As a divorced middle-aged woman, I fully believe I can do this repair myself with your excellent video instructions, and not have to be taken advantage of by another repairman! Great great job and straight to the point! Thank you sir! You're still doing good helping people after all these years!

I talked my 12yo daughter through the repair 8, 000 miles away via Skype. I'm deployed btw. We watched your video together, then she did everything step by step using your superb instructions. She never used a ratchet or a socket in her whole life. Thanks for making this video <applause> it was clear, and easy to follow.

THANK YOU! For specifying that the wire with the white stripe goes on top and the solid red goes on the bottom! After disconnecting and replacing my heating element I searched many YouTube videos to make sure I was connecting them correctly and yours was the only video that was clear on that important detail. Thank you so much.

Just replaced my heating element. I had a couple of extra screws to remove but but your Instructions were great and easy to follow! This Kenmore is 23 years old and still kicking! Thank you!

This video is great! I went on Angi, and was quoted $350 to fix the dryer not heating! Watched your video and after getting the heating element part, was able to replace the old one and install the new one. Only took about 30 minutes! THANKS!!👍

The only video that shows how to actually remove that front cover. After ten years still a relevant video. Thanks

Thank you so much for making this video. Gave me the confidence to try this my self and now I have a working dryer for $30.

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH. YOU SAVED ME A LOT OF MONEY 💰 I called a guy and he wants to charge me $200 so I told him that I'll call him when I get the money. I found your video and replaced it. So my dryer is working and only bought the piece for $64. You are so kind. GOD BLESS YOU

Hey How To Bob! My wife and I are on our way to buy an Elite from a lady for $25. This video really helped us and we wanted to say thank you for taking the time to show us how to do it. We'll give you an update soon

Husband out of town, four kids’ laundry piling up, this video helped immensely. Thank you!!!!

My old Kenmore is going on 22 years old and this is the first time it’s ever had a problem. Never even knew I needed to clean that bottom lint trap for the first 18 years and it wasn’t even very dirty considering it hadn’t ever been cleaned. I’m planning on another 20 years now that this is replaced! Thanks very much for such a good video and explanation, my son did it himself with no problem thanks to this video! You’re a gem!

[caddy]

Thank you for your video - you just saved us $800 on a new dryer. My wife was convinced I couldn’t fix our 20 year old Kenmore.
Took me about 2 hours, but was worth the effort.
Great instructions - thanks again.

Thank you, Bob. So many "how to" videos are poorly done, bad video, skip over many of the critical steps that us homeowners know nothing about. Yours is awesome!. Than you for the remedial tutorial.

[transether]

Thank you. What a straightforward, clear and concise video you have put together. I have an HE4 so there are just slight differences in the heater element housing cover but all of the other basics are the same. I saved a significant amount of money and there is something to be said about the satisfaction that comes with completing a DIY project. Your video was invaluable.

Just want to say thanks for making this video. I have a 22 year old Kenmore Elite HE3 that stopped heating. Followed your instructions with the addition of installing a new thermostat and thermal cutoff (which are located right there as well). We now have a hot dryer! Thanks again!

[kathywalls]

I can't thank you enough for this detailed video. The element was broken. I could not believe the gobs of lint all over that part of our dryer and some were already burnt. "Please people even if you don't have a dryer problem unscrew that cover and get in there and vacuum, we could have had a fire." Thank you so much and my husband was so proud of me for taking on this problem!

[cindycrain]

A very big thank you for this video. It was going to cost me $200 to get my dryer fixed. Your video was very detailed and easy to follow. I ordered the part from Amazon for $26 and did it all by myself! I'm so glad I did not have to depend on my husband to do this for me. Thank you!!!

This is the most perfect video clip to repair my Kenmore HE3 dryer. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
