      Quick question if your still there, I have not continuity through my inlet control thermister on a GE electric dryer. It operates fine until you go to start a cycle in which case it will just never start. Also in the diagnostic test of the drum it will not rotate. Is this likely the thermister causing a fault that will not allow the drum to turn? Like if yes, down vote for no

    I tore down and repaired our dryer today using info from your excellent tutorial. After checking things, I found a spade connector from the heater coil to the thermostat had come loose from the wire and burned some of the insulation off. I replaced the connector with a new one and after a test run everything seems to be working fine again. Without watching the video, I would have just guessed and bought a heater coil thus wasting money. Thanks for helping us learn!

    This was an EXCELLENT video and it helped me diagnose my problem -- the power supply. I had an intermittent faulty 30v double breaker. Before watching this detailed troubleshooting video I started to make the assumption that the heater element went out as I was not getting heat. It tested just fine. Anyway, thank you so much.

    This is the most comprehensive repair/troubleshooting tutorial I have found in my search for solutions to repair my family's dryer. We have a Whirlpool Estate manufactured with a three-prong power cord. We had to replace the three-prong with a four-prong cord after we moved to our current address three years ago. We've owned the dryer for about 11 years now; it's simple and sturdy so we'd like to keep it as long as possible. Recently, it wouldn't completely dry a load without two to three runs. It had been awhile since I last opened up the housing to clean it so I decided to complete this task first before checking any of the electrical components. The instant I turned it on after closing it there was a flash and an audible pop behind the panel covering the power cord terminal. When I reopened this portion, I discovered the black cord melted and separated beneath the spade connector. This is not the first time I have opened our dryer to clean it so I am lost as to what and how this happened. Your thoughts on what happened (including if it may have been something I did while cleaning it) and what I can do to fix it (if possible) would be greatly appreciated. Again, thank you for the fantastic tutorial; I will be checking out your other videos.

    • @electronicsNmore
      @electronicsNmore  Před 6 lety

      Sounds like the connection was loose. As a result, it may have caused a short circuit across the terminals or to ground.

  • @aliso-pv7ll
    @aliso-pv7ll Před 4 lety +1

    At time 10:41 when you start explaining the dryer Lengend when you explain timed position, following that row across this is telling you between what other terminals you should have continuity? If so, this would explain the logic funtion of the schematic.

    Since my Whirlpool dryer went down because of no heat, *I've been watching a lot of how-to and troubleshooting videos, and by far, this is the best video I've seen.* Even though, I still haven't found the problem of why the heat isn't working on my dryer, this video is very informative and easy to follow. So far, I've ruled out the voltage to the dryer, the thermal cut-off fuse, hi-limit thermostat, and the thermal fuse. I'm just about ready to rule out the dryer timer/motor and the heater element. I'm just hoping that I find the problem before I have to get to that motor under the drum. A note of interest... my dryer is only 2 years old. Thank you, for a great video!

    • @electronicsNmore

    Finally information is at hand....good video...couple things tho to help you...when you said not to bypass one of the fuses,, you should have also said NEVER BYPASS ANYTHING unless it is in order to quickly check for trouble shooting info. When you tested the element for a short to ground you placed a lead on the dryer body but the element housing was disconnected/removed from ground. Just a couple of bloopers. Otherwise it is obvious to me that you know what it's all about.

    Very good video. I've checked all of that. Replaced the timer, start switch, thermal fuses, direct wired the motor and it and the motor switch work properly. But it still won't start. When the timer is set on 3 of the 4 off positions and the start button is pushed, the end of cycle buzzer will buzz. In any other position on the timer, nothing happens at all. Going to try a tone probe next to see if there's a short in any of the wiring.

I thought it was the timer that was bad, I went through the troubleshooting process, and learned that the timer was bad and everything else appears to be fine. Now I'm not guessing, I'm testing, and I'm going to test the replacement timer when it arrives because I can't return it if it's bad and I installed it.

    I've run into a problem that your video does not seem to address. On a Frigidaire with a momentary start knob, it will normally start after briefly holding the knob. But now I need to hold it for a long time; the dryer starts, but may stop if I release the knob. It does start after a few tries with a long hold. Suggestion?

    Some dryers (Kenmore) have also a switch called the "belt switch" ; if the belt breaks the system will not start at all. It is located on the bottom, next to the belt tensioner.

