drum not turning
Pretty easy, popped off the top of the dryer, removed 2 screws from the front cover and 2 wires for the door switch, there is the drum support and air exchanger, 3 phillips screws in the air exchanger, pull that out and 4 screws in the drum carrior, remove that and clean up drum, glue on seal, and reverse process.

Dryer would not heat!
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.

Dryer was making metal to metal grinding noise
Before tearing down unit the video on this site is very usefull. After removing tub noticed cylinder glides were worn out and tub had been rubbing glide bracket. Checked rollers on rear of tub and they seemed fine. The belt tension roller seemed stiff. One glide bracket was worn nearly thru. Replaced tension roller, glides and one glide bracket. Since I had unit pulled down replaced belt. Cleaned unit out good, re-assembled and wife happy. If you had tools and parts in hand you could do job in an hour.

Dryer not turning on.
Researched the common problem with "dryer not turning on", and tested the top three problems. Removed the dryer front casing and door, unbolted front dryer plate. Used a volt meter on two of the temp gauges, which were fine. Removed the upper back plate of the dryer to the wiring for the knobs and buttons. Used the volt meter on the dryer start button, which was also fine. Went back around to the front and removed the door switch. Tested it with the volt meter and bingo. Replaced that part, dryer works like normal.

"Unusual Noise"
I wook with tools on my job so I thought I might be able to complete this repair. I viewed the repair video on Partselect's web site and dicided to "GO FOR IT" (after all the dryer was already broke). The dryer noise had to be a moving part so I ordered two drum support rollers, one idler pulley wheel and one belt. If I was going to open the unit up I decided I would not leave an old moving part only to have trouble later. The total parts were less then fifty dollars, so if this did not fix it I would not be out a bundle that could have been applied on a new unit. I was not willing to invest more in the aging unit (ex: motor). The parts arrived in less then three working days. The dryer in the video was a differnt model then mine so I had difficulty removing the front. After the actual repairs got started I had it back together in about two hours. I believe one of the Drum support rollers was the problem I could not reproduce the noise by hand during repairs so I was not sure that was the problem. But one of the drum rollors was not turning as free as the other and niether of them turned as well as the new ones. I marked the wires as instructed in the video for easy replacement. My repair time maybe longer then most as I did this repair on my own. After restoring the power and pushing the start button the noise was gone :) making the dryer a much quieter unit.

Motor hummed but would turn with assistance
Lived with operating the dryer by helping spin the drum and then closing the door quick for a couple weeks. Replaced the roller, etc, but when that didn't do it, I ordered the motor. The motor replacement wasn't too tricky. The tricky part was that I initially tried to replace it in the dryer to save time or effort. Take everything apart that comes apart, including the vent fan attached to the motor. Get the motor on the floor in front of you, snap it in place and put it all back together. Not too difficult.

Dryer worked but did not heat
Followed troubleshooting steps. Checked thermal fuse (shorted)- OK. Checked igniter (about 70 ohms) - OK. checked flame sensor - (open) BAD (should read shorted). This part is normally shorted then opens when the igniter gets hot causing it to open and thus turns on the gas flow. An open flame sensor does not permit the igniter to turn on.
