Two things amaze me about this - first, that you filmed the exact model dryer with the exact issue as ours and second, your amazing generosity in sharing your knowledge with us. The satisfaction I got in repairing my own dryer was more rewarding than even the savings of avoiding an expensive repair call. You are a Rock Star 🌟

This was the PERFECT video. I was able to take the entire dryer apart, diagnose the broken element, replace it, and reassemble everything, saving me tons of money…my husband just wanted to buy a new dryer! Thank you for taking the time to walk the faceless internet people through this repair!!!

Great video. Fixed the dryer in just a few hours total. Saved my marriage! 🤣🤣🤣

I’m not married so my girlfriend can wait till Monday ;)

Our Maytag dryer just stopped heating suddenly. My husband found your video. After discovering that a repair person would not be available to come out and look at our problem for nearly a week, we decided to brave it and follow your instructions. My 19 year old son and my husband took the dryer apart as you directed. We identified the problem to be the heating element. I called a local appliance part store and located the part we needed. It is currently drying its first load of laundry. Thank you so much for giving such a thorough and easy to follow tutorial. We are not necessarily handy, but your instructions helped us make the repair!! Thank you!!!

I can’t thank you enough! This video guided me through the process of fixing (and cleaning) my dryer. You’re a life and money saver!

This is the only video I could find with the same setup, saved me and my housemates having to get another dryer. Thanks!!

Thorough and straightforward video made it a manageable and inexpensive DIY repair. Thank you for posting!

This is the most comprehensive tear apart of this dryer I could find. Thank you so much! I was able to change the element on mine with your perfect instructions. 👌👌

Good commentary as you go through the steps. Easy to understand each step and appreciate the extra effort for the camera views. Now to do my own exploration with our heatless Maytag.

This helped me immensely. This is the exact dryer I have and your walkthrough was exactly what I needed. Thank you so much

Thank you for making this video! It really wasn't obvious to me how to take the dryer apart in order to get at my failed thermostat, but you laid it out very clearly.

I wanted to thank you for putting this video together. It was spot on! I will send everyone I know and network with to stop by your posts. You saved me a ton of grief with us living in MICHIGAN and everything starting to get shut down again here due to COVID. I ordered the part you described and fixed this in just under two hour not know anything about working on appliances let alone the electrical side of things..... You did a fantastic job explaining the steps and recommending the solution! I will be watching your videos! Thank you! Thank you!

Excellent video. Ours went out yesterday and then I found your video, called the local parts company where I live and they had 4 heating elements in stock. Ripped mine out, confirmed it was bad with no continuity, and installed the new part all within the span of about 2 hours. You saved me a lot of money, time, and headaches. Thank you!

Thank you for making this video! Replacing the element was ALOT cheaper and easier than getting a new dryer!!

Awesome - my dryer needed the fuse replaced but your assembly & disassembly info was invaluable !!!

Omg my exact model, what a great surprise to find this perfectly detailed video. You made me the hero of my family today and made this task much less intimidating. Thank you!!!

great instructions! i did this repair 1.5 years ago and it took me forever. looks like the element is gone again, so will follow these great tips. Thank you!

Thank you so much for the video! Great step by step and visuals. I have the exact same dryer and you just saved me $300+ by not having to call the repair man. Appreciate you my friend!

This was exactly what I needed to diagnose and fix my dryer. Thank you so much!

Thank you your video. Made replacing the heating coil really simple. Please keep up the great work and videos. Only took an hour to do the complete job. Guys like you really help us guys that have never worked on appliances. Thank you.

Thank you so much! My husband and I (who are not very handy) were able fix our dryer in a couple of hours following your tutorial. Great video and much appreciated!

Thank you very much for putting this on, it helped an old 75 in body man fix his dryer!

Thank you! You just saved us from an expensive repair or even replacement. I was able to fix it in about 2 hours. Much appreciated!

Hey Bearded Repair Dude, Thank you so , so much for Maytag Bravos dryer vid! It was just great I can understand why you've had over 50,000 views in less than a year. You were especially good at searching for a clear camera angle for some of the tricky parts: very well done. I'm over 70 years old and my only previous appliance repair was using a fork to get a stuck piece of toast out of my toaster. You've changed my life. I would only say I could not find your links to order parts from you, which I certainly would have done. (I needed a new heating element, just as in your example.)

Very well done man. Thanks for making it easier for the rest of us!

This is possibly the finest instructional DIY video in the history of the internet. Everyone, I mean everyone, that wants to post DIY clips needs to watch this as the gold standard. Beard, if you were in Oklahoma I would put you on a retainer. You are awesome!!

Thank you for helping me fix my dryer. Watched your video, bought a multimeter to see if it was indeed the heating element and it was. I really appreciate what you did here for our family. Dryer is working like new.

