In this video I'm going to show you how to replace a control board which is what regulates your high efficiency dryer and allows it to work correctly. Basically it is the computer for the dryer. The part that I have a link in the description for is a part number 8546219 this is for whirlpool and Maytag appliances. . And you will get it from Amazon shipped immediately. In this video I will show you how to disassemble the dryer and where to find a cheat sheet that the repair technicians use to follow step by step in diagnosing your dryer problem. The symptoms for this dryer was that it would not spin when you pushed the start button. It would just beep and make a click noise. I'll show you how to remove the bottom panel to access the booklet of instructions with wiring diagrams and how to use a simple ohm meter to test the motor and narrow down what your problem is using basic troubleshooting. I appreciate you watching my videos.
To Support this channel please use the Amazon Affiliates links available in the description.. I have provided a few links to the exact control board used for this repair from multiple sources on Amazon..Thank you !
The two Amazon links are not useful. The first one's page is removed; the second one is "currently unavailable." The eBay link does appear to work, but not sure if that is an affiliate link. I'd like to support your channel as a thank-you for this excellent to-the-point video, but not sure if I can with those links. Just wanted to let you know.
@@JoeWessels I was about to comment the same thing. I would love to support your channel and will definitely do if you provide a working affiliate link.
Perhaps the clearest repair video I've ever watched on CZcams. I have the absolutely identical symptoms on my Maytag Epic dryer, right down to the 1.9 Ohm reading. I've paid the almost $300 Canadian and ordered the replacement control board which is fortunately still available. I'll know if it worked in a few days. Even knowing the replacement board is very likely the solution, I probably would have still bought a replacement dryer if it wasn't for my washer/dryer stacking requirement. The 10 year old Maytag Epic washer still works fine doing the repair is easier than finding a way than fabricate stacking brackets for a non-matching new dryer. Besides, this exercise has been kind of fun...
Quick followup: the board replacement worked! Upon closer inspection of the burnt location on the old control board, it is a $3 relay in the location labelled "Motor" that failed. If you're adept at soldering/desoldering (which I'm not) simply replacing this relay could be a cheap and easy fix. Relay is marked Omron G8P-1A4P-ACD 12VDC 30A 250VAC.
Thank you!!! Had EXACT issue and you saved us time & money! We ordered a refurbished control board from Amazon for $165. instead of the average $300+.
Works great! My Maytag dryer lasted 11 years with no problems until this. But now it’s going strong again! Thank you so much for the very helpful & much appreciated video!
Hello. Where did u find a refurbished board? I saw nothing less than $400 which is ridiculous for such a simple control noard.
Thank you! I have the same dryer, with the same symptoms. An $18 digital multimeter later, and I diagnosed the exact same problem, found the same toasted circuit, bought the same replacement board from Amazon...problem solved! My guess is that I saved between $400 and $500 doing it myself, plus got a new tool, some new skills, and some good hands-on training for my sons. Thanks again!
AWESOME! Glad it worked out so well!!
I didn't even have to get the meter out, that same burn spot in same location was on mine. And, who thumbs down this great, to the point video? Must be Maytag repair contractors who didn't get our hundreds.
Jenny Traub lol. Real talk. Thumbs down? Pfft!
Thank you so much! You have saved me a bunch of dollars by not having to pay to service call. I have same dryer with same problem I didn’t even check for resistance went ahead and ordered the control board from amazon. Your instructions and video are very clear and easy to follow. I replaced the board and saw exact same black burnt mark under the board. Now my dryer is working fine thanks to you!
Did you fix it?? Having same problem with my epic series
I have a 2000 series Maytag front loader and I used this video. You saved me hundreds. I bought a refurbished board off of eBay and installed it in about 20 minutes (I’m not handy). Thank you!
Thanks so much. I was able to replace my fifteen year old dryer's control board after it got fried during an electrical storm. Your step by step instructions were spot on. God bless you....
Another satisfied customer! Your video helped me 7 years after you posted. I used the link to ebay and found a replacement part at a reasonable price ($100) since the part has been discontinued so Amazon is expensive ($400). Once I replaced the control board, it started up. Thanks!
