I know this is three years old but it is still helping people. Thank you so much for this simple guide. Now I can go and evaluate my dryer and proceed with trying to repair the problem. It is old but I will always repair rather than replace whenever possible. The older stuff is made with higher quality so don't throw them out!! Fix them.
@@llowerythree yes even though the video is three years old, they’re all still the same. Trust me! I’m happy the video could help
I ran through the diagnostic checks you showed and found an issue with the thermal fuse. Now my wife thinks I am handy - thanks to your awesome video!😊
aha, this might be the best comment yet, brother. I’m happy I could help!
I don't have a voltmeter to check anything... I just ordered the fuse.. My wife is gonna think I'm an awesome handyman or a jackass if it's not the fuse lol
A happy wife is a happy life!
Thank you brother. You helped me fix my OLD whirlpool dryer FIRST SHOT!! Replaced that fuse and the door safety switch and IT WORKED!!!
My dryer stopped working this week and is almost the exact same model as in this video. I followed your directions, tested the fuse, sure enough that was the problem. Bought a new one at a local supplier for $17, replaced it and now the dryer is running like a champ. Big money saver. Thanks for the video!
So happy to hear that my friend! Glad we could help!
Whirlpool Dryer Thermal Fuse 3392519 did the trick. My local Whirlpool dealer had it in stock. The bag was marked $19.95, but they charged me $5 cash . It took more time to clean out the dryer vent pipe than change the fuse. A $5 item fixed everything. I took my ohm meter to the store & made sure there was a difference between my old fuse & the new one. I left the store confident that I had the right part. Videos like these are awesome! Thank you!!!!!
Can’t tell you how much I love reading this stuff my friend 🙏 so happy the video could help you. Happy New year!
@@theappliancedudes Thank you & Happy New Year to you, too!
Excellent video, way better than others I watched, thank you! I really hope you continue to make repair videos, the way you explain is easier to follow and far better than other vids I've seen. Other vids only mentioned 3-4 things, you mention much more, which is more helpful.
Thank you so much for the comment! We hope this video could help you, and comments like this encourage us to continue putting out great content. Happy New Year!
I appreciate you showing us around the machine first and your clear instructions. Thank you
Hey Rhea! Thanks for reaching out. I hope the video helped you.
Enjoyed your video...very well explained. My dryer still won't start after checking EVERYTHING. The only anomaly in the testing is that the push to start switch has the expected CONTINUITY both when normally open and pushed. However, with the dryer plugged in and the selector switched to any drying cycle, there is no voltage drop across the R1 / R2 start relay connectors - either when the start button is normally open, as well as when pushed and held in. Individually, BOTH pins show 120 VAC relative to ground with the start button in the normally open position which seems very odd. Any thoughts on if this relay is bad even though it's passing the continuity test?
Extremely helpful info! I ordered up some thermal fuses today since 3 of the hardware stores I stopped by don't carry them. Thank you for the great video!
It’s because the dam thing is such a common repair, man! Did you confirm it was the thermal fuse?
Found my problem to be the door switch, I’m glad that I checked it 1st. Wow what a video. Thank you sir.
Thanks for taken the time bro.. I went right to the button on the door, and that’s what it was. Thanks again.
Thank you for explaining everything you are doing. I have no man to teach me these things, and you explain it great for me to learn. Im forever thankful.
Hey Veronica! Thanks for reaching out. So happy the video helped you out.
Excellent, very informative video! Thanks, youre doing us DIY'ers s great service with content like this!!
Very helpful , never thought about all of these steps and actually helped me fix this !
Glad you enjoyed it my friend!
First of all, thank you for this video. It really helped me get started on fixing my dryer. In my opinion, you stop too early. In the video, you stop at the point where you say something about having a bad motor. In my case, I took the back off the dryer, removed the motor/vent cover on the left and found hundreds of mesquite pods siting in the fan part of the motor which was ceasing it up. Removed the mesquite pods and the dryer works perfectly. Some "rodents" apparently felt like that was a good place to hide their stash. People, don't give up where this video ends, remove the left protruding panel (behind the back panel) and check to see if something is binding up the motor. I probably wouldn't have checked had I not fortuitously seen a FB posting of someone finding a sock in their motor fan. Don't give up!
