I appreciate this video! This and several others helped me fix my dryer. Here’s a tip that nobody mentioned that would have saved me a $65 visit from a repairman. When testing to see if you’ve fixed the problem, if you don’t want to have to put the entire thing back together, you need to make sure the door switch is connected AND that you push down on the spring-loaded wheel that pulls on the belt. I didn’t realize you had to push down on the wheel to connect the circuit that would allow the gas to come on, and the gas not coming on was my whole problem. I thought I hadn’t fixed it, but I actually had, I just wasn’t completing that circuit to test it. I hope I can save someone else the trouble! I never saw it mentioned in any article or video.

EXCELLENT Video with no unnecessary distracting LOUD background noise/music! BTW! It is not necessary to disconnect both leads from the fuse or the ignighter to conduct a continuity test.

@normvargas2799 Год назад

Just fixed my Whirlpool WGD5200 dryer with the insights you provided in this video. I also used an inline amp meter to watch the various components' amperage draw as they came on when turning on the dryer. My dryer spins using 4 amps and then the amperage rises to 6.7 amps. I interpret that as the igniter heating up. A few seconds after it hits 6.7 amps, the gas turns on and the amperage falls back down to 4 amps as the dryer spins and gas burner runs. I replaced both gas solenoid valves as sometimes the gas would not come on and a soft buzzing sound was heard. The dryer now produces heat and my wife is happy. Thanks for your excellent video.

@kevinetheridge6153 2 года назад

I'll be darned. I think I found the issue with my old Whirlpool dryer not heating. Seems to be the thermal fuse. Simple enough. I'm very glad I watched this video as I've never even touched a dryer before (for repair purposes) and had NO idea where to look. Removed the fuse, clipped the two wires together (for a short, TEMPORARY test) to see if the heat came back on, and it did. I ordered a new part and will test when that arrives, but it's really nice to have learned something and made some progress towards fixing something without having to call a repair-person.

@mariotorres6287 3 года назад

I am preparing to fix my dryer, and your video is spot-on!! Every component shown in your video is exactly as it is in my dryer, which stopped providing heat. Thanks for the great video!!

@jonathandelgado8253 Год назад

Excellent video. Your video solved the very tricky problem my dryer had of the heat not staying on. My meter readings were all normal with unit cold, so I had to take the drum out, start dryer to heat up the valve coils so they would fail, and my meter read no continuity on one of the coils. BRILLIANT. Back in business!

I like the way it appears to explain themost likely issue, you the least likely issue. And all the tips given,may be common sense to some - but because they're explained thoroughly - makes this one of the best troubleshooting videos I've seem.

@demetriosa7646 29 дней назад

Just fixed my Kenmore series 80 gas dryer thermal fuse. I will never get rid of my dryer. No computer bullshit just straight foward and so easy to fix. FYI when testing continuity on a hot surface igniter don’t rely on the audible setting as the resistance of the igniter is between 50-400Ω and the meter will not beep with high resistance. I learned the hard way and ordered a part that I did not need. I will keep it as a spare!

@carmelom269 2 года назад

Kenmore 70 Series. I checked the thermo fuse with MM. Continuity says Ok. The condition I am noticing is that when I turn on dryer, the igniter lights up and the flame kicks on , the flame fires/blows for about 3-5 minutes then it goes out while the drum is spinning, and flame never comes back on thus, the cloths are not dryer because drum is not getting and staying hot.

New problem. my Whirlpool LDI5521N1 starts, iginter lights the burner starts. After a few mins I hear popping/rattling sound. The flame goes out but the igniter still is on and the dryer is still spinning. This happened a few times. Now I don't get a flame anymore. Igniter still lights and dyer spins. Today the igniter did not light. The flame sensor measures open. I shorted the wires of the flame sensor and the igniter comes on but still no flame. Any tips?

@floydallen4005 Год назад

How about this one ? It DOES heat....sometimes! Yesterday, it was ice cold; this morning, it worked, but only mildly. It can "kind of" WARM clothes, but might take 10 hours to dry a load. What could cause such intermittent "might-or-might-not-heat-up" glitches. Thank you for any feedback.

Hi there, have Kenmore Gas Dryer. heats for exactly 1 minute then shuts off. I have already replaced the coils and the 4 sensors on the back. Just tested the Igniter and it's reading 064. Seems close to having continuity. Would I consider this igniter bad. I'm running out of things to replace. When I start the dryer whether it's low or high heat, the igniter glows, gas comes on and lights, then shuts off after 1 minute. Any advice appreciated.

@johnrock4740 4 года назад

I have a question, our local gas company detected a leak outside and they repaired it. Once they finished they were supposed to come back in and light all of the appliances but forgot to make sure the dryer was lite. I have a Crosley gas dryer and I can't figure out how to make sure it's lite because after they turned it off, now I have no heat but the gas valve is opened. So can you tell me what's wrong, Please.

Question to anyone: Checked all components that were listed in video. All parts checked were good. Put back together ran one cycle and Dryer heated. Ran 2nd cycle and dryer not heating. Set temperature to high and dryer is slightly putting out heat. What am I missing here? Could it be the gas turning on and off?

“The Solenoids can have continuity but still be bad”. So then I does one best determine whether the Solenoids are bad. I have confirmed continuity but after the burners fire up the first time, burner goes out after about 5 minutes or if I interrupt the dryer (open door) then does not fire up again until after dryer has cooled down.

@root1657 2 года назад

That's why he gave a specific range for the resistance on those. They might have continuity, but be outside that range, and wouldn't perform properly.

@tommygunn7745 2 месяца назад

I short the 2 multimeter test leads out on range selection 200 ohms setting and It zeros as expected ,but as soon as I separate the probes to try and test the gas dryers fuse terminals the reading changes to 1 before getting to them. My instructions for my multimeter says if it reads 1 reselect the next increase ohm range which happens to be 2000 ohms. When I do that and short the dryers 2 fuse terminals it still remains 1 on the ohm meter . Any ideas what might be the solution to this wrinkle?

@amjacobs3865 3 года назад

So, for the igniter... That is not a definitive guide determining if the igniter is bad. Just because you have continuity does not mean that the part is good. The igniter might glow as you turn on the dryer but it never ignites. Igniter may be bad in this scenario. Now if you're not getting any continuity with it at all, its definitely bad.

My dryer stopped heating because of a reason I haven't heard anybody mention at all. My dryer had dryer sheets stuck to the exhaust port INSIDE the drum. I changed thermal fuses, cleaned all the ducts and filters and still it would heat for about 30 seconds and stop heating. I finally looked inside the drum and noticed the sheets stuck there causing the dryer to overheat right away. Such a simple 5 second fix. Ugh!
