Wife notified me that dryer is broken. She smiled because we had this dryer 10+ years, and she went online looking for new one. I got an E1 and F6 error. Got the same click sound. After a few hours of troubleshooting, I found this video. Same burn in the same area. Soldered jumper wire. FIXED!! Shopping postponed again... LOL!!!
Yeah man, I knew you could fix it :)
Thank you so much, Joe! Great video and explanation of how it all works. You saved me $600 that I didn't want to spend on a new dryer and you gave me a new hobby! I had a blast soldering for the first time. Really fun! Now I just need more stuff solder...😅 Keep up the people's work!
Thank you TrickyDOTcom for letting us know, I knew you could fix it :)
I just had my dryer crap out and I followed this video and IT WORKED!! I cannot thank you enough!! I’m just a young single homeowner and you made me feel empowered that I can fix things myself (sometimes haha). Thanks a million!!!
Kristen you can fix a lot of the things in your house yourself, don't let anybody tell you you can't.... glad to hear you got it going, now don't you have some wet clothes to dry???!!!!????
Sir you just made my Christmas! I was so bummed to replace this dryer and dragged my feet all day until stumbling across your vid. Once I got to the circuit board and saw mine looked exactly like yours , I started getting excited. It felt amazing when I put it back together and it started right up! You seriously made my month, I've always considered myself a tinkerer but shared away from electronic issues. Not only did you save me alot of money, but you have me a huge sense of accomplishment. Thanks for the great video
You did all the work man, I just showed you where to look :) Glad you got it going, it's cool to see people save a little cash and the hassle of swapping the thing out of the house! Merry Christmas!
I love fixing things around my house. I have fixed all our appliances for years now. I love seeing videos like this from you.
Thanks man, we appreciate it as always!
This tutorial is fantastic! I figured that I’d give it a shot since the worse that could happen is damaging the board and having to replace it anyway. To my delight, the fix worked like a charm and the dryer is running while we speak. Thank you so much for posting this, Joe! You saved me money and had me beaming with pride over fixing my own dryer, YAY!!!
I knew you could do it Kaolyn! Good job, thanks for watching and letting us know... .
Thank you so much man! Bought a dryer off Facebook marketplace and immediately had the F1 issue. Exact same spot burnt up. Fixed with just some solder. Appreciate your video man.
Great video! My Whirlpool Duet dryer, circa 2009 crapped out today with the dreaded F01 error. After trying to unplug, then re-plug the dryer from the wall to reset it, I tried your fix. It took about an hour, and honestly the hardest part was emptying the wet clothes out the dryer, disconnecting the electricity, gas, and exhaust connections, and with my husband, wrestling it down from above the washer where it was stacked in a closet. It was also a teaching moment for my teenager on how to solder PCBs correctly, as she still melts the solder on the iron and drips it on her connections (bad!). As I type, I can hear my dryer happily tumbling our clothes dry. This fix was so much faster and cheaper than calling out a repair person, or buying a new dryer. Thanks!👍
Very well done Cheryl, I knew you folks could do it :) May she spin for many years to come :)
I came home to the news that our dryer stopped working. Along with the news, my wife referred me to this video. After watching once, I tackled the job exactly as the video instructed. I would have had no clue how to fix the dryer without this video. It was simple, and FREE! Thank you.
Joseph, I knew you could do it! You got a good woman there, she's keeping you straight and even found the instructions for you :) Now go dry some clothes man!!!!
You’re a genius! I was just waiting for a call back from a repairman when I thought I better try Utube. Went all over the Whirlpool website and got nowhere. I did exactly what you said in the video and hallelujah it worked. Thank you
I'm not a genius Joseph, you're the hard workin' man that made it happen, I knew you could do it :) Now don't you have some clothes to dry???!!!!?????
Lol.. Yes and for a couple more years too
Joe I have a question. So once I fixed my dryer I noticed that it takes more than one cycle to dry a load of clothes. It’s always dried on the first cycle. Do you think it had to do with that relay that had burned?
Thank you so much!!!! I found this video and showed my son! He followed your advice and it worked!!!! Financially it was such a blessing. So good to know in case it happens again!!!!❤❤❤❤
I’m glad you got it going!
