WEQ332HS0 Westinghouse Dryer - Instructions

Previous comments on line were so helpful.

My husband and son took the dryer apart by removing the top in order to get to the drum. Part of silver rim that the Drum Glide is attached to was broken,it had been cut somehow. They had to soder it back in place so they could attach the Drum Glide and so far it's working.

Felt- I just ordered one with the adhesive and removed the damaged section used a wire brush, applied the adhesive ( which was more than enough) waited a few minutes for the adhesive to set, applied the felt, attached binder clips to hold it in place while working on the Drum Glide. Really easy.

The new rotary knob just popped right in. No problems. It was a perfect fit.

we simply screwed the new one in place

The new motor from parts select was not correct. The new motor is a bolt on. The original motor was a press on. Had to return at a cost of 42.00 dollars. Had to buy a new dryer.

removed the top of dryer, pulled front panel back from drum and installed snubber(Front Drum guide).

When it comes to repairs the only thing that I can fix are sandwiches. To say that I am a handy man is usually followed by snickers from my wife and friends... However, I was able to completley take apart my dryer, replace the heating pan and coils, put it back together and it works all by myself (my wife was standing behind me with a fire estinguisher when I plugged it in for the 1st time). I took the advice of some of the post I saw on this sight and took some before shots with my camera phone and marked the wires with tape so I knew where to return them and was able to get it all done. I was suprised at how easy it was to do and how simple a dryer really is on the inside. Ordering the part and doing it myself saved me a couple of hundred dollars easy.... this was the way to go!

after numerous holes put in my families clothes i looked on line and found "partselect.com". i ordered the front drum glide after seeing a similar story about the clothes being torn and getting caught and my family and i have our new dryer back!! yeah :<)

Thanks to Justin in Customer Service I was able to get the correct replacement knob. It arrived and I installed it in seconds flat. It works great and you'd never know it wasn't original.

Thanks.

It was very easy, looked and found the right match and pulled off the broken one and pushed on the new one

Just pressed the knob on.

Took it out of the bag and put it on.

Simply popped it back into place, careful not to break the new handle.

Just put on the new knob! Supper easy and it works great!
