3CEP2910DW0 Whirlpool Dryer - Instructions

after process of elimination ,figured had to be cut off switch followed simple instructions also watched your video..simple repair up and working again approx. 30 min. once i had kit. thanx 4 the help MIKE

I watched the video several times to make sure I got it right. The first thing that was very helpful was how to disassemble the top cover and front panel using a putty knife to disengage the detents. With the cover off I could acccess the belt and idler pulley. Replacing the belt was fairly easy as long as you note the way it threads through the idler pulley and drive pulley. I thought the video was excellent. It took me right to the problem and the fix. As a bonus the price for the belt was much lower from Parts Supply then from Sears. I've recommended this site to several others.

First I purchased the heating element, still no heat. Then I purchased the thermal fuse,still no heat. I have been pleased with the prompt shipment of the parts and the parts arrived safe. Thank you for service and time, not sure what to do now.I will recommend PartSelect to friends.

I watched your video on how to replace the fuse.Wow it was a lot easier than I thought.I would highly reccomend anyone to watch the video before even trying to do any repairs.The dryer is working like a new one.By doing it myself saved me a lot of money.Thank you

Removed two screws at the top, removed two screws for the front panel, removed the broken belt, installed the new belt, followed the directions that were in the new belt package, and replaced all the panels and tested. It worked.

Removed the broken actuator and replaced with the new one. The time to replace the dryer door switch actuator took about 5 minutes.By the way, I purchased the dryer in 1965 and it works as if it was brand new. Thank you Kenmore for a lifetime dryer.

Just as in the video. Sounds like new. Had to feel it to make sure it was running.

It took longest to take apart and test to see which part was bad. I had never done it before. Got it apart and used the drawings on Parts Select to find location of parts. Testing only few minutes found bad thermostat.Ordered parts, and they came in 1 1/2 days. I replaced both thermostats being they were in the kit. Actual repair took maybe 15 minutes. Vacuumed out everything I could. Took lint trap out a vacuumed. Put it back together, plugged it in, heated like new. All time told I would say little over hour.

two screws on filter housing and then lift dryer to up like the hood of a car the two screws on actuator, be careful not to drop actuator, if you do use a magnet to retrieve, two screws back in then wire clip top of dryer down and two screws back into filter housing and your ready to dry clothes, not recommended but if you have to dry clothes while waiting for part a clamp on the switch will allow you to use dryer, but be extremely careful because dryer will not turn off when door is opened

Replaced Thermal Fuse

Your website was wonderful--thank you so much! When I saw that 47% of the time this was the problem, I ordered it & it worked! This was a life saver for me! I will come back to this site anytime I have an appliance problem! Thanks again!

This was replace the old worn out limt filter with a new limt filter effort. Not a difficult repair. I would call it a remove and replace job.

I would like to thank the people who created this site. My husband recently passed away from stage 4 esophageal cancer. We only knew he had it for five weeks before he passed. With the medical bills he left behind, I really could not afford to buy a new dryer or hire anyone to fix mine. I do not remember how I found Parts Select but I'm thrilled I did. I first used an ohm meter to find the defective part. Then I followed the step by step video and was able to completely fix my dryer in about an hour. Changing the connectors on the thermal cut-off was a bit of a challenge for me but I managed. I also changed the switch on the door which allows the dryer to shut off when the door is opened. I am truely grateful for this site and will highly recommend it to all my friends and family.

removed old lint filter by hand and replaced with new one.

I went to parts select website to find out how to repair it myself because when I took the heating coil off I could tell just by looking at it that it was not broke or cracked in anyway so I went to the website to get an idea of how to start diagnosing were the real problem actually was and I found everything I needed from step by step instructions to diagrams and symptom diagnosis and actual pictures of the parts themselfs.
