Ah, hell, what bad news. He sounded like the kinda guy I'd want to have a couple of beers with. What's frickin' weird about this is his videos will live on and help others for a few more decades.
I know this video is 8yrs old, but yours are the most coherent explanations. I have a mle2000ayw, the blue BU connection on the dryer timer melted off completely. The dryer will run, but no heat. I appreciate your help if you can. Thanks!!
Dude, you nailed it. Awesome, to the point video and easily understood. Lighting, audio and clarity were all on-point. I've subscribed. Wish I could've seen how you removed front cover of dryer, ours is maytag electric GDI603. Any idea what the "I" stands for to indicate electric?
Hey Bill thanks for the email it was the motor I was able to get another one install it ended that dryer is working fine now thanks to you thank you very very much
Well that sucks, looks like I have to tear into it again, I have a beautiful Maytag A106/DE106 set built back in 1979! Both clean and rust free, though both have a few chips in the coating from over the years.
Thank you for the great video. Question, when you hooked up the meter you showed it attached to the thermostat on the upper right side of the housing, however, where was it attached to on the bottom left side? Is there a switch or thermostat down there or was it attached to the frame? Thanks again for all your videos.
I have Samsung dryer and the thermal fuse blow after 10 - 15 minutes .. everything is clean inside . I been trying diferents brands thermo fuse.. can you help me?
My dryer seems to work fine except it remains on a fluff heat. I followed this video and so far so good. I also replaced the infinite heat rheostat and the timer module. If the thermostat you mentioned first in this video has continuity does it mean it is working fine or could it still be restricting the heater from getting hotter? What could my dryer's problem be?
Question- I have a Maytag dryer that is running but not heating for a very long time. I had it on regular dry and it stayed on all night without shutting off. in the morning the clothes were finally dry with little heat. Any idea why it would stay on all night and why it took 8 hours to dry?
Mine did the same thing when it was running on the auto dry setting. I assume it has to do with whatever sensor in the system not detecting the right heat/humidity so it just keeps running. Maybe without the heat, it won't ever get to the right conditions to turn it off
this is the exact same dryer as my mother's who I am visiting and learned that her dryer has not been working (runs without heat). Can you please show or confirm that you lift top before removing front panel? I am unable to lift top tabs and this video does not initial steps to remove drum in order to test continuity going to heating element?
hi , have a question I have a old maytag dryer and it heats up on timed dry but nit auto dry , there is a blue wire at the bottom of the dry that is not connected to anything and I'm pretty sure this is why , but I can't find where it plugs into
Hey Bill, I have a maytag mde16pddww . The dryer runs but does not heat. I checked all thermostats and the motor centrifugal switch. All check out. The purple wire does not have power running through it. The Dryer Relay W10133335 is mounted in front of the bottom of the dryer. and only has power coming in one black wire but no power coming out the other. it also has 2 orange (I believe low voltage ) wires. I think this relay is the culprit. What do you think and how do I test it? Thanks in advance
Maytag Performa dryer, MDE2500AYW, has worked great the 18 years we’ve had it and I beleive I can get another 10 out of it. This January the jumper wire on the heater element burnt up. I replaced it and the dryer started heating up again. Two weeks ago same wire burnt again. I’m thinking is there something else. Heater element looks fine no damage, no rust or cracks in the coil. I would like to send you a picture I took.
Working on a Maytag LDE512 checked and get continuity on item 3-04474-2 and 30-4475-2 and item on heater housing. I don't get 10 when I connect to the heater terminals. I get continuity. I do have 220 from the wall at the back terminals of the unit. The unit turns but no heat Any ideas
Could you help me. I have that dryer. You move the heat knob to what heat level you want. But it only puts out high heat or no heat. nothing in between.
You know I'm just a Gerber when it comes to fixing appliances but that white thing you just called a thermostat I'm pretty sure is fuse and not a thermostat. According to the electrical diagram
I got a 1979 Maytag, the yellow in color type model # GDG 309. The glow dilly gets red hot, BUT only fires up the gas sometimes. you'll hear a click sounds, them gas comes on, but sometimes it'll click and go dem without the gas coming on. any info for anybody on that.
How does grounding both leads show "it's a good heater", What you did should be a full ground! and Ohlms showing full residence and your gauge isn't even reading residence when you do it. you didn't hit any heater terminals of the coil.
Sounds like a bad motor. I bet it doesn't start up right away. But after it sits for a while it starts back up. Let me know if that sounds right. Thanks for Watching!
what if it is heating intermittently? Dryer gets hot, but clothes dry very slowly, may take up to 6-8 hours! We cleaned out the vents and replaced the tubing connecting the dryer to the vent, it's winter so we can see the heat coming out of the vent outside, but it still takes a long time for drying. Any advice?
