are you tired of this annoying e64 error message if so continue watching this
video and we're going to show you how to fix it but first this is not an unboxing
channel but today we're gonna do a little unboxing now that I officially
have an unboxing channel not only do I do vlogs but I guess I do unboxing now
alright let's get right into it we're gonna replace the heater console
of my Frigidaire dryer
okay first step is to unplug okay there's two ways of fixing this heater
element problem and one of the ways is to undo the back which is the hard way
around we'll be doing that we're going to be doing it from the front so we're
gonna open up the front panel it's a lot easier we're gonna save time and that's
the way we're gonna do it if you want to do it the hard way you gotta watch
another video but we're gonna do it the easy way
honey we can do this the easy way or the hard way the tools that we're gonna need
to do this by ourself and save money and not call a technician is ace Phillips
screwdriver step number two is gonna be removing the
two screws all the way in the upper back of the dryer there's one and there's two
now that we've got the top off remove two additional screws this one right
here on the side
and this one right here on the top right as well so once you remove the two top
screws you're just gonna go ahead and pull up and take the top ball off just
like so okay so I already did my research on this but if you want to see
it's right here East 64 heater open-circuit okay it says
heating elements or wiring defective so in my case is I already knew was heater
element so I bought a new heater element on Amazon and I'm gonna be linking the
actually the link on Amazon in the description box below so just in case
you want to see which one I bought I'm gonna show you guys which one I bought
in the description box below so remove the front panel we have four screws okay
we have one right here top left okay we're gonna have one on
our top right right there and then we're gonna have two all the way on the bottom
here okay it's gonna be this one right here the
one that is attached to the front panel and then same thing here don't want to
touch attach the front panel not this one over here that connects with
this light is attached to the front panel so the easiest way instead of
unhooking all this stuff I found you could just flip it in like so push it in
rotate and you could take it off like that so this is connected to the front
panel the lightest so that way you don't have to do a lot of unhooking and just
undo the under the light okay so after we remove the four screws we still have
two screws right here boom and boom we have to take these two off to pull the
whole thing out okay so I did undo the light like I said earlier now all it is
is unclipping this you just push these two parts together and pull and now our
front panel is disconnected from the rest of the washer okay so after
removing the front panel looks like I'm gonna have a little issue because this
looks like it's blocking everything from my view but it's gonna be over here in
the left corner so hopefully I could get to everything here okay
I'm gonna have to do this screw right there I'm gonna have to do that screw
right there I'm gonna have to unhook all these wires over here and then let's see
if I could get all the way in there to show you guys there's a screw all the
way in the back okay we're gonna do the screw right here and then there's one
all the way in the back let me get to it
okay so this could see it right over there all the way back okay so next step
is to unhook all these connections here and then the one over here on the right
and then we're gonna start to unscrew okay so I like to label everything that
way we're putting everything back together exactly how it was like for
this one I put T that's gonna be for the top wire the top gray wire so I have top
44 top I have M for middle and B for bottom just so everything goes back
together again exactly how we took it apart step is not necessary but it is
you know good that way you keep everything organized and after you label
them if you choose to go ahead and and pull out and you pull out it disconnects
just like that we have the bottom disconnected we have the middle
disconnected and now we have the top disconnected gray wires
okay sorry if I block it but there's no way to record and actually get in here
but we're gonna start unscrewing the bottom screws and the track with my left
hand
okay there's our first school and I'm just using a smaller screwdriver because
the big one I had it's definitely not gonna fit in there okay so I just
unscrewed this bottom one now it's time to unscrew this bottom
right one the next part is we're gonna have to loosen the right side which is
the ground wire I did loosen it up a little bit so now I could unscrew it
with my hands and so beside the Phillip Phillip screwdriver
you're gonna need you need a ratchet two hell's later so after a good little
while I finally got the long screw out of the heater element it is probably
twice as long as the regular screws that come throughout the dryer so be prepared
for that I think that was the hardest part just getting back there and
unscrewing it so I mean the best thing I came up with is one of these
contraptions right here because with the screwdriver it was way too long to get
back there even with the little screwdriver was long because there's a
little hump all the way in the back so I think that's why people remove the back
side of the of the dryer to get in there but I think it's easier from the front
just be aware this is going to be probably like the longest step that you
have so after you remove that long screw all the way in the back is just going to
be pulling out your your a heater element here straight out okay so I was
able to unhook the gray wire from here and the red ones I'm gonna go ahead and
unscrew them because we're gonna have to man to our new peace our new cedar
element so I'm just completed unscrewing more there at both red ones and then and
then we'll just screw them into the new the new and improved heater element okay
so after finagling with it for a little bit it is possible to go ahead and pull
it out without unscrewing these puppies right here so there you have it I'm
gonna unscrew it and let's take a look at what we got here okay so what I did
is I unscrewed this is back piece right here okay Wow so take a look all the
coils are messed up black burnt in the back I don't know if you could see all
that there was coils when I was taking it out pieces of coils the they were
just falling off so I mean you can see that there um so that's what we're gonna
do we're gonna replace it and hopefully it is gonna work like brand-new
okay so that was the old one this is a new one here I'm gonna have to reconnect
everything so now it's time for the fun part we're gonna reconnect everything
with the new heater element so like I said I'm not gonna be showing too much
of putting everything back is just doing everything reverse order if you have any
questions go ahead and leave those questions down in the comment box below
there you have it I put everything back together again exactly how it was now we
got to put the front cover on I'm gonna put the top on and then we're gonna do a
test run and see how it works course do not forget to plug it back in and cross
your fingers now you're not the crush your fingers here we go I just plugged
it in let's see if it works
voila it's working no more air calls no more East 64 if you like this video
