Would Not Turn On
We ordered the part and I remember coming to this website and reading the reviews. So when my husband came home we pulled out the dryer and we unscrewed the back of the top plate. We then took the needle nose pliers totake the wire off which there are three of them just remember when changing the switch where the red wire goes instead of going uotop it goes on the bottom. After that we were done and I would say that it took about 15 minutes. When doing this make sure unplug the dryer before you do anything.

The cheap plastic inside the knob keeps cracking, causing the knobs not to grab the metal piece that turns the dryer on.
The knobs keep breaking. This is the 2nd set of knobs installed. The third set on the dryer total and it is less than 5 years old. Installation is very easy. Take off old knob and put new one on lining up as needed. If you are reading this before you purchase the knobs, you may want to go ahead and buy two b/c you are likely to have this issue again. Buying a second one now could save you money on shipping and save you time on waiting for the knob in the mail when it breaks again.

Would not start
Replaced the start switch and knob..first of all I unplugged the dryer (this is a must when replacing electrical components) then I took the two screws off the back of the dryer top cover and turned the start switch in a counter clockwise fashion. It popped off, then I unplugged the 4 wires and plugged into the new start switch. I then turned the switch onto the clips in the opposite fashion and it clicked into place. I then put the cover back on, replaced the two screws, pushed the knob onto the start switch, plugged the dryer back in and it started right up.

Squeaking
Drum slide slots had worn so bad that i needed to replace the whole thing. I had already taken it apart before to change drum slides and knew it was a matter of time before the whole bearing was going to need to be replaced.

Dryer Would Not Turn On
The knob would not turn on the dryer which was less than 2 years old. I took the knob off and notice that the inside was plastic and was cracked. I went online and was able to find the PartSelect website. I ordered on Sunday and the knobs were delivered on Tuesday. My dryer is working. I was very pleased with the service that I got from PartSelect.

I checked out YouTube and found some really helpful videos from various appliance guys. The parts came fast and I knocked out the repairs in about an hour. Replacing the front and rear bearings was a breeze and no more squealing. Just like new