Thanks for this, Foxboss! My Maytag Neptune dryer MDE6700AYW had a buzzing, blinking display and started to dry poorly. I ordered a new control board for it and swapped it out lickity-split thanks to your walkthrough. You have saved the day (and many hundreds of dollars)!
👍😊
I have a Whirlpool Duet dryer that also had a fried board. I replaced the damaged g8p-1a4p relay on board with a new one with exact specs. Paid $11CAD for the new part. The dryer is working perfectly again.
Thank you, your video was very helpful. I have a Whirlpool Duet Dryer but I believe its the same model, different brand name. The dryer is 14 years now and had to change the heater on it a few years back. No issues found after going through the machines self diagnostics checks. I then removed the top cover and metal bracket housing the control board. I checked the resistance between the light blue and dark blue wires on connector P1 (Pins 3 & 4); it was 2.6 Ohms suggesting that there was a problem with the control board. I ordered one from Amazon $199 following the above link. I did not see any obvious issues looking at the top side of the PCB, but on the bottom side, once removed from the metal bracket, I could see a burst spot (similar to what was shown in your video) and that the copper trace connected to the relay had burned open. I cleaned the area with wire brush and used my solder iron and solder to create a solder bridge (big blob of solder) to reconnect the circuit. I figured it was worth a shot while I wait for the new control board to come it. I replaced the board in the machine and gave it a try and eureka, it worked. I quickly cancelled my Amazon order so needless to say, it cost me nothing but some time.
I found the same issue on my board. I, like you, soldered it and hoped for the best. It fixed the issue! Fortunately, I didn't place an order for the new board :). I betting that switch (omron 1983h2 g8p-1a4p) can be replaced on the board. Found it online between $5 and $12.
Thank you! Great explanation and video of the problem. I lost my manual but was able to follow you enough to correct my problem. I found a control board on ebay and saved a lot of money. May God bless you!!!!!!
Man I knew I’d screw something up trying to fix my Maytag! Thank you for posting! I guess I can put the Louisville slugger away and get a screwdriver!! Thank you x100
I'll trade you. My screwdriver for your Louisville.
Thank you. I don’t know nothing about fixing anything but my dryer has the same problem, can’t afford another dryer. I learned something and I’m on it. God bless you for your teaching.
👍😁
Thank you so much for this video! My mother and I were able to fix our dryer without having to buy a new one. All we had to do was buy a new control board and we were able to get it in ourselves. Thank you :)
Fantastic job foxboss9, I've gone to many help videos on youtube and yours was the best done of all. As others, I found the black blow out behind the control board without even checking the ohms on the motor leads, clearly the problem, your attention to detail and caution when handling the intricate parts, saved me from breaking anything and I am expecting to be up and running soon. thank you thank you thank you, jskalet
My dryer didn't have a problem at that exact point on the control board, but this video was helpful! Using the technician guide (that I found from your video) I was able to determine that my thermal fuse keeps blowing because the heating element stays on and gets super hot. Followed the guide which had me test P4-3 to P4-6 resistance and the Ohms were in the failure range. Anyone else have this problem??
Thanks for the help! This video gave me exactly what I needed to fix my dryer.
The GREAT universal advice I got from this video: Take off the kick plate and find the diagnostic manual. I did not know this existed. I have a different make (whirlpool) but YUP the manual was there! And following it solved my problem. THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO. Very much appreciated!
Add another satisfied viewer to your list. I've always been afraid of anything electrical, but your video gave me everything I needed. My burn spot matches! The link is no longer good, so I bought from my local appliance parts store. Thank you!
Thank you so much, we have been having troubles with our dryer for the longest time and this video was a godsend for us. Keep up the good work man.
You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. I had the same exact problem you had and everything you did here applied to my situation. burnt board and everything. I f you're ever in the Miami or Broward county area, look me up and I will gladly buy you a beer. My wife might actually hook a brother up tonight because of you.
Eric Puntervold 👍😁
Great help. Same thing happened to mine . Followed steps and it is now up and running. Good production value.
