Fix a dryer that won't heat with a new heating element. Common causes include broken coils or cracked ceramic. Moderate DIY repair with video guide.
Watched video. Took dryer apart to get to heating element and sensors. In process found alot of lint had escaped into inner dryer and had a thick coating over heating element. I cleaned out most lint and pulled apart lint trap on front and cleaned out as much accumulated lint as possible. I then removed the heating element (very simple, three screws in a support bracket) and found it was broke in one spot.(wire - element severed). I believe the heavy lint build up on elements caused lint to... Read more
Drives drum rotation for even drying. Replace if dryer won't spin, makes squealing sounds, or clothes stay wet. Confirm fit with your model number.
From watching the video I got the general idea, disassemble 50% of the dryer. Only had 2 differences in my dryer from the one used in the video, so the video was helpful. The one difference was the connections to the front side of the dryer were on the power distribution circuit board located on the left of the dryer under a sheet metal cover. These were harder to disconnect with my fat thumbs. The bigger issue was with removing the front control panel. In the video there doesn't appear to be... Read more
Dryer not heating or drying inconsistently? A faulty thermistor causes temperature control issues. Direct repair—moderate difficulty, 30-45 minutes.
You can do this! Although an Art Director by trade, I like working with my hands. I’m adept at working with tools and following instructions. In today’s disposable society, I prefer fixing things. That said, this has to be the easiest repair I’ve ever attempted with the largest cost-savings versus hiring a professional. My brand new dryer had been in use fewer than six months (average 6 loads per week) when suddenly the dryer would not heat. The drum would spin, there were no error codes, and... Read more
Maintains belt tension in your dryer drum system. Replace if the pulley wheel is worn, cracked, seized, or the tensioner arm is bent or broken.
This thermal fuse is a safety device mounted on or near the blower housing inside the dryer. It is designed to blow and cut power to the dryer if the internal temperature exceeds a safe limit, preventing potential fire hazards. Replace this fuse if the dryer will not start or has no power at all - a blown thermal fuse is one of the most common reasons a dryer stops running completely.
Dryer not heating or producing warmth? This heating element assembly restores heat output. Moderate DIY repair, takes 1-2 hours. Includes thermostats.
This has been posted on my Facebook (but can't tag AppliancePartsPros) titled "As My Husband Slept!" =( Each dash represents a caption in each post. - Nice try taking a few days off! Your vacation days, or hours, are numbered ?? - Step 1: Removed 2 screws from the back. So far so good! - (after removing the top of the dryer) Wow! I'm so proud of myself ????? - (after the front panel was removed) Step 2: Remove the front panel as instructed by the guy on the video ?? ... I think I'm going to be... Read more
Supports and allows the dryer drum to rotate smoothly. Replace when roller bearing seizes, develops flat spots, or shows wear causing noise or drag.
I first researched on AppliancePartsPros.com the availability of parts. It looked like all common parts were in stock ready to ship. I also found that APP had several helpful videos to show how to take apart the dryer and replace the parts. Other research indicated the most common problem is the drum rollers, but after seeing the videos I determined that not only the rollers but also the tensioner pulley could be bad and the belt too. So I bought all of these parts because I did not want to... Read more
The Flame Sensor is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool gas dryers. This component plays a critical safety role by monitoring the presence of the gas burner flame during the drying cycle.

Symptoms that may indicate a faulty flame sensor include:
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore gas dryer models.
I used Fixya as an initial source describing my problem. I got two responses which were very helpful. One that the "coils" were probably the problem. Two, that the problem could be the thermostat or a thermistor in the dryer. I verified that AC was coming from the timing control, that both the two terminal and three terminal coils,the igniter and shut off thermostat all had continuity. I then applied AC directly to the coils: the two terminal coil ""clanked" and I interpreted that as the coil... Read more
Dryer overheating or won't shut off? This high limit thermostat regulates temperature to prevent damage. Moderately easy DIY repair, 1-2 hours.
Replaced heating element and thermostat, took me about 2 hours but that's because i had to vacuum out the dryer inside and I also checked the fan before I closed the dryer back up. I have a Samsung DV448AAEP. Works great and saved my family money! Read more
Fix a dryer that won't heat or stops after 10 seconds. This thermostat bracket assembly regulates temperature to prevent overheating. Easy DIY repair.
Illuminates the dryer drum for better visibility when loading and unloading. Replace when bulb burns out or fails to light. Confirm fit with your model.
Originally the dryer was squeaking a lot, so I purchased a new belt tensioner, but the original tensioner was an old-style no wheel tensioner, so that wasn't the source of the squeaking. I saw a lot of lint had built up inside the unit where there shouldn't have been that much. So I viewed a few videos on the Appliance Pros site and saw that the rear wheel guides were the cause of the squeaking and the rear felt drum and blower housing seal needed to be replaced. The rear blower housing was... Read more
This is a thermal fuse rated at 320 degrees Fahrenheit that acts as a safety device in the dryer's heating circuit. It is designed to blow and cut power to the heater or the entire dryer if the internal temperature exceeds safe limits, preventing a fire hazard. Replace this fuse if your dryer runs but produces no heat, or if the dryer won't start at all - thermal fuses are not resettable and must be replaced once they have tripped.

I researched the issue on You tube and found out it could be either the "belt broke switch" or the Moisture sensor. A friend who was an appliance mechanic advised "since you have to take it all apart anyways, its best to replace the belt, spring, and Idler wheel" I bought the 5 item for $52. I watched the video on the AppliancePartsPros for changing out the belt and I replace all items on the list. Took 1 1/2 hrs and was fixed on restart!! * Wear gloves, the sheet metal is very sharp edges!* Read more
Maintains tension on the idler pulley to keep the drum belt tight. Replace if the spring is stretched, broken, or missing to restore proper belt operation.

Easy! Took the old case filter off and put the new case filter on. Two clicks and it was done! I would also like to say how great it was to deal with this company, easy ordering, best price, and fast delivery. Keep up the great work. Read more
Motor hums but won't start? Replace your dryer drive motor to fix startup failure. Moderate DIY repair with video guide. Restores drum rotation.
After watching the how to video twice I decided to embark on dismantling my dryer and attempting to replace my motor. After realizing that the main tool needed was a Phillips screwdriver I was sure I could handle this repair. One by one I took apart the dryer and spread out the parts throughout my mud room. 1.5 hrs later and I have a working dryer, and most of all a happy wife. Thanks for the speedy part delivery and the great how to video. Read more
