61 year old Grandma here! This is by far the best repair video I have seen! My Daddy, (miss him so much,) taught me to do many things and I had a general idea of how to replace a dryer element, but wanted to see details and to make sure I do it safely. Thank you for this wonderful, simple explanation!
Wow, thanks!… and keep up the good work.
Hey girl. How you doin? ;)
well said! best repair video...
I know alot of people have told you the same thing over and over but seriously thank you ❤ I’m a single mom I can’t afford to buy a new dryer I just ordered everything I need off of Amazon for 70 dollars that’s tools included this is so nice of you, you really are helping a lot of people your channel deserves more credit
wishing you the best and God's blessing....
Thank you for doing this video! I'm kinda looking forward to seeing if I can repair it myself! UPDATE: I dismantled, diagnosed, and replaced the heating element by myself thanks to your instructions!! Thank you!!!
Glad it helped!
I’ve replaced a thermal fuse a few times. My dryer just stopped heating. Checked the fuse and the fuse was good. The heating element had a broke. Coil. I had never fixed this before and wouldn’t have known how to diagnose this without your video. I was surprised how easy it was to fix. The appliance store I went to had the exact part as it’s a pretty common part for a lot of models. Thank you so much for this video.
Thanks for sharing
Best video I've seen on TH-cam for diagnosing dryer issues. Mine was a broken heating element. Thanks a lot for the simple explanations
You're welcome!
Listen, I don't know if this will work yet as I watched the entire video before I tried the repair on my dryer, but you explained this process flawlessly. I feel very confident now attempting this diagnosis/repair. I'll report back on if I was successful, but please make more videos in the mean time. Thanks!
God bless you with wisdom, ability and favor…
Thank you so much, we are pensioners. I wanted to buy a new dryer but my husband said look on TH-cam. This has given us the confidence to test which part it is.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks, brother. My upper, high-heat, thermo tested bad. I would have just changed the high heater thermo. I have to say that your reminder to change the upper and lower has saved me aggravation. Rock on!
Glad it helped
A simple step by step instruction to troubleshoot a Kenmore dryer. And most of the parts are available on Amazon fairly cheap. Thank you so much for this video.😊
Thanks for sharing
Thanks man, you taught this “common laboring rube” not only how to fix his dryer, but also how to do a continuity test.
Adding this even tho it's been posted 200 times. Best explanation and presentation of any dryer testing video I've seen.
Glad to hear that. Thanks
Just coming back to say thanks for the help 👍. Mine was the timer. I followed your instructions now my dryer is back in working order, and saved a bunch of money! Thanks 😊
Great to hear!
I am excited. With 5 men in my home and no one has fixed the dryer in months, I will make an attempt. :) I am so excited actually :D
Wow, the most helpful dryer troubleshooting video I’ve seen as a novice homeowner I feel like I can replicate. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!...and you can do it!
Thanks for the in-depth video. I followed your instructions and am now a dryer repairman. Another "tool" for the "toolbox."
Excellent!
by far the best video on internet today, you saved my day and make me look like a hero. thanks bro
Way to go and glad it helped
I agree you kept it simple the best repair video I've ever seen
Another "Thank you" comment to say you just saved me a bunch of money and hassle!
Good to hear!
This was so so so helpful thank you so much. I really appreciate how clearly you displayed how to test for continuity and replace the thermostat especially
I've seen other videos as I research trying to understand how to fix my dryer and this is definitely one of, if not the most, clear video I've come across. Thanks for so much for uploading and showing everything!
Glad it was helpful!
I agree with Grandma - You really need to teach professionally! Thank you for your excellent video!
You are so welcome!…And thank grandma for me
This was AWESOME! I had already fixed the tumbler (wasn't moving- it was a belt issue). When I opened up the back to do a diagnosis found that it was filled with lint! Turns out I just needed to vacuum it and clean off the terminals. Luckily my house didn't catch on fire! LOL. But this is GREAT because now I know how to diagnose issues in the future, and will do better maintenance on the dryer from here on out.
This is an excellent video, so detailed with great shots and so much knowledge. I hope you continue to make how to videos.
Thanks, will do!
Thanks for the excellent tutorial. I have the exact same model. I had already taken the back off yesterday and found the thermostat that you replaced was bad. When you went through how to test all the other possible causes for no heat after locating the faulty element, I realized that I hadn't checked the high heat thermostat at top of the duct. I will test that to make sure. Thanks again.
You're welcome!
Thanks so much for being so thorough. I had issues with our old dryer. Checked for any lint clogs & cleared out vent hose. Nothing really filled in there. Then, checked thermal fuse. Good. Checked Door switch = super loose & not connecting, so got new door switch. Fixed the problem of dryer not turning back on.
Then, the dryer isn't drying the clothes. It does heat up, but doesn't completely dry the clothes. Going to check the heating elements you so kindly explained here & will try to fix the issue. Thanks so much!
Simple fixes, but without a professional giving tips & tricks, pretty lost, lol. And, hard to find anyone local that does this sort of work. Glad to pay someone else, but can't get ahold of anyone. Good learning experience myself.
This was an excellent video. So well done. My 24 year old dryer isn't heating but will run. Will do all the tests just like you showed. Thanks for taking the time to film this and showing exactly what to do.
Glad it helped and wishing you success on your repair
So straight to the point fixed it literally as I followed along same exact meter same problem even same failed part lol
i will tackle this tomorrow...very helpful explanation!
Glad it was helpful!…Wishing you the best

