Dryer running but no heat
Removed front lower panel as shown in how to do video, removed two screws from heating element bracket and pulled the whole tube that holds heating element and thermo cut off and thermostat. Used OHM meter to check out heating element, thermal cut out and thermostat. Thermal cut out was the only thing bad but replaced both thermostats as recommended. The most time was taken cleaning out cabinet as it had eleven years of lint and very lucky it never caught on fire over the years. Put all back together and dryer now dries clothes in half the time as before.

No dryer light, and dryer would shutdown randomly
ordered a replacement light - took about 5 minutes, hardest part was disconnecting power and getting into the dryer replace light. The second part was replacing the dryer switch. This took a bit longer, but was completed. The plastic locks on the top were a little different than the video, but once I saw how the one worked (one side popped open very easily) the other one just took a bit of nudging and opened easily too. Now that I have done this, I am not afraid of working on it for other issues. Great helpful site. They will have my business for other repairs.

no heat when drying clothes
My husband changed the part but part select was very helpful. With their free repair help site it made repairing a breeze! We will use parts select again and again. I did order all the parts we might have needed and only needed one. Now I will return the others.

Dryer would not start
I unplugged the dryer, removed the vent pipe, moved the dryer out to remove the back to get at the wiring and the thermostat's. Used the volt-ohmmeter to check for bunt out fuses and thermostats. The thermal fuse was out. If that part burns out there is trouble with one or all of the other safety devises, which is hard to check, so I replaced all 4 of heat controls. It was easy and now I do not have to worry about the dryer over heating. Thank you for your suggestion on what might be wrong and how to fix it. Claude Riley P.S.The time stated does not count the time getting the parts-7 days shipping time