Thank you so much! I have a Maytag 5000 series dryer and this was similar enough to get me through. Your video gave me the confidence to attempt the repair myself, and it was a success. This saved me hundreds of dollars in a service call and labor from a professional repair shop. I bought the part on Amazon and with Prime, I had the part the very next day. You are very good at explaining things in detail which helped a lot. If your current job falls through, you can always teach! Thanks again for taking the time and effort to post this excellent video. Happy New Year.
Great instructional video! Thanks to you and CZcams, I was able to pin point my issue without having to make a service call. I didn't have the ohms reader so instead removed the motherboard anyways. When I saw the black I knew it was the same issue. Thanks again!
My circuit board wasn’t fried... it just had a plug disconnected!!! 😅 thanks a lot, saved me lots of time.
I have subscribed to your channel because I do appreciate you posting. I did fix my own dryer, Maytag Epic, 9 year old in part because of this video. The Amazon links do not work because you can no longer get this discontinued board, rather the only real problem is that motor relay you identified by the burn mark on the metal shield. I had the same issue, same burn mark. Amazon does sell those for about $11 cdn and it took me about an hour to do the entire repair. The last time I had a dryer fail, I was hesitant to look at self repair so paid a repair company to come out, they replaced the board. The cost to me? $425. Same problem with a newer dryer at the new house? $11 to solder in a new relay. Thank you for posting and you may want to update the info (Amazon link) as you can no longer get the board, but if you know how to solder, can do this repair for less than $12...Canadian
Thanks so much!! I did not think I could have done this myself but with the help of your video and clear instructions I was able to fix my dryer!! Blessings to you ! You are the best.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! This video was EXACTLY what was wrong with my dryer and you helped me put in the new control panel by myself - saved my husband a chore. It is working great! We were going to buy a new dryer -- but hopefully now we will get a bit more time.
+Jan Johnston 😁
Thanks for the clear explanations and tips. You are a great teacher! My board needs to be replaced too... Why are replacement parts so expensive? It is so outrageous!
Looks like it will be helpful. My board won't arrive for a couple of days, so we'll see what happens. I did see the troubleshooting info when I opened up the dryer the other day, but left it undisturbed. I was getting an F1 code which indicates the main control board so, for the time being, I'm trusting that the code is providing accurate information. I too have a burn mark on the side of my dryer which seems like another supporting indication that it's the control board. I will pull out the troubleshooting info and read through it now that I know how informative and (seemingly) user-friendly it is! Thanks for the video!
UPDATE: It worked! It worked! That saved me from having to buy a whole new dryer :)))......(having a repairman fix it would have been aroun $500 and the thing is 9 years old...and cost around $700 new)
MaCoeur i
This is actually a dryer that is built to last. I have the whirlpool duet version of this set, 16 years and I have had no issues.
I have a Whirlpool Stackable Duo Sport model Dryer. I found on mine ( turn on the dryer and the error code F1 comes up on the display. ) the belt had been shredded due to the following : Motor pulley cracked in half causing the belt to become shredded from rotation on broken motor pulley. Also while i was repairing the pulley i vacuumed out the unit with a stiff brush and a little elbow grease. Tools needed- 1/4" deep socket, flat screwdriver,# 15 torx screwdriver, (Vice grips needle nose and flat) also my vacuume. Doing this will save you from a fire some time in the future. TOTAL COST= $85.00.
You did an AWESOME job teaching how to do this! If you are NOT a Teacher.....you need to go back to school, for you surely have a gift! I am a nurse and learn all of the time, plus I chose to learn lots about all kinds of things.....and it is difficult to find people that can teach so clearly with such good examples! I am going to go check my dryer now! I've been without it for 8 months now......no money to fix...so here I go!
Thanks so much...I'll be back to let you know.

Linda Swearingen I went back to school two years ago but lost interest.. Funny thing, A teacher at my NE Ohio High school, his name was Ron Swearingen.. Thanks for the comment, good luck..
Wow....sorry it took me so long to see this, so someone at school was a Swearingen huh? Ohio...that's a long way from Oregon! Too bad you lost interest...maybe it was the teachers? The classes? They do give tons of work, which mostly turns into HOMEWORK, which takes away from family and anything else you like doing. Well, you have a gift and whether you use it doing what you are doing now or in an educational institution....you really teach well. I fixed my dryer all by myself....thanks to you & God!
