This Maytag Bravos Dryer is not heating. We show you how to get to it to test it and replace it.
How to test and element? You will need a multi-meter that can test continuity or resistance. You put the leads across the element terminals and see if you have any resistance. Anywhere around 10 ohms is good. If you see and O.L that means the element is bad or you are not on the metal correctly.
If your dryer will not turn on I would look at the thermal fuse first. That or the door switch. More often than not the problem is in the Fuse.

Two things amaze me about this - first, that you filmed the exact model dryer with the exact issue as ours and second, your amazing generosity in sharing your knowledge with us. The satisfaction I got in repairing my own dryer was more rewarding than even the savings of avoiding an expensive repair call. You are a Rock Star 🌟

Our Maytag dryer just stopped heating suddenly. My husband found your video. After discovering that a repair person would not be available to come out and look at our problem for nearly a week, we decided to brave it and follow your instructions. My 19 year old son and my husband took the dryer apart as you directed. We identified the problem to be the heating element. I called a local appliance part store and located the part we needed. It is currently drying its first load of laundry. Thank you so much for giving such a thorough and easy to follow tutorial. We are not necessarily handy, but your instructions helped us make the repair!! Thank you!!!

Thank you so much for this video! Purchased the heating element for around $40 online and followed your advice step by step. Fixed the problem for a sliver of what it would have cost us for a new dryer. Can't thank you enough! I also wanted to add another possibly helpful tip. I used a C shaped clamp to anchor the drum to the top of the dryer. It provided me enough room to get the element out and replace with a new one without removing the drum. Saved me some time.

Thank you so much for such a GREAT video tutorial! I used your video to successfully replace the heating element on the same type of drier. However, I will say that I ran into several issues during my install that might be noteworthy to add to your video. 1) I had everything dismantled and just happened to see that the idler pully was pretty black in the belt track. I attempted to turn the pulley and it was frozen up solid! I ended up having to replace the idler pully as well. So I would suggest mentioning to people to check that the idler is free spinning while they have the drier all opened up. 2) I put the belt on wrong on my first attempt and got the whole drier completely back together to find that the drier would turn on but run a drying cycle. I took it apart again and learned that I misfed the belt the wrong direction, which caused the idler arm to lower down onto, what I would call a cutoff switch, which kept the drier from spinning the drum. I assume that is a cutoff switch to turn the drier off if the belt breaks. I would mention in the video that if the drier does not run a drying cycle when install is complete, that this may be the problem. Check the routing of the belt. 3) I bought a kit that included the idler pulley, drum rollers, and belt. I worked on getting the belt on for the longest time without success. I took the back panel of the drier off so that I could get to the pulley better. I noticed that when I was attempting to put the belt on, I was unable to move the pulley arm up far enough to allow the belt to slip over the motor pulley. I then found that the pulley idler arm was actually hitting the shaft of the motor, not allowing it to raise up enough to put the belt on. I found that the NEW belt was too short. Luckily, I was able to use the old belt, which dropped right into place. I would say to others to compare the new belt length with the old belt length to see if you actually got the right belt. It would save a lot of time, effort, and frustration. Those are just the problems I ran into that would be great things for people to know up front to avoid the same problems. Thank you again for the great video! Your teaching style is exemplary.

Hey Bearded Repair Dude, Thank you so , so much for Maytag Bravos dryer vid! It was just great I can understand why you've had over 50,000 views in less than a year. You were especially good at searching for a clear camera angle for some of the tricky parts: very well done. I'm over 70 years old and my only previous appliance repair was using a fork to get a stuck piece of toast out of my toaster. You've changed my life. I would only say I could not find your links to order parts from you, which I certainly would have done. (I needed a new heating element, just as in your example.)

Used this video to replace the heating element in our Maytag. Took me a little longer then the 24 minute video, but that's because I had to come back to the video a few times to make sure I was following along correctly. The belt was a little harder then it was shown in video, but after a few curse words got the belt on properly. Thank you for posting.

Thank You for making the well-made, thorough Dryer diagnosis and repair for the heating element! To help others: I would like to mention my hands were too big to put the belt on after the drum was in place. My alternative was to put the belt on the motor and idler pulley before the drum and carefully slip the belt over the drum during the drum install. Permatex High-Temp Red RTV Silicone was useful in holding the felt drum gaskets in place. Well done! Thanks again.

