I followed your tutorial and got my dryer working again. I did take a picture of my part in case I need to buy a new one. Thanks for all your help, much appreciated I had to smack it on the ground a couple of times but I got it to work
Dude..! You SAVED. me..! That hack about smacking the Thermal Cut-Off on the ground a few times.... That's exactly what I needed, cuz my local appliance parts place is closed on the weekends, so I tried that hack, and it worked..! Clothes are drying. Yay. I actually removed the entire heating element (2 small screws in front), which allowed me easier access to the Cut-Off and it also allowed me to clean the element, and everything else out under there. It was insanely covered in lint - EVERYWHERE..! Anyway... Thank You for uploading this. It helped a lot.! (3 years later after uploading) - Gotta love RUclips University, thanks to guys like you.
Thank you so much. I was about to buy a new dryer and Google brought me to your video. As a 73 yr old female, accessing and removing the element connector wasn't easy but I succeeded. Spent $16 in stead of $1300. Yippee! (I couldn't figure out how to use the tester, so I didn't test for continuity, I just removed and replaced it.
Thanks for the video. Getting to the thermal cut-off proved more difficult than imagined... for someone sitting trying to reach it. Once you lay down... and look upward. EASY! the top notch actually goes into a tiny hole, and not the opening like it's trying to hold it in place. Once in the hole, I was able to tighten up bottom screw. Until amazon part gets to house, i banged the cut-off switch, saw resistance. 😀
First, thank you I ordered the parts kit from Amazon, installed the Thermal Cut-off, and it worked. BUT now a week later and this new thermal cut-off is now broken... Do you have any suggestions? Is it just bad luck with the new part or something else?
Thank you 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾. Thank you thank you 😊😊😊. Big family and we need to pinch every penny right now. Everyone in the house 7 of us says thank you and blessings to you and yours 🙏🏾🙏🏾..
Thanks so much for this video! I ordered the parts on Amazon and changed out everything today and the heat is back! Now I do have a question. I never looked behind the dryer when it’s on but I did today and I could see an orange glow coming from the bottom of the dryer where the heat element is located. That glow I’m seeing is okay right? While I was at I bought a vent cleaning kit and cleaned that out! In the 18 years I lived in my house I never cleaned it out and I couldn’t believe how much lint I was able to clear out of dryer vent duct!
Thank you for this video it helped out alot I had to smack it against the floor and reset it just because my local appliance store isn't open today because of Christmas hopefully they open tomorrow. I just have a couple of questions when I was reconnecting the black wire I sort of bent the end of the wire that connects to the thermal cutoff. Can that wire be replaced? If so I just remove it from the thermostat and thermal cutoff and put the new one in right? Does the position of where black and red wires go?
Thanks for the video! Waiting for thermal cut-off to be shipped. Just a quick question. Do I need to remove a wire to check continuity on heating element? Thanks again and have a nice day!
You show 2 different dryer models. White one at Intro, black one being repaired. Is the process the same? Is the kit the same? I have the dryer at the intro.
Help ! Im trying to order the complete kit with coils but I can’t find model # for my dryer. It is same as white one you showed at beginning of video. If you could help pls and ty in advance !
@johnnyoneniner4820 I never did figure out why mine was wired that way. I discovered that my heating element was burnt up so just replaced it and it's been working fine. I can't remember how I diagnosed the element, but look for a burnt through wire. Of course, it will show infinity on the ohm meter signifying an open. If you can see voltage at the element terminals with nothing happening that would also be a good sign. Since I don't know if they were made this way or if techs were bypassing things it may not be super safe to go to bed, or leave the house, with it running. I'm not worried but something to consider.

Glad it helped, it’s important to clean out the vent tube behind the dryer.

Nice job, also good to really clean out the dryer vent tube👍

I bet the dryer vent tube or where it exits the house is full of lint.

You did great Chuck, and that glow is normal 👍
@@QuickAndEasy5MinuteAppliance awesome thanks so much!! You saved me some money from hiring someone else to do the work lol.
Thanks for the diagram! When I was testing continuity, the heating element connector was the only part that didn’t have continuity.
Thanks Amy,
Sounds like a bad element 👍

You should remove one of the wires for the check👍
Amazing! Was able to get my parents dryer to work again!
Thanks so much Lena❤️😊👍
Hello! I replaced the thermal cut-off, but the dryer still isn't heating up. Any suggestions? Thanks so much! :)
I wonder if the element has failed?
@@QuickAndEasy5MinuteAppliance is that something I could check myself? Thanks! :)

It’s the same dryer, just different colors 👍
Help ! Im trying to order the complete kit with coils but I can’t find model # for my dryer. It is same as white one you showed at beginning of video. If you could help pls and ty in advance !
Can you send your question to: scottthefixitguy@yahoo.com
If we changed out both the thermal and fuse but still no heat could it be the coils?
Can you send that question to my email at:
Scottthefixitguy@yahoo.com
I tested all of the fuses and connection to the heating element but it still does heat.
What next??
Any thoughts?
Can you double check that both breakers for the dryer are fully on?
I have this exact Dryer and am just getting a buzzing sound but no
Spin or heating occurring. Any chance you have idea what this can be?

My Kenmore 90 series has the 3 components like yours, but the one in the far back (thermal cut off I presume) doesn't have any wires connected to it?
Can you send me a picture of that? Scottthefixitguy@yahoo.com
I have 90 series as well. Same question. Has anyone responded?

Thanks for helping me fix my dryer and saving money for not calling the repair guy lol
That’s what I love to hear. Nicely done 😊
Needs thermal fuse or u can just slam it on a hard surface
And pull out all lint too
Where is the replacement part which was mentioned

When the video started you showed one model Dryer and then as you started working on the Dryer it was a different model. Very frustrating....
Which one do you have?
I have the 90 shown at intro
