Thank You for this. I followed the video and was able to repair ours as well. For the people wondering where to get the fuse. I used appliance part pros. put in model number from barcode inside dryer door and part was delivered in 48 hours. Happy wife, happy life
How did you know it was the thermo fuse that needed replacement? How did you test it? Was it the first thing you tested? What else should be tested for diagnostic? I have same problem with same dryer but need to know what to test first. Thanks
This is the most clear and concise video. (I watched several beforehand that were neither!) It helped me fix my dryer for only $5! Thank you, Pappy Mike!
I replaced the Dryer Thermal Fuse and the Dryer Thermistor right next to it and dryer problems fix in 10 mins! Great How to video! Big thumbs up! (HE5t gas dryer) I bought both off Amazon under $20! Thanks!
Thank you very much for the video. I got my dryer fixed by doing what you said. You had save me a lot of money also I am sure your video help other people too.
This repair of the fuse also works for the Maytag Elite Series He5 dryers, just another brand using the exact same parts and inside design for the heating and blower mechanics and electronics. Just replaced the thermal fuse following the video and it worked like a charm! Thanks for the video instruction.
Wish I would have seen this before taking off the back of the dryer. It was completely choked with lint so, I guess it works out. Thanks for the video.
PS. Would love a tip on how to disassemble the fan for better cleaning deep into the body, especially the chamber that exhausts, most videos stop at this same stage, having cleaned lint from just the front end and then focusing on the fuses.
Thanks for this video. I was making great progress until I hit the actual thermal fuse. You didn't show us how to remove the actual screw. The space is so tight that a drill or manual tool is difficult to use. How do you remove it?
In my case, I used an adjustable plier (channel lock plier?) to loosen the screw, then removed it by hand. Just the slightest of a twist is all it took. Having the right-sized socket wrench would have been the easiest path, though. As the dryer gets older, the fuse seems to be blowing out more frequently. Always have a spare at hand. 😃
On the dryer that I’m fixing the fuse doesn’t conduct electricity through it. But, when I by passed the fuse the motor turned on but then turned off in a couple seconds. Does that mean that I have a bad thermal fuse AND a bad motor?
Dude in my opinion you have another problem that u need to address , you fixed the ( no heat ) issue in your dryer but you did not fixed what caused the thermal fuse to blew ... That dryer needs to be completely taken apart , cleaned real good and clean your exhaust vent system ... Thats a fire hazard waiting to happen
Thumbs down because how do I know that I need to replace the thermal fuse??? You didnt show it not working and at the end you did not show us it working (flame on)!! I am just as lost after your video as before I saw it.
I made that comment more then a month ago, it took you that long to get back to me? I found the information I needed an hour later in a more informative video on RU-vid made by someone who knows how to explain what problem the machine has & how to fix it and show it working.
