Thank you so much!! I just repaired my our dryer ($16) and impressed my entire family😀 Mom got to save the day and a lot of money. I think I impressed my local appliance shop going in and buying what I needed as well😀
Same thank you man! My mom was about to buy a dryer
Bro... thank you! Whenever I need a logical, spot on and properly explained explanation to a problem I'm having with an appliance or maybe even with life.. who knows... all I know is that this will be my first stop!
Thank you so much...I am an almost 60 and so thankful for folk like you who teach me new things that save me money and my back! Also learning how to use a multi meter is a great new skill to have. Thank you so much!!!
Man, you are awesome. It was the fuse , replacing it good as new. Two repair shops in my town never made mention of it. Thanks 😊
I truly appreciate you and CZcams!! Thank you dear...I surely didn't want to purchase a newer dryer....Thank you so much for your time. Have a wonderful day.
This video was spot on for my amana dryer, thanks dude!
Well done. You explained and showed everything very nicely.
So what had happen was.... I was drying my running shoes. One shoe jammed the barrel, after manually turn in the barrel and freeing the shoe it wouldn’t start. Then I unplugged it, watched your video and then hit the go button and she works now. Whew! good tips dude!!
Thanks so much for this video! I jumped it out for confirmation and it started. Thanks!
Now, off to find a replacement...
Would your dryer only run if you hold the bottom down?
Great video. Guess I'll check this out tonight on the dryer. It is a brand new dryer and all power is normal so if the thermal fuse is bad already, I am going to lose myself. 😄
Good job on the video young fella. I wish this was what’s wrong with mine but you did a good job showing and explaining it. The last four I saw from other people were horrible.
thank you so much, worked for my Whirpool dryer!!!
Dude you saved my bacon . Thankyou for explained everything quick and easy. Now I learned something new and feel accomplished
Spot on thanks; fixed my problem.
This worked! Thank you. Saved me a $150 service call.
BRO!!! This video saved me time and money you the man thanks dude🤙🏽🤘🏽
Good to know :) my dryer stopped working after a heavy load was put into it. Oddly enough it started working after 15 minutes of waiting. I kept removing clothes and hitting start but even with nothing in it the thing didnt start. Maybe it had a failsafe built in and just needed time to reset? Either way...glad it worked out lol
You do have a model that the thermostat resets once it cools down.
Thanks for the helpful video!
Thank you, very good video, helped a lot!
Nice job...thanks for the info!
If i dont have this equipment to check the fuse could it be possible to use a vol-continuity tester?
very helpful bro thank you very much.
Thanks for this video simply and straight to the point
Just wanted to take a moment to say thanks for posting this. I was able to fix my dryer in 15 minutes and saved $100.00
thank you for your video......does it matter what color your test wire go onto the fuse....? Thank you
Thanks for the video. Worked perfectly
This help so much, I fixed my dryer today without having to call a professional. Bought a $10 part and got it running like new. Thanks man
Where did you find the part for it?
I have a whirlpool electric dryer, when i set the timer and hit start, it makes a slight dragging noise and It'll run for a little of the cycle, then starts to get hot and then just shut off.
i have an amana that the dryer starts then makes a loud buzz noise and stops. then i just banf on the timer button and it gets going. any idea what this could be
Thanks a lot. That was the problem I had.
Your welcome thanks for the comment.
Hello.ci have Maytag mbd5870tw0 but I can't find were the thermal fuse would be? I can't see I with the back panel off. Thanks
Dammm this long ago and still help me out thanks man
I have a Kenmore dryer that has no power going to the top panel at all. No start and the timer knob isn't even turning. Could this be the problem there?
problem solved, thanks!!! Just saved us a ton!!!!!
I know this is old but maybe you can help. I have a front loader Amana and it gives a e5 error code. What does that mean? Also there was allot of lint in the back and all.
