My dryer stopped working and as a single mom, my heart dropped. Figured out it was the leg of the switch that snapped. Found the part online, which was inexpensive, followed your video and was done in less than 10min. Back up and running again. Thanks!
I paid a Kenmore repairman more than $200 to do this. After watching the video, and buying the $10 part, I did it myself, for free. Thank you!
Thank you! I purchased my first home and every month, something requires repair. I'm a single mom on a budget, so eliminating service techs has saved me a small fortune! The part was $10. It arrived overnight from Amazon With your video, it took me less than 10 minutes to replace it. Thanks a million times
I was so discouraged a few days ago when our dryer suddenly stopped working. A few diagnostic videos later and we found the problem. Ordered the part (and a multimeter since that would've been useful in diagnosing the problem) and received it yesterday. While my husband's been at work, I've been procrastinating attempting to fix it on my own, but this video was so straightforward and helpful!
I got it fixed SO fast, I shrieked when it worked I was so happy. Thank you for your help 😊❤
You saved us hundreds of dollars, i am not a handyman but i dont have hundreds of dollars to spet on repair, my wife always will say lets get a new one instead n thats even more. So i followed your steps and it was so easy!
Cost me $12 to fix it (parts from Amazon) and now its up and running. Truly thank you for your help
THANK YOU. You made me look like a superhero at my grandma's house. keep up the good work.😃
I'm an old girl and a handyman offered to "fix" my dryer for $125. I remember my brother-in-law making comments about dryers being simple machines. So I watched your video, ordered the part (paid a lot more cause I ordered from Sears) and with the help of my son's muscle, we fixed it ourselves. Saved $100 - THANKS!!
A huge thank you for your help. I can't thank you enough. I know you saved me tons of money. My bf looked at me as if I were crazy for even attempting to try to fix the dryer myself. He called me crazy for not calling a service tech. The part cost me approximately $17 and I fixed it all by myself. Big Hugs!
Thank you for this clear & easy to follow video. I have never worked on an appliance in my life & just replaced my door switch assembly. Spent $22 on the part. What a relief my dryer is working again!!! The world is better because of you.
Thank you Mr Steve. We had an appliance electrician look at it and he wanted $200, I refused and used your video and it was done for $15 parts and my own labor $0, priceless to see the wife happy. Your videos fix relationships not just appliances.
Same here!
Shyam Gajavelli seriously 5 dollar part and 5 mins of my time and it was done !!!
@@ItsDhizy Where's you get the part for 5 bucks??? The appliance parts shop here wants 21 bucks!!!!
Cat Jefferson amazon bro
@@ItsDhizy Where did you find the part for a measly 5 bucks?? Just today we repaired ours and the drier door switch cost us 21 bucks plus tax!
Your simple how-to videos are so helpful for this single gal who can do these fixes herself; but, just need these helpful videos to walk me through it step-by-step. THANK YOU!!!
Thank you so much for posting this vid. We recently noticed that our dryer would continue to spin even with the door open. Then on Sunday it stopped working all together. Came across your channel and showed my husband. We went and got another door switch, installed and were good to go. It only cost us $25 were as Sears would have charged us more. Thanks again and you have a new subscriber for life.
I followed your step and it went all well. It costed me $7 to fix it. I felt so good for having fixed what would have costed me hundreds of dollars. All I can say is THANK YOU infinitely.
Our dryer wouldn't start. My wife pushed the start button inside the door and it went up and disappeared. I had no idea what to do or to recover it. I opened up the dryer top with with help from your video unscrewed the switch, which, turns out, had literally come apart (my wife is that strong). The glue had come apart and the black switch lever had fallen into the bowels of the machine. Thanks to your video I was able to locate the missing piece and put it back. I used rubber bands to keep the split switch together, and put everything back and lo, worked a treat. After receiving lots of conjugal abuse ("Will you try to fix the drier? Yep. Ah, you'll just sit ****kin' there, and this will never get fixed!"), the trouble and strife was incredibly delighted to have the drier fixed again. Ah. What price conjugal bliss. Thanks for the help. That was a life-saver, or at least an ear-saver!