Thanks for the very helpful video. You helped me find the problem with mine. Wish you the best. We need more of you around!
Thanks appliance dudes for helping me diagnose and repair my whirlpool dryer.respect dudes
Was able to diagnose mine as the thermal fuse. Kudos for having the link to them.
You helped me fix it !!!!! Thank you so much !!!!
Great video! Helped me to fixed my whirlpool dryer. I was ready to buy a new one and I run into your video. Thermal fuse was the problem. I bought a $6 multimeter to test at harbor freight. Found no conductivity through the fuse. I ordered a kit( fuse and thermostat, 4 pieces came.)for $11 dollars from Amazon. I only replace the thermal fuse. Problem fixed. I checked the switch first which was good. I could hear power sounds in the panel but it wouldn't start. Sure enough the thermal fuse. Thank you again! You explained just perfectly to save me some 💰!
Happy to hear the video helped you out Obed! Make sure you clean the lint inside the dryer to avoid the thermal fuse from tripping again!
Thank you for the advice. Excellent and clear detail on how to proceed to the checkpoints. I was able to find the problem and it thermal fuse. I ordered the part @ Amazon and it is working great! Thanks again
saved me hundreds !! any one reading this -very simple just follow the steps .I bought a multimeter at lowes for 40$ and three of the fuses for 5$ -fixed
So ghost the video helped 🙌
Just wanted to thank you for your video. I was able to fix my dryer and save myself money from buying a new one. Very good information, content was great! Thanks alot and much success to you !
Just replaced the thermal fuse on my Dryer and it’s working again. Thanks 👍🏾
No problem! Glad the video could help
Hey. How do u check to see if the cycle dryer timer is bad? Also should I have my dryer unplugged while I test it with the multimeter?
When testing ohms/resistance have it unplugged. If everything else in this video checks out okay - there’s a 99% chance your timer is bad
Went through and checked everything you mentioned, twice. Everything checks out ok. I’m seeing on a few Google searches that there is also a belt switch somewhere by or on the motor itself? How would one test a belt switch? Thanks-Drew
Hey drew,
You would effectively test the belt switch by verifying whether or not the belt was in place. If the belt is tight (like shown in the video) the belt switch is good
I have a bravo dryer and the lint light is on and won’t start. Do you think it is the thermal switch? I did unhook it and tape the two Leeds together, but the light is still on.
Thanks for making this video. Pretty sure my repair is going to be a thermal fuse. Everything is clicking like it has power but the motor doesn't engage at all. This video is also good for understanding basic cleaning maintenance, componet access and safety. Well done sir! If I get it working, I will come back and comment. Whirlpool, same exact set up, BTW.
Yep, it was the thermal fuse. Worked like a charm! Thanks again! Saved me like $500-ish
Just reading this now, but not a problem my friend! So happy I could help!
Hello,great video, question same dryer,had one heater failed/shorted ,sparks ! anyhow new heater new thermals,checked timer,has continuity when on positions,I think motor shorted,I'm going to live test and manual trip thermal on motor see what happens, any thoughts?
Hey! If the issue you’re having is the heater circuit, you want to double check EVERYTHING in the heater circuit even if it’s all new components.
The biggest culprit is usually the thermal fuse (two blue wires going to it)
When you press the push to start button (with the door closed) do you hear the motor humming?
Let me know. Also, what is the model number of the dryer?
Also, highly advise you not to jump anything around the motor. The motor is a large load and should you accidentally jump over the motor then you’ll REALLY have sparks
Ok found problem,wire harness to door switch was pinched by someone prior to me being there, intermittent open.thanks for response,great show
@@jhenry7406 glad you got it figured out!!
What a great video and I liked how you went in order of most probable to least likely. This is the third time I have had this issue over the last decade or so and each time it was the thermal fuse
hi my whirlpool heavy duty dryer moter spins a little bit then stops but makes a humming noise...could it be the capacitor perhaps
You’ll be your main winding in the motor….. is the dryer controlled by a timer?