Thank you so much for this video! Purchased the heating element for around $40 online and followed your advice step by step. Fixed the problem for a sliver of what it would have cost us for a new dryer. Can't thank you enough! I also wanted to add another possibly helpful tip. I used a C shaped clamp to anchor the drum to the top of the dryer. It provided me enough room to get the element out and replace with a new one without removing the drum. Saved me some time.

My wife and I were able to fix our dryer with the help of your insightful, pleasant video. Thank you.

I just replaced my heating element on my Maytag Bravos 400 series dryer and it works like a champ! This helpful tool guided me through every step of the way. I so appreciate you taking the time to make and share this video. Thank you.

Cannot be more thankful that this video exists!! Just bought this exact unit as a used item for a pretty good price, got it hooked up and it runs but doesn’t heat. Been searching for troubleshooting tips for most of today and finally came across this video. Going to open up the front and take a look tomorrow to see if the element is bad in mine. Great video, thanks for sharing!

Thank you for the guidance. It made it easier than I expected to complete the task. All the best.

Thank you so much for this step by step!!! It really is a straight forward thing once you have the part and the knowledge! You're a lifesaver!

Wow! I looked at so many frustrating videos until I found yours. Excellent! I don't say that very often, but you really do a superior job. Thank you thank you.

Your Video is a lifesaver! Of course my dryer went out while I have a house full of out of town guests. Your very detailed instructions helped this homemaker get life rolling again during the Holidays! You're the BEST!

I am speechless with how it easy it was to watch this awesome video and go step by step to diagnos my dryers issue. I have never took apart any appliance in my life and this video made it look simpler than walking. Thank God it was only the element. Took less than 10 min to take apart and 15 to put back together. As it stated in the video, the belt is fun to put back on..... not. Again, thanks for the video.

Thank you!! Being a widow of a Jack of all trades, I can't believe how expensive it is to call a repair man! You saved me a bunch of money!!

Great video. It was like having a friend next to me showing me how to repair my dryer. I appreciate it!

My husband and I used this video to clean out our dryer, and it is working like new this morning! Thank you so much for an easy to follow and understand DIY video,

I just wanted to say thank you so much. You gave great instructions. As I am a 57 year old woman doing this myself. I have to say the hardest part was definitely getting the belt back on right. Fortunately my son came in and helped me with that part 😊

Thank you for helping me. I'm 75 but not dead, so I like fixing things myself. You made it much easier than my error and do over method.

This gentleman helped me greatly in 2019 and 2020 with multiple appliances! I am hoping he knows just how thankful some of us are, who can't afford new appliances. Thank you sir! God Bless you and your family! Always... Signed, the guy that took a pneumatic die grinder to a stuck bearing race in a maytag bravos washer 2 or 3 years ago. Today, it was a belt on the bravos dryer.

My heating element went out on my Bravos XL dryer that was only 4-5 years old, and this video helped me do the repair. Part from Sears was $120, got a complete kit of parts from Amazon for $35, and no technician service call ($$$), so you helped me save a good amount of money. Thanks for posting this, it was extremely helpful !

Holy crap. I looked forever to find something to help me. I finally found your video. It took me awhile to fix mine, but I am barley considered a novice at home repairs. Thank you for making this video. It helped so much and saved us money!

Literally tore my dryer apart and diagnosed in 10 minutes thanks to this video. Also ordered all the parts from the links in the description. I went ahead and ordered thermostat, element and thermal fuse. That way its all new and I won't be tearing it back apart in a month to replace something else.

I’m in HVAC so I have a mind for mechanical things, but getting into my Maytag Bravos (different year than this one) was a total nightmare. The way you popped this one open gave me ideas for how to get in mine without breaking everything. You saved my back, because I was about to pull a He-Man and pick up my dryer and throw it off the balcony. If you ever have questions with your/your families HVAC reach out to me, I got your back.

Our dryer stopped heating and I found your video. Showed it to my husband, he ordered the heating element, followed your instructions and our dryer is working again! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Great pace through the video. Also thank you for thoroughly explaining all the little tricks along the way!

Great walk-through. Made an intimidating task easy for the average person with an average toolbox!

Wanted to show appreciation to you! This is the second time I’m watching this video to fix my dryer again!

Man....thoroughly needed this video. This is my unit and now I can fix it myself. Thanks!!!

Awesome job explaining this procedure. Thank you!

Used this video to replace the heating element in our Maytag. Took me a little longer then the 24 minute video, but that's because I had to come back to the video a few times to make sure I was following along correctly. The belt was a little harder then it was shown in video, but after a few curse words got the belt on properly. Thank you for posting.

Thanks so much. Just fixed our heating element. Feelin like a BOSS

Don’t ever stop doing these videos!! Fantastic! You are a hero!

Great video. Watched about 30 times. Pausing watching pausing again. Thank you so much!!

You're doing a public service! Thank you, sir.

Thanks for the video. I am sure it saved me a bunch of time looking for screws and latches.

Just completed this on my dryer. Followed your video step by step. Done in an hour or so. Thank you!