Part cost me just $6 on Amazon. Followed your excellent instructions and had the dryer up and running in under 15 minutes. Thank you so much. This is why Gore invented the internet! lol
Thank you so much for this! I was quoted $109 plus parts and labor for the repair. I spent $8 to get the part from Amazon and instead of a putty knife, I used a butter knife. I own my own home and I live alone so I rely on helpful videos like this to get by.
November 2022; I used your detailed step-by-step video to repair my door switch. I was so excited and proud of myself - but more so - very grateful for your excellent video that took the fear out of attempting this repair! I ordered my replacement switch from Amazon for a little under $8 and provided the free labor. What a savings!
Perfect instructions! Changed the dryer door switch out in less than 20 minutes, including sweeping all of the lint out from behind the dryer and thoroughly cleaning the outside of the entire dryer. Total cost: $11.23 for the Whirlpool door switch. Thank you very much!
THANK YOU! This video made the repair a breeze and was super easy for a novice like me. Following along this took around 8-10 minutes. Hardest part was popping the clips open on the top of the dryer. Very much appreciated this content!
Thank you Steve! I ordered the part, replaced it myself (with your wonderful directions) and cant wait til my husband gets home so I can show him the properly working dryer.
Thanks to you…You saved me HUNDREDS of dollars! The part was only about $7,as opposed to me having to pay a technician for a diagnostic,and parts and labor which would’ve EASILY cost me at LEAST $200! THANK YOU!!!
I am yelling THANK YOU for this video. YOU have saved my family hundreds of dollars. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
Almost rebuilt my whole dryer thanks to your videos!
Nice work!
Thank you - this repair was so easy to follow and saved this school teacher a significant chunk of change! I am very grateful!
A few years back I used another one of your videos to replace my washer lid switch. Now this job looks even easier. Thank you, Steve.
Thank you for the great video! The part cost $5 and we had it fixed in 10 minutes. Very clear and thorough instructions!
You're very welcome! Thanks for the feedback here, and good luck with your repair! Cheers.
Thanx for the video I got the switch on Amazon in one day and it took me ten minutes to fix my dryer. I appreciate your help just saved $150 on a technician
That's wonderful! We love inspiring families to get together for DIY repair - especially involving their kids, as it's so beneficial for them in many ways. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. :)
yes
Old comment but even 10 years after he post this and 8 years after your comment, it's still helping.

PartSelect:: that left top hold-down did not want to release…..I thought I would need my SLIM~JIM ! Also just hoping the part that arrives has the “backing plate” that receives the long mounting screws or I will have to retrieve this part from the bottom of the chassis where you said not to drop it…lol…I did!
Hope you are living a great life and thanks for the instructions.
Thank you so much for sharing. I replaced my door switch, and dryer is running perfectly. You just saved me about $150.
Thank you! Our Kenmore dryer would not stop running when we opened the door. After time, it completely stopped working. I couldn't see paying a fortune in repairs, especially if it was a major problem (i.e., drum, motor) . However, after a little research and viewing the video, the switch was the problem. Bless you!!!
Awesome! I got the part for $6 on EBay, followed this video, and now my dryer is working again! I'm so happy. This saved me lots of money.
YOU'RE AWESOME!!! I thought my dryer was done for but a 3min RUclips search led me to your vid. it's working fine now and I owe all the thanks to you. thank you so much and have a blessed day!
You're welcome for the help! Glad the dryer is working again.
Just received my switch and we are up and running again, Thank you partselect !!
Sure wish I would've found this video and link to the correct switch before wasting $32.00 on a ugly universal switch with a huge metal actuator that didn't work. (from sear parts direct)
I do a lot of my own repairs and will be subscribing to you. Getting the right parts the first time sure makes the jobs faster not to mention safer and easier. Thanks again !!
I ordered this part off Amazon and fixed my dryer in about 15 minutes!! It’s working better than before.
I’m about to try this because the guy I bought the dryer from wants me to pay him $89 to do it!!!!
Barbara Dell I hope it works!!