Have you done an updated version for digital controls? My Whirlpool has power to it, but even the display will not turn on. Have not yet looked at wiring but assume the thermal overload is downstream of the display.
Thanks So much! Subscribed. It was temp sensor the very first thing you mentioned.
Happy the video could help🙏
I was about to jump to the switch because it felt dead. I used your trouble shooting tree and it was the thermal fuse. Meter showed open, jumped it to verify and got the parts ordered in about fifteen minutes. Thanks!!!
Thank you for an informative and well done video.
Great illustration video,thanks for saving me some Money, keep up the good wor!
Thanks so much! You’re vídeo was a huge help in getting my dryer up and running again.
We’re so happy to hear this! Thank you for subscribing 🙌
Hi Peter - thanks for the video! In my case of old thin twin the dryer starts, is more loud then typical, turns the and then stops after 5 sec. I read elsewhere it may be the belt and rollers and I just replaced them, removed bunch of lint but it didn't help :( I also noticed that some of the wires insulation is somewhat burned. Do you think its the motor that went bad? Not that I replaced the belt I can candle replacing the motor, but don't want to spend bunch of time and $160 for the motor if it's not it. What do you think?
Check to see if something is bound up in the motor fan. Remove the back panel of the dryer, then the left protruding panel to get a view of the motor. This was my issue.
Thank you for your help m, however, upon opening my dryer I now do not see the similar component that I purchase(thermal fuse) to replace on my dryer, where else should I Chacha?
Is it a similar model to this? Can you email me a photo of it to contact@aimlogistics.ca
Thank you SO MUCH FOR TRYING TO HELP!! I just emailed the (4) photos of the Whirlpool Dryer.
@@indyjordan743 I messaged you via email!
awesome video,, simple to follow, keep them coming. thanks
Life saver! You are a GREAT teacher!!! You didn’t miss not one detail!
I love to make sure my viewers have everything they need to complete the repair.
@@theappliancedudeswhat about the temperature?
@@Michelle-n3q1v there’s no need to talk about the temperature in this video when the video is about the dryer not starting :) the heater circuit is covered in a different video.
@ ohhh. I assumed that would be another reason for it not starting! I’ll check out your other video(s). Thanks!
Well done - others are not as thorough as yours. Thank you!
Great video, OL actually stands for open loop pretty amazing how you got 220v from a 110v GFCI
Thank you for your video. I have a stackable dryer Whirlpool Duet Dryer that makes a load "buzzing" sound and does not turn. It lights up all the indicators on the board. Does that sound like it could be one of the problems you mentioned?
Hey Cat!
Any time a dryer has power but isn’t starting, there is usually something going on in the motor circuit. It could absolutely be one of things we talked about!
What is the model number of your dryer? This is usually found on the inside of your machine!
So 1-5 good. 👍🏼 you are the man bro!
But how do I check if the timer is good or bad?
Is there any way you would be able to share a video regarding that or explaining how to do it. You were very informative bro and very good at showing how to do it thank you.
Thanks for this diagnostic tips. How do we fix once identified please?
so mine looks similar to this, only three buttons/dials/switches. i can spin the drum by hand, and the dryer will fire up. many types of motors use start capacitors, but i only see a handful of wires heading into a harness which appears to be on the motor. i can haul it outside for a better look and flip it over etc. do these motors typically not use an external starter cap? or is there one on there, just right bolted onto the motor or motor mount assembly?
Very nice video ,thanks!!
Thank you!
My whirlpool (GEX9868JQO) circuit board (280071) doesnt have that wiring so I'm not sure how to check it. I don't see any but little box with wires coming out of it for the start button I do see these thin strips like circuit strips that would be on a computer that go into the board. I've changed the belt changed both of these thermostat things on the right hand side I tested the thermal fuse on the left side, It beeped and showed numbers, I changed the door clicker thing so Im thinking it has to be start button, which isnt a knob button, but a flat to the surface flat circle that says start it's not like you can pull it off its digital I guess. How do I check that or is that just part of the circuit board that can't be checked?
