a piece that looks like it but it was for Samsung. I ordered that in hopes it work, but if it doesn't what was the part number and site you used?

Can you send a link to that part you fixed?

Seems heating now after I replaced the thermistor but mine was showing 68 and 20 temp when i ran system check. What's the right temp range?

I replaced all those thermistors and everything on the heating element and the other two out front. I still do not get heat to my element. And my element is good. What do i need to do now?

Thanks Aaron! My 2006 just stopped heating last night. Your video was perfect! Mine was the heating element. Local appliance parts shop said heating element number was 35001159 and discontinued and they cannot get a replacement., Thanks to bluesteelrider below, i found 35001247 online for $17. Will be up and running Monday.

Hello, I believe I have same maytag Neptune dryer, do by any chance remember what was the part number for the thermostat and where u got it from Dryer model no: MDE9700ayw

What was the part #

I have the same dryer and I didnt mark wires

where did you find the book that shows where the wires go? I opened mine and cannot figure out what wire goes where

This was EXACTLY what I was looking for. where did you buy the replacement parts

I bought this dryer used and it does not heat it's the thermostat 3 just like in the video but I don't know where to find my model number or part number to order the right one can you please help

Hello, I have watch this video over and over. I have change the thermistor and th1 and checked th1 and th3 and Heater. Sometimes I get 0.0 readings on the Th is that normal? I also keep getting on the screen display a code looks like an E5 but the “E” top line of the “E” is missing so it makes it look like a “F” upside down. Can you help me in finding out the code list.

Hello, did you say that if that switch goes bad, the dryer stops working?

Hey Aaron, wondering where you found the manuals that show the Ohm readings? Thanks a bunch!

Does anybody have a link to a replacement for thermostat 3? Thx in advance.

first step-unplug the machine and be careful with the board their is capacitors on there

A gas dryer would be a lot easier and more economical.

How do I do a self test on this machine ?

I need to know if you can help me with what color goes where

My wife and I watched your video on replacing the heating element on our Maytag Neptune dryer and I disconnected the plugs to the thermostats without paying attention how it was connected originally hooked up. Can you help me please

How do you take the thermostat out of the bracket it sits in. What tool did you use?

How do I run a diagnostic test on it? To show me a code.

Hey so what if the transistor is 66 ohms? Could that cause the machine to not start?
