This video is for entertainment purposes only. I am not a licensed appliance repair technician however, I do my own work This video describes how I diagnosed and repaired my dryer after it stopped heating.
-All failed electrical components should be replaced even after a successful reset (fuses, heating elements, motors, etc.).

This is a thirteen-year-old Kenmore Electric Dryer. Model No. 110.66922501 - Type DDOT-ELE-2406028-CV54. This is a Heavy Duty - King Size Capacity dryer. The focus of this video is to demonstrate how to troubleshoot, diagnose and repair an electric dryer that has quit heating. Even though this is a Kenmore product, the brand is owned by KCD IP LLC, a special purpose entity created by Sears Holdings. Also, as of 2017, Kenmore products are produced by manufacturers such as Whirlpool, LG, Electrolux, Panasonic, Cleva North America, and Daewoo Electronics.
The main symptom of this malfunction that became apparent:
-The dryer continued to run as usual however, the clothes were coming out wet and cold.

The following products were used in the making of this video:
Replacement Parts:
*1. Thermal cut-off kit (thermal cut-off fuse kit) This kit includes one high limit thermostat with a limit of 250 degrees Fahrenheit, and one thermal cut-off fuse with a limit of 360 degrees Fahrenheit. The thermostat and fuse help prevent the dryer from overheating.
Part #EAP334278 or #279769 CUTOFF-TML.
2. Thermostat, internal-bias (internal bias operating thermostat) The cycling thermostat with internal bias heater will continually cycle the heating element off and on to maintain a constant inner temperature in the dryer. This cycling thermostat has a limit of 155 degrees Fahrenheit and a differential of 25 degrees. Meaning that the heating element will cut out at 155 degrees and cycle back on once the internal temperature drops by 25 degrees.
Part #EAP11741405
3. Thermal fuse (non-resettable) thermal fuse. This was the elongated white fuse adjacent to the thermostat with the two blue wires.
Part #EAP11741460
4. Heating Element - 240v 5200w
Part # EAP11741416

This guy is amazing. I am 63 old lady and was able to fix this on my own. You rock dude!
What an awesome comment!. I am so glad to hear that this video was helpful to you. Thank you for watching and hopefully subscribing. Stay safe.
My Elite HE3 stopped heating. I found the full diagram and parts numbers online and replaced everything since I had the unit open. Thermistor and fuse on the blower housing. Heat element, cutoff and sensor on heater housing. Each was available separately but I bought the kit. Saved hundreds of dollars.
Sometimes it’s better to replace more now then waiting till each component fails. Thank you for sharing.
Using this video, I just repaired my Kenmore--and it is heating again! $35 instead of $250!! Thanks so much.
That’s great to hear!!!!!
I just diagnosed that the thermal cutoff was bad on my daughter's vintage Kenmore from your video. And on top of that I smacked it on my desk a couple times and boom! continuity was back. I literally fixed her dryer for $0 Nada. Awesome video and its still totally relevant.
That is so awesome to hear. I’m glad it worked. I would still recommend replacing that fuse with a factory reset fuse. Thank you for watching and hopefully subscribing. I’m glad this video was helpful for you.
Thanks for the video. It was very helpful. I was able to replace my heating element (and door switch); I'm reasonably handy with fixing appliances, but this made the task much easier and faster.
Knowing how to troubleshoot the other switches and thermostat was useful in narrowing down what was wrong.
That’s great news. Thank you for watching. Commenting and hopefully subscribing. Stay safe.
My girlfriend thinks you're a superhero.. we have a newer model Kenmore dryer series 100, but you're reset trick for the high limit fuse is pure gold. New part is on the way but til then we can still use the dryer...no more clothesline.... BRAVO!!!
Awesome!!! Glad the video was helpful.
I just ordered a thermal fuse as I found that mine was bad and dryer not heating, then I watched your video and was amazed how you walked us thru the process of checking what the problem. The best part was at the end when you showed how to reset the fuse. Once I did what you demonstrated in the video I reinstalled it in the dryer and it started heating. My wife was not happy, she thought she was getting a new dryer. BTW, the Kenmore dryer is 29 years old and outside of the door switch this is the only thing that went wrong on this dryer. Thank You A Bunch!