Blessings,
Linda
+Linda Swearingen :-)
I had the same problem.Save yourself some trouble and re-solder the board where it burned out.Took me five minutes and it saved me $$$$
I would have if that's all it needed however the circuit was bad, specifically the 30 amp relay in my case.
Followed your lead and it's working. Hope it last. Thanks a million.
This was a great video. I don't know why 13 people clicked the dislike button. Now i'm off to check my Whirlpool , hopefully it's as simple as this video . Thank you
Thanks.. Focus on the positive. I look at the Thumbs up numbers... Good luck!
TRue.. Well it looks like my problem is the belt. It is broken.
Elizabeth Melendez. those 13 were dryer repairmen. lol.great video
Thanks! I have the exact same dryer. Worked fine last night and this morning the control panel was dead, even though the machine had power (light on inside). Not able to get it into test mode. Unplugged it several times hoping for a "reset". No good. Took it apart and started the diagnostics starting with power supply and everything was checking out OK. Plugged it back in and the control panel lit up but was frozen - no diagnostic mode. Was showing this to my wife and I repeated the steps and the damn thing started like normal. Lose wire? Part about to fail? Well, for now it's working and you saved me from a service repair and worse - an afternoon of dryer shopping!
einfussganger 👍random errors are the worse to diagnose.. Good luck..
I'll let you know - I'm guessing the board is failing, but hasn't failed. BTW, your videos are great - you have a very clear and effective way of communicating the information. Thanks again for taking the time to share your knowledge.
einfussganger 👍😁
Awesome video! Very instructive and helpful. I had the exact same issue, even down to the burn marks in the same place.
Thank you so much! I fixed it by watching this video! You are soooo awesome. You saved me money I didn't have to spend on fixing a much needed dryer!
☑😁
Thank you, sooo much formthis great video. I bought a used w/d set and after 2 loads the F01 code came on. I was so bummed that I paid a good amount for a used set and it stopped working almost immediately. I'm not particularly handy but I figured I'd try. I watched a few videos, all good but yours was the only one that mentioned using the jumper wire too. I tried the repair by just soldering the one blown joint and put it back together...no go! Took it back apart, added the wire and BINGO! Dryer is working, YEAH! Thank you, thank you.
Ukecrazy Old lady 👍😁
Thanks Foxboss9!! R&R Took only about 1 hour and saved $$$$. Like Red Green would say: "if ya can't be handsome, be handy." :)
👍😊
I have the same dryer and it won't start up at all (the controls/etc don't light up) but the internal drum light turns on so I know it has power. I'm hoping it's not the whole $2-300 front circuit board thing. I managed to fix this dryer a few years ago by just soldering in a new relay (I think it was the same problem from this video, same burn mark and everything). I'm hoping there's a similar fix for this problem. Also, I never knew "dryer won't start" could mean so many different things.
So far this is way to easy...I skipped straight to taking the control panel off and I have the same burn mark. Part has been ordered.....stay tuned!
Michael Kincaid Cool.. kinda excited to hear how it goes!!
Foxboss9 Me and you both! Will update for sure!
Foxboss9 You are the man!!! Just got the part in, plug and play BAM! GOOD TO GO! Wait, why am I so excited, now I have to do laundry! P.S.... checked out your channel and you have a ton of great content....SUB added!!! I was going to throw you a bone but didn't see the donate button! Let me know
Michael Kincaid Awesome! Had some negative feedback on the donate button sooo I pulled it.. A sub is great... Thanks!
Foxboss9 👍Thanks again!
Dead on my brother! Thanks a bunch! Went through three thermistors thinking it was that. My unit, for other DIY'ers, is the Whirlpool Duet Model GEW9250SU0.
Great! glad it worked out!!!
Thank you for the clear and concise trouble shooting and helpful dialogue. I've ordered a new control board *fingers crossed*
Thank you!!!! I just used your video to fix my dryer. Worked perfecttly.