Hi BlakeTube Repairs & Reviews
I have this problem. No heat and it spins. So i check the heater, replaced with brand new heater, still no heat. Heater not turning on. Replaced the old thermostat with new thermostat, still no heat. Checked all wirings for continuity, all checked out good, sanded the terminals, still not heat. Replaced the whole motor with centrifugal switch, still no heat, heater does not turn on. I don't know where to go now. please help.
Greetings, my mom has a Kenmore #110.76660100 and it is experiencing the same problem, however I was not able to locate a thermal sensor. I did note 3 thermostats. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Really hoping this is the problem. It'll be hard to get to mine: the machine is stacked in a tight space. But it'd be a simple repair and that's what I'm hoping for.
mine has a rattle in the back a repair guy told me it was the heating element i replaced that and it still makes the noise until dryer get warm, so not sure how to fix it as it was a barnd new dryer 3 month ago the brand is amana.
i replaced the thermal fuse, and the machine started and ran for a few moments, so i thought i was in luck. However, it then stopped running again. the prongs are firmly connected, so its not that. I suppose there's almost no chance the new thermal switch was defective.
My kenmore dryer model 81283 less than 3 yrs starts, whines and stops. Help me figure out what is wrong please
your the man. thanks
I have the same drier,it stopped heating,it blows room temperature air,I replaced the thermal fuse and the cycling fuse and still the same issue no hot air,I'm thinking of replacing the other 2 thermostat/sensors to see if that does the trick,any suggestions?
Thanks so much
Quick question...I realize this is an old video. I have an Amana NED5100TQ1 I've never had any problems but I ran a load through the dryer fine earlier then went to switch laundry and it won't start. Seems there is power going to the dryer. But no buzzer sound when I hit the start button. But when I turn the timer knob it makes the sound like it's turning through the cycle. Would you think it would be the thermal sensor or possibly a power switch problem?
Also drum does turn manually
Will the dryer still have power??
Where can we find this part please. A link would be handy. Tia
I check the fuse and it still will not start, can someone give help me out with what is going on
What about if it the start button
Hello ,Blake
Amana I have, is making a buzz sound. When I push start button but won't start. What do you think?
+MegaCarlo2010 can you turn the drum from inside the machine?
My meter reads 0 but is making a tone. Does it mean that it's bad?
I just got a new dryer and tried connecting my old cord and it still won’t turn on. So I bought a new cord and still nothing. What do I do ?
So, mine tested good , so why will it start sometimes then quits on it's own?
God Bless you and your family
hi, i'm using my wife's for commenting. funny story, my wife was doing laundries and told me dryer wouldn't start, immediately browse to this, told my wife we need fuse and sensor, went to retailer store and ask every stock boys without luck. went back home, took off exhaust and clean it, while assembling, somehow it came to my mind. went to check power breaker (panel) and jackpot it was breaker switch on off, relief
Hi can you help me my 16 year old GE gas dryer will not start. When looking for that white long thermal fuse in my dryer there is none. I have a dry/washer all in one unit the dry unit is stack on top washer on bottom with all mechanical controls no electronics. They still sell these units at home depot. Where would the thermal fuse be and what dose it look like in these units. also ide smelled a burn smell when starting it.but never turn on. please comment if you reply and I will subscribe
Thank you my COUNTRAY friend
Whats sensor is that, or does it have serial number to identify it?
It's called a thermal fuse. I got mine from Anazon for about $8 dollars.
Mine works what else can it be
Hello my dryer is drum will not turn.
When the door is closed it makes a humming sound and it starts to heat up but will not turn. When I press the start button nothing happens.
So I watched a few videos and tried a few troubleshooting leads.
When the top is off, if I give the drum a little push it starts running and the humming stops.
What do you suggest?
+David Smith Sounds like a bad motor.
My dryer is doing the same thing. I change the belt, tensioner, and rollers and that didn't work. Not sure if it's the glides or motor.
Thank you so much!!!
My amana ned4500vq2 thermal fuse and start switch both have continuity and still wont start
Thanks, very helpful.
i may be using the wrong voltage tester bc nothing turns on on the new fuse or old
mine is making a buzz sound when I push start button but won't start
Did you ever fix it?
