I get so sick and tired of people dragging helpful out videos just so they can hear themselves talk and make stupid comments. This video is the exact opposite and I congratulate you, sir. Two thumbs up!
Part arrived today, after few broken nails and a cut, i was proudly able to follow your instructions and replaced it. My laundry is now drying. Thank you for helping a single mom save a lot of money. ❤🙏🏽
Oh my gosh! You did it. My husband was ready to head to Costco for a new dryer and I said, "hold up, let me just check real quick to see if there's a video on TH-cam that has some suggestions for troubleshooting." Not only did I find your video on TH-cam showing how you fixed the 'no start' issue on our exact brand of dryer....but you made a tutorial video that covered all the right points of "how to." Easy enough that we were able to follow, order the part from Amazon that arrived the next day, install the part...and VOILA....it works! Thank you so much for taking the time to pass along your knowledge!
Our Maytag dryer broke and thanks to this video, it only cost me $6.60 to get the door switch replaced. Our dryer lives another day. Thank you for sharing.
Fixed the dryer myself. I have a hard time learning and following directions and l watched this and fixed it on my own, first try. Thanks for this. Definitely an ego boost. I made myself useful
I enjoy your video mister. Maybe your not "a specialist" but like me, i am a all around w-e mechanic. Every youtube video are there to help those wo are willing to put their hands in dirt. At the end of the day=That killed a lot of "supposed to be specialist guy". Have a nice day folks!!
Thank you so much for your video, I replaced the door switch and the dryer is working again. My 96 yr old mom is so happy to have her dryer working. BTW I'm a 71 yr old woman who has to manage everything myself. I so appreciate your instructions. Very easy fix.
Great information! I have the exact model dryer and mine quit working. After watching your video, and before taking the back off to check the thermal fuses, I checked the door switch and it had the yips. Removed the switch, called the supply house and within an hour my dryer was working again. Thanks so much for a very well done video.
You are amazing. You saved me from buying a new dryer. Followed your instruction and replaced my door sensor and my dryer is working so better that before. Thank you so very much.
Thank you so much. After watching your video I found the problem (broken switch) and canceled the repair man that I scheduled. You saved me the $89 tech fee.
Your video was very helpful and guided me so that I could fix this myself. I knew it was probably the switch because the light had not been coming on for several weeks (but the dryer was still working until this past weekend), but I didn't know how to go about making the repair. Your video also encouraged me to go ahead and order a fuse with the switch to have it on hand because that is probably the next thing that will fail. Thank you.
OMG, thank you so much! I have this exact dryer and couldn’t turn it on today. $9 on Amazon and I’m pretty sure I can fix it myself now. Lights on inside and the door switch is working as you showed a working model. Buying the fuse. Thought I was going to have to buy a new dryer or pay a $200 repair fee.
Just replaced the door switch for our Maytag Centennial dryer. We were gonna replace this dryer until I watched your video. Thank you so much. God bless. I'm shocked it worked
Just wanted to say thanks. I fixed mine tonight. And, Actually called a friend who had the fuse after it tested bad... He brought it 15miles to my house for $35. My wife thinks I'm Superman!.. 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️😂
Nice video! Well delivered and straight forward. It was nice to see the testing of the thermal devices as well. If you had just done the lid switch some people would be upset if the lid switch did not solve the problem. Nice to see nearly all things tested. An uncommon item that may cause the same problem is the push button to start the dryer.
Thank-you … hope one of these is my No Starter Problem. It would be nice if you could list where to buy these parts. Great Video … Quick and to the point.
Wow! Now I know how to use the ohm setting on my multimeter! The first thing I checked was the thermal coupler and it read nothing at all, not even zero, so that was the culprit. Thanks a lot for the great video!
That’s the same problem with mine. For a while my inner lite wasn’t working. Today, my dryer won’t start. Opened door the lite was on. Looks like a quick fix. Thank you for the video!!
The light on mine also went off and the dryer continued to work for another half year or so. A couple of times I opened the door and the dryer continued to spin. today it stopped working. I thought it might be related to the door switch, should’ve looked online and try to fix it but now it’s out on the street for garbage pickup now. Shoot. Do all dryers stop working because of this or just Maytag ones. Seems like a good way to get people to buy a new dryer. I’ve had mine for 10 years though.
Thank you for the help on how to take the dryer apart and repair it. So I did the door switch first and it worked, then I did the thermal switches second and they all worked. So I hit the start button and the dryer worked? I started vacuum up all the lent on the back panel and it was pretty plugged up so maybe the motor got hot and shut down. Good new was I found almost five dollars in coins.
For other people with the same issue, the vent pipe was filled with lint. I cleaned that and the outside vent so wouldn't have to buy another fuse too soon.
Thank you! This video saved me big dollars... I was able to figure things out with the guidance your video provided. It was straight forward and to the point...very informative. I just subscribed, thanks again!
Fantastic video! Quick to the point solved my problem. bravo bravo bravo! Why can’t all the do it yourself or TH-camrs do it like this… Get to the point show how to do it bing bang boom! Thank you sir very very much!!!!
