I have another Kenmore model but used the same control board. Mine had the exact same issue and the burn on the back looked identical. Soldered a wire exactly and worked perfectly! Thank you so very much for the video!
Thank you sir. I appreciate your video. Our dryer (same one) had this issue and it’s fixed for now. I’m in the market for a new one, but am pleased for a fix for until the new one arrives. Thank you!!!
Question: Reference 2:04 in your video - there's a red component at the top (in the orientation you photographed) and it has a set of two brass prongs beside it to which an off-white connector is plugged (you have it out by 2:04) and that has one black and one red wire coming in. I am having a devil of time disconnecting that connector. I've tried prying from underneath, I've tried inserting the screw driver in the slot in the connector between the two wires (the connector has a split in it) and I've tried prying on the little fin that stuck out towards the edge of the case. I am exerting enough force it feels like I might tear the connector or do some damage to the board. I am wondering if there is any chance that the issue that caused the overcurrent *also* welded the wires inside that connector to the brass-looking prongs. Did you have any challenge getting that connector out? Do you recall how you pried it out? Was it tight?
Slides right off the top onto the floor then yanks the wires out of the user interface unit. I should have recorded that when it happened, like a don't try this at home video,
Thanks much buddy. You saved me $200 that I really couldnt afford to spend now.

Mine did the same thing. I'm not sure how long yours lasted, but for mine, that relay that it's soldered to went bad. I had to replace it.
Oh my God. Thanks for the video!!!!! Just did it and it work.
It’s been 6 years it’s your dyi fix still holding up? What is the circuit board number?