I did the same exact thing and fixed my dryer! Thank you so much for putting this video together!!
You're welcome Dan, I knew you could do it :) Good job man, now... don't you have some clothes to dry?????
Thank you! Went to Harbor freight and spent $10 for the cheapest solder iron and solder. I did it. May not be the prettiest thing, but now my dryer works.
I knew you could fix it Barbara!
Not only did I learn about my dryer by watching your video, I learned more about printed circuit boards than I ever had before! Thanks!
Nice! Thanks! My dryer quit and had the trouble code. I found your video on a search of RUclips and watched it. Took the dryer apart and exact same thing. I might add that I had the smell of burnt electrical pieces also. Saved me from buying a new machine as this one is 15 years old.
Thanks Joe!! This saved me $$$. Thought I needed a new board. Very clear explanation. I just cleaned up the connection post, and scraped a little more green off the trace. Then added a good drop of solder to make a good connection. BINGO!!
Very thankful!!
February 2022 - this repair STILL WORKS, saved me a cool $1K! I have 16 year old Duet, got the infamous F01 code and motor would not start. It took about 45 minutes to do this very same repair and get our dryer up and running again. Repair tech wanted upwards of $500 to come out, troubleshoot, and do a circuit board replacement (which is honestly just plug-and-play component). My post was not as blown out as the one in the video, but I still ran a wire on top to be sure I had a good connection. Even took it back apart after I ran it for a while to check for evidence of any new arcing. ALL GOOD. Just take a trip to the store and price the new ones ($$$), you’ll be willing to try this simple repair!
i have the same exact dryer and it took a crap with the F01 error code. Was told the mother board was fired and better off just buying a new machine instead of replacing board. Seen your video and thought i would give it a try. Why not ?? Easy as 1 2 3 and it fixed the problem. Cant thank you info. Saved me a TON of money !! You are a Godsend !!! Thanks again !!
I just did this and it works! I used a wire brush and alcohol with q-tips to clean it. I used a $5 soldering stick from harbor freight. I bent a paper clip and cut it to fit. Add solder to tip and soak the connection. Thank you!
Very cool Bill, I forgot Harbor Freight sells them i'm going to have to start sending people there. I knew you'd get it fixed :) Now go dry some clothes brother
You are the man! I fixed mine... did not use a wire, just pealed up the copper and added some solder. works like a charm. thanks.
Very nice! I knew you could do it Nico!
Thank you for your video. I never understood motherboards now I can fix any. I did exactly like you said. I wasn’t sure about the wire piece, so I just used an old wire from a plug stripped it and made a nice new contact. First time soldering but no issues. Took about a half hour from start to finish. It was very satisfying. Can’t thank you enough. Love AC/DC as well. Rock on. 60 year old Californian!
Very cool Jeff, when I was a kid I lived in Fresno right in the middle of the state. Glad you got it fixed, I knew you could do it!
Thank you for your informational video. The control board on amazon was 250 bucks. When i got into mine, it was exactly like yours. When i started it back up! Well you know… i wouldn’t be commenting if mine didn’t work lol. But it did. And you saved me 250 bucks!
I knew you could fix it!
I had the exact problem. My wife was disappointed that I have fixed the dryer because she wanted a new dryer with the dry clean feature. LOL !!! Thank you very much.
hahahaha that's awesome. Maybe you can sell your perfectly fine working one now and get her the one she wants :)
Holy Poop! Thank you so much! I thought this morning I would probably need to buy a new dryer given the cost and labour for parts. Took less than an hour to fix with your guidance! FYI... My board burnt on the bottom in exactly the same spot as yours. Super easy repair. Thank you again so much!
Joe, you are the MAN! I had my mindset that I had to replace my dryer. Then I stumbled upon your video. A million thanks to you. You saved me nearly $1k. Not only that, you boosted my confidence. And my husband is amazed at what I've done! He's bragging about me to all his friends. Lol!
I knew you could do it Heather. Now you gotta find something else to fix!