Thank you for the informative video! You've just saved me a bunch of time on mine.
Thank you so much! Changed my thermistor and circuit board as per your instructions. Dryer is working again. Yaaaaaaah!
Thanks for the hint. like the control board is no longer available, ive soldered the faulty weld and tadaa!! Works now! got pics.
Just took care of my F01 error code on my Maytag 3000 dryer. Sure enough, i found the same burned spot on the control board. Put a new dot of solder and im back in action. Super easy.
Just did mine today. Saves you the money from purchasing a new one.
That’s the error I had . Thanks for the info
Thank you!! I have a whirlpool dryer that is similar to yours. My control panel is being replaced today by a repairman. Wish id been brave enough to try myself. Maybe next time.
👍😁
I didn't have the low reading between those pins, but popped the board out anyway. The solder on one of the motor relay pins had cracked and burned. Never would have looked there if I hadn't seen this.
What an awesome instructional video. This was so clear and on point all the way through, thank you!
Thank you very much for this Video but just to let you know you should make an update to it. When I tried to get an error code with the door closed like you I got nothing. But I also tried this with the door open and got and error code at that point. Thankfully for me my it was only my lint vent was clogged. Just a vacuum of the vent and it works great. Just trying to help others so that they try for the error code with the door open and closed.
Hi I feel like I know you from your Living on Daydream channel. I am deciding what to do with a front loading Whirlpool driver that doesn’t always start. In this Pandemic environment I am working on it at home before I can get a replacement. Cheers, hope you and your wife are doing well.
👍
Years later, this video is still relevant! Thank you sir may I have another! Great "to the point" video with no malarkey! I'm not voting for Biden. LOL Well done my friend. Free dryer only needed a quick fix. THANK YOU!!!
Thank you for posting. I have the same dryer but it will not heat. I believe I have the right parts for it just need help fixing it. Do you have a video to fix that problem?
Very clear cut and well spoken tutorial
Great video, just got done replacing the control board all by myself! Thanks so much for the video, couldn't have done it with you!
Great news! Thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you for your help. I have another problem for the same dryer. It will not heat. I believe I have the parts for it but need direction on how to install. Do you have a video for that?
Great video and looks like it helped out a ton of people, definitely learned more about a dryer than I ever thought I would. Sadly, swapping the control board, Thermal Fuse, Dryer High Limit Thermostat, Dryer Cycling Thermostat did not get it to start drying. Any other ideas?
Wow, I am not sure at that point what you need to do.
Yes. I was looking for a service manual. Didn't realize it was in the bottom of the dryer. Thanks!!
Jesse McKowen 👍😁
a ton of electronics from computer power supplys to lcd tvs up to 2007 had a bad batch of I think taiwon capacitors.now most everything is military grade solid caps. and if your a cheap skate like me I have fixed a couple lcd monitors and TV's.i would keep the old control board just for the hell of it and look for buldged ,leaky capacitors.it is easier to just replace the board though. great vid!!
+Lee K so right.. Thanks for watching..
I just had this problem and I think is the same thing because my dryer won’t turn on and i got the sensing light on and I smell burn, I am going to have my housband do this firs before anything else
Thanks I hope my dryer works again🙏🏻
Hey fox boss!! Thank for shating this video. I easely check my board to see is all right. You give me the will to continue my check. The belt is broke, but my motor is ok, i found the switck on the bender to test it. Now i need to change the belt but ill succed. Thank you again!!
I have the exact same dryer with the same problem. Thank you for the video! Will follow your vid to fix it.