@@fixthemthings You saved me easily five to $800 because it’s a 15-year-old dryer and I wasn’t about to have a service call on it… was just going to buy a new one. But the door switch was clearly broken from what you showed and you so thoroughly and easily explained how to get the top off that I did it and it’s working right now. I owe you a beer or seven!
Great video and to the point! One comment though, if you had an ohm meter why wouldn't you use it to check the switch before removing it?...(unless you knew it already! lol)
You can try here: www.ereplacementparts.com/ You can get them at your local appliance repair parts store or many other stores online. You just need your model number.
Thank you! I opened the back, cleaned the vents, replaced the thermal fuse...not sure I know how to use a reading tool... But I can try! When you say you want "zero ohms". It may be easier to replace the door switch before checking ohms...or maybe not. Anyhow - for this exact model - how do I know which door switch to buy?
Most likely the door switch. Anything a human can break. 🤪. You can type in your model number into this website to find the part number then do a google search for that part number to find the best price. www.ereplacementparts.com/
@@fixthemthings My dryer is working again! Thank you for your help!!!! I replaced the door switch and that was the last piece of the puzzle! $11 total (thermal fuse and door switch) and I'm ready for more laundry!
It may be your timer. Move it around to different positions and see if it will start. I don’t think the timer will be worth exchanging. Probably better off buying a new one.
Thanks for the video. I have the same dryer. Would the switch still bulb still light up and click normal if it were bad? Would you know the part number for the fuses?
How does that Flicker Switch affect the power to the whole dryer when it’s really just a light switch? The Fuse is behind the control panel in the back. Wouldn’t that be the one to power the machine instead of the front switch? I don’t get it? And I’m not an electrician either. But I’m a pre beginner!
How do I replace the fuse if it's the fuse? I didn't know there were so many fuses. Can I purchase a fuse at HomeDepot or a Store like Home Depot? Please answer ASAP. I need my dryer and I cant get my husband to help me. Thank You! Sherri
Home Depot won’t have the thermal fuses. You can get them a an appliance parts store or order them online. You will need your model number. It’s most likely the door switch that is bad. Feel the lever on the switch and see if it flops around. The thermal fuses usually go when the dryer is full of lint.
2 yrs lol can it still be a door switch if it turns the light on and off. It feels a little floppy but still has spring. I gor one coming in after that I do not kno the problem all the fuses are good and start button is good
I am not sure I know how to use the meter properly but if I'm checking continuity and I read zero ohms...doesn't that mean the circuit is open? Also when I looked at your meter...I thought I saw movement or reading when you checked each of the other switches? Please help and thank you
Zero ohms means a short which means the circuit is good. It’s just like touching your leads together. If it’s say less than 10ohms then they are probably good. If your meter reads OL or a very high number then the devices are bad. The problem with these dryers is almost always the door switch unless your exhaust pipe is plugged up. If it’s plugged up then it could overheat causing fuse failures. Hope that helped.
I have the same model. Any suggestions as to why after about 10 minutes it turns off? Not all of the time. But most of the time it does. Sometimes I can turn the timer alert to the on position while pushing the knob to start it in and start it. Sometimes I have to wait about 20 minutes.
Sounds like the thermal is getting too hot and switching off. Check you piping going to the outside. Is there sufficient flow. If not clean the pipes out. Must be flow problem.
hey video is great but i’m not great with a multi meter my thermal switch on this exact brand reads 4.7 but when i touch the other 2 side of the switch it reads 0 ohms idk if it’s blown or not lol
@@theblimpgamrrjaris5511 if I’m reading that correctly it sounds like it is good. It is most likely the door switch that is bad due to slamming the door.
I have the same dryer and I've replaced the thermal fuse many times. Unfortunately now though my drum just won't spin, but it's getting hot like really hot 🔥. Any ideas ? I don't have a meter to test
Your dryer vent hose must be plugged up and needs to be cleaned out. Look outside at vent and see if it is blowing outside. If not, do not run the dryer until it is cleaned out. You don’t want a fire. Hope that helps.
@@fixthemthings Yes that's the reason it has blown so many times. Stupid design of my apartment has the dryer vent hose going straight up to the attic but I have no access point and there's no vent anywhere on the side of the house. I swapped out the thermal fuse again and it ended up working thank goodness. I just need to make sure and get a renters insurance probably on Monday morning
Try this site. Type in your model number and search for door switch. Although, I would just go to your local appliance parts store. www.ereplacementparts.com/?source=gaws&gclid=Cj0KCQiAt8WOBhDbARIsANQLp95Ca3mtzlNdOUlNqxvPTn0kD9_jJsHFaW56VnaVbp1rZa0aLGcqlxIaAr4yEALw_wcB
I change my thermal fuse like suggested in the video because my dryer wasnt turning on ...now it is working again but i have a weird noise kinda scared to leave it running any idea was it is causing this noise 😢 ? Is it because i put back the wires wrong way in the new thermal fuse ?
@fixthemthings it's sounds like a nail or coins spinning inside but it wasn't making that sound before just after I switch the new thermal fuse in I was thinking maybe I got the wires mix up ... I did clean a bit but not the roof since I can't get up there

