Jeffrey S Davis , CA January 15, 2018 Appliance: Model KENMORE DRYER Dryer would not shut off at end of any cycle I Replaced the power resistor. The old resistor had a small burnt spot and tested infinity for resistance.The terminals were too small so I had to make new connector. Any 5000 ohm ceramic filled resistor would have worked also.

Matthew P Leavenworth , KS March 08, 2017 Clothes dryer was no longer drying clothes and the automatic dry functions had stopped working Replaced the heater coils (one of which was broken) by removing the top, front, and drum to access the heater coils. The plate that the heater coils mount to must be removed from the dryer as well to do the job correctly. I found it easier to unscrew the sensors from the plate and leave the wiring connected. You might as well change the belt while you have the drum out. To fix the automatic dry function I replaced the timer resistor. Very easy to access and swap out.

Michael S Archbald , PA March 23, 2018 Appliance: General Electric Electric Dryer DX2300EE1WW Broken heating elements and a bad timer resistor Thank God for You Tube! That's where I found Appliance Parts Pros. And... That's twice that "theapplianceman" bailed me out with my electric dryer. Probably the best "how-to" videos around. This is the one I watched: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vG6RjciHNuc While watching his video, I was not aware that a heater element kit existed. Of course, I googled it, and wound up here. Purchased the kit, as well as the timer resistor. Had it in TWO days. And my dryer works great! I really don't need to explain the install because the video is all you'll need. I followed his instructions, to the letter, and had zero problems. I've had this dryer apart before, so the install was easy. Even if you're doing this for the first time, just follow along with the video, and be careful with the new coil. As long as you're paying attention, and don't force the coils into their positions, you should have no problems. Pay careful attention when stretching the coils, so as not to stretch them to far. That's probably the hardest part. New insulators come with the kit. I recommend using them, even if the existing ones look ok. They're easy to install. Once everything was in place... Wah-lahhhh. Works like new! And I saved over $100 by doing it myself! Trust me... this job was not tough, by any means. Read More...

David K Washington , PA January 18, 2023 Appliance: General Electric Electric Dryer DBXR463EB1WW The dryer timer did not advance and dryer would shut off before load was dry. Based on your recommedation, replaced the timer resistor. The only deviation from your video, at least I don't remember it was mentioned, I needed a torx screw driver to remove screws from the top of the control panel. My old Chrysler uses torx screws so I have a set of drivers. I was going to replace the timer, your repair video suggested replacing the resistor. The resistor is much less expensive and easy to install. So I replaced the resistor. If it did not work then I would replace the timer. As it turned out it was the resistor. The timer works great again. Dryer loads get dry without several restarts. You saved me a pile of money on the timer. My wife is happy with the dryer. She also likes the door light working again. Thank you. Your repair videos are terrific. Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers
