    I did it! Home alone. Dug out the tools from hubby's workshop. Followed your video and I now have a working dryer. Found two lost socks in the process. :)

    Carbon's DIY Garage you are a lifesaver! I found a few videos on youtube but yours is hands down the best one. You went through each step and even went over the soldering process. I have never used a soldering iron in my life I was so scared but you gave me the confidence to do the repair. Within 30 min (not counting my trip to Home Depot to get my very first soldering iron and wire) my dryer is back up and running. I am SO grateful. Glad to send a couple cups of coffee your way. For anyone else wondering and who doesn't have a soldering iron or wire... I purchased Weller 60-Watt/120-Volt Corded Soldering Iron Kit with LED Halo Ring for $29.97 and The Harris Products Group 0.5 oz. Rosin Core Solder (for electrical soldering) at the Home Depot. It was super easy to work with. You just let the iron heat up then touch the wire it will instantly melt and then you take that melted wire (which sticks to the tip of the iron) and then you place that down on the board where you are fixing the connection - like Carbon's shows on the video. It took me about 2 -3 times to get a nice looking little blob. I was a bit skiddish cause I didn't know what I was doing but it worked out. I let it all cool down for about 10 min and then put everything back together. Worked like a charm. I am shocked and SO happy. Thank you Ed!

      YAY! I'm so happy this helped you get the dryer back up and running, for way WAY less than a service call or (gasp!) replacing the dryer. Thanks so much for the coffees, too!

    I just fixed the F1 problem. Fortunately, there was a clinic in my city where they were able to do the soldering I followed the instructions in this video up to the point of detaching the circuit board, getting it soldered by the voluteer clinic (I had to instruct them on what I needed soldered according to this video, because even they were giving "advice" I did not need). You've saved us allot of money that we could not afford during this tight time. Thank-you.

    Your tip about checking continuity before and after is very important and appreciated. I'm fixing my dryer in my garage for a rental and don't have the power to check if it works, so I need to be as sure as possible before I take it back to the renter!

    I just watched another video on this same procedure, but I thought you might like to know that dude took 18g wire jumper and soldered the posts along the two similar traces (3 posts, 2 of which are close together on each trace) to increase the throughput. He says it shouldn't happen again and that the current being put through each trace without the extra wire is too much which is why it keeps melting the solder off. Since you said you've done it twice, (as have I, but the mirrored post on the other trace which is equally susceptible. All 6 are.) I thought you might like to know. I'm gonna give it a shot, myself. I appreciate your video, as well. I tend to watch a few to make sure it's the same problem, same solution. :) I also suck at soldering but these aren't micro components, so it should be fine.
    Thanks again for taking the time.

    • @CarbonsDIYGarage
      @CarbonsDIYGarage  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      That sounds like a cool, alternate solution. Thanks for letting me and others know. If you have it, or can re-find it, can you post a link to that video? So far the dryer's still working on the most recent repair (18 months ago). I've got the replacement relay to swap onto the board if it happens again but it sounds like, based on what you're saying, that may not fix the problem long term either. It would be great to know if this alternate methods works any better/longer.
      Thanks again for watching and the comments/feedback.

      @@CarbonsDIYGarage I also did mine last night. I did a quick test but I smelled that plastic burning smell and figured it might be because the wire was exposed, so I insulated it and I'm waiting for it to cure. This time the traces were totally blown out. I would have had to do it this way anyway. Not even a melted post. I hope this repair works. Can't afford a new dryer just yet.
