I have a 28 years old Whirlpool dryer and here is what I have fixed, so far the dryer still run like a Champ. 1) Motor (burned out) 2) Pulley and belt (noisy/cause by lot of lints on the wheels). 3) igniter (igniter not glowing due to broken off). 4) Coil Valves (weak and not able to dry clothes) 5) Thermal fuse. (dryer lint block/clogged vent pipe). Thanks for the excellent video and my fixes are on your top 10 list.

I appreciated all the knowledge you generously provided! As a new home owner, there’s a lot I don’t know about just maintaining a home (how to replace air filters or how often to replace them, drain water heaters, etc) and it seems with your knowledge you could make a video on basic maintenance that needs to be done around the house that many people would benefit from (and then you could just link to the more in-depth videos) Just a suggestion.

Great info! Had a gas, front loading dryer that would melt synthetic clothes at a medium heat. Had it worked on numerous times, no one could figure it out. I just didn’t dry anything but cotton and only used medium low to low all the time. Was a very expensive dryer too, brand new. Yes, I had it looked at under warranty.

There wasn't any problem to be found. Whether you use high or medium heat the temperature is the same what changes is how long the temperature remains on or off. What I am trying to say is: When you have the high heat on the heat will remain longer than when you have the heat set up for medium, but the temperature will be the same for its peak only the time it remains will be shorter. Hope it can help. Have a good day.

Very informative. Regarding the Bosch dryer reset button: After resetting it, you should check for a reason it tripped. Otherwise it could just trip again. I had it happen twice and both times it was lint build up somewhere in the dryer vent. The other thing is the belt slipping off on some dryers. I think if someone spins the drum the wrong way it can take the belt tensioner and make it go loose just long enough for the belt to pop off. Who can resist spinning the drum by hand at least once?

Have a Maytag gas dryer from 1973 that’s still going strong along with the matching washer. Interesting thing is it doesn’t have a igniter but uses a standing pilot, and I haven’t had a single issue with the pilot light going out and the only thing that can go bad is a thermal couple and that’s about it.

I just had our 6 year old Maytag dryer apart because of black filings which I figured was the idler pulley falling apart,but upon further review one of the roller guide wheels was the cause of the filings,one had started to not fully spin and smear and mar the edge of the drum. I also found the bottom of the ducting port that goes to the hose really constricted with lint and other debris,most likely a dryer fire adverted !

Hello and tx for ur video. My last dry stopped with clothes still damp and warm. I push the start button but i hear a noise as if the dryer wants to start spinning, but it wont. Do u think its the fuse?
@WordofAdviceTV
@WordofAdviceTV 2 жыл бұрын
If you hear a noise like it is trying to start, then likely it is not the fuse. It's possible that the motor overheated. Or the pulley/rollers are stuck. If the motor overheated, it usually will turn back on if you give it some time to cool off. As for the rollers and pulley, you would need to take the dryer apart and take a look.

Home Depot sells a dryer vent brush kit for cleaning the lint out of the dryer vent. I also had to purchase the the extension rods because I have such a long run. My vent became clogged and my thermal fuse blew. I also got rid of the flexible vent that connects the dryer to the vent pipe in the wall and replaced it with a vent periscope that allows me to get the dryer much closer to the wall and provides much better air flow.

Hello sir. I don't know if you're still in the dryer repair profession, I'd like to run a question by you. I've got a cheap modern Roper dryer. The model wirh the lint trap on the top right hand back corner or the dryer, with a single timer knob and push start button on the control pannel. The issue im having is lint and dust seams to always be all over the top of the dryer, the walls around the dryer on top of the washer next to the dryer. I use a higher end metal flexible duct. the type that a has a 90° angle head on each end the swivels in 360° on each end. It is a shorter duct, only running from the bottom of the dryer to about 3/4 the hight of the dryer then venting straight threw the wall. The duct and vent are all clean and clear. Its not clogged outside at all. I empty the lint trap nearly every load. I thought the lint and dust were leaking from seams or cracks in that duct. So i sealed the entire duct with a strong air tight sealant, i also used aluminum duct tape to secure the duct to the dryer and to the duct leading outside, so its not coming from any of the normal locations one would think it would be. When i removed the rear cover from the dryer, there was a small amount of dust and lint inside of the cabinet, but not more than you would see opening any dryer. I'm kinda stumped and am considering using masking tape to seal the seams around the area that the lint trap slides down into, to see if it eliminates the problem, thinking maybe its blowing up and out threw there. It only seams to have a thin felt seal around it. But that seams to be a huge hassle that i can't imagine my gf or daughter keeping up with as often as laundry is being done. Do you have any other thoughts, or any ideas of something else i might look at first? Thank you for your time.

Breaker can go bad too. Have enough power going through one side of the breaker for the dryer to come on and tumble but not enough to heat the element. So instead of the dryer being broke...its just not getting enough juice. Had this happen once. Dryer quit heating, I replaced it with one my grandparents had in their shop that had worked great. When it did the same as the 1st, I figured it wasn't the dryers... it had to be related to the one thing they had in common...the breaker. One customer (man) at the hardware store tried to argue with me swearing it was not possible, either it was getting power or it wasn't...when I was talking to a friend who owned the hardware store. My friend had never heard of that happening before but could see how it might would. Another customer (a much older man) confirmed that it was a definite possibility and I replaced the breaker...all was well.

Timer went out years ago but still let us turn dryer on. Shut it off by turning the dial on timer or opening the door. Door switch broke a few months ago. Think I need to order some parts. Lol Timer on washer just went out. Thought about new machines. Researching new machines makes me think I will order parts. Crazy built basic washers and dryers on the market now. Water saver, temperature, sensors and lid locks with a control board. I like basic simple machines. I don't need my smartphone to turn on my laundry when I am out of town. Sounds like something California had to do with.

The new machines are overpriced and don't last long. Repairing an old dryer is the best option IMO.

I did not hear this one mentioned and, in fact, an appliance technician with over 40 years experience was baffled by this one. We have a fairly new dryer that has been going through heating elements every two months or so. I've noticed that when the dryer has been on for only a few minutes the top of the dryer gets very hot to the touch - even when the heat is set on "low". At this point I think the machine may just be a lemon and something is wrong with the wiring or something. This is not an air flow problem. We've had the vents cleaned regularly. Any ideas? Thanks. It is driving us crazy and costing a lot of money.

When you say your dryer won’t work anymore when the thermal fuse blows, does that mean it absolutely will not turn on anymore? Or will it just not work properly? My dryer seems to overheat and turn itself off when I use it, so every load I have to run the dryer 3 , 4 times or sometimes even more. Should I replace the fuse?
