@@floorit4443 😂 thank you. It’s my one and only. I sold all my others in the collection and just bought one nice one. One day when I retire I’ll upgrade. Maybe a Fluted bezel and jubilee band. More flashy. Thank you for watching too.

[@MrJagnuts007]

This is a good video. I’m going to have my wife screw it all back up 😂

[@LAapplianceguy]

[@LAapplianceguy]

@@Drift-Daddy that’s the big ol Maytag for sure! 😆

[@Drift-Daddy]

Lol

[@KarlBerlin]

What's the part number?? For the heating element from Amazon

[@LAapplianceguy]

@@KarlBerlin I would be careful with “some” of the Amazon elements. I can tell when they come in with them. They usually only last a month or so. But the part number for this particular unit is wp3387747. I would go with the factory one if you can. Not the cheap cheap ones. You need to look it up by the model number to make sure you get the proper element for your dryer.

[@CedDreshaunJones]

I cannot get the screw to go back in the heating element

[@LAapplianceguy]

@@CedDreshaunJones yes sometimes they don’t want to line up. I have been known to leave the screw holding the element out. Shhh 🤫. Haha that thing is wedged in there so tight it ain’t going nowhere

[@CedDreshaunJones]

@@LAapplianceguy will it be alright if I did leave it out?

[@LAapplianceguy]

@@CedDreshaunJones you are talking about the one that goes side ways into the element itself right? If so then yes I have left them out because the element is wedged so tight it won’t move. I try to get them in but sometimes they just won’t thread into it

[@CedDreshaunJones]

@@LAapplianceguy thanks man really appreciate

[@LAapplianceguy]

@@CedDreshaunJones no problem. Thanks for the positive feedback. I’m glad I could help a little 👍

[@jamiepage8170]

No need to remove all that stuff to get to heating element!!😂😂😂

[@LAapplianceguy]

@@jamiepage8170 no not really. But I like to get all the way in them sometimes. Depends on how frisky I am 🤣

[@CedDreshaunJones]

Is it supposed to smell burnt after you put the heating element on?

[@LAapplianceguy]

@@CedDreshaunJones yes sometimes you get a weird “new element smell” is what we call it. It will burn off. I think it’s just oils from manufacturing it

[@dmbsituation]

Please share how to get to the element in an easier path.

[@LAapplianceguy]

@@dmbsituation kzbin.info/www/bejne/raGUnYV9qqZ2rposi=rbpGR0SLuhSPWpzp this was another 3387747 element change. Easy

[@remuskey]

Great video, I believe our Maytag Bravos XL Dryer heating element is out as well. Would it be covered under the manufactures warranty?

[@LAapplianceguy]

@@remuskey thank you for the kind words. elements are covered under the 1 year warranty from the manufacturer. Don’t think they cover it longer than that. Easy fix though.

[@jolishamona]

my dryer is not turning on at all. the thermal fuse has been replaced, do you know if the heating element would cause the dryer to not turn on??

[@LAapplianceguy]

@@jolishamona the element shouldn’t stop it from coming on. It will usually run but not heat up. If the thermal fuse is new check the door switch and start switch. And also power. Then it could possibly be in the control/timer. All of this depends on what kind of unit it is too. But definitely check the door switch next. Hope that helps.

[@jolishamona]

@@LAapplianceguy thank you kindly! i ordered a door switch today and hoping that does the trick!

[@LAapplianceguy]

@@jolishamona worth a shot they aren’t too expensive.

[@NakeshInc]

Are you working outside all day?

[@LAapplianceguy]

@@NakeshInc no not all day. I try and move inside towards the late morning and into the afternoon. But yesterday I had soooo many to fix so I tried to hustle through them. Another possible 100°+ temps today too. 🥵

[@NakeshInc]

@@LAapplianceguy You need a big fan out there or one of those outdoor air conditioners.

[@LAapplianceguy]

@@NakeshInc I used to have one but it died. I might get another one here soon. If I wasn’t hard so headed I’d just bring them all inside. We have a 3ton mini split inside the shop 🤣

[@jessebaker8497]

Don't lose the bolts

[@LAapplianceguy]

@@jessebaker8497 100% solid advice! 😂

[@danielreschke2312]

May tag is not what it used to be.

[@LAapplianceguy]

@@danielreschke2312 that is 100% true.