@@chrisrobertson5852 it’s almost always the door switch due to slamming the door. Other possibility is if your vent pipe is plugged up it will cause the thermal to open. I guess sometimes it could be the timer but I’m not sure if that would be worth changing unless you actually trouble shoot it. I think they are expensive.

@@michaelpowell1863 glad I could help.
Thank you for sharing! It was the thermal fuse in my case, the switch was good. 👍🏼 Hero status achieved with the Mrs, bonus!
If your thermal was bad, make sure your exhaust pipe is clean. This usually causes the thermals to fail.
Will do, thank you Sir! Happy 4th!
It was the thermal fuse for me. Thanks for including that even though it wasn't the issue you ran into. 👍
Good deal!

Your welcome. Glad I could help.
What did you check on the thermonuclear and the other fuses? please explain as clear as possible

I change my thermal fuse like suggested in the video because my dryer wasnt turning on ...now it is working again but i have a weird noise kinda scared to leave it running any idea was it is causing this noise 😢 ? Is it because i put back the wires wrong way in the new thermal fuse ?
Did you clean it out and clean the pipe to the outside? Don’t want a fire. What does the noise sound like? Clunks or squeaks or what?
@fixthemthings it's sounds like a nail or coins spinning inside but it wasn't making that sound before just after I switch the new thermal fuse in
I was thinking maybe I got the wires mix up ...
I did clean a bit but not the roof since I can't get up there
@@CoachGarcia shouldn’t be anything to do with the wires. Maybe a penny got up underneath the plastic fins on the drum.
@fixthemthings u were right I found Allen key just now start it again back like new no sound Thanks again Boss 🙂
What kind of screw driver did you use for the switch?
I use this screwdriver for everything. Klein 11 in 1. Is this the one you’re talking about?

Good video sir! thanks for sharing!
your a great teacher
What does it mean is it reads .004 on the black switch where the 4 plugs are (bottom left) it's the 2 blue wires with white tips.
Need to check the push button start . I push it in but it won’t stay running.
So what if the fixes are bad can I fix that or do I have to get a whole new drier?
Thanks it worked...thanks for video
To where do I set my tekpower digital multimeter to check those fuses?
With no power on the circuit put it on ohms. Horse shoe looking symbol.
@@fixthemthings okay. And how did you remove the hose? Because I'm having some trouble
Did you have to order this part?
Maytag used to bragg about dependability, now they make more off of repairs than the machine itself! LOL 🤣
I have the same dryer and non of this fixed it. Could it be the timer?
@@chrisrobertson5852 it’s almost always the door switch due to slamming the door. Other possibility is if your vent pipe is plugged up it will cause the thermal to open. I guess sometimes it could be the timer but I’m not sure if that would be worth changing unless you actually trouble shoot it. I think they are expensive.
True. Probably better getting a new dryer at that point. Thanks for the response
Ended up being the timer. Only works when you sit and spin it back and forth till it finally kicks on