Incredible video for so many reasons, excellent job
I’ve watched this half a dozen times. ❤
Thank you for making this. Very clear and easy to follow.
Glad it was helpful!
This is great! I have a question - why do you sometimes take one of the leads off but then for others you leave them both on? Thank you!
wow, fantastic video, this one was very detailed, and you use Resistance (Ohm), whilst most are using the continuity function with the beep noise, so will try your way. Thanks for giving the list of all things to check.
Hope it helps you get yours fixed

Glad I could help!
Glad I could help!
I've run across a few pretty darn good videos about diagnosing and such, but yours really is top of the list. Bravo.... Just curious why you wouldn't check the thermal fuse first though, as I thought they would generally be the most potential problem.
Great presentation 👏 🙂
Thank you 🙂
Just picked up a multimeter. Gonna diagnose my Estate dryer by Maytag. Looks almost identical to yours. Wish me luck!
You can do it

Good video .. thank you
Nice video man. Great analysis. You couldn't have done any better. Thank you so much
Much appreciated!
@@helpinguonline My heating element went out the day before yesterday. I fixed it yesterday. Your video was very helpful. Thank you so much!
Thank You For Your Video, Sir. It Really Came In Handy. My High Heat Thermostat Was The Issue. I Replaced It With A New One And It Heats Better Than Before. Should I Still Change Out The Bottom Thermostat Even Though That One Wasn't The Issue? I'm Asking Because You Mentioned It In Your Video. The Bottom Thermostat Read "0.00" On The Multimeter While The High Heat Thermostat Didn't Even Give A Response. Also, The Thermostat Just Under The Fuse Read At "7.07" And The Fuse And Heating Element Both Read "0.00."
If it’s working I would leave it alone for now
Clear, excellent video.
Many thanks!
Thank you Sir. nice work just what I needed
Glad it helped
Excellent video! Maybe consider teaching!
I'm a 67 yr old woman and followed your directions. Same issue as in your video.
Way to go
Awesome video

Very helpful and easy to follow, thank you.
You're very welcome!
It really is the best video, but every single test for me checks out and still no heat?
Thank you very much for your help!
You're welcome!
Can you save the old heating element and use any of those heating element springs to repair your new one if one was to break down the road ?
Echo srm run great for 20-30 minutes and then start to run rough and lost power, after a few hours later it run great again for 20-30 minutes and then start to run rough and lost power again.
Thank you, great video.
You are welcome. Thanks for sharing that
Awesome sir
Great video. Have you fixed any dryers with a heat pump?
Hello. Was wondering what your advice would if the dryer is inconsistent and some washes it drys and others it won’t. I appreciate and help. Thanks God bless!
Could be a number of different things. Try a different setting on your timer for drying and see if that fixes it. Could be a thermostat going bad or maybe A loose connection… Etc. also cleaning the ductwork in the dryer and ductwork going outside May help but probably not your problem.
Thanks well informative video !!!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Ty that heating element is the only part haven’t replaced must be that
Here’s a real test for all you diagnostic guys out there. I have a basic Maytag electric dryer less than 5 years old that keeps blowing the fuse at the fusebox. The dryer is getting power and it lights off just fine and gets hot. It runs for approx 10-15 mins then blows the breaker. I have watched approx 12 videos including this one on how to diagnose the various switches, thermistor, thermostat and parts inside the back service panel. I have used the multimeter to test all those parts and I am getting continuity on everything. What could be causing this thing to blow the breaker???
You can repair the heating element by brazing it back together with brass or bronze and Borax as flux. Mine has been operating just fine like that for nearly two years
I changed out the heating element, all the thermostats and I have continuity at the timer switch, but still no hot air
Hello, the heating eliminate went out so we bought a kit, but once we put everything back together it gets hot enough it blows the thermal fuse, I changed out all the Thermal Cutout Fuse, High Limit thermostat, and the Cycling thermostat. the vents are clear out side and inside the dryer vent is too, I never used the L250-80F fuse not sure if it suppose to go on top where the Thermal Cutout fuse goes are what. I have the 309F Thermal Fuse Cutout Up top on the heating
eliminate. I have the High Limit going to the Heating Elements Terminals. and i have the L155-25f fuse going to the Cycling Thermostat.
Thank you!! 😊
You’re welcome 😊
You’re a life saver. TYVM!
Glad I could help