Hi Chuck, I’m glad my video was helpful and you were able to repair your dryer. That dryer is 29 years old and I’ll tell you they don’t make them like they used to anymore. Try to keep that thing running as long as you can. Thank you for watching and hopefully subscribing and you and your family have a merry Christmas and a happy new year! Stay safe!
This is the ONLY video or tutorial Online I could find with a dryer identical to mine. Sure enough, the thermal fuse was not passing current. It continued to blow after resetting and replacing, so I looked at the heat element to see if it was grounding out. It looked okay. Then I started blowing lint out of the vent system with an air hose, working my way back to the exterior vent hose in the side of the house. A bucket of trash and one mouse nest later, I am back in business. If the fuse continues to fail (not sure that is the right word, since it is doing it's job) at least I can keep resetting until the core problem is identified, THANKS TO YOU!!!
You should have good air flow now. You should be in good shape. Glad this was helpful. Stay safe and healthy. Best-
SUCESS!!!! Replaced both the thermal cutoff (2nd time) and the associated 250 Degree Thermostat this time. The thermostat was the original culprit and that's why the thermal cutoff failed a second time. Working great now. That is why they sell them as a pair. Thank you WK for an awesome and concise DIY video. You ROCK!
I paid 175.00 for my dryer 10. Years ago.. i fixed it with help from your video.. but I'll be honest, I don't know if i should have.. my wife looked so disappointed..
ShartingFish - That’s funny. I bet she was hoping for a new dryer. Look at it this way, you fixed it long enough to find a good sale on a new one. Glad this was helpful. All the Best -
William Kasper I'm hoping for another 10 years.. with the dryer at least.. ;)
@@shartingfish5761 I'm pretty sure you will make 10 years. You may have to replace the belt and/or rollers, but that's minor.
You saved our dryer!! And possibly a marriage! This was so thorough and perfectly narrator for the absolute beginner. Can’t thank you enough. I know it was long ago but I hope those ribs were delish!
Awesome to hear that this video was helpful! Thank you for watching and commenting, and hopefully subscribing. Appreciate your support! Stay safe and healthy!
losing a marriage over a dryer? you are a loser
I have a 22 year old dryer Kenmore Series 90. Still ran but no heat.. Your video is excellent....you clearly show what you are doing every step of the way. It was very helpful to see all of the parts that affect dryer's heating and how to test. I had watched other videos and all said first change thermal cut off fuse. Did that and still no heat. Then found your video and after testing all heat related parts for continuity, found it was the heating element. Everything else was OK but ordered full kit for $32.99 on Amazon. Replaced and are now back in business. Thank you.....saved us lots of money, too. Don't need a dryer with wifi.....last time I checked, my phone lacked the ability to remove clothes from washer and place in dryer....!!
Great to hear I was able to help. Thank you for watching and commenting, and hopefully subscribing. Have a great day!
I really appreciate how many times you emphasize unplugging the dryer BEFORE anything else.
Hi Anna. Thank you. Just want to make sure people understand that’s a lot of voltage (240v) and it will kill!!! Hope the video was helpful for you. Thank you for watching. Please subscribe if you haven’t already. Stay safe and healthy.
Thanks for the video, very helpful. New subscriber
Glen here again... I tried your magic trick with the smack-reset, with nothing to lose, and potentially scoring points for effort with my tenants. The reset worked, as evidenced by my Fluke multimeter. However, the fix did not last until I reassembled the unit. Dang. I would never consider the "reset" trick as a permanent fix, for lack of trust in the long run, and I hate rework more than work. But absolutely, worth the try, especially since buying parts these days for the individual is a major challenge. I appreciate so much what you are doing here : thank you so much. Glen Moore Seattle
Thank you for watching and commenting. I agree that if you use the reset trick, you should probably consider getting a new part in the near future. However, I have reset mine once before and that was a couple years ago and it is still functioning. This will definitely get you out of a bind if you’re unable to get your hands on any parts. Stay safe.
Hey thank you! You helped me fix my dryer. I'm 55, a female and very handy and now I know something new!
