My dryer stopped working and as a single mom, my heart dropped. Figured out it was the leg of the switch that snapped. Found the part online, which was inexpensive, followed your video and was done in less than 10min. Back up and running again. Thanks!

I paid a Kenmore repairman more than $200 to do this. After watching the video, and buying the $10 part, I did it myself, for free. Thank you!

Thank you! I purchased my first home and every month, something requires repair. I'm a single mom on a budget, so eliminating service techs has saved me a small fortune! The part was $10. It arrived overnight from Amazon With your video, it took me less than 10 minutes to replace it. Thanks a million times

I was so discouraged a few days ago when our dryer suddenly stopped working. A few diagnostic videos later and we found the problem. Ordered the part (and a multimeter since that would've been useful in diagnosing the problem) and received it yesterday. While my husband's been at work, I've been procrastinating attempting to fix it on my own, but this video was so straightforward and helpful! I got it fixed SO fast, I shrieked when it worked I was so happy. Thank you for your help 😊❤

You saved us hundreds of dollars, i am not a handyman but i dont have hundreds of dollars to spet on repair, my wife always will say lets get a new one instead n thats even more. So i followed your steps and it was so easy! Cost me $12 to fix it (parts from Amazon) and now its up and running. Truly thank you for your help

Thank you for this clear & easy to follow video. I have never worked on an appliance in my life & just replaced my door switch assembly. Spent $22 on the part. What a relief my dryer is working again!!! The world is better because of you.

THANK YOU. You made me look like a superhero at my grandma's house. keep up the good work.😃

A huge thank you for your help. I can't thank you enough. I know you saved me tons of money. My bf looked at me as if I were crazy for even attempting to try to fix the dryer myself. He called me crazy for not calling a service tech. The part cost me approximately $17 and I fixed it all by myself. Big Hugs!

Our dryer wouldn't start. My wife pushed the start button inside the door and it went up and disappeared. I had no idea what to do or to recover it. I opened up the dryer top with with help from your video unscrewed the switch, which, turns out, had literally come apart (my wife is that strong). The glue had come apart and the black switch lever had fallen into the bowels of the machine. Thanks to your video I was able to locate the missing piece and put it back. I used rubber bands to keep the split switch together, and put everything back and lo, worked a treat. After receiving lots of conjugal abuse ("Will you try to fix the drier? Yep. Ah, you'll just sit ****kin' there, and this will never get fixed!"), the trouble and strife was incredibly delighted to have the drier fixed again. Ah. What price conjugal bliss. Thanks for the help. That was a life-saver, or at least an ear-saver!

Your simple how-to videos are so helpful for this single gal who can do these fixes herself; but, just need these helpful videos to walk me through it step-by-step. THANK YOU!!!

I am yelling THANK YOU for this video. YOU have saved my family hundreds of dollars. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

I'm an old girl and a handyman offered to "fix" my dryer for $125. I remember my brother-in-law making comments about dryers being simple machines. So I watched your video, ordered the part (paid a lot more cause I ordered from Sears) and with the help of my son's muscle, we fixed it ourselves. Saved $100 - THANKS!!

Thank you so much for posting this vid. We recently noticed that our dryer would continue to spin even with the door open. Then on Sunday it stopped working all together. Came across your channel and showed my husband. We went and got another door switch, installed and were good to go. It only cost us $25 were as Sears would have charged us more. Thanks again and you have a new subscriber for life.

THANK YOU! This video made the repair a breeze and was super easy for a novice like me. Following along this took around 8-10 minutes. Hardest part was popping the clips open on the top of the dryer. Very much appreciated this content!

I followed your step and it went all well. It costed me $7 to fix it. I felt so good for having fixed what would have costed me hundreds of dollars. All I can say is THANK YOU infinitely.

Thank you Mr Steve. We had an appliance electrician look at it and he wanted $200, I refused and used your video and it was done for $15 parts and my own labor $0, priceless to see the wife happy. Your videos fix relationships not just appliances.

Thank you for the great video! The part cost $5 and we had it fixed in 10 minutes. Very clear and thorough instructions!

Thanks to you…You saved me HUNDREDS of dollars! The part was only about $7,as opposed to me having to pay a technician for a diagnostic,and parts and labor which would’ve EASILY cost me at LEAST $200! THANK YOU!!!

November 2022; I used your detailed step-by-step video to repair my door switch. I was so excited and proud of myself - but more so - very grateful for your excellent video that took the fear out of attempting this repair! I ordered my replacement switch from Amazon for a little under $8 and provided the free labor. What a savings!

Thank you so much for sharing. I replaced my door switch, and dryer is running perfectly. You just saved me about $150.

Thank you so much for this! I was quoted $109 plus parts and labor for the repair. I spent $8 to get the part from Amazon and instead of a putty knife, I used a butter knife. I own my own home and I live alone so I rely on helpful videos like this to get by.

Part cost me just $6 on Amazon. Followed your excellent instructions and had the dryer up and running in under 15 minutes. Thank you so much. This is why Gore invented the internet! lol

Almost rebuilt my whole dryer thanks to your videos!

Thank you - this repair was so easy to follow and saved this school teacher a significant chunk of change! I am very grateful!

A few years back I used another one of your videos to replace my washer lid switch. Now this job looks even easier. Thank you, Steve.

Done beautifully in a well-executed manner, concise, precise and through. Thank you.

