YG20JN2 Magic Chef Dryer - Instructions

Checked heating element and it glowed so I replaced the ceramic gas valve regulators. 4 screws to take front off the dryer and 2 screws to replace part. Couldn't have been easier but I wouldn't have been able to do it without watching the video first.

First I check the conduction with a voltmeter of thermal fuse, high limit thermostate and the swith door. The thermal fuse was broked, I order the high limit kit for replace the fuse and the high limit thermostate too. I open the dryer using putty knift on the front. With screw driver uninstall the high limit thermostate and the heat wire to access at thermal fuse. Note that thermal fuse have white wires and the high limit thermostate have red wires. I install all back and my dryer work again. I recommend before close the dryer, vaquium all inside dryer. It was very easy. To me help very much the video that you show.

I used a putty knife to push in clips to lift the top of the dryer off to gain access to the thermal fuse and the high limit device. The thermal fuse was close to the top and easy to do. The high limit part was a little further down the back side of the dryer and a little harder to get to, but watching the video online helped a lot. The most important part was fixing the root cause of the dryer. Lint. I empty the lint tray every single time I dry a load, however, after removing the front panel, I found 12 years of lint packed into the channel. (You may want to do this BEFORE your dryer goes out.) After removing the lint and replacing the parts the dryer works like new again, and it only took about 30 minutes! I am a 57 year old woman so if I can do this anyone can. The best part was that I ordered my part on a Tuesday morning and it was delivered the very next day! Great service!

Replaced it.

Unplugged the dryer, popped the top open, removed the old fuses and installed the new ones. Even removed the front panel & vacuumed out all the built up lint that had caused the fuses to blow. The video available on your site showing how to make the repair was excellent. Showed me everything I needed to know.

Repair was easy once I figured out how to open the panels (that took some doing since some online videos had me looking for screws rather than just using a puddy knife or flat head screwdriver to release the top cover... no screws). Once opened up, it was easy to find the thermastat and hi-limit parts, as well as the coils. Replacement is simple using phillips head screwdriver.

I put in the symptoms and was told that 66% of the time it was the high limit thermostat and fuse. I ordered the part and watched the instruction video. The configuration of the dryer was exactly as shown in the video so the installation went very smooth. The dryer has been working perfectly ever since.

I went on this site and started to search for possible parts that I thought I could change out that would make my dryer run after having changed out my time that wasn't broken (lol). I stubbled across the section that had troubleshooting tips on it . Wow I couldn't believe my dryer was on there!!! So I looked at the number 1 problem most people had with this model dryer and it was the high limit kit. So I figured for $22.00 what would it hurt so I ordered it and it got to me in 2-3 days and it was soooooooooo easy to change . I couldn't believe I was thinking of buying a new dryer . My old dryer has been drying clothes ever since and no problems . I owe it all to this site . Thanks guys at partselect and everyone else out there that took the time and left comments . It saved me $500.00 that I didn't have to spend after the holidays . You guys are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

I drilled two holers in the side of the cabinet 1 inch apart. I put them at the same height as the tensioner spring. I put the string through 1 hole and around the tensioner. I pulled the string through the other hole and had my son hold the tensioner back while I reached in and lined up the belt on the tensioner while my son let out the string slowly.

took old filter out and installed new one. It was a little tight but it's working great.

the switch was the problem so i change out both switches you sent me and my wife was very very happy when the dryer started working again thank you for all your help i will be back with any other problems

Open lid as seen on the video instructions..flat screwdriver is fine ..just make sure u pull up the lid hard since it might be a little tough to lift....follow same instructions as the video, however only part I have to tweak is...it's hard to unplug the socket to the fuse so just use flat screwdriver to losses the connectors so that u can pull it out easily...

After getting on-line to your site we looked up what the problem could be after receiving the dryer from a friend to transfer from electric to gas to save money. First we thought it to be the ignitor and after receiving it so quickly it still didn't work so went to your site again and found the Flame sensor. They were both defective and now it works wonderful!!! Your site also explains what and how to repair the appliance, which my husband appreciated! We are glad you contacted us because your site did not show that we could send you and e-mail Thanking your company for the excellant service we received. Your prices can't compare to other companies either, we were amazed on the differences. When you say the next day delivery, you mean the next day!!! Thankyou and you are now in my Favorites if ever needing parts for other appliances we own.

Easy on Kenmore Performa Dryer, order the High Limit Kit, it got here in 3 days. Unplug from wall, use flathead screwdriver to pop up the top; then look for the High Limit just behind the drum and the smaller fuse below that one on the right. Best to have smaller hexagon ratchet, and be careful not to drop them behind the drum. When you undo the high limit, use needle nose pliers to pull of the contacts from it. Then just attach as you disconnected, be sure you know which was which. Then remove the old smaller one, it can be tricky, and install new one. Then just close up the top, plug it in and it should start right up. Have replaced this every few years, easy and affordable.
