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!

[@Cndfirr]

[@emperorskeksi]

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]

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

[@gabrewer55]

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. And to the trolls that gave this video a thumbs down, well, you know what you can go do!

[@electronicsNmore]

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

[@SokemRokemRobot]

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]

Hi there. I've seen problems before at the motor. Attached to the motor is a switch which only allows power to the heating element when the motor is running. Take it apart and check it out. Thanks For Watching!

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.

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.

Same exact dryer. Problem is won't start. Tested everything you said, all checked out good, except when I got to the motor. The Blue and Black wire in motor not getting any reading. Blue and White getting 1.7 ohms. Blue and ground also did not show any reading. Arghhh! This was a great video. Thank you so much Does this mean I need a new motor?

[@electronicsNmore]

You can always apply power directly to the motor with the belt disconnected to see if it works. If it does, then you could have a faulty timer control.

[@fredk444]

Thank you. I already replaced the timer thinking it was that at first because at that point I only checked the switches, fuses, thermostat, which all checked out. Then I replaced the timer, still wouldn't start. Then I found your video that got me down to the motor, at which point the blue and black wires didn't register a reading. Amazon had the motor for only $60, so hoping for the best. If that doesn't work, I will bring the dryer out back and use it for target practice.

[@electronicsNmore]

fredk444 As I said, apply direct power to the motor, if it does not power up, then it's faulty.

[@fredk444]

How exactly does one apply direct power to the motor? I imagine somehow bypassing everything else, but how?

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?

Faulty door switch or timer.
