Got a no start dryer the other day. Belt was broken and it was the dirtiest dryer ever. I got a lot of satisfaction because I used parts I had salvaged off other scrapped machines: belt, door handle and lint screen! Just a reminder to try to save good parts off bad machines to save you $$$ on repairs and restorations!
Great video! My lint issue was so bad lint got into the heating element and burnt up! Half of it was chared. I had to take apart the entire machine to get to it clean it out along with cleaning everything mention here. I'm guessing lint is never supposed to be in there. I tested the heating element and it tests fine nothing broken, hopefully it's ok to put back in. So if you have a burning smell turn it off check your heating element. Could have had a big fire I guess Lucky not.
The floor dolly with the lifter on it came from Harbor freight as well. They have two versions a light version and a heavy duty version I believe they’re like $200 and $300
Okay scenario for you.. I currently have a GE dryer that says to use a 120/208 or 120/240 power cord. The outlet we have is a 4 prong 125/250v 30A outlet. I watched (&commented) on your replacing 3 prong cord to 4 prong cord. We did everything you did. The dryer turns on, runs fine. But after just 5 minutes of running the dryer, it’s extremely hot in the back of the dryer. Is this an electrical thing? Or a dryer problem? I’m afraid that the 125/250v versus what the machine reads (120/208 or 240) is the issue because the dryer is practically brand new (2 years old). Please advise. Thank you..
I’m actually going to be making a dryer overheating all problems video send. My guess would be it has a lack of airflow. If it’s a new dryer it’s probably the pipe going from the back of the dryer to the outside of the house is bent or stopped up.
Any brand of dryer that has the filter coming out the top the grooves will go towards the drum. Most dryers are this way there’s a few older ones that I’ve run into that are reversed.
Great video! Followed everything here on how to clean it. The the foam seals just fall off. Where can I get those foam seals? Can you send the link for those. I need to replace both upper and blower. Thanks.
Have you heard it heard of the heater relay getting stuck on and it heats all the time on high which eventually takes out the fuse link just wanted to tell you you're missing the whole boat you're not giving the whole story up yes we have different limits but that is also a problem which is it is up in the control panel on top?
My dryer was smelling like burnt hair. Looked at your video, saved it, then looked at it again. Went right to work and found my lint chute filled with lint. Did a thorough cleaning of the chute and the back of the dryer, hooked everything back up - wife is happy, no more smell. However, both the seals (lint screen housing foam seal, dryer blower housing foam seal) were compromised and ordered seals via your referral link. I use RUclips to give me an idea on how to fix things around the house. I usually look at a number of videos depending on the complexity of the DIY project so I know a great presentation when I see one. Thank you for your video and for taking the time to make things so clear.
Thank you for taking the time to write this comment. Glad to hear you got it going again. Those seals don’t last forever. It’s a good idea to replace them before they get too bad.
I sold my first pair for 400 last week. The customer did not pay only after they tried it out. So every bit of video that help us build confidence in cleaning diagnosing and repairing, will always be liked and subscribed to. Thanks much
That’s awesome you’re already making money. Keep me up-to-date let me know how your well you do over the next month. It’s crazy how much money there is to be made in the appliance resell business.
Sometimes I wish appliance manufacturers would look back at designs they once had many years ago since older dryers don’t seem to nearly accumulate as much lint as the newer dryers do. For example, the Maytag Halo Of Heat dryers made from 1957 to 1975 had a single piece drum that didn’t have a stationary bulkhead front or back that lint or coins could slip past the drum, used a belt and pulley for the drum drive which used v-belts that took decades to wear out, last but not least had a blower wheel with 8 blades on it that didn’t allow any lint build up at all.
I have a question. If you drain the water out of a washers drain pump is it ok to leave it out in freezing temperatures. Will it damage the washer? Great videos by the way!
I live in the south. It Barely ever gets below freezing but I would think if there’s no water in the water pump it is probably going to be OK. The water pump is usually the lowest point on a washer machine.
Best intro ever! And a great video!
Lol thanks.
Agreed loved the intro
Awesome sauce❤
I don't fix em .... but I get like 20 of these a week. Now I can fix em. No more selling for $40 bucks or scraping.
The video rocked
Thanks

HI ,Love the Video !!! where can i get one of those Dollies ? Thanks Again !!
If it’s the blue dolly it came from Harbor freight. I think they’re like $60-$80 depending on what deal they’re running.
The floor dolly with the lifter on it came from Harbor freight as well. They have two versions a light version and a heavy duty version I believe they’re like $200 and $300

@@WasherDryerMoney okay! I want to take the dryer apart and clean it as well. But I’m ready to watch that up coming video when you post. Thanks much.
It’s always a good idea to clean out a dryer. The lint buildup in the fan housing is very dangerous and makes a dryer take forever to dry.
How do you know if the belt goes grooves up or not depending of models?
Any brand of dryer that has the filter coming out the top the grooves will go towards the drum.
Most dryers are this way there’s a few older ones that I’ve run into that are reversed.
For maintenance what are the intervals for this ?
Hi. Do you have a video for HE electric dryers with overheating and not drying completely? Didn't see one.
Great video! Followed everything here on how to clean it. The the foam seals just fall off. Where can I get those foam seals? Can you send the link for those. I need to replace both upper and blower. Thanks.

Welp I had a Dryer problem and knew right where to look!! Thanks for the help:)
Your videos are 1st class. You really do a great job.
Thanks I appreciate it.
love the intro mate and you are making such a detailed explanation on it
Glad you liked it. Thanks for commenting

Thanks for this. With your help, I did the first full clean out today of my 5 year old dryer since purchase. And now I know how to do it.
I have a question. If you drain the water out of a washers drain pump is it ok to leave it out in freezing temperatures. Will it damage the washer? Great videos by the way!

I would have like to know that site last week as i cleaned my admiral dryer! But it was easy, i'm gonna watch your videos, so i can do my own repair!
Cool
Excellent production value and editing! Awesome, very informative vid!
Thanks I appreciate it.
Great start off made me giggle lol🤣🤣🤣