    Thanks for posting this detailed, informative video. One question: Where all of these tests done with the power cord plugged into the wall outlet of 240? Or was the dryer disconnected to perform these tests? Thanks again.

    • @electronicsNmore
      @electronicsNmore  Před 5 lety

      The only time power was connected, was to see if power is making it to the back panel of the machine. After that test, you unplug. Thanks for watching!

    When I test different components with a multimeter fo ohms resistance, I disconnect one of the terminals. Do you not do this?
    Btw, the link does not seem to work for me. I type in something, hit Done, and it brings me back here.

    I've been troubleshooting a whirlpool cabrio dryer and have come up with nothing. It was running and I paused it to open it then nothing! It starts all the lights work the timer ticks off like there is a cycle running but no heat no spin! I've checked power, thermal fuse, thermostats, heating element, motor and so on! Everything you cover in this vid and more! Hoping you could shed some light on my ordeal!

  • @chuckgibson0
    @chuckgibson0 Před 7 lety +1

    Great video. I will be replacing my Operating Temperature Thermostat and Thermal Fuse. The only concern I have is The timer motor is only showing a little over 1000 ohms. On the schematics the readings are showing the opposite of what the schematics call for. (closed when it should show open and vice versa) This is only happening when checking the continuity between the terminal named TM and the other terminals. I believe the TM must stand for Timer Motor.... Does it matter which side of the timer you check from?
    Regardless I bypassed the fuse for about three seconds just to verify the drier would work if it had continuity and it did.
    Thanks again and if someone could chime in about the TM reading I am getting I would greatly appreciated!

    My outlet reads 120 and 240 where it should. When testing the left to ground connection I am getting 200+ volts when it should be 120V and right to ground reads .4 to -4V when it should be 120. I get 240V outside to outside as it should. When testing ground from dryer connection to the plug it reads 0 but from left and right screws it reads .4, not zero. Is this signs of a bad cord? I am thrown off by the 200+volt reading from left to middle connections when plugged in.

    Shouldn't 1 spade connector be removed from 1 side of the fuses and thermostats to prevent feedback when testing for ohms? Excellent very helpful video. Thank you.

    • @electronicsNmore
      @electronicsNmore  Před 7 lety

      It's a good idea to do that. I usually do that myself, unless it's very clear the fuse is in series with a power supply.

  • @izumehd123
    @izumehd123 Před 9 lety

    Thank you your video was super informative. I think one of my fuses may have blown i heard a pop sound and the cooling light remained on. Um going to test everything u showed me here though.

    • @electronicsNmore
      @electronicsNmore  Před 9 lety

      tawna mobley The pop sound could have been the resistive heating wire melting in one spot and touching a grounded object. If that happened, you can take a pair of lineman's pliers and twist the 2 ends back together very tight.

Question...my whirlpool dryer has a control knob with Low, Medium and High heat settings. Works fine when I select the Low or Medium setting but no heat, just cool air when I select the High setting. Any suggestions? Thanks very much.

    • @electronicsNmore
      @electronicsNmore  Před 7 lety +1

      Stan Refcio First remove and test the switch using a continuity tester. Make sure all switch positions work. If it works, then replace the thermostat.

    great video but I do have a question. I have a kenmore elite dryer that wont start- nothing when the start button is pushed. I tested the start button-its ok, I believe the timer switch is faulty at a couple settings based on the wiring diagram. My question is would this prevent the dryer from starting in any setting?

  • @phrankiebeigh5505
    @phrankiebeigh5505 Před 8 lety +1

    excellent video, I still haven't figured out what would cause one problem though..the dryer is back to back with a double oven, separated by a stud wall. The dryer is on a separate 240 breaker. When you turn on the dryer, the clock on the oven goes off, like it lost power and then blinks till I reset it. This is a recent occurance. I suspect the windings in the motor but not sure. I have checked both breakers and wireing and plugs, can find no fault on either. Ground wire to house is good. No other schisms anywhere else. Any ideas? Thank you again for the training video...

    • @electronicsNmore
      @electronicsNmore  Před 8 lety

      If you measure the AC voltage at the oven receptacle when you turn on the dryer, and it drops way down from 240-250V, then you definitely have a wiring problem. Sounds like a loose wire or high resistance connection in the breaker panel.

    • @phrankiebeigh5505
      @phrankiebeigh5505 Před 8 lety

      thanks for response. I will check it out...right now the dryer is not running. Gotta go outta town for a while. I know you are a busy dude, hopefully I can get this squared away soon. thanks again