Edit...the exact same one was the bad one, I followed your instructions on resetting it and it worked! Will help till the part arrives.
That’s great!!! I’m so glad this video was helpful. You saved $$$ and that’s always a good thing!!! Thank you for watching and subscribing. Stay safe.
THANK YOU! I watch lots of DIY videos on YT and your video nailed it for me. My wife told me that the dryer wasn't working. Did my YT due diligence and found your video. About 90 minutes later the dryer was running again. It took me longer to find my tools than to do what you recommended. THANK YOU!
Hey there, Steve, I am so glad to hear that my video was helpful for you. Thank you for sharing and hopefully subscribing. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and stay safe!
AMAZING tip at the end to reset the thermal fuse! If I can do that, I can have a temporary fix while I wait for my part to arrive, and my tenant will be extremely grateful! Thank you so much for helping to keep our rents affordable. Glen Moore Seattle WA
Thank you for watching commenting and supporting. I’m glad you found this video helpful. Stay safe and healthy.
I've been trying to figure out how to both test for continuity with so many multimeters,removing switches and fuses, pulling the dryer in out up and down for a week all with only one arm and this is the only video that showed me exactly how to do everything. Thank God! now I cannot cancel my repair appointment. Considering just replacing all the parts that came in the kit or leaving it be
Thank you for watching And I’m glad to hear that the video was helpful. I appreciate your comments and your subscription hopefully. Have a merry Christmas and a happy new year! Stay safe!
You’re my hero, thank you for sharing your talents William!
Oh my gosh. Thank you for that kind comment. Glad the video was helpful. Thank you for watching and commenting and hopefully subscribing. Stay safe and have a Happy New Year!!!
YOU NEED TO MAKE MORE INSTRUCTIONAL VIDS. You make your videos easy to understand. Great detail. Thank you.
Thank you for the awesome comment. Sometimes I wonder if I really explain things clearly. Your feedback helps and inspires me to continue. Hope this video was helpful. Stay safe and healthy!!!
Thanks for sharing! I had the same issue as you did. I never used a multimeter before and I purchased the $5 one from Harbor Frieht tools. I'm glad you showed what else to check for future references. The reset method worked for me but I'm going to buy another cut off switch. TH-cam is the best!!!
Thank you for making this extremely helpful video. I bought a used dryer that's very similar to yours but the previous owner did not tell me the timer intermittently freezes on 5 minutes which lets the dryer run continuously. Well I got the unit home and put a load of cloths in it and fell asleep. Won't you know the dryer was on all night! The dryer still works but will not heat anymore. I ohmed out all the parts you talked about and found a bad heating element. Ordered a new one and replaced it within 20 minutes. Thanks again for this wonderful video. I will have to address the timer issue one day but other then that the dryer works great.
So glad this was helpful. Thank you for watching, commenting and supporting. Stay safe and healthy.
What a great video! I've done this before, but it's been about 15 years, and your tutorial is spot on. Thank you for taking the time to record and post it -- I know it took effort, much appreciated.
BTW, we bought our Kenmore washer and dryer in 1993 and they are both still working, albeit with a few do-it-yourself repairs over the past 26 years. I'll keep these until they are DEAD and no longer resurrectable!
Thank you sir!!! Appreciate your kind words. Its very true - was a lot of effort and extra work to video and post but I enjoy offering help to others as others have helped me over the years. These Kenmore appliances are really amazing machines. This Kenmore washer and dryer have chugged through well-over a decade of my wife and I doing foster care (fostering over 27+ kids and adopted 5 plus two of our own biological children). The amount of clothes and blankets and uniforms and throw rugs that have been washed over the years are mind boggling. The workmanship and quality are truly amazing and as of today, these machines show no signs of failing. All the Best and hope your machines continue to Chooch along for many more years.
You are the man. Dryer needed a cleaning and thermal disc needed to be reset. Everything else checked out perfect and the dryer is working great. My wife thinks I'm "The Man" again thanks to you.
Totally reset my thermal fuse and it worked again. Your video was easy and to the point with great camera angles. Anyone with no experience can try it with your walkthrough. Not the same model Kenmore however the parts you showed were easy to find and diagnose. Thanks again.
