Thank you. Single mother with no help. I've watched several videos and yours is the best! Was able to switch out the coils all by myself.

[@vickikerman642]

Thank you! I ordered the parts from Amazon, replaced all three (heater, thermostat, shutoff thermostat), and it works like a champ! Thank you!

[@raneynickel7443]

Super helpful! I just replaced both the element and the thermostat, only lost 2 screws to the belly of the beast - and it works great - thanks!!

[@StayHumble86]

Thanks for taking your time and sharing some knowledge on this! I hope The Good Lord blesses you with a lot of work. I have issues with my dryer, and now I believe I can take care of it.

[@crusaderb.1901]

Thanks for he useful video. My dryers problem was the heating coil. But I plan to take your advice and replace both the thermostat and coil together. Keep up he great job. I don't often service or repair all my appliances but do on occasion and this was helpful.

[@LeanOnYourRep]

I'm glad my videos were helpful to you. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions in the future

[@gardencity3558]

[@AzaB2C]

Great info. Thank you for the detailed walkthough. Cheers!

[@MetroDetroitAreas]

Thank you! Ordered the kit did what you said and it works!!

[@LeanOnYourRep]

Awesome

[@nosoyono1081]

Awesome information thank you 😊

[@campbel_st7946]

Hi, thanks for the great video! I highly appreciate it. I have a question. I was able to take out the heating element. After that, I wanted to remove the thermal fuse bracket (with the thermal fuse attached) from the heater housing, but cannot remove it. Could you tell me how to do that (and any tool I should use)? In the video, you did that very easily (7:16), so I was puzzled. Thanks again!!

[@carycoller3140]

Great video.

[@LeanOnYourRep]

Thx Cary

[@elenalimon6783]

Very helpful, where can I purchase the kit?

[@330legacy]

Great video. Replaces the heat coil and thermal breakers but unit will still not run at all. There is another thermal unit on the front behind the front panel. Could this be the problem? Where to get this item? Any other ideas?

[@autumndawnendeavors]

Thank you for the info. Sad that I cannot buy parts from you.

[@arnienewland7553]

Bought kit replaced heating element, thermostat and thermal cutoff (one with red dot in kit) and cleaned out dutwork. Heater comes on but goes off and then comes back on but does not stay on long but i can hear thermostat clicking/working but clothes are still wet after 30 minutes. What next? Thanks

[@wooddawgz1504]

What are the yellow things in the drum....

[@billmiller2033]

keeps blowing thermal fuse....ducts clean---deems like heat doesn't turn off,,,would that be the thermostat under the top like in your video ? thks

[@stephenjolayemi6292]

Maytag Performa dryer, MDE2500AYW, has worked great the 18 years we’ve had it and I beleive I can get another 10 out of it. This January the jumper wire on the heater element burnt up. I replaced it and the dryer started heating up again. Two weeks ago same wire burnt again. I’m thinking is there something else. Heater element looks fine no damage, no rust or cracks in the coil. I would like to send you a picture I took.

[@SeattleJCB]

Dang I wished I had found this video first! My dryer is not heating up and looks like we have the same year so I’ll be ordering the parts and I’ll let you know if it works

[@SeattleJCB]

Well Reggie don’t know if you still doing video but following up thanks to you it works all I had to is replace the thermostat thanks👍

[@LeanOnYourRep]

I do! Glad to help

[@SeattleJCB]

@@LeanOnYourRep great help and thanks!

[@SeattleJCB]

@@LeanOnYourRep good morning Reggie! Now the dryer won’t start at all! I don’t see anything from your videos regarding this situation! I’ve looked other KZbinrs and for some reason it’s giving me 2 different thermal fuse to replace one is round n other is white oblong shape! Don’t know if it’s the back but my dryer seems like it’s one piece on the back of my dryer so I’m wondering if it’s behind the big drum sorry if that’s not the actual name! Sorry it’s kinda long but thanks if you have any idea

[@asagreear3692]

Where can i get kit??

[@unclegeorge7845]

Excellent video. Is this a nicely designed appliance - for the repair person anyway. If I were paying someone I'd go for your kit but as its me and its easy - well, you know.

[@homevideos91]

Any idea where the hi limit thermostat is on model Maytag gas dryer model PYG2300AWW? Thanks!

[@LeanOnYourRep]

Go to searspartsdirect.com put in model number and you'll see an exploded view of the machine parts.

[@patbateman6729]

replaced all 3 parts, and still takes too long to dry, makes heat but takes longer to dry load???

[@r0b0bert]

One handed bandit ftw

[@sherriedavis8128]

Do the leads just pull off from the thermostat or is there a trick to getting them off.

[@LeanOnYourRep]

I usually use a screw driver to pry them off

[@sherriedavis8128]

Thanks , That worked.

[@sherriedavis8128]

Thank you for the video. It was very helpful and everything was explained well.

[@josetrejo9025]

I’m trying to do this but it’s doesn’t pop open

[@Dr_Dank710]

So.. what if it wasnt the heating element or the temperature sensor or the thermal cut off..? All mine show that they have continuity.

[@LeanOnYourRep]

Check for element grounding and test power outlet for 240v of power

[@riouxr]

I checked both thermostat and heating coil. They both passed the test. So I don't know what I can do next at this point.

[@LeanOnYourRep]

Need more info. What brand of dryer? What's the issue, not turning on or not heating?

[@allya8864]

We have the same dryer and model as this one, issue is it won’t heat. We bought a kit and replaced everything, fuse, switch, coils. It turns on but doesn’t hear. Continuity and all is there. What else could it be? An electric issue?

[@LeanOnYourRep]

Voltage tester will be the next step, dryer needs 240 volts to run

[@josuecorona2607]

You unplug it but do I plug it to see if it has cuntuity@@LeanOnYourRep

[@mangrum6]

What if this dryer cuts on for 30secs and cut right back off

[@LeanOnYourRep]

Depending on the type of dryer, if it runs for a few minutes turns off and you have to wait before it starts on again then that's a sign of a bad motor. If you have a GE, if the dryer is overheating due to clogged up air duct it will automatically turn off and then switch back on

[@sylvialemos6025]

My pye4500ayw moisture sensor bar broke off but the part is discontinued...what can i do to fix?

[@LeanOnYourRep]

You can just use time dryer or find the part on Amazon or Ebay

[@MrDale6353]

I replaced the heating element and the thremostat and still no heat. Any suggestions?

[@LeanOnYourRep]

Check your voltage going in, your home could have a bad circuit breaker

[@tonievans2821]

Heating element bad so replaced it.Got red glow on elements but no heat.???