J D 👍😁
Thanks, I have the same problem... Amazon wanted $250... i found one on ebay used for $140... hope it 🙏 works when I receive it
*Foxboss9* Thank-you sir for taking the time to make this video, I was just about ready to take this machine out back & see how it would hold up to my .308. You gave me the confidence to tackle it myself. GOD Bless. (( New Sub ))
There's an easy fix for the board issue shown in the video, you don't have to buy a new board, all you have to do is apply solder to that area that's burned out. The solder has been burned out over time and because of that there is no longer a connection being made which is causing the disruption. Literally takes less than 1 min to just apply solder in that hole (it's obvious which one, the one with just the lead sticking out without enough solder where the burn area is on the board - the motor relay it's called I believe) then put the board back and it'll work again, no need to replace the board... that's what worked for me, so if you see the burned area at the bottom like above that'll most likely be your fix also. Hope that saves someone time and board cost. My symptoms where that everything worked but suddenly the dryer wouldn't tumble. The buttons all worked, but when I chose a cycle and hit start, I heard the click but the dryer didn't move. I checked the thermal and the thermistor fuse first, and of course mine where fine. Thank you for your video @Foxboss9
Thank you for this info. This board has been discontinued by the manufacturer and it seems those selling it now have increased the price by a pretty good amount. If this turns out to be my problem I will try this fix first!
Did you test the light blue and dark blue wires while they were still connected to the board?
Thx
This was so helpful
We replaced the motherboard and it works like a charm
Control board not working on my hoover tumble dryer
thanks i got a few dryer for free just fixed them all and sold them for 200$ for all the them thanks for your video
✔😁
Thank you so much, sir. You saved us a lot of money. We were told recently that bearings for the same dryer will need to get replaced soon as well. Would you happen to know what kind of bearings we would need. We might be brave enough to try tackling this project ourselves as well😉.
Sorry, not sure on exact bearings... Local appliance parts / repair store will know based on model number...
Foxboss9 great idea. Thank you kindly for the prompt response.
Thanks, great step-by-step video for the same problem I was having. I have a question before buying a new board and not being able to return it. What if there is no sign of anything being fried on the back of the control board (could there still be a problem)? I get an ohm reading ranging between 1.9-2.1. Ruled out door switch, thermal switch, motor switch, belt, and thermistor so I think it was down to motor or control board.
I saw that there was a burned area on my circuit board so that's why I went that direction
@@Foxboss9 I went over it again and although there was no burn mark on closer inspection some of the solder was missing. Resoldered and it has been working fine. Thanks for the video.
Thanks mine just died today..same burnt relay....no longer available so far...checking more but a new dryer is happening..
Thank you! So far your videos have helped me remove a sock from the drain in my washer, and now diagnosing a fried control board. I do have a question I am hoping you can answer. My washer and dryer are 12 years old. Until now, we have never had to replace a part in either of them. While replacing the control board is a relatively easy fix, it does cost over $200. My fear is that because it is so old, this may just be start of more parts needing to be replaced. I don't want to end up replacing parts in a 12 year old dryer that will end up costing me as much as a new one. So my question is: Is it worth replacing the control board, or should I just look into purchasing a new one? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again!
As long as the rest of the machine is working fine, then personally I would replace the board... you can see the date on this video and from that point on we have been using our machine with no issues whatsoever.
I really appreciate you getting back with me so quickly. I value your opinion, so I will be ordering a new board. Thanks!
Great video! 👍
Same exact dryer, same symptom, but no burn mark on the board though. Zero resistance on the blue leads.
Does this mean my motor is bad?
Thank You for your help!
Chances are good
Thank you so much for posting this video! I just did the reset a few times and it worked!!
Spot on video! Even down to the same burn mark! Thank you!
Thank you very much for this video; clear. We had the same burnt circuit on control panel. Saved $ and spouse is happy.
Thank you very much. Haven't attempted my repair yet, but your video is perfect and we'll made. Liked and subscribed. 🤙🏾
Thanks Man! Great video! My Maytag had the same issue. Circuit board was burnt in the same spot. New board will be here in 2 days. I need to buy you a beer as you just saved me a lot of money!!
Mark Fenner 😁👍
Great video. My control was burned out just like in the video. Too bad any place I called said the part was discontinued and the one I did find on amazon was over $500. Ended up buying a new dryer for only $100 more than the replacement part. Still a good video though.
Thanks, I just checked my links in the description and the control boards still available on Amazon. They run $380.
Foxboss9 thanks. Still makes sense for me to buy the new dryer for the price difference. Maybe it’s more because I’m in Canada.
Good video. Thanks. Did all that, one relay clicking on new board, won't start. Ideas?