This video saved our family!!! In the middle of the night our dryer broke down with tons of urgent laundries to dry. I read some fixing tips and videos but they all recommended to get the new board. We didn't have time to order and wait until it comes. The problem was exactly same as you had and described. So it was easily done in 30 min and we were able to keep drying all the urgent laundries tonight. How can I thank you more. Thank you so much again. God bless you.
Thank you David, God Bless you and your family, I'm glad it got you fixed up.. I absolutely KNEW you could do it :)
Don't know how to express my thanks to you for doing this video. I had same exact problem and fixed it in under an hour. So happy and now hopefully will last for many years. Dont need to buy a new one. God bless you and your family. 🙏
This was my exact problem I get great joy out of fixing things but couldn’t have done it without your video! Thank you! I liked and subscribed! Keep on tinkering and sharing to help people!
Thanks Ethan, we appreciate you letting us know! Apparently this is happening to a LOT of these lately, glad you got yours fixed!
Couldn’t agree more man! Bought this dryer second hand, went down after a month, I fixed it in about 45 minutes- 18 was watching this video! Thanks man
Had the same problem. F01 problem. Watched this video, and less than 30 mins and my dryer was up and running again. Joe, you the Man!
Very cool, Barry glad you got it going again! I was hoping it would help somebody.
I'm another one. Dryer kicked out this morning, watched the video, did what you said, and now it's working. This kind of stuff is amazing when it works. Thank you so much!!
Don't thank me Jeffrey, you did it :)
My man! Wife came to me with this F01 code. I had just gone through this with my dishwasher control board... ended in a new dishwasher. The inside of my control board case looked exactly like yours. Soldered up a new beefy trace, threw on some conformal coating, reassembled and voila! Seems to me this should be a saftey recall with the amount of sparks that it was producing. Thanks so much for the video, saved the day.
I knew you could fix it man :) Think how many of these must be going bad, I get about 1 comment a day saying they fixed it with my video, and as you know probably 10 other people don't comment but have the same issue, or watched another video, or whatever. I honestly think hundreds of thousands of them are breaking.
Joe, Just wanted to tell you that my dryer (11 years old) stopped working this morning and I got the message FO 1. Had no idea what the problem was and had a washer full of wet clothes. I went To RUclips and your video was the first one I saw. My husband, (who I lovingly call MacGyver, because like you, he rather fix something that throw it out or buy new) and I watched your video. This evening we took our Whirlpool dryer apart, following your directions, and put it back together again. Right now my dryer is humming away! My husband says he may have a “man crush”on you! 😊. We fixed our dryer for free! Thanks so much for your video!
MacGyver’s Wife
Well hello there Mr. and Mrs. MacGyver, glad to hear you got it working! When I made this video I was hoping it would save somebody some cold dripping wet cash when their dryer died like mine did, and looks like it worked out, thank you for the kind words, I appreciate people letting me know it helped them!
Excellent advice, Joe. The board cleanup and solder/jumper did the trick. The disassembly/reassembly was exactly as shown. Saved me hundreds of $ in repair service call and parts.
I knew you could do it David :) Now go dry some clothes!
You rock dude. Dryer did this last night. Watched your video while at work and came home and did it in 2 hours. Worked like a charm. Thank you so much for your video!!!
I knew you could do it man....
10-22-23. I watched this video after getting the F=01 error code on my Whirlpool Duet electric dryer. Took the top of the dryer off, then the control board easily per the video. After removing the control board from its plastic casing, sure enough - there was the blackened areas of the casing and on the bottom of the control board - just like the video. I cleaned the board and did a horrible job of soldering. Put it all back together and got the same F-01 error code. Checked all the connections… still F-01 error. Took it back out of the dryer, and once again examined my horrible soldering job. I compared it to the video and could see I didn’t quite make the complete connection to the right point. I added a bit more solder, put it all back together and, voila- it works. Thank you for the great video! A10 Pilot
As many have already commented, I found I had the exact same issues after checking a few other things. Just wanted express my gratitude for your video. I understand electrical circuits quite well, but soldering isn’t something I have much practice/experience in. However, I still managed to fix it and our dryer is working again. Thank you, sir!
