As a single mom with no extra money to call a repair man, this video was a lifesaver! Thank you so much. 💜

I thought I'd let you know this video helped me fix my dryer this past weekend. Your going on three year old video has probably helped thousands of people make this repair possible. Thank you.

Great job!

I have watch quite a few videos and you were the first to show that I don't have to take the entire dryer apart....very helpful thanks bro.

Don’t know why your video wasn’t coming up first compared to all the other dumb ones. This was exactly what I needed. Thanks for taking the time to show the details. Only missing the ohms test which is a must when troubleshooting and replacing in the end!

The only reason I could think someone would thumb down this vid is because they are the ones who flip broken dryers. So informative and bonus to have the links to buy the parts needed for this swap. Subscribed and look forward to future videos. THANK YOU FELIX!!

This was exactly what I needed! Our dryer slowly stopped heating up and finally stopped completely this week. Managed to take apart the dryer as per the video. There were 2 extra screws behind my bottom bracket, but I managed to get them by reaching around the bracket with a small Phillips screwdriver. New heating element and thermostats installed and it’s working perfectly now!

This was VERY helpful! We had only ordered a heating element and were afraid that we needed the thermostat, too, but thanks to the note to check the element for breakage, we determined that was the problem. We actually cheered when we found the break! lol. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Thank you for making this video! I was completely lost when my dryer broke. I ordered the parts and followed your instructions and my dryer is up and running again. I appreciate it!

Jessie Nguyen I am glad to hear that 😃 you can help me back by subscribing!! Thank you ^_^

Fantastic job!! Just got done with mine a half hour ago. Pro tip for anyone doing this, my issue was the heat coil busted. So when swapping it out the replacement may make you think it won’t fit and is too small but you would be wrong. It fits just fine, you have to squeeze the metal housing. That threw me for a loop.

I have the exact same model dryer and it stopped heating just before I left on vacation last week (oof). This video is a lifesaver, thank you SO much! KZread and DIY repair people for the WIN!! I am surprised at how inexpensive the replacement heater element and thermostat are too.

Thank you, Felix. This video is perfect for a Jack of all trades, but master of none, like myself. Perfect directions.

Exactly what I needed. Especially appreciate the link to the correct part. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

You are the man Felix. Saved me $900 since wifey wanted a new dryer instead of me fixing it. 😅

Hello Enrique. I used the link at the bottom of Felix's post. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QJWX98P/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Excellent explanation! I followed your instructions and was able to remove the part... I even accidentally cut myself a little😅. I had to use another video near the end because I was replacing the entire heating assembly but this is exactly what I needed to get me near the finish line. THANK YOU!!! My model is a bit newer and the pedestal had screws in the back. It was easy to keep those in and push down/ flatten the pedestal enough to pull out the part, then push it back up when I was ready.

Fixed mine, thank you! My dryer had four screws holding the sheet metal pillar that supports the heating element, instead of just two in the front. Also, the repair kit came with two parts I didn't use.

Thank you to Fix it Felix for this video! I ordered the kit referenced in the description and fixed my dryer last weekend. In my case the heating element coil had broken as referenced in the video. I went ahead and replaced the thermostat as well. One procedural note: My dryer had 2 difficult to reach screws on the back side of the base of the metal stand that supports the heating coil fixture. This is not shown in the video. (Perhaps a slight variation in models?) Took me 30 minutes to get those screws out. I had to lift up on the metal coil container (basically pushing it to touch the bottom of the drum and rotating it to the left) in order to get a thicker screwdriver for better torque grip. I recommend using the socket wrench he shows in the video.

I’m subscribing to your channel Felix! Love it. The thing you call a thermostat is a high limit switch in the heating and ac world. The “NC” on the label of the limit switch means normally closed. When the heating element reaches an unsafe temperature the limit switch will open the electrical circuit cutting power to the heat element. If your limit switch is a NC (normally closed) you can test it by checking for continuity with your multimeter across the leads. Same thing goes for your heating element. If you don’t get any resistance reading (OL on your meter) you have a broken element. It’s all about sharing the information. Thank you for taking the time to post this video brother.

