KEYE679BBL1 KitchenAid Dryer - Instructions

After finding the PartSelect website I entered the model number of the dryer and clicked on the link that was part of the trouble shooting feature that took me to a list of possible failed parts showing the percentile figures for how often each part was the culprit. The highest percentage replacement part was the heating element. I watched the video, removed the heating element and confirmed it was at fault. Broken coil wire. Ordered and replaced part. Was a little confused by reconnecting thermostat but watched video on that specific part replacement and successfully repaired dryer.

Disconnect power! Remove vent hose. Removed back panel. Disconnect plugs from high temp sensor (2nd hardest part) - remember which one goes where. Remove old heating unit held in with hex-head screws. Remove high temp sensor from heating unit (hardest part). Reinstall High-temp sensor into NEW heating element. Install new heating element assembly into dryer (snug fit). Reconnect electrical connections. Reconnect exhaust. Test to ensure functions properly - success! Uninstall exhaust & install back panel. Install exhaust vent. While it was open, I vacuumed it out, as well as the exhaust vent.

Watched the repair video on part-select. Pulled the top of the dryer up after removing the lint trap screws.removed screws at top, inside both sides and then lifted front off. Slipped belt over drum and ran through tensioner and around motor shaft. Put dryer back together in reverse order. Simple.

Removed the old fuse and replaced with the new fuse. Of course, I had to remove the back of the dryer but very easy and the cost was less than $20.00. Definitely worth it because we did not have the money for a new dryer. PartSelect.com is awesome!

When the part came in my husband was not home and I figured I could put this part on myself. I took the part downstairs, used the nut driver to remove one screw, took the two wires off the old therma fuse, put the wires on the new therma fuse, and screwed the new therma fuse onto the back of the dryer. It really couldn't have been any easier.

Remove the back panel, then remove the housing around the blower, just slide the housing of to the side, you don't have to take it completly of the machine. Remove the top, and remove the front until you can get to the blower motor. Cut the blower wheel plastic down to the metal nut with a fine blade in a recipricating saw, used a bi-directional broken stud remover socket on the nut that was at the center of the blower wheel and large slip joint plyer on the other end of the shaft. Replace the wheel and put back together. It took about as much time to gather up the tools as it did to fix it.,

took of the back , took out the drying coil ,put the other in , but back on . now it works saved alot of money. love it. Thank you parts select.

This has happened several times to my KitchenAid dryer. It cost more than $100 to bring someone in to repair. Fortunately, I saved my bills and saw the part "thermal fuse" listed. I researched that and found your website. I couldn't believe how easy it was to fix. The part cost less than $15 and the diagrams you provided were a big help. I was about to purchase a new dryer, easily $500. Your site saved me a bunch of money. How I fixed? Unscrewed the back panel of the dryer. Found a part that resembled the part you sent me. Slipped it out. Put the new one in...that is it. I also figured that one reason the part keeps burning out is because my duct has to bend to get to the outside vent. The obstruction probably causes the dryer to overheat more often than not. I pulled the dryer 6 inches more away from the wall to see if that helps. My fuse was going out about every 2 years.

Was working fine one load and not the next. I remembered we had used this site for our dishwasher so gave it a try. Went with most common problem first. Ordered Sun rec'd Tues. Took longer to vacuum the back of dryer then it did to replace the fuse. Cost less than 30 bucks including shipping. Video was cool too.

i still cant get it to start i keep having that 06 code revision after i ran the diagnostic i replace the thermistor right after that the dryer start but only dry one load and wont start again then i replace the thermal fuse still not working i order the door switch hopefully that might do it

Previous consumer help advised to check the Thermal Fuse. A quick check using an ohm meter or simply connecting the leads together, confirmed that the Fuse was open and bad. The other essential item is to clean & vacuum all lint from all other dryer parts on the top, drum & back of the dryer. Be sure to also perform a check of the Cycling Thermostat, located near the Thermo Fuse. This is not a difficult repair. Just be sure to disconnect the 220 V and the circuit breaker. A $9 fuse was better than the cost of a repairman or new dryer. Barry Burke, Cincinnati, Ohio.

Exactly as described by the video.

1) Unplug the unit. 2) Loosen the vent clamp and remove the vent hose. 3) Remove the back cover using either a nut driver or ratchet and socket. 4) Disconnect the wires using a needle nose pliers and remove the screws holding the Heating Element Module in place then remove the heating element module. 5) Remove the Hight Temp Limit Switch from the Heating Element Module. 6) Replace the Heating Element Module and re-assemble the unit by following steps 1 - 5 in the reverse order. Watch the video - it is much simpler than reading and understanding these steps!

Awesome Experience. The Video on 'How To Install' was so easy . Will come back to this site fro any and all repairs. Thanks so much.
