This was a VERY GOOD explanation of dryer maintenance. I've cleaned gas dryers with the lint catch located at bottom of opening for loading clothes. When my neighbor was throwing out a dryer like you worked on, but gas, I grabbed it to take apart. Was a good learning experience. I would use a length of rubber hose, 3/4 inch car heater hose to reach into dryer to vacuum it out, this worked well for periodic maintenance. One should ALWAYS clean lint trap after each use.

I've been troubleshooting and repairing my old Sears Kenmore gas dryer for almost 25 years now and I found that the burner valve solenoid coils can become weak over time. When this occurs there is not enough magnetism generated to hold the valve open and it will shut off. Just recently I had the flame ignite, burn for about a half minute, then shut off. I suspected the solenoid coils again; however, I had just replaced these only about five years ago. Turns out that the exhaust vent was completely blocked at the louvers outside the house. I removed the wad from the vent and now my dryer is back in service. Thank God I found this blockage and thanks to the manufacturer designed this machine to have temperature sensors in the dryers internal exhaust duct to monitor the temperature and shut down the machine if they sense a temperature above normal. We typically clean the lint screen; however, I had recently threw a bunch of burlap into the dryer after having washed it and I never experienced more of a mess than what this material made. I cleaned the lint screen and the next time I ran the dryer with normal fabrics in it is when the trouble began. A word of advise: don't run burlap in your machines. If you have the flame got out after a a short time, first check your vent for clogs as I had. You'll save a lot of time and money if that is the root of the problem.

So, I came across your video, and even though the lint was not the reason behind my dryer not working, I figured, since I had it apart already, it wouldn't hurt to clean that out too. Turns out that this (used) dryer was SOOOOO Clogged with I don't know what.... including a pencil (go figure), that I can't believe I didn't have a fire! The bottom hole where everything settles was completely blocked! So, thank you so much for this video. I would never have known to clean this out, so thank you!!!!

Deanna Davis, Probably the exact same thing happened to my drier the other day. The lint blocked the wheel from turning as well and as a result it blew its high temperature safety thermostat that's at the top of my long heating element. The video I saw that walked me through testing all the different parts with a Ohms Meter said if the safety thermostat blows to go ahead and replace the lower operating thermostat also because it could have been damaged. My local appliance parts store sells them as a combo package. Good luck!

Cleaning this out fixed the vibration problem but I still had a thump-thump each rotation of the drum. Taking apart the front, I discovered a small amount of compressed lint in the roller groove which hit each roller every rotation. I scraped it out with a butter knife and reassembled. Thumping is now gone and unit runs smoothly. Thank you for this video as it gave me the confidence to disassemble my dryer and save an expensive service call.

what is the name of the tool us3d to remove the screws. Also what is the name of the screw
@dalelowery95406 жыл бұрын
Ordinarily, "metal screws" are used for this type of application. These metal screws have been designed and made specifically for use with metal rather than wood or plastic. These screws ordinarily have an X or "cross" pattern on the head, as opposed to older screws that have a slot cut in a straight line across the head. These machine screws, with their so-called Phillips head, can be loosened with a Phillips screwdriver. (The older screws use a "flat head" screwdriver.) Sometimes machine screws may have a second way of being turned, if they have a "hex-head"... This is when the head of the screw, instead of being round, is a six-sided head similar to (though smaller than most) lag bolts or other heavy-duty bolts or screws. When the machine screw has a hex head along with the Phillips cross, the screw can be tightened or loosened (righty-tighty or lefty-loosie in the US) with either a Phillips screwdriver or a hex-head driver that is appropriately sized for the screw that has been used. Phillips screwdrivers come in various sizes to work better with differently sized screws, but most with work with most Phillips screws... sometimes poorly, if the discrepancy between the screwdriver and the screw is too great. This "most work with most" is NOT true for hex drivers, however. You need the proper sized head on your driver to fit closely on the head of the screw. Otherwise, you'll either not be able to use it at all, or run the risk of stripping the corners off of the screw, which renders it much more difficult to remove or later replace.

I'm still trying to figure out what that little pressure differential things does. I used to have a dryer just like that. Had it apart a few times. I think mine was much older, tho, it was a "Wrinkle Guard 1", lol. Got it from a used appliance place. The door cables had been replaced with clothesline rope, and they were too short. I picked up cables at Sears and fixed that. After a while it stopped heating. The leads at the element had spiced in low quality wire with automotive butt connectors connecting them to the factory wiring harness. The leads literally burnt off. I spliced in high temperature fiberglass coated wire to fix that. I put a new belt in it once, not because it broke, but because a friend's broke and I had to take mine apart to figure out how to route the belt. So I figured why not put a new belt in? The top filter did not have a lid like that one, it just dropped in. The factory handle screws were missing and somebody put in long sheet metal screws or something like that, rofl. When I got rid of it, it still worked. The only problem was the drum supports needed work. Sometimes the drum wouldn't turn, so to get it to work all you had to do was manually turn the drum a little, then quick start it and it ran fine. ;) I would have fixed it, but my washer had sprung a gasket leak in the gear box. The oil leaked out all over. It still ran, but I was lazy and figured it would still keep running, but it turns out that it really needed to have a full gearbox. Gears need oil? Go figure, lol. It made it a couple years then the gearbox stripped out. :( Sooo, I bought a new washer and figured I'd get a dryer and get the whole "set".

Thank you so much for the vid on clearing the lint out of my 23 y/o Whirlpool dryer! I appreciated your discussion of reasons for the dryer taking so much longer to dry the clothes and decided lint buildup might be the problem. It was very easy for this 60+ y/o lady to follow your instructions and clear out the packed lint at the bottom of the lint trap. Given the age of my dryer, the lint trap housing foam seal just kind of broke apart and fell off when I removed the housing. The condition of the foam seal around the blower housing wasn't much better (dry and compressed). After a brief search online for my model's parts, I found the necessary replacement part names and where to order. I'm fortunate where I live to have an appliance parts store near by and was able to pick them both up for just under $20. I dried a load of clothes last night and drying time was back to normal!!

Great vid! I started out thinking "this guy takes forever to get started." I ended up knowing he not only tells you how to do it, but WHY you need to do it. and explaining the locations of the temp switch and circuit fuse is onemore thing that makes Blake impressive.

Thank you for posting this video. It is extremely thorough and you do an excellent job at explaining things. The best video about how to clean lint out of a dryer. In addition to vent cleaning, the actual dryer needs to be cleaned of lint, too. So thank you.