Thanks so much…. I just Learned a lot with your video my dryer stops working I following your directions, I just pay for the part 7dls and is working right now thx thx thx
So glad we could help! Thank you for subscribing
Great video, thank you for posting.
Thanks for the assistance, it was the temp sensor 👊🍻
Do motor’s all use start winding’s or are some using capacitor to start?
thank you. thought so, since voltage passes thru it..
I have a Roper dryer (model RGD4440VQ1) that stopped working. I've checked everything listed in this video and it all works. Power is being sent to the motor but nothing is happening. Should I replace the motor?
I replaced the motor and it still won't start.
Do you hear a hum going to the motor? When you press start do you hear anything at all?
Same problem with new dryer and yes a slight humming when button pushed, motor even works when bypassed
Great training, good job emphasizing the unplug safety…prob my fuse, start button or door switch. I’ll know in a few 🎉
Let me know!
Looks like the door switch no click and broke loose, which has been bad (opens and keeps running). With the 3 wired clip I’m guessing some safety rated for redundant magic here so maybe had a partial failure then stopped now. If so how about that safety rated switch 😳….wife went to lowes TBD!
@@mr.gladiator3544 I hear ya! I’d just replace the door switch tbh
Not stock at lowes, $8 on Amazon since! the door hasn’t stopped the dryer for years and no small kids we took the risk and jumped it out till it arrives. Clean have towels Again…..hahaha!
Thanks! found the problem right away
@@alfredomelendez8469 happy it could help
This is an excellent video....thanks
What is the little black box next to timer with blue wires running to it
I’d have to see the model - but it is most likely a buzzer for when the cycle is done

Hello my awd80agp has no lights on the display but it has light inside the drum
Want to get into flipping washers and dryers have fun fixing them been doing it a lot but don't know how to flip them on Facebook marketplace any tips
Nick! so strange that you just commented about this. We have a video on this coming out next week. We will also be releasing a FREE in-depth webinar on how to build a highly profitable business doing this. Let me know if you have any questions. As for a quick tip, stick with standard electric dryers (both front and top loaders) and stick to top load direct drive washing machines.
Stay away from flipping front load washers as their support systems tend to break down over time and cause headaches. Also, much more expensive to repair.
Subscribe to the channel to see the content coming out about flipping appliances. We will be putting out a lot of DETAILED videos on this in the next few weeks. You can also check out the TH-cam channel "Washer Dryer Money" for now. Hope this helps, man
Thank you sir , my thermal fuse was bad and my dryer vent tube was very restricted .
what about a kenmore with lint trap inside the main door? i cannot remove the panel in the front or in the back.
Is it a front load dryer?
Awesome video.. what does it mean if the multimeter does nothing during these tests? No beep, nothing at all. No number
I would assume this would me you have a defective multimeter
whereabouts in ON do you work out of? have a dryer issue, wonder if you have a business fixing appl. thanks
We’re near Toronto!
@theappliancedudes my dryer broke down, 2nd time. Not sure if it's worth repairing it..power comes on, just does not start.i am in mississauga..how much would it cost me for you to check/repair?
You are very good instructor thank you for sharing your knowledge . Big Gunns USMC Retired
Love this my man!
I have a Whirlpool Cabrio dryer model no. WED7800XW0 it will power on but will not start on any setting. It says "Sensing" on the screen when I push start. In diagnostic mode it gave an error code of "F31" but I don't have the tech sheet to see what that means. Any suggestions?
Hey! Thanks for reaching out! Am F31 error code usually means the dryer is missing voltage. When it comes to dryers, they require 240VAC to run. You have two separate lines connected to 1 outlet. Each line Carrie’s 120VAC for a total of 240VAC.
Chances are the line that is missing is the voltage line that powers the motor. Both lines need to be present for the heater to work. A heater always requires 240VAC
@@theappliancedudesI had to replace the thermal fuse & it's running now but what would cause thermal fuse to go bad? I always empty lint filter & checked the vent hose was clear. Why would it just all of the sudden start having that problem? It worked fine until a few days ago. I know the cord was installed correctly because my friend did that & he's an electrician. I will have him check the 240 outlet & the plug wires. Thanks for the video & response! *SUBSCRIBED*
@@tatchik77 yes, thermal fuse is the most common part that needs to be replaced when dealing with dryers x
As mentioned in this video, these thermal fuses are temperature sensitive fuses. This means the only thing that really causes them to trip is when they reach their maximum temperature. The most common reason they trip is when lint builds up in the dryer.