Well i'm glad you got it going, I knew you could pull it off :) Thank you for watching and letting us know!
I ran a load successfully this morning, and tried a second only to have this happen. I watched this video and checked mine, and it was exactly the same thing. I'm not the best at soldering, but I was able to do the trick. Thanks for creating this video!
Edit: I'm in Columbia too, so I'll try to come support y'all sometime when I'm up in your area next!
Thanks a ton Joe, for the clear instructions! I had the exact same problem with our dryer. I used a Dremel with a tiny wire brush to clean the lacquer off the damaged pcb track and to clean the relay contact post to accept new solder. Positioned the shopvac hose to extract any fragments while grinding. I added a thin piece of copper wire along the damaged track just like you did. I really like how the manufacturer placed the controller board in an easy to access location! I was able to do the repair without even moving the dryer.
Seeing your post, I got out my dremel with a brush to clean up the contacts before soldering. I had the exact same problem and Joe's fix worked for me too.
Count another Whirlpool saved because of this video. I followed this and just took 4 copper wires from a network cable, twisted them together and soldered it from one point to the other and it formed the bridge successfully! Thanks!
Very cool Alan, glad you were able to get it going again!
Alrigh, I have to say a huge thank you! Wife says hey dryer is not working, oh and it’s filled with all the baby clothes… it’s 1045 at night. I watch your video, fly to Walmart as I don’t have an iron here, buy it at 10:59 (they close at 11), my baby’s clothes are currently drying by 1130! You my friend save the day. Thanks for the vid!
I didn't do it man, you did it because you're such a good Dad. Keep kicking ass, and have a good weekend!
Thank you so much for your video. This was the exact problem with our dryer. We ordered the replacement part and had it installed in less than 30 minutes and saved alot of money.
Thank you for letting me know, that's cool you were able to get it back up and running again!
Joe, you are a genius! I had the same problem with my Whirlpool Duet Steam electric dryer just yesterday. F-01 error code. After removing the main control board, I found that the back of my board looked EXACTLY like the one you repaired. I soldered a jumper wire like you suggested and it worked perfectly the very first try. A new board costs $250 on Amazon. And basically, you fixed my dryer for FREE. I can't thank you enough!!!!!
Randall I didn't fix it, I wasn't even there! You fixed it, and I knew you could. Have a good weekend!
I will add my thanks to the rest of the comments. My dryer 15 year old electric dryer. Same issue, fixed now thanks to your video. At $240.00 per board you have saved a lot of people a lot of money.
glad to hear it, i'm happy it's back up and working! It's a shame to have one small part cause people to buy a whole new dryer, get some more use out of it :) thanks for waching, have a great day!
You won the internet today! Just fixed my dryer - burnt board and case looked exactly like yours. Little wire two drops of solder and it's running now. Thanks!!
Glad to hear it, thank you for letting me know it still works :)
Joe! I want to thank you for the step by step video. When I came home late from work my 12 year old son fixed the dryer by watching this video. Thanks. Keep up the good work
Very cool Carlos, I knew he could do it! Now go wash some clothes!
Perfect tutorial. Had exact same problem, quick fix...and money saved!!! Thank you Joe!
Thank you for letting us know Tonya! I knew you could fix it!!!
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to record this guide on how to fix it. With my luck I was extremely doubtful on this working for me but I had nothing to lose so I tried it and it worked! You saved me $500+ on a new dryer and saved me $200 on a new board for the old one. Thanks again!
Great job MJ. I knew you could do it! Merry Christmas man
Thank you so much! I had the F01 error yesterday, found this video, checked the board, had the exact same problem, and had it fixed in no time. I also cleaned out the lint with compressed air...tip if anyone does this, wear a mask as it gets messy.
Thanks for making this video! I had the same problem and now the wife is happy.
When mine quit working, I found your video...whne I pulled the board it looked EXACTLY like yours... did the same solder fix and was up and running within 20 minutes. Awesome!!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Our dryer whirlpool duet little different model than one in the video, however it had the same symptoms and the exactly the same damage on the control board. My husband was able to fix it and we avoided buying new dryer. It costed us 0$.
