Thank you so much ! I purchased the Black+Decker version and upon receipt the drum wouldn't turn, the seller and Black+Decker just said send it back, after watching your video I fixed it myself ! Really gave me a shot of confidence as I don't have any experience with these things :)

Reason I got one of these is because I know they are simple to maintain so as long as you don't overload them and clean the filters they should last long. I'm going 10 years on a portable washing machine that I myself maintain and I've seen my same model in the garbage by others who I believe abused them. Good tutorial.

[@smada36]

This is fantastic! I have the Bush version. I've had it over a year but a few months ago (Out of warranty) it tripped the house fuse box and stopped working. I was going to throw it away and live without one, but this helped make me have a look. Pulling it apart, I found the little fuse had blown. I've been all over the machine and can't find a short. Putting a new fuse in, it seems to work, so I'm just waiting for it to do another fuse. My guess would be the heater, but thanks to you, I know where it is and what readings I'm looking for. Thanks!

Wonderful video, Great teacher! Love my little Panda dryer... I've had it over 6 years and I bought it from a Freight Damage store for $60 USD! The only blemish it had was the metal case at the timer was dinged. I pulled the drum, fixed the ding and have used it with very few failures! It's a reliable workhorse and very simplistic straight forward design. Currently, I have a No Heat situation I will be trouble shooting. Thank you for the upload👍 Edit: I'll probably have to stay with a US store as shipping from Great Britain to Oklahoma would be horrible, I presume.

@@How-to-repair Is it possible to keep the timer to stay in the hot zone only? We don't mind to open the door to turn it off manually.

[@jjustinengineer]

I found that if you put clothes or anything on the top of the dryer when it's operating, the dryer will eventually overheat and trip the thermal cutoff (so, don't do that). If that happens, simply turn the dryer switch to off and let the unit cool down to room temperature. The top of the dryer should be cool to the touch - not warm for the switch to reset. Then close the door and turn the switch to on and you should be good to go.

Mine had pet fur, hair, and a sweater string wrapped around the ring of the air system 0:40. It was causing the dryer to overheat specially around the heat fuse/small filter by the door on my panda.

I immediately unplugged it, waited a few minutes before plugging it back in again, it wouldn't start. Waited some more and it started working again. I allowed it to cool down at least 30 minutes. I guess it tripped the safety system because it was overheating. I believe all due to my new towels that are releasing a bunch of lint.

We started hearing a louder, lower pitched motor noise when the dryer starts cold, but then after about 10 minutes of use, the motor goes back to normal sound. Still drying the same, exhaust is perfectly clear. We cleaned it all out, and noticed a gap between drum felt and drum on one side, but no other obvious issues. Thoughts?

[@stinald]

Great tutorial! My Panda dryer won’t turn on anymore. I think the fuse and door latch should be the first things to check. I’m assuming that continuity in both thermostats only affects the on/off function of the heating element. Is there anything else that could prevent the motor from turning on and spinning?

[@clarissaendriga3592]

Hello! The fan belt on my Panda mini dryer has that yellow padding behind it, it’s pretty run down & is now causing a tapping sound on the drum. Is that yellow pad replaceable or should the fan belt itself be replaced? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

I have a Magic Chef I bought used. I had to replace the belt a few months ago. Now, it seems like the timer switch isn’t shutting the dryer off & it’s also turning on for a few minutes than shutting off…I had to unplug it in order to stop that happening. I’m wondering if it’s more than the timer switch. Magic Chef support said the belt but I had way different symptoms when that went before. I’m noticing that the dryer is not getting very hot either. But I’m not able to determine if it’s more than the timer switch or if that needs to be working in order for it to get warmer. Thank you. I appreciate any advice you might have.

Same problem. I have a Panda (model PAN865w) as well. Purchased two years ago February 2021. Mine has a touch control panel rather than a control knob setting. Panda does not provide anything in their manual to identify parts nor a schematic diagram of the dryer, other than the most rudimentary/ basic identification of the dryer. I've spent days trying to find solutions and/or parts to avoid dumping this dryer in the landfill. I bought it new for nearly $300. I'm a senior on a fixed income. I've never overloaded it and have cleaned both lint filters faithfully after EVERY load. At most I do my laundry twice a month. The problem is not belts..I removed the back panel a few days ago. It's an electrical issue that's preventing it from operating correctly. WHERE TO PURCHASE PARTS? And identifying the necessary parts is the issue. I'm extremely frustrated, angry and feel as if I threw nearly $300 out the window. If by chance you resolve your issue I would be so grateful if you'd share the solution and where you got the parts.

I have had a few problems with these making noises and most of the time it is because the base plate on the machine has moved. This can be due to someone putting the machine down hard, but if the base plate warps in any way it can cause noises to appear. Have a great Christmas and a happy New Year. I hope this rectified your problem. glad we could help you @ms50fifty this is for you kzbin.infoe432SAb2g08 please remember to subscribe as that's what keeps this channel going. Thanks 👍

What do I do if I hear a grinding noise 🤔

[@How-to-repair]

+Kyesha Fletcher I would check that you haven't bent the base of the machine as this is a common problem. I would love you to leave your opinion on our poll about manufacturers building in obsolescence to appliances. kzbin.infoUgkxygHomnUySd_bYjaJBdEHPO6T4dYo9Ahm and this is for you kzbin.infoe432SAb2g08 please remember to subscribe as that's is what keeps this channel going.

What if the drum keeps dropping off

[@Seekyahusha]

It’s blowing cold air… can you show how to fix that?

[@KimberleyCapri]

My white pully wheel is snapped in two!

[@KimberleyCapri]

Can you help, please, in purchasing the replacement correct part! 😊

[@KimberleyCapri]

The 1 that connects to the External fan, which turns the air in the machine. Broken pulley wheel was making it smell burnt, not having the belt on it, and making the noise of the fan sound mad loud when the belt was on the half boken pulley wheel!

My panda dryer started making a loud like rubbing noise like the drum is rubbing in something... hopefully I can figure it out from this video

[@How-to-repair]

I have come across a lot of problems with the base of the machine as it is a little flimsy. Make sure the base is in a perfectly straight condition. If these tumble do I have a knock on the base this can be the problem.

[@prosforecharitygolfeventse8197]

You skipped over way too quickly on how to actually put the drum belt onto the pulley. Super confused can't figure this out at all

[@ralphramirez1979]

My panda sat for a while. Plug it in the control panel lit up for 5 seconds. That's all it's doing. Turns off no power. Repeat same. Any recommendations?

[@MariaVictoria-qm6ur]

I have the question sir my dyer is exactly the same as you have the tumble dyer cost way in white and the drum itself is broken can I buy just the drum? Where to buy?

[@dvon3232]

I need to replace the power cord but can’t locate any in stock anywhere using the part #. Is there a universal power cord that I can purchase/locate relatively easy?

[@How-to-repair]

Any 13 amp power lead should do the job you will only need to do the connections inside the machine correctly. glad we could help you @dvon3232 this is for you kzbin.infoe432SAb2g08 please remember to subscribe as that's what keeps this channel going. Thanks 👍
