Hi my name is Bill and today I will be showing you how to replace the flame
detector in your dryer. The reason why you might have to do this is because
your dryer isn't heating at all.
For this repair we'll be using a Philips head
screwdriver and a flat head screwdriver and our friend the shorts Philips head
screwdriver.
Warning before doing any repairs, please disconnect your power source.
So this is the appliance that we'll be using in
this demonstration. It's a GE, keep in mind yours at home
might look a little bit different than what we've got here, but the same
techniques should still apply. Make sure you turn your gas off.
So we're going to
start by turning our dryer around. So what we'll need to do is remove these screws
up here in order to get the control panel off.
So now that we've got the back
unscrewed, we can just slide the control panel
over and we're going to lift it up and we're going to put it back in this space right here.
Now we're going to open up our dryer door and on either side there
are two screws going straight up, so we need to remove those screws now. And
we're going to be using a Philips head screwdriver to
take these screws out
Now that we've got those screws out we can take the top off. All we have to do
is just lift up and pull back slightly on the top, and we'll set that off to the side.
So now that I've got these screws out I want to close up our front
dryer door. Now I've got two more screws that screw into the front panel and I'm
just going to remove those as well.
And when you remove them just make sure that when you get close to having them
come out, you catch some because you don't want to fall down into the dryer.
There you go.
Now that we've got those screws out we can tilt the front panel
forward and once we've got it tilted forward and separated from the drum, we
can lift it up over the tabs on the bottom and just turn it like so because
we've got some wires attached to it as well. So now we're going to do is I'm
going to detach some of these wires here. The first one I want to detach is this black
one that's connected right over here, and to do that I'm just going to use a flathead
screwdriver and I want to pry up.
There we go.
Now I've got this plastic part that's in my way a little bit so what I
want to do is just pull it slightly out like that so it's removed from the frame,
and now I can move it out of my way. Again just don't move it too far, you
don't want to break it. Move it just enough so that I can use my screwdriver
and pry these wires off.
There's one
And we just need to unplug our white wire and we'll
just pull that straight out there. So now I'm just going to remove this last wire
here and once again just pull that straight out.
So right on top of the drum
here we've got this piece, which is our belt there so in order to get it off I'm
going to reach inside of our dryer here, and I've got to get my arm in that little
hole. We're going to have to push up on the lever to release the tension and reach
in with our other hand and now we can just take that right off.
So now that we've removed the belt from the pulley, we can lift up on the belt.
That'll help us pick up the drum
So right here is our flame detector. In order to get it up, we're going to have to remove these
wires and then the screw. These wires should pull straight off and if you need
to you can also use a flathead screwdriver to help you pry it off.
And now we're going to use our shorter screwdriver with the Philips head
attachment on it in order to loosen up the screw here.
And now that we've got that screw out, you just need to angle it slightly and there's a tab you're going to
slide at the bottom there that we just need to remove just like that. now you
now you can grab your new OEM replacement flame detector if you don't have one already
you can find it on our online store.
So on the bottom of our flame detector we
have that tab right there sticking out, and that'll go into a slot right at the
bottom of our burner tube here
and we'll slide that in and then line up where our
screw goes in. Now I'll get that started by hand, and finish tightening it with our short screwdriver again
And now we can plug our wires back in here.
So you'll see on the back of your drum here there's a small shaft, and when you put
the drum back in you're going to want to make sure that shaft goes into that hole
right there.
There we go.
So it's a little bit hard to line it up
when you can't really see it back there, but you can do the best you can and it
might take a couple of tries to get it exactly in place.
There we go.
After a couple of tries you should be able to get it in there
and you'll see that the rim of the drum is inside the frame of the dryer there.
Now to put the drum back on, we're going to take the belt
and we're going to go on the other side of the wheel here just like this and we'll lift
it up, keeping this all together, and then loop the belt around the shaft here.
And make sure everything on straight, there we go, and then everything should be able
to spin freely now, just like that. We're going to reattach that to the middle.
This is a white wire that goes up along the edge of the door and goes to the light.
So that's plugged in now. And now with this last one,
attach it right there
Now I want to put this plastic piece back into place so
right into that slot right there, and we'll plug our last wire in.
And you're just going to make sure that these slight bumps there line up with the holes
outside. That fits in nicely, and now we'll put the front panel back on.
So now we're
going to line up our front panel with the tabs on the bottom. We're going to
set those into those tabs and stand the door up as we do that we're also going
to line up with the drum, and the inside of that plastic piece on the washer is
going in the drum. We've also got these metal tabs on
the side, they're going into the slots on the frame. So once those are all lined up
and the panel is flush, we can screw it back on. So now we're going to get our
screw started in this hole here, and then after we get it started,
screw it down nice and tight.
Same thing on this side.
Start our screw by hand and use our Philips head screwdriver to finish the
job.
Now when I put the top back on and you'll see there are two tabs sticking
out from the top. There are going to be two slots that correspond with them so I
want to line all those up.
So after I lined those up, I want to make sure that the
tabs go into slots just like that, and there's a couple on the front as well, so
now we can screw that back in. So we'll put in our screw and with that little
tiny hole at the top you should be able to line up the screw with the hole that
it belongs to there. Once you've got that started a little bit, finish screwing it in.
Now we're going to put our lint filter back into place since that came out a
little while ago. Now we can close our dryer door, and now we can line our control
panel back up and slide that back over and set that back into place. now we can
Now we can screw it back in.
Now we can turn our dryer back around and then once we do
that, we'll plug everything back in and your repair is complete.
Now we can turn
our gas back on. Finally don't forget to plug in your appliance.