I knew you guys could fix it Aylya, enjoy your dry clothes!!!!
THANKS SO MUCH! - dryer died... google sent me here - I was a little nervous trying to solder, but this was the exact problem - works as good as new - THANKS so much for clear instructions and a fairly easy fix.
Your video was spot on!!! I followed your steps and the dryer works again! Thanks a million. I’m sure you saved me hundreds of dollars and days of waiting for a repairman. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Thank YOU John, you're the one who did all the work! I hope you get many more years out of that dryer. Now... don't you have some clothes to dry, hmmm????
Thanks!! With a house full of guests, our 14-year old Whirlpool Duet dryer threw error F-01. From Amazon a new board was a week away. The repair went exactly as you described. Your video saved the day!
I didn't do it, I wasn't even there! Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you! I haven’t soldered in over 20 years, but it works! I replaced the wheels and the belt and was not getting anywhere. I watched your video and in no time at all It was up and running.
Very cool Michael glad you got it going! This is happening to all of these, I'm now getting two or three people a week saying that they saw this video and fixed theirs! I'm glad it worked out for you, great job!
Thanks a ton! My wife and I picked up a washer dryer set someone was throwing away. The washer worked fine, but the dryer had this problem in addition to a broken heating element and idler pulley! Thanks to your video I was able to get it running!
Ditto! Exactly my problem as well. It had the tell-tale burnout. Easy to fix. Use a small soldering gun for slower heating. I first soldered a small dollop of solder wire on the terminals and on the wire as well. It makes it easier to attach the wire when shorthanded. Thanks Joe, you are a genius!
We just had a huge poweroutage that lasted several days, after which I discovered my dryer was throwing the F-01 error! You have helped me save a bundle! Mine was blown out in the exact same place and within 15min I was able to dry my clothes! Thank you!
That F-01 error, maybe that last little surge or whatever before the power went down fried the last little bit of connection it had left in it... glad you got it fixed, I knew you could do it!
This is the exact model I have, and you were 100% correct as to the issue of not starting, 15 minutes later the clothes are drying again. Thank you
Same issue on my dryer and your video saved the day. I resoldered the relay pin as you mentioned and works just fine now. Thanks again for your video.
Wait, what?!? You've been teaching me to diagnois pin ball machines, but today when I needed some how-to help on my dryer... you can do that too!!! Outstanding!! Thank you!
Wow this was too easy. I had the same exact problem. I had to run to Walmart for a $10.00 soldering iron and followed your instructions. It was the best feeling when she started right up. Thanks so much Joe
You know when I was making the video, I thought this will be really cool if it saves somebody some money and some trouble. Glad it worked out, mine is still running good 6 months or so later!
I happen to stumble on your you tube video while looking for a solution to the same issue. Got the electric dryer running using the instructions on this video. I was about to buy a replacement control board for about $500. Thanks a lot.
Thanks for letting me know Fufut Memec, great job on the repair :)
Just did what you suggested and saved a bunch of money. Thank you! Literally a 20 minute fix!
I knew you could do it Jamison!
Fixed it! Different dryer, same board,Xiamen problem. Easy fix, thank you.
I knew you could do it!
Thank you so much! I followed these steps and my dryer is running again.
Great video work and explanation along the way too.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!😊 I cannot believe that I was able to fix my dryer for the price of a soldering iron! Your instructions were spot on-- and turns out my circuit board had the exact same problem as yours. Thank you SO MUCH for your clear instructions. Saved me sooo much money and time-- really liked what you said about fixing stuff not just to save $ but because throwing out and replacing is not a sustainable way for us to live. God bless you!!!!
I just can't thank you enough!!!! Everything was exactly like in the picture.....your pace for the video was perfect....great explanation and now it all works...
You made me really happy
Very cool Mark, I knew you could do it! Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much Joe. Like others commenting, I had the same problem and was able to solder in a jumper. Worked like a charm and saved me $396 (current retail price for OEM part)! I could hear the relay engaging, so was pretty sure the relay was good. Others have replaced this after just trying to resolder the contact. The relay is on eBay for $6 plus $4 shipping if you need one. That was going to be my next step. Thanks again!