Make sure you clean your lint trap after every use. Make sure the ventilation is clear of any excess lint.
It’s worth mentioning that other things can cause a dryer to heat up such as a broken thermostat that doesn’t cycle the heater on and off and therefor the heater always stays on which will eventually trip the fuse. These causes aren’t as common. Start with the lint in the dryer!
You the bomb!! GOD bless you!
Not a problem my friend!
a ge dryer resistor should have continuity? correct..?
A resistor should have continuity, yes.
Usually the only time you’ll see a resistor in a dryer is the heating circuit or timer circuit
How can i find directions on cleaning out a G.E. dryer which is part of a apt size stackable. Im a 69 yr old widow. Im fairly handy with fixing and repairing. Never done a washer/ Dryer tho. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
would the fuse make popping noise when turned on then stop?
@@joshuatabor8755 no the fuse wouldn’t make any noise
I have a issue of my picture was lost, so how go about making sure what wire goes were like the wire coming from the the 4 connection thermal fuse on the blower side the wire to the heating element side where do it connect?
You good Sir, are a legend!! Thank you!!
So you mentioned the close sensor. Have a video on that?
Hey Gerardo,
What closed sensor are you referring to? I’m
Trying to recall when I spoke about a sensor in the video.

Samsung dryer, won't start, but clicks once, instead of starting. Changed thermal, changed the control panel, looked at circuit board on the panel, (no blowputs) idk at a loss. Any idea? Belt is fine!
Hey Veronica,
Do you have any power on the dryer? Lights etc? Have you checked the outlet?
@@theappliancedudes having the same problem with a Maytag model #MED5100DW0, it allows me to select the cycle and everything, all the lights on the display board work but when I press the start button it just clicks once and then does nothing, lights on the display remain on and timer display countdown remains on. Dryer door light and everything works, I've tested the thermal fuse, start switch, door switch etc all the steps that you've gone through, I'm thinking it could be my centrifugal switch. Thoughts?

@@theappliancedudes Yes sir. So far so good. If it fails again, I may reach out for some guidance. It's not lint, I keep that very clean and check regularly. I'm guessing it either went bad over time, it was a very large load of towels, or maybe some lint came loose and clogged it down the line. Not sure. Thank you again for the great video.
Make sure you don’t have a grounded heater! If the dryer gets hot too the touch or the laundry room gets overly warm, these are signs that your heater is grounded! This is a very common cause of a tripped thermal fuse.
@@theappliancedudes How do I check for this?
@@dmaisuria your dryer (even when off) will feel hot inside. Like the heater is on

how do you test the timer?
I have a Whirlpool dryer that will run but you really have to hit on the start switch to get it to start. So I’m assuming the start switch is going bad?
Yes I’d say so. The coil on the inside of the switch is probably defective
I have a whirlpool dryer sometimes when you press start button it will come on and run for a min and cut off. Then you have to cycle the timer all the way around and back to get it to start back again? Any suggestions?
Replace the timer. Chances are you have bad timer contacts. As the timer is rotating, it’s breaking the contacts.
Does it every run fully or does it usually stop in the same spot?..
Yes after i push start a couple times and hold it down for a second it will usually run through
@@Thanks_For_Playing1304 you could have a bad push to start or your timer could be defective. Sounds to me like you have an intermittent time, but there is no way without proper testing
Great Video!
Thanks!
Hope you help on this one, I replaced rotary encoder switch and the dryer thermostat and still does not turn on , I notice that the internal light bulb powers on when plugged in, but the led on the control panel its not on like it used to be (little green diode or led indicador on the control panel), also the internal light bulb on dryer goes off when I close the door switch, so I have that option discarded
What is the model number of the appliance?
Also, just to clarify.
