My dryer would run but not heat and the timer would not advance. PartSelect helped me determine that the heating element needed to be replaced. I have very little experience with appliance repair. I found this to be challenging but well worth it.

Hardest part was rustling up the proper screw driver. 1) Unplug dryer from outlet. 2) Pull plastic knobs off all switches. 3) Remove screws and remove control panel. 4) Remove rotary switch by gently prying up on hold-down arm and twisting entire switch mechanism. 5) Remove wires one at a time and attach to corresponding spade lugs on new switch. 6) Install switch and twist into place. 7) Replace panel. 8) Replace control knobs. Under 20 minutes.

First dis connect from power sourse remove knob and the four screws that secure that instrument panel from machine.With a simple twist removed the defective switch,inserted new switch, transfered wires from old switch to new, replaced the panel and knob, reconnected power cord and it's done. Total time for this repair was less than ten minutes.

new handle just popped right in the slots

After unplugging the dryer, I removed the rear cover of the control area by removing 3 phillips screws on the back of the dryer - There is also a lower small panel that will come out along with the rear control panel cover during this operation. Next I removed 4 T20 Star type screws on the top painted edge of the control panel. The panel then tilted forward allowing good access to the start switch. I removed the switch from the panel WITHOUT taking off the wires as I wanted to verify that I was getting the wires transfered correctly. Both the new and old switch have number designations by the connection terminals. Once I had transfered the wires to the new switch by associating the numbers on the switch. The terminal with two wires has a little adapter that comes out with the two wires. I placed the new switch into the hole on the control panel, gave it a twist to engage the holding clips and when rotated into place, the switch "clicked" as it locked the little arm that sticks out of the side of the switch into place. Reassembly of the panels was easy, just put the panels back into place and torque down the screws and replace the control knob. Even though I had to purchase a set of stardrivers to complete this repair, the whole repair process ran only $30.00 and I ended up owning a set of star-screwdrivers. The last time Mr. Repairguy was here it ran over $200.00! Also, the documentation offered by Parts Select made locating and getting access to the switch fairly easy.

Replace the knob with new one

Had to tap three holes in the rear bearing to match the three attachment screws. Screw up with the part.

it was easy, it clip right on.needed to give it a little tap to get it in .

when dryer was taken apart it was discovered the belt and the skides needed to be replaced as well. The parts arrived however, I did not know only 1 glide was ordered and sent. It was assumed they would have come with as many you needed; did not realize they were charged indivdually. The repair was pretty much easy. The dryer is now heating correctly and this has been the first repacement of parts I've had to do in the amount of time of I've had the dryer. Parts Select had everything I needed and it was shipped in a timely manner. I was very pleased.

The actual repair was simple, however, I initially ordered the wrong part. The exchange to the correct part was very easy and delivery was quite quick. I will use Part Select in the future when ordering a part for a simple repair.

Unplugged the dryer. Removed the top hood with a phillips screwdriver. Twisted out the old starter. Unplugged the connectors on the starter (they were not in the same location as the new starter but were numbered so I kept the numbers consistent. Put the new starter in and plugged in the connectors. Plugged in the machine - hit the "on" button and viola! Easy cheesy lemon squeezy.

Watched parts select video. Removed door screws. Pulled door off. Removed top screws. Pulled top off. Disconnected wires. Removed light bulb which broke. Removed drum bearing. Used pliers to remove the remaining part of the broken light. Put in new drum bearing. Installed drum bearing slides. Two are recommended. Put the dryer back together. The noise has stopped.

Doesn't get any easier. Lined up the D shape on dryer and timer knob and just popped it in. Working great. I wanted to comment on the super fast shipping. I have never had anything ordered and delivered to my home so fast. It took less than 24 hours to get to my door from the time I ordered it and we chose just the regular ground shipping. Amazing!

took out old one and replaced it with the new one,took seconds
