You’ll notice a brand new feature in the Search Bar at the top of each Sears PartsDirect webpage on our site.

We’ve made it easier for you to find DIY repair help for your appliance or product by adding Symptoms to drop-down results as you key numbers and/or letters into the Search Bar.

When you see a Symptom that matches the problem that you’re fixing, click on that Symptom result to get DIY advice on diagnosing and fixing the problem.

For example, Symptoms for a query such as a Dryer will appear when you key in a term search.

Click on Why won’t my dryer heat (symptom) from the drop-down when keying in “Dryer” and you’ll go to this page that provides DIY repair help for a dryer that isn’t heating:

Dryer: Why won't my dryer heat?

Whether you have a gas dryer or an electric dryer, we provide practical troubleshooting tips to help you fix a dryer that isn’t heating.

Our Gas dryer won't heat troubleshooting video referenced in the Dryer Not Heating Symptom has been viewed nearly a million times by DIY enthusiasts.

Many DIY’ers post success stories in the comments on that video.

Take advantage of the expert advice that we provide for dryers and other appliances on our Sears Parts Direct YouTube channel.

Find repair help for all types of appliances, lawn & garden equipment and other products on our Sears PartsDirect Repair Help page.

Our DIY troubleshooting advice helps you find out which part needs replacing to fix your appliance. Sears PartsDirect offers millions of replacement parts, making it easy to find the right part for your model.