Is the issue you’re having with the dryer that it won’t start spinning or that there is now power
To the display board?
@@theappliancedudes MDGT446AWW Maytag
@@theappliancedudes there Is no power to the display board, the only power I have Is the dryer light bulb once Is plugged in
@@jcarlosibarra8579 is it a gas or electric model?
I cant seem to figure mine out. I thought the light went out inside the dryer, but later realized I have no power to anything on the dryer. It no longer clicks like a quiet clock when I turn the timer, it wont start and the light inside is out. The outlet has 250v. All the sensors seem to check out so far. Is there a main fuse to everything maybe??
The plug itself could be defective! Look at the connects where the plug attaches to the dryer chassis
@@theappliancedudes oh this was weeks ago lol. It was the door sensor
@@dlf1976 sorry I get so many comments! I’m happy you figured it out!
I was trained that "OL" meant "Open Line" not "Overload"
It all depends on how people were trained. More or less the same thing right?!
I think it means both. I'm a power lineman. I have a Fluke Multimeter. When I'm testing load on a transformer, if the amperage is over 400 Amps, it says "OL" on the screen (it's rated for 400 A only). But when I'm testing continuity, it means open line.
Overload means too much power to load. Open line means no electricity going thru. Not the same.

How do you test the timer
Great video! I could hear the motor running but the drum wasn't turning.
Sure enough, the belt had snapped after 18 long years. $14 later and I'm back in business.
Thanks.
These are the stories I love to hear! So happy the video could help you, and keep us in mind for the future! Thanks for the comment.
Ontario California?
Thanks for the video. Looks like I need to source a thermal fuse.
Hopefully you got the repair all figured out!
@@theappliancedudes sure did. Thanks again
@@popo_53 Not a problem! Thanks for checking out the channel!
How about the switch on the motor that is triggered by the tensioner in the event the belt breaks? It shuts off the motor
When the belt breaks it releases the switch. Can you review that and how to test it?
Hey Ted,
Some dryers don’t actually have a belt switch! This is why some people complain about their motor running but the drum not actually spinning.
On models that do have a belt switch, it is usually in series with the motor. I will be making a video on this shortly
How do you check the timer?
Great vid! Mine has power “240 “ - door switch- thermal fuse - start button- and the thermostats all have continuity. No hum ,no sound at all. Removed timer and it looks ok- no scorching or signs of malfunction. I’m at a loss! Any help would be very much appreciated!
Hey David,
Can you send me the model number of the appliance :) this will let me look at the circuit for it
We’re you able to check the belt? When there is no hum, this can be very indicative of a broken or loose belt. You shouldn’t be able to put your finger under the belt
Belt tight - drum turns with normal resistance. Mod- AED4675YQ1. Ser. M41558845
THANK YOU!
@@Dodgerdoes Thanks for getting back to me with the model number!
I had a chance to go over the electrical diagram of your exact dryer, and I have strong reason to believe that if everything else checked out okay, then you are most likely dealing with a bad timer.
Here is how to check for your specific model:
1. Remove the back part of the dryer that covers the timer, push to start switch etc, (just like you see in the video)
2. Plug your dryer in, and turn the timer knob to a NORMAL cycle
3. Locate the timer in the back of the dryer
4. Grab your multimeter and set it to VOLTS AC (Make sure you're not testing for DC voltage)
5. Take your red lead on your multi meter and touch it to the BLACK wire on your timer (Labeled "C" on the timer)
6. With you read lead touching the black wire on the timer, take your other lead, and touch it to ANY ground screw (green screw) on the appliance (typically you want to touch a neutral line, but for simplicity purposes, touch your one lead to a green screw on the appliance
7. You should be reading 120VAC (Volts). If you pass this test, go to step 8.
8. With your red lead still touching the black wire on the timer, take your other lead off the ground screw (green screw) and touch it against the LIGHT BLUE wire on the timer (labeled "B" on your dryer)
7. You should be reading 0 VOLTS now. If you read 120 volts during step 8, this would mean that your timer contact that is responsible for sending voltage to your motor is OPEN and the entire timer would need to be replaced.