Sorry, you'll have to use the troubleshooting flowchart that comes with the dryer
Thank you so much! The video was perfect and I was able to replace the board myself and save money. Very much appreciated!!!
great! glad to hear!!
This was great. Found the problem. How difficult is it to just replace the Omron relay on the board? If I order the whole board, any idea on how long it will last.....just wondering because of not knowing what caused it to fry the first time, just wear and tear?
I contemplated the same thing but came to the conclusion that the reason the relay went bad could have been another issue in the board. Although the board is a larger expense, in comparison to the original price of the dryer it's a fraction of what they cost new. I decided the dryer was definitely worth it and haven't had a single issue since the boards replacement over a year ago... If things continue to operate well for another 4-5 years and the board goes out again, I decide if the dryer is still worth it at that point. But so far, the 8 ball says, "all signs point to yes" :-)
I have a GEW9250PW1 that doesn't light up at all, nothing. Not sure which board would be at fault. The thermo fuse is shot and one is on the way. Any ideas?
Thank you is a great. Video but also I wonder if you can only replace the relay
Some people have success with just relay but most cannot solder and other components and board may also go bad
Hi.I ck the buttons MANUAL DRY TIME and no light on, the AUTOMATIC CYCLES IS OUT OF CONTROL ,You think if I change the CONTROL BOARD will solve the problem of my dryer,thanks in advance, I'm wait for you reply
FoxBoss, VERY NICE video. I am somewhat handy, but would not have been able to do this on my own. Here is my dilemma, would welcome your advice. I have the same issue - push the button, it won't start. (for a while there it would just take a lonnnnggg time to start, now not at all.). At any rate, I removed and tested the thermal fuse, it has continuity. Then i followed your instructions and started the diagnostics. When i did the +-+- sequence all the buttons checked out, even the start button caused a beep. So I went to Test 2, exposed the electronic module, and measured across P1-3 and P1-4, and it checked out. I have continuity. Here is the problem. I don't have easy access to the back panel. Long story, but let's just say that elegant interior design precludes me from practical action. So i cant do the rest of the tests in Test 2. And you didnt do those in your video anyway, so i would probably not do it properly. Is it likely that this is still the control module and i should just change it? Feels like that is more likely than a physical wiring issue. But its $200... so not sure what to do. Any thoughts? THANKS!!!
oh, and i have the same unit. Maytag Epic. I had three screws holding down the elec control mod tho, so not sure if that is newer or older
and one more comment.... your profile says you are an Ohio guy, so pretent that my goBlue handle really says go Buckeyes! man, i will say anything for some help... :-)
That sounds to me like a board..Not 100% sure but maybe closer to 85%
thanks. I just realized that i didnt check that the thermistor had the proper resistance (10 ohms if my research is right), is that worth doing before i do the board?
Checked mine with a multimeter and got a OL reading?? Is the panel bad?
I have this same exact looking dryer. Interior light comes on but panel is dead. No lights, beeps, nothing. Any thoughts on what may be wrong? Thanks.
Appreciate your time, info and the video! Blessings.
I thank you for this video. Helped me find and fix the problem with my dryer. FYI mine did the same thing. Thanks again, George

Hey great vid pal. Hopefully I’ll never need it - lol. My issue is that I need to get the front user interface panel off and the right side is binding and I can’t get it off. I had it apart 3x and never had a problem but I must be forgetting something this time. Any ideas?
my dryer not produce heat of maytag and it spin and i check the circuit breaker and lint screen okay. how to change the thermostat? and how to fix it.
I replaced the control board and I still have the same problem, it does not select. The test in this video (+,-,+,_), allows to select, but the lights in my selector remain On, not like in the video where it selects. What could be the problem now???
Hi Foxboss9, I'm about to order the replacement product from the link above and noticed that my control board has the exact same P/N but it says Rev C after the P/N, the part on Amazon says Rev F. Does this matter? I have a Maytag gas dryer that looks identical to yours but black. Thanks for the helpful video.
Marco Brunetti no that's not an issue, that just means that there has been revisions made. Revision f is a more advanced bored than revision C or anything previous to f.