Awesome to hear! Sometimes I wonder if my videos are clear and easy to follow. I don’t always feel like I explain things clearly. Thank you for the kind comment. I’m Glad this video was helpful. Stay safe.
William, I can’t tell you how grateful I am. I watched your video after my dryer stopped heating. I bought a multimeter and checked the fuses, cut off switches and heating element like you showed. The heating element didn’t beep, so I removed it and found a break in the coil! I’m waiting for my replacement part to get here tomorrow and I should be back in business. Your guidance was invaluable and your video was very thorough and easy to follow. Thank you!
I am so glad to hear that you had success fixing your dryer with the help of my video. Thank you for watching and subscribing and have a merry Christmas and a happy new year!
Great video! This was exactly what I needed in order to diagnose and repair my dryer. You saved me lots of time and money vs. calling a repairman. My only problem came from not taking a picture of the wiring when I disconnected. I was able to pretty easily trace wires back and paused your video to see where they all connected. Thanks and keep them coming! ✌🏼
Im sorry I missed your post. Thank you for the kind comment and I’m glad to hear this video was helpful. Happy New Year and have a safe 2022.
Thanks for the well laid out information. One comment I received from a tech when I had to have my timer replaced: he said to NEVER turn it counter-clockwise, because that's what tears them up. Always turn them clockwise.
Thank you for your support and comment. Great tip by the way. Stay safe and healthy.
You keep it simple and make it so that any one watching understands. Its not about you but about getting the message across on how to fix it. Glad I found you. Cheers
Thank you. Appreciate that comment. Stay safe!
Probably the best ho to video I've ever seen on TH-cam. This is your calling just fix stuff
You rock!! Thank you for the awesome comment my friend. I appreciate you.
Amazing! I already knew my thermal fuse was bad so i got a new one, but this video still helped me to learn something new. That reset trick is by far the best thing I've seen. 👏🏼👍🏻
Awesome Jorhan. Glad this video was helpful to you. Thank you for watching. All the Best-
@@SmokinwithKasket resetting that fuse always works?
@@daleg5553 Well..it too a couple of good thumps... but it did the trick...you might want to put it so that the little hook at the top is over the edge of the surface you are going to strike... making the strike a bit better.
@@SmokinwithKasket That's pretty high brother, my kit came with the Heating Element, both of those parts via Amazon for 28 bucks. I will link it below in case anyone here needs the Heating Element also. Of course, yours is a different model, but the prices can't be that different. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0829K9XCJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Loved your video. I thought I had a bad element. it turned out that I had the same issue as you. I didn’t have the part, so I did what you did at the end of the video and hit it a few times on the floor and sure enough, the multimeter beeped when I tested it. Thank you very much. I had to pull the entire housing out so I could test everything easier. That was pretty easy, though. I just turned it to the left and it came right out. 2 thumbs up!👍👍
Great to hear the video was helpful. Thank you for watching.
Thank you for the great video. Made the repair so simple, and made me look like a hero to my wife.
Great yo hear. Glad I was able to help. Stay safe and healthy. All the Best -
I am a DIY Homeowner this video is very informative right before i troubleshoot my Kenmore dryer. Thank you.
Glad this was helpful for you. Stay safe!!!
Super incredibly helpful! Not only was I able to fix my dryer with the help of your excellent video, but I also learned a lot! Bravo sir, and thanks!!!
Awesome to hear. Thanks for watching.
Thanks. This video guided me in replacing the heating element in my Kenmore dryer. Not same model but very close to yours. Total cost $23 (Amazon) and 1-2 hours of my time. Worked wonderfully. Appreciate you! 🍻
Thank you for watching, commenting and hopefully subscribing. I’m so happy to hear that this video was helpful for you. Stay safe, my friend!
Excellent tutorial. We have the same dryer so this was just what I needed. I’ve only been a homeowner for ~5 years but thanks to videos like yours I have found that there is a lot you can do to fix things before paying someone or buying new.
Great yo hear!!! So glad this vid was helpful for you. Please be sure to subscribe. Best wishes and stay safe and healthy!!!
