Dryer won't start Control Board replacement

Buy your Control Board here -- amzn.to/3lmLxlq
Get on Ebay here -- ebay.us/mDZCgh
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 !

[@JoeWessels]

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.

[@jasonross1092]

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!

[@MJ-mu8ri]

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!

[@IRgEEK]

Hello. Where did u find a refurbished board? I saw nothing less than $400 which is ridiculous for such a simple control noard.

[@RealCanadianable]

Perhaps the clearest repair video I've ever watched on KZbin. 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...

[@RealCanadianable]

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.

[@hooligan7784]

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

[@shuaduah]

I'll trade you. My screwdriver for your Louisville.

[@kshitijmishra9973]

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!

[@igobylucifermorningstar]

Did you fix it?? Having same problem with my epic series

[@DanDeFigio]

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)!

[@Foxboss9]

👍😊

[@jennytraub117]

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.

[@bruceapjrgmail]

Jenny Traub lol. Real talk. Thumbs down? Pfft!

[@TJ-tz3yw]

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....

[@mattskelly]

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!

[@ahlstrombd]

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!

[@Foxboss9]

AWESOME! Glad it worked out so well!!

[@flamingrace3458]

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.

[@eugenelwilsonjr8856]

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!!!!!!

[@susanimp.4549]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing this information! Your video was extremely detailed and helped greatly. This is EXACTLY what our issue was, and I’m sure it saved us a great deal of $! I am by no means a technician, but was able to follow along, and got the job done.

[@erpinterfaces9631]

So. First off really good video thanks. Other folks careful though at about six minutes when you test the board port one and four while you’re testing it you say the rating should be between one and six when what you really mean to say is the rating should not be between one and six. You do clear that up, but it was confusing it first. Also, I did not get any reading at all on my multimeter that is also an indication that the board is toasted. So my meter just sat at one never changed. When I took the board off the mount Shernoff it was black, right where yours was.thanks again. Great job.

[@erpinterfaces9631]

Update: Forgot to say that once I replaced the board I was back in business. My wife wanted a new dryer but looks like this one’s gonna go another 10 because I replaced the belt and the drum wheels and lubricated everything. 🥳

[@lauramcalinden7798]

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!

[@johnskalet8567]

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

[@vanessa12342able]

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.

[@Foxboss9]

👍😁

[@jeffjrich]

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.

[@aderia2132]

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.

[@danielleb2321]

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 :)

[@ethor44]

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.

[@Foxboss9]

[@pmoh]

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.

[@lobo3517]

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.

[@jennellelebeau3395]

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??

[@alittleofthisalittleofthat1653]

Thanks for the help! This video gave me exactly what I needed to fix my dryer.

[@janjohnston2609]

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.

[@donfranks4776]

[@spamkingshawn]

Great help. Same thing happened to mine . Followed steps and it is now up and running. Good production value.

[@calgaryalbertaguycag3762]

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

[@kimberlyfoster5883]

Great instructional video! Thanks to you and KZbin, 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!

[@elizabethmelendez193]

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

[@eleanorradcliff5566]

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!

[@DudeX01]

Thank you!!!! I just used your video to fix my dryer. Worked perfecttly.

[@onthelam2]

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.

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

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..

[@lindaswearingen4107]

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!

[@einfussganger]

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!

[@Foxboss9]

einfussganger 👍random errors are the worse to diagnose.. Good luck..

[@einfussganger]

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.

[@unicomaky]

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 $$$$

[@davidnoren3958]

What an awesome instructional video. This was so clear and on point all the way through, thank you!

[@macoeur1122]

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)

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.

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?

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.

[@Foxboss9]

Thanks, I just checked my links in the description and the control boards still available on Amazon. They run $380.

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🙏🏻

[@mgalpy]

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

[@allisterfiend_2112]

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!

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

[@Foxboss9]

Michael Kincaid Awesome! Had some negative feedback on the donate button sooo I pulled it.. A sub is great... Thanks!

[@MichaelKincaiddontroughit]

Foxboss9 👍Thanks again!

Thank you for the video, really helpful. Had same problems.

[@JamesPotts]

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.

Thanks for posting this! Helped me immensely - much appreciated...

[@Foxboss9]

Great to hear!!

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.

Checked mine with a multimeter and got a OL reading?? Is the panel bad?

[@rissatv1]

Thank you so much! Saved me lots of money.

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.

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.

[@Foxboss9]

I saw that there was a burned area on my circuit board so that's why I went that direction

[@michaelsimmons8091]

@@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.

Foxoss9- This my exact dryer. The plug you are pointing to at 5:40, on mine, started burning. I would like to replace the board, but am now worried that maybe it started on fire because of a bad motor. Your thoughts? The plug you removed at 9:46 is completely melted on mine. I would need to replace that as well. Thanks.

[@Foxboss9]

That is something you want to call a repair person for. No sense of burning down your house trying to save a few dollars on a dryer

[@NB-oy7fq]

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.

[@SteveV2023]

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?
