Thanks, DonnaLee -- I watched several related "how-to" videos, even by professional repair techs, and yours is by far the best: you really cut to the chase and make the instructions very clear for amateurs like myself. I replaced the fuse in my dryer last night and now it works!!! Thanks so much!!!
O.M.G.. You're definitely a blessing. May God continue to bless you as you bless others.. I searched and I found you and the fixxx...It was definitely the hidden fuse. You help my mom save plenty of money..
I find it impressive that you actually took the whole dryer apart in you search, and made it work. If I had to put it together again I would probably had done it wrong several times before succeeding, if at all. RESPECT!! 😆So thanks for pointing in the right direction.
Awesome tutorial. Clear, concise. Jumps right to it! No long preamble or tangents. Not if this is the problem but I’m gonna try it before I pull the whole dryer apart. 🙏🏼
Touching the fuse with hands will do nothing. They are not like halogen light bulbs. Touch them all you want. Key thing to check it fuse amp rating which will be noted on the fuse end. Make sure you get an equivalent rated one. Good job fixing your own stuff!
Thanks! But my problem was the idler wheel arm switch (also called the belt switch or interlock switch) it is down on the bottom of the side next to the motor; this switch is depressed by the arm that holds the wheel that puts tension on the belt. Turns out, it is frequently the reason why a dryer won’t start. The paper that shows the schematics is very helpful to show all the switches and fuses or thermistors that need to be tested. This schematic is supposed to stay with the dryer up behind the cover where the controls are.
Donna, I check the fuse it was burnt on one end of the fuse holder, it broke off that thing you push the red wire up on the jacket that holds the long fuse like yours, where can I get the fuse holder and the fuse too? Can you help me find out if the fuse holder has a pacific name for it?
Go back to the video and look in the description Box. The link to where you get the right size fuse is listed. This is the link for the fuse holder. Its the last and only one i can find.

Thanks I didn't know where the fuse was, I thought it was the start button, but when you touch the switch with the meter wands it shows numbers but goes down to 0.01 so if numbers show is that a bad switch or a good one?
Hi good morning I have a GE gas dryer the digital reading turns on but when I start the dryer the digital reading goes on a complete cycle but the drum does not turn on .I tried to the test mode but it would not go to test mode.
Thanks for watching my vidoe. Answer. 1st unplug the dryer. Wear rubber glove while you are removing fuse. 2nd get a flat-head screwdriver or a butter knife with a plastic/rubber handle. Any object that has a skinny tip to fit behind the fuse with a rubber handle. 3rd. You are going to slide/put that object behind the back of the fuse and slowly put pressure on each side of the fuse to pop it out of the space it's in. 4th. (Most Importantly) when you replace the new fuse, please use a rubber glove because u don't want you body to gound out the fuse (short out the fuse).

You’re great! Thank you, saved me $600++ 🙌🙌🙌
Thanks, I saw it on the schematic but didn’t know the location!!!
this was my exact problem, thank you. I checked continuity and verified it by bypassing the fuse and it started right away.
I'm happy to be of some help. Thanks communicating with me.
Awww! You Rock Donnalee!

Make sure to wear a lvl 3 haz-mat suit and wear minimum 25ml thick rubber gloves and eye protection before handling a fuse.

@@donnaleetellsall thank you so much. I appreciate your help. I'll let you know when I get it in and fixed.

Thanks for watching. When that happens it's a good switch.
@@donnaleetellsall thank you so much.
Your welcome
What if you only hear the tick tick tick? But still can’t turn on? The tech is coming tomorrow hopefully
Does the fuse just pop out or?
You have to take it out. It doesn't come out easy.
You solved it for my thanks!

Hello, I'm not familiar with Gas dryers. I am unable to help. ☹ I wish you the best of luck
Why did it blow though?
It blow because of a power surge. The fuse is there to protect the dryer from being damage from that power surge.
Thanks sweetheart !
You are very welcome
Thank you!
Your welcome
"The 2 indicator is that your hit the start button and it actually turns on"...classic
Thank you
Your welcome
Thanks for your help!
Thanks for watching. You are welcome
How do you remove the fuse?? You skipped that??
Thanks for watching my vidoe. Answer.
1st unplug the dryer. Wear rubber glove while you are removing fuse.
2nd get a flat-head screwdriver or a butter knife with a plastic/rubber handle. Any object that has a skinny tip to fit behind the fuse with a rubber handle.
3rd. You are going to slide/put that object behind the back of the fuse and slowly put pressure on each side of the fuse to pop it out of the space it's in.
4th. (Most Importantly) when you replace the new fuse, please use a rubber glove because u don't want you body to gound out the fuse (short out the fuse).
@@donnaleetellsall thanks for the response & tips! 😊