William Kasper So to be clear, the 3rd thermal cutoff (the white one you had to check off camera) had continuity the same as the other 2 correct? That’s the one I’m not getting a tone on. The other 2 and the heating element are all good.
My issue exactly! And love that have the same dryer set up ! Is a 20 year old dryer so not all exact (the blower thermostat only has two connections , not four).
Got an E1 (if I recall) code a couple weeks ago so ordered and replaced the low temp thermostat (and cleaned the dryer and exhaust while at it), all was well, then a couple weeks later it stopped heating. Tested all w my meter (which should have done first time lol) and the thermal fuse was the issue. Have done all this a couple times over the life of the dryer (inc element), so have gotten pretty comfortable doing it! Still, your video was SO helpful in describing what everything does and how to make sure test properly (don’t use my multimeter for anything else so have to remember how to use it each time! Hence why didn’t test two weeks ago lol).
Gonna see if can reset the fuse as per your tip, while ordering replacement. Thx again!!
Hey Kasper, thank you for showing the 5 different locations to test, unlike the other 12 videos that only show the usual 3. Your teaching style is excellent and camera quality is superior!!!
tubetop36 - Wow - thank you for the awesome compliment. Unfortunately I don’t feel that I teach well or use the camera well either. I appreciate the positive reinforcement. I’m glad this was helpful and surprised other videos don’t cover more on this. Please browse my channel and subscribe if you find my content interesting. Glad to be of assistance!!! All the Best and Happy New Year!!!!
@@SmokinwithKasket is the best. My heating element is now glowing bright orange thanks to him!!!
William I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have saved some hard earned money at a time when money is tight. I just did your 'hack' where you smack the thermal cut off on the ground to re-set it, it worked perfectly. Once again thank you soooo much Knowledge is indeed power. Hope you have a great day.
Hi Justin. I’m thrilled you were able to save some money. I don’t know how we lived without TH-cam. Its saved me so much over the years fixing things. This is my way of giving back. Please subscribe if you haven’t already. Thanks fir watching and leaving your comment. Much appreciated. Stay safe and healthy.
I'm just amazed at how clean yours is. mine was littered with lint.
Yes it is interesting how appliances differ inside with regards to that. We’ve done foster care for years with a house full at all times. This washer and dryer have been out through their paces!!! This not a gently used dryer!!!
@@SmokinwithKasket ppl
great video, easy to follow, just fixed my dryer for $30 rather than spending $500+ on a new one
Great to hear!!!
Would make a good teacher. Goes through and explains things so you can remember. Great video
Your too kind!!! I don't feel I'm a good teacher though. Glad this video was helpful. - All the Best my Friend!!!
@@SmokinwithKasket to
Only took a five dollar part nine dollars in shipping and it was fixed overnight thank you again

Thank you Will for clearly explaining the steps in an easy to follow guide
Hi Nathan. Thank you for watching. Hope you were successful in your repair. Glad the video was helpful. Stay safe.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I fixed my dryer with your fantastic advice!!! God bless you and your family with all the goodness you deserve!
Wow, that reset trick actually worked for me, thanks! And, bonus, I found out my ducts were pretty clogged up so gave them a good cleaning. Superb video!
Great to hear. Glad this video was helpful plus you may have saved yourself from a catastrophe with those clogged ducts. Stay safe and healthy!!! Best-
Thanks for this excellent video. But I have two tips I could add. 1. Lay the dryer on its side, and access to the three components is much easier (can use right hand instead of left and not crane neck lying on floor.) and gravity is on your side getting the screws back in. 2. Whacking the thermal switch on the floor wasn't working for me, but a gentle tap dead center on the back of the plate right behind the switch with the handle of my screwdriver reset it first time!
Excellent advice. Thank you so much for sharing.
Best trick I have learnt in a long time to reset the thermal fuse, thank you.
Glad you liked that. Hope it will be helpful one day. All the Best-
I really liked your video. It didn't leave anything out. The other guy removed the housing of the heating element.
Thank you for watering and sharing. Stay safe.