Question. I followed your directions perfectly. installed all three parts to the dryer element housing. element and 2 temp gauges. worked perfectly for 3 loads then stopped drying clothes. the thing your touching :32 is hot to the touch, but clothes remain damp. I took off the front and tricked the door switch with a copper wire to see it run (heat up). for 30 seconds the dryer ran without the element heating up, then suddenly it became very hot, and popped, welding itself to the housing? New element on the way, any suggestions? Thanks for helping and your voice is calming making the problem easy to deal with . tia.

I have the same exact dryer like the one in your video. I was easily able to take everything apart using your instructions. By the way thank you very much for making this video. When I did a continuity test on the heating element using 200 Ohms it did not register anything, but there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it other than a couple of cracks in the metal. There is a very small area near the coil that looks very slightly scorched but the coil is otherwise not damaged or broken that I can see. The thermal cut-off fuse kit tested at 1.3 Ohm with my digital multimeter set on 200 Ohm. When I changed the Ohm on my meter to the highest setting, then I was able to get a reading on the heating element. I suspect since it's a longer distance around, a higher Ohm was needed to conduct the continuity test. Are there any other tests or things I should look for to help me try to diagnose why it's not drying the clothes? I've come this far, so hopefully you can help me bring this to completion. I appreciate your assistance. Thank you,

Follow up. Got the job done accessing the innards. A tip for the rest of the uninitiated DIYers out there if it suits you. I had a hard time putting the belt back onto the tensioner and motor idler because of the spring action, tight working space, and an awkward position for my physique. Maybe, as a suggestion, when the drum is out and there’s full access to that area, use a zip tie to pull up and hold the tensioner in place. It made it easier after I got the drum back in and reached around to get the drum belt back on correctly. After the belt was placed and turning the drum was verified, I just reached around and cut the zip tie. You can either leave it, but it’s easy to remove if you knot a thread or string onto the zip tie when placing it and use the thread to pull out the zip tie after it’s cut. Again, thanks for the tutorial. Waiting for the next appliance to break.

This video was great! Was able to determine it was the heating element and ordered and replaced it. It worked for about 2 weeks before it stopped heating again. Any thoughts?

This was a great video and allowed me to save hundreds replacing the dryer. I do have one recommendation. It seems you were using something to prop up the drum especially during the re-install. I eventually figured this was necessary and stuffed some shoes underneath. Guidance on propping the drum would have been helpful.

Thank you for the guidance! My had exactly the same issue. Although I change the broken heating element, still doesn’t start. Would you happen to have some suggestions? (exactly the same model)

After my husband put everything back together, he noticed he had reversed the polarity on the black and red leads on the fuse. ( he switched the red and the black). Everything seems to work fine. Do you think he needs to take it apart to the point he can switch them back?

Explained very well. I am repairing an old Maytag Bravos just like this one. Nice visual descriptions. Thanks.

Thank you for the great video! One note though, as I am constantly flumoxed by the numerous array of locking plastic electrical connectors,...wish you would have mentioned the black plug on the thermostat, and that you pry the back away before popping out the plug. You seemed to casually pull away all the plugs in a like manner.

To echo all the previous comments: this was a great video. My wife and I are learning to be handy, and this taught us a lot in evaluation/diagnosis and management/maintenance of our problem (bad heating element). Super helpful. Thank you so much. Stay bearded, my friend.

The video really helped me to replace the dryer heater. Putting the belt back on threw me for a loop! :) I had to imaging how the belt will go on from the front view since the camera view was from the rear facing the front. But, the dryer is working now so the wife is happy!

Thanks for posting!. Followed your steps. But after restarting, I heard some clicking and then the drum stop rotating. I removed the back panel and checked the belt which was still intact and installed properly. I found a plastic, round piece that appeared to be torn of and slightly melted. I rechecked your video but did not see this part at all. I also checked the schematics and cannot identify it. Let me know if I can send you a pic of the part to see if you know what it could be. I restarted the dryer and it appears to be working ok now.

This is a great video but I have a gas heat dryer, same model and it's not heating. Do you have a video on how to troubleshoot that model?
