Part 2: http://youtu.be/qGpojymCRNU
How to troubleshoot your gas dryer, how to fix a gas dryer, gas dryer wont heat, fix a dryer that wont heat. My gas dryer would not heat up so I will show you the four main pieces in the rear of the dryer that should be checked using an ohms meter. It is very easy to do and ANYONE can do this. Just to get this thing checked by a technician would cost $100. Then any parts, which are 4x the price you can get them at, plus $100 or more an hour for labor. By the time you are done, they will charge $250 to fix your dryer (half price for a brand new one). This job takes 1hr if you take your time, and the parts cost under $10… Please like the video if it helped and comment if you have any questions at all.
Here is where to get the multimeter tester: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001O1X65A/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001O1X65A&linkCode=as2&tag=chri0e2-20&linkId=L3A3XFVJXIFWVON7

Wow cool video but only one problem the thermostat that’s located just below should be changed out as well , that being said it’s the thermostats job to regulate the heat the thermal fuse is a redundant safety
I did it! I bought a multimeter and a ratchet set. Turns out the fuse was bad. The hardest part is getting to the back of the dryer to take off the panel. Thank you!
Great video!
First you help with my car, now my dryer. This is great!
Chris everything checks out in your videos but it still will not heat ! what is next that I could do?
I don't know if someone already notice this or not, but the second thing you tested in the back of your dryer you replaced the black wire on where the red wire when,.so did that make a problem with that thermostat?
Thanks for this training. It helped me to troubleshoot and permanently fix the problems with our dryer not heating. Turns out the guy who my wife bought a second-hand dryer from did a botched job of repairing the machine before he sold it to her. I found electrical wires exposed that caused sparks and was shorting out the dryer. There were also other things done that was just not done well but they are now all fixed.
Hey Chris. My igniter is turning on and the flame appears but about 10 seconds later the flame goes out. Then a minute later the igniter lights up again n flame comes on then goes out. Could it be a bad valve? All other components have resistance
Omg I went through so many videos to find yours to show exactly what to do. Thank you 🙏🏾 you saved me some money that needs to be saved right now 😂😂😂
At 5:48 you reversed the wires. Should have been black on top.
You reconnected the thermostat wires incorrectly.
Hey Chris fix, have you seen the video of the evolution of your intros?
Where’s the “HEY GUYS!! Chris fix here!”
Oh my goodness young man you saved grandma from looking like a total idiot! I watched another roper video for my dryer. I ordered the parts package for an electric dryer. Pulled it out took it all apart as I stepped over the gas line. lol Thank goodness the thermal fuse was the same for both. Anyone need an electric coil for their dryer? lol!
Thanks for the great video! Mine turned out to have the same issue.
Hay man,not only cars but appliances too!!! What else can you fix? Cruz I got this problem with my back see…
you put the red and black on backwards on the 2nd thing you checked
It’s funny that in every other video that I’ve seen, nobody ever mentions that after you’ve fixed what was wrong you should test the dryer only when put back together or else the flame would keep turning off. I’ve replaced every sensor up to even changing the complete burner when I didn’t need to. I was very frustrated until I saw your video and for that, I am very grateful. Thank you so much. Thumbs up and subscribed.
with my dryer it will heat uo and I'll see the flames but within a minute or so the flame will go out. I've changed the thermal fuse, solenoids, and the ignitor. the only thing i have not changed so far is the flame sensor. I should test the cycle thermostat and high limit thermostat but…. Need you advice
Great video! Very clear and concise and easy to follow.
I have a Samsung one.
Glad it worked. I'm no electrical guy, but found it interesting at 5:30–5:50 minutes into video the wires were reinstalled opposite of the way they came off. Must not matter because it worked?
Bam. Thanks for the video, these pieces are insanely cheap and save you hundreds! Appreciate you!
Great video sir! Your explanation of the function of every fuse was spot on. Thank you!
This video helped me fixed mine for $8 saved me several hundred bucks I was about to buy a new dryer thanks Chris
My dryer has intermittent failure of my igniter.
Do you think it is not the thermal fuse and I don't need to check it?
Thank you for this it was exactly what I needed to fix my dryer. 17.00 instead of 700!
My dryer over heated one time.
I have a brand new Samsung dryer. It's gas and it's not drying shit! Not even a single pair of shit stained boxers. Sending the dryer and shit stains back to Samsung. 2nd dryer I have had delivered
what if my thermostat reads 12.2? is it good?
If I turned the knob time up to 70s , I see fire on via the small window , after dryer run a few 1-2 mins, I the fire turn off, so which part fail ?
Once again Chrisfix to the rescue! Jack of all trades! I watched so many of your car videos and they all helped me with my old 2000 Ford ranger! Thank you for your content! Haven't delved into the mouse infested dryer issue yet but I feel there's no problem following your instructions as always very detailed and very easy to follow!
My dryer is electric
I've watched a lot of your videos Chris and by far you are the easiest for me to understand my Mom is currently having issues with her dryer and I try to be the handyman but I need a coach like your self 😂
Very helpful video, and was able to fix my dryer in 30 minutes. Mine was also the thermal fuse.
Chris, I found some of your older videos. I respect you a lot and your quiet lifestyle. Thank you for you well thought out videos. Perhaps some kaizen foam tool box videos? That’s an idea for content.