Regarding thermostat, testing at room temperature can give you continuity and you will think the part is fine. You also need to check to make sure it turns off at like 175 degrees too. So you need to put on hot plate at 175 and make sure it turns off and continuity stops. Mine did not turn off and was probably the cause of the thermal fuse going bad. It is always a good idea to change the thermostat at the same time you change a thermal fuse otherwise you will just keep blowing thermal fuses if the thermostat is bad.
Great advice. Thank you. Appreciate your comment and support.
Thank you!!!
I stiked the fuse and put back and now my dryer is heating again
Thanks again!!!
Very good video I like your little trick to reset the breaker. Excellent.
Thank you for watching and sharing.
You're the best! I reset mine and it's not working! Thank you!!!
You can safely reset that non-resettable fuse by slamming it on the floor. You think I am joking...
Just did the slamming on the floor thing an hour ago lol
Could not see which thermostat wires you tested.
I just used your video last night to help take out these parts! Now I ordered a new set and I feel confident putting the new ones in. Thanks so much for this helpful video!
Such good news. I’m glad this video was helpful for you. You’ll definitely be able to fix your issue. Be sure to unplug!!!!
Best of luck-
@@SmokinwithKasket I gotta update! It is all fixed now!!!!! Amazon sent me bent parts at first so I had to wait for the new ones but I did it yay!
That last bit on resetting the fuse was a life-saver... "If for some reason you can't get to a parts store" - Yep. Quarantined.
Glad that was helpful.
Same part, same trick. This guy saved me at least $45
I can’t believe your resetting technique worked!!! I was blown away by that !!! I ordered a new part , but meanwhile I ( my wife 😉) can use the dryer.
Great job with the video thank you for taking the time to do that.
👍
Great to hear the video was helpful. All the Best!
Mr. Kasper, That's just amazing to see how to reset the thermal fuse. You're simply awesome :)
Thank you
Thank you for watching. That is a cool trick isn’t it? Stay safe and healthy.
@@SmokinwithKasket , are you a professional electrician or do it as your hobby? The reason I'm asking because I love fixing anything broken. I am a student rn majoring in Mechanical Engineering. Love to have a mentor like you if you don't mind.
I'm going to try it right now, I hope it's the same procedure for the gas dryer
William, brilliant bonus tip! Had just replace high temp thermostat 2 days ago. It went out again. (Everything cleaned prior to replacement, every component tested). Your reset trick worked, so far. Thanks!
Great to hear. Glad this video was helpful.
Very helpful video No BS, right to the point and with any added info being so very useful & necessary!! Appreciate you!
What an awesome comment and I am happy to hear this video washelpful. Thank you and stay safe!
This was incredibly helpful. I just assumed I needed a heating element. Didn't Needed a new thermal fuse. He showed how to reset the fuse that was bad and I did and now have my dryer running again. I ordered a new set of fuses to have on hand if this pops up again. Very well done video.
Thank you for watching and I’m happy to hear this video was helpful for you.
The beat video by far and i was just about to give up and pay someone. Thank you very helpful information.
Waiting on my new parts and I'll let you know how it turns out 👍👍
@@twolifes2live4 Great - Please keep us informed. Best of Luck-
By far and not even close!
Yes, thank you for mentioning investigating why cutoff went, my exact problem, no other vids even mention it, and close up on wires so I can put them back proper. Appreciate
Wow! Thanks for the awesomely kind comment. I’m glad this video was helpful! Stay safe and healthy.
I fixed my dryer by looking this video and it was exact same problem and your bonus tip saved my time and money. Thank you so much! Great Video!

Thanks!!!!!! 👍🏾 you helped me figure out the issue with my dryer just now. Great Video
Awesome!!! So glad it was helpful. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Thank You! This dryer is exactly like my mom's dryer which stopped heating, and so she sent me the model number. I bought a kit with both thermal cut-off kit (like you showed), dryer thermal fuse, thermostat cycling switch for $14. I tested the parts disconnected from wiring and only needed to change the thermal fuse you showed because it had no continuity. It only took me 15 minutes, and the dryer works! I cleaned up everything and it looks like the outside flap on the exhaust outlet outside the house caused the backup and excess heat. I reset the old one and saved it with the other parts. Saved us lots of money and time!