I know your comment was almost a year ago, but if you check in…I replaced coil and thermostat and still don’t have any heat, so my question is (someone who is completely unknowledgeable on this stuff) I noticed the wires were different colors, would it matter which port I connected a wire to similar to car battery? Cause I didn’t notice any type of +/- symbol or indication that they had to go a certain way. Thanks *Felix not sure if you can see or read this, if so, would know happen to know incase this guy hasn’t signed on in over a year?

Thank you Félix we did and followed your instructions and our dryer is working perfectly. Excellent video and details.😊

I Did the same. However, had a heck of a time with the putting tube back together. Do not use power screw driver it will strip the threads of the housing. If there is a next time I will be looking for the entire tube. This took me every bit of 2 hours more like 2-1/2.

Thank you so much!!! I was able to fix my dryer alone thanks to your video!!

This was very helpful. The “L” bracket holding the front of the coil had two machine screws attached to the back of the base, so no “wiggling” was ever going to release it. But you can feel around with your finger and get a small Phillips screwdriver in them and get them unscrewed. Also, the thermostat and coil wiring were not the “plug” type,so I took a photo of the wiring on the thermostats. But thank you… I saved a lot of money fixing my dryer.

Excellent is all I can say step by step easy to understand.Well done

Thanks! This definitely worked. We fixed our dryer a year ago and it's still working perfectly. Just came back to share the video link with another person. Thank again!

Thanks Felix, I really liked the video! I suggest using an ohmmeter to check the continuity of the coil. Less work than inspecting, if you have the tool =)

Thank you Felix! The instructions were easy to follow, and the repair only took about an hour. You saved me $300 for a repair man, the parts only cost $35.

This is the second one on my dryer, thanks for the tutorial.

For a nearly 100% fix it the first time.. just replace that whole heating element assembly (that sheet metal "tube" the heating element was in) not each part, trying to figure out which one. That assembly, or tube includes the thermostat, thermomister, heating element, and I think.. the thermal fuse - and all this is roughly only like $10 more than buying one part at a time. Great freaking video explanation though Felix! You nailed it.

I really appreciate the video. I’m headed to a supply house to pick up the parts. Thanks

Excellent job, excellent video. You saved me from calling someone to fix it !!

I replaced both just in case. Thanks for the vid

Thnx for the video! I couldn't have done it without your help!!!

I suggest buying a multimeter and checking all pieces for conductivity (thermostat, fuse, coil, etc.). I first replaced the thermostat based on this video without testing anything and that didn't fix it. Was going to buy the coil next but decided to purchase a multimeter to test. Sure enough the coil was fine (original thermostat was too) but the fuse was bad. Purchased the fuse and my dryer is back heating!

Perfect video. Thank you. Helped a lot !

Thank you found the part and got it fixed in 3 hours. Happy wife!

Thanks Felix!!! You are a life saver.

I will enlighten you of the reason..... this guy does not use an ohm meter to test the heating element continuity or how to test the thermistor for proper functioning and diagnosis.....this gentlemen is an improvised handi man who goes around replacing parts guessing at what could be the problem....that's why....at best, he shows how to take the machine apart to reach the problem area.

H Max, I appreciate that his vid was this way bc if he had had some fancy ohm reading gadget, I would have thought it was past my skill set and not even attempted a self repair! I’m trying to fix the dryer myself rather than paying hundreds for someone else to do it. I love that he said “look and see if the coil is broken” and that that would be a good indicator of a heating element issue. If not, probably the thermostat. Very very very helpful video! Doesn’t need all the other bells and whistles you’re saying it’s missing.

I about broke my pedestal trying to get it out because he said just wiggle it around it will come out. Nope there are screws holding the back of it in.

Just follow the steps great video. Took a while but got it done. I would suggest some skin tight gloves because some metal parts are a bit sharp I did cut my thumb a bit. No big deal.

Note: My dryer was a newer or order version of the same model. I had 2 screws in the back, not the feet of the little stand that hold it up. After wiggling for a while I felt around and found the two screws. I was able to get them, even with my arthritis, by coming in with a stubby Philips from the right hand side. Maybe make this a top comment so that other people see it.