Curious much was the part?
Simply Me it was under $10.00 on Amazon
@@JessicaLanear thx
As a retired single woman on a fixed income, I can't afford to make service calls for every little thing. I ordered the part and used your video and I am up and running. Wioohoo! Thanks!
You made this grandma look like a professional repairman! Thank you!
Great video! Thank you for taking it step by step . I ordered a switch on line for just shy of $7. The appliance place wanted almost $40 to order it.
I'm getting ready to replace my switch. Thanks for the heads up on the cost.
We love you :) it worked exactly as you suggested. We did change the order and removed the screws holding the switch in place before we disengaged the wire harness and the same when putting it back on, we engaged the wire harness first before screwing the switch in place. This way we didn't have to worry about making sure the part didn't fall inside. Thanks so much!!!!
Done beautifully in a well-executed manner, concise, precise and through. Thank you.
Thank you Steve. I made this repair tonight and it worked like a charm. The only hold up was the rusty screws at the lint trap.
Thank you! Saved me a lot of money with your step by step tutorial. It took me 5 minutes to replace the part and test the dryer. Works just fine.
EXCELLENT LANDSCAPE VIDEO AND CAMEROGRAPHY WITH NO LOUD ANNOYING BACKGROUND MUSIC/NOISE.
Thank you! You just saved me from buying anew dryer. Saved about $600. Thanks again.
Thank you very much for the video. Our switch broke and we are very close to Christmas, as a young dad I was able to get the part off another broke dryer in the garage and fix so the wife can do clothes and we won't have to shell out our money for a new appliance!! Thanks again!
i don't know how much money this video just saved me, but more than i wanted to spend on a handyman during the holidays. Thank you very much!
10 years later this helped me fix the dryer at my business amazing
Excellent video. Thank you so much. My 20 y/o dryer is working like a charm.
I bought the part for $6 and did the repair in less than 5 minutes thanks to this video. Thank you!
Where did you buy this part at. ?? Mine is bad and I having a hard time finding it
I followed your directions and everything went perfect. I had to order part Whirlpool 3406107 Dryer Door Switch Replacement from amazon for $7. Saved me lots of $$$. Thank you again
Glad to hear it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Thanks Steve. This is exactly what I needed to do on my dryer. Why anyone would give a thumbs down on this video is beyond me.
It's was probably a bunch of repair guys who lost out on the repair!!!
I’m coming here before I call another repair guy. I replaced the power switch but it was the door switch that was broken 🤦🏽♀️ I paid $75 for something that costs $5 and labor that was less than 5 minutes. Thank you for these videos
Ordered the part and followed the steps in the video and my dryer is perfectly working.
Man, here I was about to start looking for someone to fix the dryer. The thermal fuse and door switch. Now I don't have to call anyone because I can fix it myself. Thanks for such a helpful video!
Wow. Same dryer. I called in model number to order the part and it is in fact the number you listed. My son helped me install it and i saved myself 600.00 dollars or more. When the one appliance dies i will buy twin set. These appliances were here when i moved in. Nonetheless, I have saved myself some money for the moment!. Thanks.
Would not have been able to repair my dryer without this tutorial. Thank you parts select for the part and easy instructions
Thanks for the easy to follow video and commentary! It was a great project for me and my 5 year old son to work on (he really enjoys watching your videos too)!
Steve, thanks for the video and how to change/install a new one. That was the problem with mine and after about $22 for the part and 15-20 min later our dryer is working again.
Thank you so much. I convinced my parents to let me try this out and prevented them from buying a new one. It’s not mentioned in the video but use a flathead screwdriver to pry apart the harnesses.
Thank you. Our kid recently broke the censor and without this video, I would be out a lot of money. So again, thank you.
Your video was so simple to understand and follow I did it myself! Now my dryer works.
Great video… your trick of tipping the dryer forward as I slid the putty knife into the opening was all that I needed. THANK YOU! Works like a champ now!
Thank you so much! I bought the part for $7 on amazon and fixed it with my mom and little brother :)
Thank you for your clear and easy to follow explanation on how to do this repair. You are my hero.