I can't thank you enough! We have the same model and this video was a life saver! Many, many thanks Mr. Kasper!!
Jeff Sullivan- Awesome. Glad it was helpful. Thank you for watching. Please subscribe. Happy Holidays.
I just want to thank you so very much for making this video! I was told my heating element went out and it would be costly to buy the part and have a repair man to install it.. Luckily, your video was next after the heating element one and I immediately testing the parts you said. Turns out it was the thermal cut off and I did buy the set even though it was the back one that was faulty. I even tried to reset it as you said, but no luck. The parts cost the same as in your video and I repaired it myself! My only complaint is; why the hell are the parts on the left side when most people are right handed?!? So, I did struggle putting the bolts back on. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
Thank you for watching and I’m glad this video was helpful. You are right!!! About the parts opposite the right hand! Lol!!!
The best tutorial ever. Thanks for the great and clear explanation .
Click the thumb up button if you agree ..
Thank you. Glad this was helpful.
While I don't have the same model, had to access by the back, my thermal sensor was exactly the same and was bad too. Reset it just like you did, now we'll be set until our new washer/dryer is delivered in a couple of weeks!!! Thank you so much for the video!
I'm glad this video was helpful. Thank you for your kind support. Hope you'll love the new appliances. Stay safe and healthy!!!
What would we do without TH-cam ?
I know it. TH-cam bailed me outta of problems many times!!! I’m happy & blessed to be able to create content and share with everyone. Thank you for watching, commenting and hopefully subscribing. Stay safe!!!
Be broke af
Thank you u tube
Thanks so very much for your time and expertise in helping do basic troubleshooting ,on the household dryer 😊
In video min 14:08 looks like your heating element wire is ground shorted to heating element case . That will cause heating element to be glowing all times while dryer is running. Hence fuses blow . Please test continuity between heating element wire and heating element case.
Hello. I looked and couldn't see what you were seeing. I can tell you that I tested the leads and the case for a short and it was negative. The coil did cycle during this test. I'm thinking it was an angle that made it appear the element wire was making contact but I had no indications that was occurring. thanks for watching. I do appreciate your input. Stay safe!!!
Great video especially the bonus at the end on how to reset the thermostat thank you for your help bro
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! We are trying to help the planet by fixing existing appliances instead of buying new and resources like this video make such a difference! Even though the space is hard to get into I could still see everything clearly. Thanks for taking the time to post this!
Jennifer Holub - Thank you for the positive response. I appreciate you taking the time to watch.
Watched this video 2 years ago. Just watched it again. Good video !!
Great to hear. Hope it was helpful for you. Thank you for your support.
Thank you Mike... hell of a guy showing how to fix this problem and not to mention that small trick .thank you again God-bless.
I slammed the little fuse like you showed us and after the fourth try it was reset and now the dryer works, thank you so much! Cleaned out the filter too!
Great to hear. Thank you for watching. Stay safe.
Thanks for sharing. I always thought the bad fuse was garbage and I had to wait on parts. Now I will at least try to reset it until parts come in. BTW, mention of firing up the smoker and getting ribs on had me glued. Lol!!!!
Took the bottom cover off of my Kenmore dryer and it looks almost exactly like the one on the video. I'm going in with my meter and let you know later how it works out. 🤞👊
Great. Hopefully you’ll find the problem. Thank you for watching and commenting. Stay safe.
Your reset trick saved the day today. I am ordering new fuses but until they come we can still use the dryer, thanks.
Glad I could help
This was very helpful and easy to follow! Thank You 💫
Thank you for watching and commenting. Glad the video was helpful. Please subscribe if you haven’t already. Warm regards.
Thanks for that last top secret tip. Could be my problem! I have a big Harbor Fright meter too. The buzzer never worked but that's normal for Harbor Fright. Thanks again!
Thank you so much. Excellent instruction, learned how to check the fuses and changed out the heating element. Showing how to reset the fuse was such a big help. Was able to reset the fuse to run temporarily til new parts came. Tripped a couple times. Old heating element was getting too hot. Dryer is running great now. Thanks again.