Outstanding tutorial, Joe! As an electrical engineer, I knew from your video exactly what had happened with the circuit, and it would make fixing mine easy, and that was accurate. Your descriptions were CLEAR, the fix was EASY, and it worked immediately after powering the unit back up. I re-watched the first 3 minutes, and the only suggestion I would make is to tell people to unplug the unit or turn off the circuit breaker before they start. (Standard safety protocol.) But your reasoning and your explanations were excellent, Joe. You would have made a really good engineer! Thanks for the video.
Thank you! That was exactly the problem we had. I found your video, showed my husband and when it worked, he laughed and said he was just going to buy a new board. Thanks for saving me some cash.
Very cool, glad it worked for you! I think a lot of these are starting to do this so a new board is probably a good idea! Thanks for watching.
absolutely brilliant!! Took me 30 minutes and what I thought was going to be a complete headache turned into a simple fix! Thank You
I knew you could do it Allen!
My wife called an appliance guy to come out - he charged $80 and told her the mother board was shot and needed replacing. $200+ for the part alone. I watched your video and went to Wal-Mart to get a $10 soldering kit. I just added solder to the burnt gap area (didn't have wire to connect like you had), but solder alone did the trick! I'm sure it will burn out again, no biggie because I'll just use the wire like you did above when I get some available. Such an easy fix thanks to your video, but you'd think it were a complicated fix. Thank you so much - you saved me a bunch of money and got my dryer running right away!!
I'm glad to hear it! Keep that soldering iron, you may run into other things like this too, most of the time when an appliance or an electronic device stops working it's something simple like this that can often be fixed with a soldering iron... since I usually work on pinball machines it's more in my wheelhouse than some people but if it's already broke there's no harm in taking it apart and seeing if you can find something you can fix on it :) Glad you got it working, it's a pretty good little dryer model.
@@LyonsArcade I am a woman and the same whirlpool dryer and itt stop workig last ight
Thank you. This was the exact same fix for my dryer. You saved me so much $$$, and I'm a hero to my wife.
Very cool David glad it worked!
Fixed my damn dryer with this procedure, many brownie points were won with the lady of the house. Many thanks!
Thank you! I just fixed my 2006 Duet dryer thanks to you! I didn’t add the extra wire, just cleaned up the same blown solder joint and re-soldered it. My dryer works again!
Very cool man! Glad to hear it got you going!!!!
My wife took our whole dryer apart to replace the drum a few weeks ago. She’s a beast! Lol.
Good on her! No reason a lady shouldn't be able to work on one.
Yeah takes care of a lot of this stuff since I’ve been overseas most of the last 9 years.
I agree whith u all Females can fix anything mechanical because they see it in a difrent way than men .😀👍👍
Thank you for your service! Also your wife’s sacrifice!
@@zachazlett Thanks for your service man!
Thanks pal! This worked like a charm. My wife said something is wrong with the dryer and I had it fixed in less than an hour. Same solder joint as in your machine. Thanks again!
I had the same symptoms with my Duet dryer, and found the exact same relay stud burnt off. You saved me hours of troubleshooting. Thanks for taking the time to post your video.
Hey! December 14th, 2020. Dryer gave me the 01 code. Took a look, sure enough the solder was gone & the current was arcing. Cleaned it up and re-soldered the spot and it works just fine now! Saved me 240$ US for he cost of a new board. Thanks a ton for this great video! Truly appreciated.
Thanks Peter, I'm glad you were able to fix it! When I made this video I hoped it would help somebody, i'm glad it got you going again!
I legit thought I was going to be going to buy a dryer tomorrow. This video saved me! I didn't go crazy with the connections like you did just cleaned it up and dropped some solder on it. Good as new now. I would buy you a nights worth of drinks if I could. THANK YOU!
had the same problem so I took the board off and saw the problem. got my soldering iron out and fixed it! runs good as new again! thanks for the help
I knew you could do it Cliff, glad you got it running again!
