I did the same fix about 4 years ago on my admiral. Worked great but 4 years later it just stopped heating again. Gonna dive in and check it again before buying a new dryer. Great video you did. Thanks

Thanks for this video! The corrosion on the timer wasn’t my issue, but replacing the heating element/fuses/thermostat fixed it! Thank you, quick $30 fix

Glad it helped. This was a tricky one for sure!

Same dryer, same problem. I was ready to order the replacement kit but decided to try this….. 😂 Thank you!!!!

I watched your video and I wanted to thank you. Fixed the dryer for a total of 10 bucks. The video was clear, concise and very easy to follow.

Thanks! Saved me a lot of time and a trip or three to the hardware store to return parts I didn't need.

Thanks my man because of you my dryer is working!!!

Have a kenmore series 100 dryer doing this exact same thing. Followed the steps in the video and fixed it no problem. Saved my fam a good chunk of changed. Thanks brudda

Thanks for this! Cleaning contacts saved me a lot of time and money!

This is our same dryer and we had the same exact problem. Thank you so much, because our dryer is heating again!

I had the exact same problem and was able to resolve it by applying a tiny amount of dielectric grease to the contacts in addition to sanding.

You made that look easy.. I hope i have your luck. 😊 I think going in i am just goi g to replace the parts that i have. Then there will be no disappointment 😊. 😊

Thanks bro you were 💯right it was the timer housing and device Aloha & Mahalo 🤙🏾

@@thefiXfiles Amana should have your video on its website AND a flyer within the normal initial paperwork when buying one of these Amana Dryers 💯facts

I have an Amana dryer and replaced all the same components you did and it still is not heating, but I had checked the timer for continuity, and it had it so i figured it would not be the timer, but I did not think to open the timer itself and check the contacts. i am going to try this and see if it fixes the issue.

Tried replacing the mentioned parts and had no luck, trying the timer tomorrow to see if that’s the culprit, hopefully I can save my brother a few bucks on this 🤞

Thanks great video

Excellent video. So, after replacing all the sensors, heater element, etc in the back, and taking apart my timer and sanding the contacts, mine still wont heat. Ideas??

If you're going to do this for the affirmation of strangers on the internet I would recommend you continue with the great editing, solid camera work, clear voice recording without an awful youtuber affect, proper pacing, and overall quality because you, sir, are one of the greatest content producers I have ever encountered. Don't take this the wrong way but I hope I never need to watch one of your videos again and if I need you in the future I am sure I will again enjoy the video more than the repair. Excuse me I have some tools to put away.

Thanks for the kind words man, that's exactly the experience I decided to create when I started posting videos 7 years ago. It's so easy to show your viewers appreciation and respect for their time by doing the small things. It makes the video so much more pleasant to have good lighting, stable footage, clear audio, minimal yapping and wasting time. All that stuff takes so little effort on the part of the creator, but makes a big difference for the final product. Thanks for stopping by and commenting man. Hope nothing else breaks for a while!

@@thefiXfilesI have a gas dryer admiral. Would it be same parts as well?

Awesome thanks

I changed everything, including the heating element. I cleaned the contacts in the selector, and the dryer is still running cold as polar bear balls. I'm in for $93 so far. Anyone with a suggestion for what to do next?

Does the dryer just stop heating or you notice something else before that happened? Mine began to smell like burn and then stop heating.

I'm going to try this tomorrow, as I think this is my problem as well! The dryer will heat intermittently depending on the way I turn the dial. Problem is I can't figure out which way to turn it to make it work so its randomly drying my clothes when it feels like it!

Good luck. Hope you’re able to get it fixed. It’s always nice to keep them going for a few more years instead of dropping the cash to buy new.

Thank you, I guess I'll have to find a repair man, we're past the age of getting up and down to repair,but at least I now have ideas of what's wrong!

I have an admiral gas dryer. Is it the same fix and parts?

I’m having the same problem. Suddenly no heat, and the timer never stops, so I figured it was the timer. So I went through and did what you did, but the timer looks perfect on the inside, and i put it back together and it’s still not working.

Just replaced the timer and it’s still not heating. 😞

Well. My dryer JUST stopped heating today 😩. Gonna try the last step first. TOMORROW I guess. Since it’s bed time and 4:30am comes early 😢

Same dryer, probably the same issue. Will update shortly.

Why did you remove the whole top where the timer is?? All you needed to do was take the backing off and remove the timer.

I just retightened and cleaned my timer and it works like brand new 💯🙏 I took off the top of my dryer because I didn’t wanna snap or break anything that was holding the timer housings and device. Was easier for me after I took it completely off. I thought there would’ve been something else holding the timer device and housings too the faceplate but only those two flimsy snap-in’s

Didn’t work for me. I ordered a new Heating Element hopefully that work.

I’ve don’t everything you did and cleaned the timer contacts and still have the same problem. Any ideas?
