00:00This video was doing some laundry and the dryer wouldn't shut off. So what I
00:16brought here was my portable screwdriver set. I like using that one. So let's show
00:31you the problem. I think a light, there it is, everything. I think the light's not
00:39coming on either. So first thing I'm going to do is I should let the clothes
00:48finish. I just want to, you would unplug it of course, but since my laundry will
00:57stop I think I just want to open this and look at the switch. Now one of the
01:05videos there on YouTube, this guy was pushing his knee
01:16or there's two tabs right here in front.
01:25There it is I feel it. So let's push that in, pull up, one sec. Now I didn't need
01:33nothing to get the right side up. So let's just look in there. So there's the
01:38tab. Oh, it's just a...
01:44Yeah. Is that plastic? I think it just popped up.
01:54Let me get the other side up.
01:58Bingo! Popped.
02:01Let me lift this.
02:05Oh, we got to take the lint.
02:10Now there's two screws here.
02:14Yep, they got to come out.
02:20And I'll probably shut it off
02:24to save time on
02:27drying the clothes.
02:33Because the lint won't be trapped anyway.
02:38Once this comes out.
02:43All right, here's one.
02:50Even screws are expensive today.
02:54I've seen one on one of the other videos.
02:57They went to the store to get
03:00switch screw.
03:02You can just go to the hardware store and match it up.
03:12Or look in your screw box.
03:20Well, maybe a little
03:23thicker of a Phillips.
03:29There we go.
03:38That'll do it.
03:41Set those aside.
03:49Now this should come up.
03:55Left side latched again.
03:57Should be easier now to lift it.
04:02Now it goes up.
04:05Now this is unadvisable to keep it running
04:07when you work on it.
04:08But there's the plug.
04:11Blue, red, and white wire.
04:18And when you open it.
04:23I'm hitting the switch.
04:26That black switch.
04:32But nothing's happening.
04:34So I'm also gonna.
04:36Spider made a web in there.
04:40I'm also gonna play with the timer.
04:44Let's shut it off.
04:47Unplug it.
04:51Plug it back in.
04:56And let's turn it on one of these other selections.
05:02Turn it on.
05:04Now open the door.
05:06Yep.
05:07Still goes.
05:08So now.
05:09It could be the.
05:11Timer shut off.
05:14There's also a thermal.
05:18Inside the drum.
05:19The close hit a sensor.
05:23And then you got these.
05:27So I'm gonna just.
05:29Take this out.
05:33And also.
05:34If this is clogged.
05:36That could do.
05:37But it feels pretty light.
05:38I don't think that's clogged.
05:43Now I put the lint.
05:45Trap back in.
05:47Cause I had to go get a.
05:49Another screwdriver.
05:51If you look down.
05:54There.
05:58See that screw.
05:59Is way down there.
06:04I wanted to get something.
06:06Long enough.
06:06It's a small screw.
06:11So now is the time.
06:13To unplug it again.
06:17Cause I'm gonna keep it open high.
06:20Maybe if I can move this.
06:23Out of the way.
06:25You see.
06:26I don't want to.
06:27I can open up the lid more.
06:30But I'm just going after.
06:33That one screw.
06:37To take it out.
06:39I don't want to.
07:03Are these streets.
07:04It's your Phillips.
07:08Okay.
07:09I think it might be.
07:10From the inside.
07:13So we go up.
07:16Yep.
07:18My bad.
07:20I'm gonna take those screws out.
07:22Not make you wait.
07:24Just so you can see.
07:25What I'm doing here.
07:32There.
07:33That's all.
07:40There's one.
07:43There's two.
07:48Now.
07:50Yep.
07:51No washers.
07:52Or nuts.
07:54So let's just unplug this.
07:58Whoops.
07:58There's a little tie on there.
08:01I've got to put that back in.
08:03Don't yank it out.
08:04Yeah.
08:04I thought it was like one of.
08:06If you ever work on a desktop computer.
08:10There's a little clip here.
08:12That's got to come up.
08:13Before this will pull out.
08:15But they used to.
08:17Just be able to pull out.
08:18So let me.
08:20Pull that clip up.
08:21And pull this out.
08:24Just so you get an idea.
08:27I got the screwdriver under.
08:31So it lifts it up a little.
08:33Then you can.
08:35Then you can pull it.
08:37Had to pause it.
08:38But that did it.
08:39So here's the switch.
08:42You can either.
08:45Try to fix that.
08:46If it is the switch.
08:48And I was looking for a light bulb under there.
08:51I didn't see any.
08:52But I remember there's some sort of light.
08:56So let's just work on the power thing first.
09:00So I would think for a switch.
09:02This has got to click.
09:05See.
09:06So either I got to get this to click again.
09:09I mean maybe.
09:10It would release the.
09:12Contact.
09:14Without clicking.
09:16But that don't seem right.
09:17Usually any switch.
09:18Would hear a little click.
09:19So I think it's the switch.
09:21Now you're just supposed to get a new one.
09:23But I'm just going to.
09:25I'm going to pry this open.
09:26Because you'd have to order it or wait.
09:28I'm going to just try to.
09:30See if I can do a little.
09:32Repair.
09:33There's the spring.
09:34The contact looks okay.
09:37But that little black plastic thing.
09:39Popped out.
09:41Got to go get it.
09:42And if you want to take a picture or something.
09:44Just look at the way.
09:47That falls out.
09:50This contact I pushed back in.
09:53But it was the only way it fit back in.
09:56So now I've got to figure out.
09:58Because I didn't take a picture or look at that black plastic thing.
10:04How it fit in.
10:07But it looks like there's the.
10:09It's got to come out there.
10:11There's the tab.
10:13And you only can put it two ways.
10:15Let's see which way it'll fit.
10:17That seems to be the best.
10:20I just push that in.
10:22The other way it wouldn't fit.
10:26Now let's see how it would work.
10:28You know.
10:29The clicking of the switch.
10:31For those of you who are ordering another switch.
10:38I'll show you.
10:39That contact was to the left a little.
10:42I just lined them up.
10:44It fit right in the groove.
10:45Now the spring popped out.
10:47So I think it's the switch.
10:49I wouldn't advise doing this.
10:51But what I did was.
10:53Turn it on.
10:55Say 60 minutes or whatever.
10:57But when you push the button.
10:59It's plugged in.
11:01But I plugged the switch back in.
11:04And I noticed when I touched.
11:07With the screwdriver.
11:08Yeah you get a little spark.
11:13There's the light.
11:15Okay.
11:22And I did press the button.
11:25When this was.
11:26If I had another hand here.
11:27Like let me set this down.
11:30Okay.
11:30So there's the light.
11:34I'm setting it down.
11:35And.
11:38I just pressed it.
11:41Screwed it.
11:42It got a little hot.
11:43But.
11:44Yeah.
11:44I would just order the new switch.
11:47Unless you can.
11:48Unless you didn't break it like me.
11:50But.
11:51I might have to.
11:52Look at this video again.
11:54And.
11:56See where everything was lined up.
11:59Because I know.
11:59I know I got a close shot of it.
12:02Before I.
12:03That spring popped out.
12:05So it's the switch.
12:07This switch is going to control.
12:08Both the light.
12:11And.
12:13And the.
12:14Turn it off.
12:15Off and on.
12:17Thanks for watching the video.
12:19Hope it helps you.
12:20Take care.
12:21Bye.