Thank you very much for the video. Our switch broke and we are very close to Christmas, as a young dad I was able to get the part off another broke dryer in the garage and fix so the wife can do clothes and we won't have to shell out our money for a new appliance!! Thanks again!

Ordered the part and followed the steps in the video and my dryer is perfectly working.

Thank you. Our kid recently broke the censor and without this video, I would be out a lot of money. So again, thank you.

Thank you Steve! I ordered the part, replaced it myself (with your wonderful directions) and cant wait til my husband gets home so I can show him the properly working dryer.

Thank you so much! I bought the part for $7 on amazon and fixed it with my mom and little brother :)

i don't know how much money this video just saved me, but more than i wanted to spend on a handyman during the holidays. Thank you very much!

Man, here I was about to start looking for someone to fix the dryer. The thermal fuse and door switch. Now I don't have to call anyone because I can fix it myself. Thanks for such a helpful video!

Thank you, I saved money doing this repair after watching your video.

Great video! Thank you for taking it step by step . I ordered a switch on line for just shy of $7. The appliance place wanted almost $40 to order it.

You're very welcome! Thanks for the feedback here, and good luck with your repair! Cheers.

Thank you! Our Kenmore dryer would not stop running when we opened the door. After time, it completely stopped working. I couldn't see paying a fortune in repairs, especially if it was a major problem (i.e., drum, motor) . However, after a little research and viewing the video, the switch was the problem. Bless you!!!

Thank you so much. I convinced my parents to let me try this out and prevented them from buying a new one. It’s not mentioned in the video but use a flathead screwdriver to pry apart the harnesses.

Thanks Steve. This is exactly what I needed to do on my dryer. Why anyone would give a thumbs down on this video is beyond me.

Wow. Same dryer. I called in model number to order the part and it is in fact the number you listed. My son helped me install it and i saved myself 600.00 dollars or more. When the one appliance dies i will buy twin set. These appliances were here when i moved in. Nonetheless, I have saved myself some money for the moment!. Thanks.

As a retired single woman on a fixed income, I can't afford to make service calls for every little thing. I ordered the part and used your video and I am up and running. Wioohoo! Thanks!

I’m coming here before I call another repair guy. I replaced the power switch but it was the door switch that was broken 🤦🏽‍♀️ I paid $75 for something that costs $5 and labor that was less than 5 minutes. Thank you for these videos

Thank you. You saved me time, money and a headache. You've helped me out before with my washer. I appreciate your channel.

Where did you buy this part at. ?? Mine is bad and I having a hard time finding it

We love you :) it worked exactly as you suggested. We did change the order and removed the screws holding the switch in place before we disengaged the wire harness and the same when putting it back on, we engaged the wire harness first before screwing the switch in place. This way we didn't have to worry about making sure the part didn't fall inside. Thanks so much!!!!

Thanks for the easy to follow video and commentary! It was a great project for me and my 5 year old son to work on (he really enjoys watching your videos too)!

10 years later this helped me fix the dryer at my business amazing

Awesome! I got the part for $6 on EBay, followed this video, and now my dryer is working again! I'm so happy. This saved me lots of money.

You made this grandma look like a professional repairman! Thank you!

FINALLY ,a man that speaks English well and can communicate in this country and doesn't have rapp music or some other low life trash screaming in the back-ground so no one can hear what he says....but mostly just a class guy that knows exactly what to do here. I wish he did all the videos on repairs. NICE work.

PartSelect:: that left top hold-down did not want to release…..I thought I would need my SLIM~JIM ! Also just hoping the part that arrives has the “backing plate” that receives the long mounting screws or I will have to retrieve this part from the bottom of the chassis where you said not to drop it…lol…I did! Hope you are living a great life and thanks for the instructions.

Thanks, Steve. You just saved me $200 on a $5.00 part.

Thnx as I should've watched your whole video first as I did drop the old timer at the bottom of the washer. 😂😂😂 I had to tilt the washer then open the back to dig it out. Anyways, I'm relieved that the door switch was the reason why my dryer wouldn't start. I also bought a timer as well but I think my old timer was going out anyway. Looking at the old reviews I probably did over spend on my parts online as I didn't go through Amazon. I went through repair clinic. On those 2 parts, I spent around $220.

Thank you so much for your detailed video! I was able to fix my dryer for 6 bucks without asking anyone else for help🙏👍🤗

phenomenal video. helpful, easy to follow, encouraging, straight to the point. THANK YOU!!!!

very helpful. Good visualization of what you were doing. Plus handy demostrations of tips the pros know but ,as amateurs, we don't. Thanks

Woo-hoo I fixed my dryer with a $7 part. Thank you for the help!

Video was very helpful. Only issue we had was when trying to reinstall the screws through the lid and the filter chute. Finally figured out the chute had moved backward just enough that one screw hole wouldn't align. Took a small jeweler's screwdriver through the other hole that lined up and pulled on that until the other hole lined up. Also used the same screwdriver to unsnap the wiring harness. Couldn't manage to do it with the putty knife. Saved big bucks DIO (doing it ourselves)!

Thanks for making this video. It's very simple & educational & it saved me alot of money.

Thank you. Glad I watched your video. The first video I watched removed the back.

thank you. It is so cool that i one was able to diagnose the problem and two you showed me how to fix it. I feel so smart! :) Now hopefully it isn't so old that i can't find the part. LIz