Great to hear. Thanks for your kind words and support. All the Best - Stay safe and healthy!!!
My dryer stopped drying yesterday. Based on several videos I've watched this is considered an "easy" DYI repair. Hahaha! So much of this is foreign to me. So far I'm still at be sure to unplug the unit and make sure to turn off the gas. Baby steps.
Hi meropale - thanks for your input. You should definitely call a service person to come out and look at your unit. Don't feel intimidated, these types of repairs can be daunting if you are unfamiliar with the basics. Plus you're dealing with electricity and natural gas - both very dangerous and unless you have a basic working knowledge and are comfortable working on this, and it seems you are not, PLEASE, don't risk it. Much better to call for help then to risk injury, time and money. All the Best-
I wish my Kenmore dryer had an easy access on the front. I had to remove the top and the whole front section of the dryer to access those parts. Come to find out mine is actually made by LG and sold as Kenmore. Good video
Thank you. Appreciate your comment. Stay safe!
I always like an 'extra' help fix ... the heat sensor fuse 'reset' ... Excellent ! Great video, thanks, Mr. Kasper, Jon
This is an Interesting fix isn’t it? I learned that from an old-timer repairman many years ago. It really does work! Glad this video was helpful for you and appreciate your positive feedback. Happy New Year Jon!!!
Very good explanation. I'm in the process of working on my dryer as we speak. Thank you.
Great video thanks really needed it for the recovery center I'm at. Hope it works here
Great video! I have a nearly identical model that has just stopped heating, and I will try these steps (including the unplugging it first for sure).
Thank you for watching and commenting. I’m sure this video will be helpful. Unplug it please!!! Lol. Stay safe and good luck.
Your last idea. I banged on the thermostat (I think it is actually a fuse) . I banged on it again. I found a marble countertop and banged again and again. Guess what,. It became continuous and now my wife's dryer works. cool and thanks
Great to hear. Glad this video was helpful for you. Stay safe.
Thanks for that trick at the end!! I have the same model and mine quit heating a few weeks ago. With a toddler & no laundromat it's like a lifetime. Hoping I can check everything out tonight after bedtime and get it working 🤞 awesome video!
Thank you. Appreciate you watching and glad to hear this video may have helped. Let us know what components were faulty. All the Best-
Wow, finally a quality video. Explained very well for everyone to understand. Excellent camera work and I can actually hear everything you said.
Question: you by chance to auto's. 🙂
Thank you so much for the awesome comment. I’m glad this video was helpful for you. Thank you for watching commenting and hopefully subscribing. I’m sorry, but I do not do videos regarding automobiles. Thanks again and stay safe.
I tapped that fuse/ thermol resister on the ground lightly 4 to 5 times and BAMM.. The heat element fired up. Thank you Sir
Thanks for this video, I have the gas version of this dryer. I hate how this doesn't have a removable back panel!
Thanks for the tip on resetting the thermal fuse. The part store closed before I could get to it. This helped buy me a few days in drying delay for my family as it was the weekend. Thanks again for the tip.
Glad this was helpful. Thank you for watching. Stay safe and healthy.
Huge deal I was ready to take mine to the curb you saved my day
.!
Great news!! Glad this was helpful. Happy New Year.
I am a professional technical writer of training guides. You did an excellent job. My dryer heats but takes way too long to dry. Used to work great, Thought I would ask you before I take everything apart.
Joe Shelton sounds like a restricted air flow problem. Pull vent hose off the back and fan housing off front and blow compressed air through the system. Also, wash the lint screen with hot soapy water. It may look clean but really plugged by small invisible debris in the screen. Hope this helped. Thank you for the compliment. Hope this was helpful.
@@SmokinwithKasket Thanks. Good direction. Mine has a heating element and first thrmo-fuse combined, they checked out fine. I disassembled the sheet mtl heat cowl and it was a mess: lots of debris and lint. Will see how it works now. Thanks
Thanks! You saved me money I didn't have available to spend, that is real help. Cheers!
Awesome to hear. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Great video. That little extra tip at the end worked like a charm.
Great to hear. Thanks for watching and commenting. Stay safe!!!