Joe your video just keeps on giving! You just helped me fix my dryer, and I looked like a hero to my wife! Thank YOU!!! (And grateful I kept my soldering iron from 1998 haha)
Thank you for this! This is exactly what was wrong with my dryer. I followed your instructions and it is working again!
Very cool Sean, I knew you could fix it :)
Oh my word! Thank you so much! Because I found this video, my husband was able to fix our dryer! You saved us a ton of money. Thank you so much!!!❤
Well Joe!! Cant thank you enough! I just did exactly what you laid out and BAM!! Hot Diggity Dog!! fixed! FREE!I think the key was scraping the green part of the board to expose more of the copper underneath it. Thanks again!
I knew you could do it Cody! Job well done brother, now... go dry some clothes!
I was doubtful it would work after the horrific looking soldering job I did but this fixed it. Awesome tutorial Joe!
My man, thank you so much for the tutorial! Was able to use a spare wire I had laying around from tinkering on my RC cars. Now the dryer is running like a top. You are a gentleman and a saint. 😎
This video saved me some big $$! 10 minute solder repair job that I did myself, back in business!! THANK YOU!
Thanks for this. I hadn’t ever done any soldering but I gave it a crack. Guess what-it worked like a charm! The connection that had become unsoldered was exactly the one in your video. I’m a hero thanks to you! Family can’t quite believe that it worked (or that I managed to do it).
Tell 'em you thought of it all your self, I won't mind :) Glad you got it working again!
Thank you for the video! Dryer is working again! Wouldn’t have been able to do it without your how to. Deeply appreciated.
Very cool Nicholas, glad you got it going! When I made this video I hoped it'd help somebody save some money!
Thanks Joe! Our Duet Sport washer stopped working. Visually checking the control board finally revealed a tiny, vertical inductor bobbin with one of the hair thin leads broken. Years of vibration was the cause. I very carefully unwound a few turns of wire, scraped the insulation off and re-soldered it to the control board. A spot of glue was used to attach the bobbin like should have been done originally. Fortunately, I had access to a lab microscope but a good magnifier would work well too. Our Carrier evaporator blower control board had a similar issue to the problem you just described and was repaired the same way.
Very cool Woody, I haven't seen that vibration damage yet but I can see where it would do that... thank you for watching and letting us know what went down!
THANK YOU, you just made my day, was about to order a new board hoping it would fix my problem when I found your video. My dryer is back up and working for FREE
You got it Eddie I knew you could fix it!
Thank you for saving me $$$ when my old whirlpool dryer gave up the ghost. Your explanation about the bad solder joint leading to spark erosion over the years was excellent.
Thank you soooo much for posting your video! I had paid for a repair by mail, but canceled the order after seeing your video.
I did exactly what you said to do, with the exception of using copper wire. I had some from the underground fence for my dogs.
Everything works, and I am thrilled!! Thank you again!! Whoop whoop!! 🙌🏼👏🏼🙌🏼
I knew you could do it Connie, we were counting on you :)
Happy Thanksgiving!!
Amazing. Just did the exact same thing and got the dryer running again. Saved me $400 and even better a dryer from the landfill. Thanks!!
Thank you Muthanna, I love hearing that it worked for people, glad you got it straightened out, I knew you could do it!
Thank you very much! I have the means and abilities to do this repair but i don't venture into repairing appliance control boards that often and without finding this video I probably wouldve had a tech in or replaced the board entirely, You saved me a ton and time and money!
Thanks so much Joe. You saved all of us some big bucks.
Your description was bang on for the repair. For once the repair was relatively an easy repair and was quick to do.
Cheers
I knew you could do it Daryl!
Saved! Thanks my man. Worked like charm and saved me about $300! (Side note: My dad owned Michigan Nickel Coin Amusement back in the 80s and 90s. I grew up surrounded by video games, claw machines, juke boxes and pinballs. My brother worked with him and could repair almost anything they had.) I didn't have that talent, but I guess I can solder a little!
You might have more of that talent than you think :) Thanks for letting me know, glad it got it fixed for you! When I made this video I hoped it would help somebody, I've had dozens of people tell me if fixed theirs so i'm very happy :)