Your blower wheel is jammed. The fan is either clogged with lint or something else
Brandi Marie howdy! The blower wheel? My machine is doing the start button buzz thing. Could it be the motor? I can spin the wheel just fine with my fingers when it’s off.
where do you get the fuse?
hey where do you get the fuse and is this a thermal fuse....
HELP ME
Bless You Sir!
Thanks brother
Thanks for help. =)
Thank you ❤ 😘
my dryer stays hot even when not running?
Shorted heat element probably what brand is it?
Thanks
Fuze is good so what's next?
Weird, put fuse back in and now starts
Thank you
Great video thanks made it simple and to the point to the bitching comment dude blockage and overheating is a common sense step to check!!! As you troubleshoot most of us here are diyers so we know!!!
mines buzzing and wont start could that be the same cause?
The General some Kenmore dryers like this buzz slightly in the start switch when this is the case but only for half a second best thing is to check for open fuse with meter.
Already checked not the problem bypassed switch still not working🥱thermals all test good now what😳
Broooh... If this was it I'm feeling done. The fuse look dark like it got fried. I can't believe this. We have been using the laundry mat. I finally bought a motor and that one buzzes regardless.
Say that was the problem ..where can I buy a new fuse?
rain8a Thermal Fuses are available at your local appliance part store or you can find them on ebay or Amazon. This is a really easy fix and inexpensive.
rain8a 7rfft
This didn’t look anything like my Amana. :(
You da man
took you three minutes to get to the inside of the dyer
You should add in your tetorial that the lint needs to be cleaned out that's why it blew could cause a fire man.
Uhh...there was a reason the fuse blew in the first place, but you made no mention. Lint has accumulated somewhere in or along the exhaust system and needs to be removed. The fuse blew because a restriction in the path out, caused heat to build up internally, which caused the heat sensor circuit to blow the fuse. Replacing the fuse, may get the dryer working again, but the blockage remains which will again blow the fuse. Dryer and/or vent hose needs to and cleaned out where needed. Please provide a video explaining where to get, and how to use, the special vacuum hose attachment that goes down into the lint filter housing and long brushes that can clean out long vent hoses.
Sorry, but right in the beginning if this video (around 1:20) he said that this fuse would have blown because of a blockage. If you need to know how to maintain your dryer, simply ask him. If you need to know how to clean the vent housing let me know. It's actually very simple.
Just like the vent being blocked by lint this dude's ears are blocked by wax. How he couldn't hear this is beyond me.
Whitedragoness13 hello. How do I clean the vent housing? I just had this issue happen 2day.
OK, my door switch is good, my start button is good, my fuse is good... where do I go next? Light comes on inside dryer, but won't start/run.
Adam Gilmor did u find out what was wrong with your dryer?
Sunshinezae lewis nope, sure didn't
instructions for fault checking under top ....Im just starting down this path, but my multimeter is not giving infinite readings!!! haha...new one of those first
Adam Gilmor Hola, not sure if you fixed or gave up on dryer. But my older Kenmore not working and maybe motor might be problem. Hoping this vid by Deb Paredes on Humm noise works. Basically greasing and oiling motor. Crossing fingers
Can you check the thermal fuse while it is installed in the dryer or does it need to be removed from the dryer to check for resistance?
Mine just stopped after 7 years
Ok so if thats good yet, and still no go, hummm then what??
Now the wife tells me the timer was "acting weird"
She just wants a new dryer!
You did not explain what ohms to set up the meter for testing.
It's a Kenmore. it won't run either
My Kenmore has the identical problem but my thermal fuse is still good so my t-shooting resumes. Good video but watching you use a screwdriver wasted time, fast forward that stuff.
Who else owes my man a six pack🍻
I dont get why there are so many dislikes.
Fix the focus all blurred out

Useless video.. .that fuse is working so why do you remove it
Why take the time to make and post a video, but not let anyone know what the symptom is? You tell us 'won't start' but not 'buzzes when switch is depressed' etc...
