Dryer won't stop spinning when door opens or won't start at all? The door switch likely failed. DIY repair in 10-20 minutes with basic tools.
I realized my load of laundry was still wet after a normal drying cycle. My first action was to turn the dryer on (2010 gas Maytag centennial) and open the front port to look at the ignitor coil. It never turned orange so I knew there must be a problem with the primary circuit. I shut off the dryer, disconnected the power, pulled it away from the wall, shutoff the gas, and removed the back panel.

Washer won't spin or drain? A faulty lid switch prevents the cycle from starting. This repair takes 15-30 minutes with basic tools and a video guide.
My son was doing his laundry, only to announce that the washer wouldn't rinse, spin or drain. I looked on line at new washers and was staggered to see how much they cost, our Whirlpool is 20 years old! Then I looked on Craig's list to see about getting a used washer, but when I found something that looked good, and looked up how it performed, most of them had terrible reviews. So, I looked at a video that told about the 5 most common things to go wrong and figured out it was a broken lid... Read more

The lid shut-off switch is located behind the lid How About That. I order the plastic ball the hold the lid in place plus the lid shut off switch.

Background: Roper Electric Dryer model REX6634RQ0 purchased new in early 2006 by my wife.

The timer knob simply pulls off the shaft with a solid, steady pull. Cleaned the timer cavity of lint/dust buildup.

Replacement required opening the top cover of the dryer and hinging it up. This... Read more