We ordered the part from Amazon and my 15 year old son fixed my dryer!!! Thanks y’all
Thanks Steve! I just repaired my dryer thanks to this video and now it works like a charm.
Ordered off Amazon! Fixed in 5 min! Your God sent!
Thanks!
Great directions and demonstration. 17 dollar part and the dryer is back in business.
This video is still gold! Thanks for the assist!
Perfect instructions. I just saved myself hundreds for someone to come out to fix it or a couple thousand for a new washer/dryer set. Thank you.
I save over a hundred dollars thanks to your video. I ordered the part on Amazon and fixed myself following your video.
Much appreciated!
very helpful. Good visualization of what you were doing. Plus handy demostrations of tips the pros know but ,as amateurs, we don't. Thanks
Thanks so much! Everything went as you showed us. The hardest part was getting the top off, and when I re-watched the video I saw the pull on the back part that I had not noticed before and all went well. Saved me a lot of money. Much appreciated!
Your very welcome Alexander :) Have a great day :) :)
Thanks dude you helped save my hide in these hard times! Happy I didn’t need to get a whole new dryer for a simple fix
This video was tremendously helpful especially at 2:14 since the switch is difficult to remove from the wire harness.
Thank you. You saved me time, money and a headache. You've helped me out before with my washer. I appreciate your channel.
Thank you so much for your detailed video! I was able to fix my dryer for 6 bucks without asking anyone else for help🙏👍🤗
Had my switch switched out in less than five mins and only 6$ on amazon Thanks, Used a flat head screw driver for the clips and a Philips head for the 4 screws
I ordered this part from PartSelect and now have a working dryer switch! The hardest part was disconnecting the old switch, the connector was in there really well. Second hardest part was lining up the screws to hold the new one in place. But it only took about twenty minutes (with interruptions to find a putty knife).
Thank you for this video. I did as so many others have done. Watched the video, ordered the part, fixed the problem. If I have one tiny cavil, where you separate the loom socket from the switch plug it is a long way from the camera and difficult to see exactly where the lock is.
Great video, I will be doing this when the $7 part arrives to my home in 2 days. Modern living is good.
Sounds great!
Thank you for such a through and step by step video! I was able to do this today and fix my dryer because of it!
Thanks for the video. I took my switch out , planning on replacing it, and cleaned it with some electronic cleaner which seemed to fix the issue. Thanks again, your video made the job easy!
Thank you this saved me a service call! part was 20 bucks easy to do!
Going to order part, follow your directions and save ourselves a bunch of money.! Thank you so much for the easy to follow directions!
Outstanding video. Short, simple and easy to follow. Kudos.
Awesome instruction video! I just cancelled the service call that was going to cost me $139 and ordered the part for $7 on Amazon. Thanks!
Thank you so much! I did something and it actually worked. A $15.00 part and everything works fine.
Thank you!! Mr.steve your instructions help me out to replace the switch to my whiripool dryer. You are amazing. 👍👍👍
This lady appreciates your video. Thanks a bunch.
Video was very helpful. Only issue we had was when trying to reinstall the screws through the lid and the filter chute. Finally figured out the chute had moved backward just enough that one screw hole wouldn't align. Took a small jeweler's screwdriver through the other hole that lined up and pulled on that until the other hole lined up. Also used the same screwdriver to unsnap the wiring harness. Couldn't manage to do it with the putty knife. Saved big bucks DIO (doing it ourselves)!
Thanks, these guides make DIY fixes trivial.
Thank you so much. Had no idea where to start. You saved me so much money and time.
Good video, especially helpful was the part pulling on the back, so the front latches popped better! Thanks!
Thank you! My door switch was bad. I ordered it on Amazon for $9 and fixed it!
I feel great that I was able to do this! Thank you so much!
Thanks! It took just a few minutes to do and saved me lots of money.
phenomenal video. helpful, easy to follow, encouraging, straight to the point. THANK YOU!!!!
Thank you, I saved money doing this repair after watching your video.
This was incredibly helpful! Thank you very much!
