no heat in the dryer
this could not have been easier. after replacing the heating element, i discovered the dryer was not heating at all, so it made sense to replace the thermostat located in the same housing as the heating element. the new thermostat had an extra connection, i guess to accommodate newer models, but was not applicable to mine, so it said just to ignore it, strip and attach the new lead (supplied with the thermostat). these parts and instructions are very concise, and very complete. in short, my dryer works like brand new again! i would use these folks again in a minute!

door would no longer catch when shut
Having read the instructions and watched the tape, I pried out the remaining catch with a flat screwdriver, read about what the color scheme on the parts wasbout and pushed in the correct part. Voila ! Done in probably two minutes.(By an 82 year old woman!)

Washer/Dryer would not start
Neither the washer or the dryer of the stacked unit would start. The website suggested that one of the causes could be the thermostat. I ordered a replacement that arrived quickly. Swapping the part only took minutes, and it started just fine.

door would open during drying cycle and shut off machine
Got online with parts select, easily found the parts needed and ordered them. They arrived very quickly. The repair itself took all of 5 minutes and now the dryer door stays shut like it is supposed to. Only complaint is shipping was more than the parts but then again, I didn't waste a lot of time running all over town looking for what I needed. So, in the long run I saved money , especially when compared to a calling someone else to fix it.(big bucks for even the most minor service call as you all know).

The dryer sounded like a thrashing machine.
I consulted the internet and found Part Select and use online repairman to diagnose the problem and found the roller solution with the parts, video and parts illustration. Sure enough, the left roller hole was worn and egg shaped. I ordered the parts on a Wednesday afternoon. While I waited, I got all the lint from the bottom pan, motor, and around the burner cleaned out and ready for the new parts. The parts arrived Friday morning and I installed them and put the dryer back together before noon. The dryer works and sounds like a new machine. Now I am ready to attack the squeaky fan motor in the freezer compartment of our refrig.