Great vid sir!! Appreciate the time putting this together! Was able to get ‘er done myself real ez after watching this very thorough vid.

Awesome video... Took me about 30 minutes, thanks to you.. and saved a ton!

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. You saved my family a lot of money!

This was extremely helpful...followed step by step and problem solved. Soooo good. Thanks so much!

This is pure gold! Helped me tremendously. Thank you!

Thank you so much! I managed to replace the heating elemant and thermal cut-off fuse all by myself with the help of your video. Pretty proud of this 50+ yr old lady. ;)

Thanks so much wide bearded one! I fixed my Bravos XL thanks to your help!

Took me about an hour and change but this video was a huge help. Thank bro for the video!

This was the second time in 18 months I had to replace the heating element. Your video was very helpful for both installs. Thank you!

This is amazing. I have this dryer. Its working fine but now after watching this I want to take it apart to clean it.

To echo all the previous comments: this was a great video. My wife and I are learning to be handy, and this taught us a lot in evaluation/diagnosis and management/maintenance of our problem (bad heating element). Super helpful. Thank you so much. Stay bearded, my friend.

Best detailed video I think I have seen in a long time. Thank You Sir!!!!!!!

Saved money and time thanks to your videos. You're a lifesaver, and you've got a subscriber!

Saved us a whole new dryer. Thanks!! Excellent video.

Just wanted to thank you for this video. I just replaced the heat element on our dryer and your video made it so easy. Thanks again! Also, I saw your Cowboys hat....sorry about Dak!

Thank you very much for taking the time to make this video. Your explanation of the job is second to none!

Super helpful video... I had the exact same thing with my Maytag Bravos 400 series electric dryer. The tricky part for me was the felt rings (front & back) that fit on the drum - finally got it figured out and the job was a cinch! Thanks to the Bearded one!!

Thank you so much for this video! I have a Bravos Quiet Series 400, purchased in 2009. It stopped heating up Monday. On Wednesday, it’s working just fine with a new heating element. I could not have attempted this without your video!

Thanks! This helped me fix my dryer that stopped heating. Turns out it was the heating element. I couldn't have done it without this video!

Great video thank you! Was able to follow along with you and get the repair done quickly!

I was able to repair my dryer thanks to your video, thanks again !

Dryer stopped blowing heat. Searched the ole reliable youtube and found your video. Fixed my dryer within a couple hrs. Awesome video man!

Thanks! Fixed it with no problem. Element was $20. I just unscrewed the thermostat rather than risking breaking the connections. I also put belt on pulleys first before sliding drum in, then pulled up on belt on right side to give slack and maneuver the belt around the drum.

Thanks! Super instructions and grateful for your willingness to share!

This was perfect! Thank you.

This was an excellent DIY video. I followed your instructions and was able to replace the heating element on my Maytag dryer. The only thing I did differently was remove the dryer's back panel so I could access the belt pulley system more easily.

I ended up doing the same thing, which was pretty easy. I found out the reason I was having such a hard time putting on the new belt is that the new belt was the wrong size! Ended up putting the old one back on. The idler pulley had to be replaced also.

Great video! Easy to follow! Thank you for posting!

Life saver, great video . Only one i could find on Maytag Bravos dryer. Thank you.

Wonderful video! Came here to say I didn’t know where to even start on my dryer that just randomly stopped heating. It’s relatively new so I was even more flustered because of that reason. I Put my volt meter on the prongs of the heating element just as you showed and immediately had zero continuity! I was like rats! But also like let’s go!! He showed that! A Local niche appliance parts store here that has everything ended up having the exact part in stock!! Got the part replaced, and buttoned and voila! We’re heating folks!!!!! Thank you!!

The video really helped me to replace the dryer heater. Putting the belt back on threw me for a loop! :) I had to imaging how the belt will go on from the front view since the camera view was from the rear facing the front. But, the dryer is working now so the wife is happy!

Absolutely 💯 great video. Literally fixed my dryer step by step. In about the same time it took him in the video

Fixed my dryer with the instructions provided. Great job many thanks

Great instructions! Worked like a charm on the first try! 👍👍

Thanks!!! This just saved me over $1,000. Used your link for the same element too!

I've used this twice- to replace the heating element in the same dryer. It's awesome- thank you!

Great video. Followed step by step. Knocked it out in about 2 hrs. Thank you.

Just completed the repair. Didn't remove the drum but propped it up out of the way. That way I didn't have to reattach the belt. Only problem I had was removing the electrical connectors from the fuse and thermostat. That would have been easier if I did remove the drum. By far one of the best "how to videos"I have seen. Thank you.

Great video! Thanks for teaching!

twice this video has helped me complete this job. thank you for filming and posting it!

Thanks for sharing, it helps alot people, I follow your video and clean my dryer if in the future I need part I will follow your link for parts, thank you so much for your kindness and humanity,
