    Great video! Other than wanting some closeups on things like testing the heating element and the removal of that fan coupler with the lock would have been nice. But you saved me hundred of bucks man! Much appreciated.

    I think you did a fantastic job!
    Thank you
    I learned what I needed to know. The concept of open and closed circuits, however basic, is not understood by a layman.

    I have what I'd assume to be the exact same dryer, Roper model RED4640YQ0, died a few months ago. Actually just replaced every part BUT the timer for $20 bought on Amazon, and ofc it didn't work. Timer costs $68 on Amazon, don't have much choice but to try and hope for the best but I couldn't for the life of me unplug that smaller plug on top of the timer. Gonna try again tomorrow, but thx to you for making this video bc for all the help google is nobody else knew the timer was even a problem.

    Awesome vid, was able to get to and diagnose my issue! And much props to my appliance store clerk who helped me check these parts in a similar fashion, I said he needed a tip jar, $36 dollar fix to no heat all of a sudden. Was almost about to buy a whole new USED dryer again lol

    Sir you are a Saint, thank you for showing me what I was missing. I changed and check all the fuses and nothing. Spins and all fuses are good. But I didn't know the timer would affect this. So ordered mine through Ebay. I checked the timer like you did as well and CA was not working so I'm pretty sure it's that. Thanks again liked the video 👍.

    Appreciate the vid fellow DIY repairman, helped a lot with the same exact issue. Sadly when testing the upper thermostat i pulled the terminal off and with no solder I'm sure I'll order that and the timer.
    Hest coils check out fine as well as the lowet thermostat and thermal fuse, as well as the exhaust temp sensor. Where did you order the parts from, ebay, amazon?

    I realize video is 2 years old but ihave same dryer same problem. That part number brings up many compatible parts with a different number. I guess im fine with that but none of them indicate if they to come with that other tiny part he didn't use. My lint exit was clogged so i want to change that aswell , just incase.

      Won't shut off heat? Sounds like stuck contacts inside that selector/timer.

    What if it’s heating but it takes 2-4 times depending on the load to dry the clothes?

    • @fixitdad9669
      @fixitdad9669  Год назад

      I would say that you may have a bad heating element. Check for continuity between elements.

    • @fixitdad9669

      Not sure 🤔. Have you traced out the wiring schematic and checked all the safeties? Does your heating element have continuity?

  • @michaelmorse1588

    i have an analog meter , you're not showing what byou set it at or if the dryer is plugged in.
