THANK YOU!!....my kenmore stopped working the day before xmas eve. Thankfully I was able to find a store with the thermal fuse in stock!!

@kiwi67 8 месяцев назад

Thank you!!! Bought a new thermal fuse for $15 and installed it as per this amazing video and bingo…dryer is now working. Perfect!!👏

@JonCarlson 3 года назад

Thank you so much. Not sure how many Kenmore dryer videos I watched before finding this one that explained how to get in through the front of the dryer. By the way, you must remove the lint screen before you can get the grey metal piece off.

@channelron3593 3 года назад

Thanks! and thanks for the tip

@kedra626 3 года назад

Yes thank you!!! Please pin this comment so others can see it. I was struggling with this part until seeing this comment

@shnguyen2404 Год назад

I found this out myself after struggling to get it remove, but good to have this so everyone can see. 👍

@FranklinDJames Год назад

Yep, most videos says it is located at the back of the dryer...I guess it depends on the manufactured date of the machine. Models like the Kenmore Model #110.62062100, the fuse is in the front lower panel as this video shows and fuse is a different shape.

@OvGraphics 2 года назад

C Ron. I know this is 8 years ago to you but it's like a few minutes ago to me. I had all the screws out of the back where the thermal resistor always USED to be. That of course got me exactly zip. So I ran in here and found your monstrous massive super dooper life saving tutorial. Went exactly according to your instructions. If you were handy I'd pop for a donut or a beer. You did GREAT! Better than a factory service manual. Many many thanks!

@channelron3593 2 года назад

Well thank you!

@jhse.1030 Год назад

Simply looking up "Kenmore Dryer will not start" . I am glad I continued searching, this explains why the back of this model Kenmore dryer wont come off like in most of the other DIY videos I found. THANK YOU! This is exactly what I needed

@channelron3593 Год назад

Glad I could help!

@theendofmyropemydude Год назад

I've got a few fuses (and a multimeter) on order, and your video helped me get everything apart and locate the fuse super easily. Pray for me that it's actually the fuse and not the heater element or something else more expensive! I've got too many kids to have a dryer out of commission!

@tabithaharwood 2 года назад

This saved us from purchasing a new dryer. I had a feeling it was a fuse when my father worked on the dryer in my childhood. The video made it easy for me to fix. Thank you so much for posting this video!

@thefivebares 3 года назад

Thanks so much. Worked for me as well. Our dryer is probably 20 years old. We inherited it from the last owners of our house. After opening it and cleaning the lint, I don't think it had ever been cleaned. So glad there is a fuse that will blow instead of starting a fire.

@KurgerBurger 7 месяцев назад

LOL same thing here, previous owners warned us the dryer was on its last legs. Wife said it took 7 hours to dry a light load, I figured the gas wasn't lighting. These instructions were the first I found for a front entry (most tell you to remove the back or to pull out the heater element).

@vikkilott5923 2 года назад

Thank you…thank you…..thank you…this saved me so much money I changed two parts for under 15.00 and it works!! Again thanks you showed exactly how to get into the dryer and how to change the parts…vikki

The thermal fuse is just $12. This was an easy-to-moderate, and cheap homeowner repair. I used a metal putty knife to release the clips. And a 1/4in ratchet bit. My helper was an ice cold Sunkist Orange soda.

I figured it out. You take the lint screen out. All is good. Awesome video, very helpful! But, I am having a hard time lifting the cover off of the blower wheel which you did not show how you did. I'm assuming that's because it's difficult.🤔 If you could add that in there that would be great. Or just maybe tell me how you lifted up left right whatever to get it out of the dryer frame. I would greatly appreciate it! 🙃🤗👍 Located at 1:13 on your video.

Lady removed the wires that go to the heating element fixture fuses and what not. Think it's possible to inform me of how they go. I know the one fuse has a 3 on one side and a 1 on the other. Tried to look it up for a while but not certain.

@mrobvious1100 11 месяцев назад

Great video thank you for taking the time. Quick question.. my daughter just moved into a apartment about a week ago in a row home it has a dryer she says it runs but does not get hot and is a Kenmore 70 series Electric. Have you made a video on how to test any other fuses and whatever that thing is that gets hot that looks like it has coils? She also said something really weird that she started the dryer around 8 p.m. and then went to bed got up the next morning at 7 a.m. in the dryer was still running and apparently did not produce heat because the clothes were still damp. She pulled out the lint trap which she said was full and she emptied it but it did not make a difference when she ran it for another hour

@channelron3593 11 месяцев назад

Yes I did a video on testing some thermal fuses that may help. But I am thinking it maybe your heating element? this video may help ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-u0OCoEoc-Ps.html

@jimmayors2315 4 года назад

Hey Ron, Great instructional video. I have a 414.83142201 dryer. We recently moved and I had to put in a new 240 circuit to a shed where the dryer is now located. Got good 240v check on the new circuit, but the machine won't start. The drum light comes on when you open the door, so I know it's getting some power. But, when you set the timer and push the start switch, nothing. You can hear a little hum or click on the motor initially, then nothing. Motor is not frozen. Does the thermal switch allow electric to the light still while cutting out the motor? Or, does it just kill the motor from truning? Or just the heat with the motor turning (tumbling). Again, door light comes on, but the motor (drum) doesn't start. Could it be the thermal switch? Thanks

@channelron3593 4 года назад

Wow, Hmm sound like something may have come unhooked inside, unplug the unit and remove cover ware the cord goes into and make sure the dryer cable is connected securely inside, sounds like you are only getting half voltage to the unit?

@jimmayors2315 4 года назад

@@channelron3593 Well, it turned out it wasn't the dryer afterall. Everyone was saying if you measure 240v at the plug it must be the dryer. I wasn't convinced it wasn't an amperage issue, but there was no way to measure it. So, after a week or so, I loaded the drying back on the truck and took it to a know working 240v circuit. It ran just fine. Called electrician back and he found some issue with a crossed neutral/ground running back to the service pole (supposedly). When he left, it ran like a champ; wasn't the dryer at all.

@Headahhpodcast 2 года назад

Does it matter which blue wire goes on like a positive and negative?

@JMH-jj6we 4 года назад

What is the switch or fuse right next to the thermal fuse? My dryer starts and runs but if I open the door when it is hot it won’t start again until it cools down.

@channelron3593 4 года назад

I believe that is a thermal switch. and it is causing it to shut down because it is too hot, make sure your ductwork is free of lint.

@JMH-jj6we 4 года назад

Channel Ron Thanks Ron. Latest is that I press the start button and it buzzes for a second and then turns off without spinning. If I leave the timer on it will mysteriously turn on after a while. I cleaned it out super clean with air compressor and shop vac. Pretty much lint free right now.

I need your help. I am up here in communist Canada and my Kenmore 90 series dryer is not starting. I first checked the circuit breaker and it’s fine. I noticed the door switch was no longing clicking and just dangling and the light in dryer would not come on when I opened it. So I replaced it. Dryer still would not start. I tested the thermal fuse with multimeter and it was unclear so I replaced it and still the dryer would not start. I tested the start button and it is working. Is it fair to assume the terminal/electrical port is fine bc the light comes in when I open the door so there is power to the dryer? What else could it be? Help 4:06
