Keep searches simple. Use keywords, e.g. "leaking", "pump", "broken" or "fit".
Dryer was squeeking for a while, and then eventually just quit working.
Took the top and the front panel off (took me a while to figure this out without breaking stuff). Took off belt, pulled out drum, replaced bearing, and then I also had to replace the ball (attached to rear of drum, which slides inside the bearing).

Dryer stopped working
What a mess. Partselect shipped the wrong part. I paid a technician to fix it, only to learn the part was wrong. I order the right part. I needed to send it back, reorder the same part, and pay for a second visit from the technician. The nice people at partselect gave me a $7 credit for costing me $200. Losers

Dryer runs but no heat
I first checked the heating element by peeking through the peek hole in the front to see if it was turning on. The heating element turned on but gas failed to flow. Next, I checked all sensors including the fuse, they were all fine. This points to the solenoid as the cause of the issue. So I replaced the solenoids and the problem solved. I did watch the YouTube video on how to check the sensors and replace faulty parts.

Lack of grease caused bearing to go out
I took the top and front off the dryer. I then took the screws out of the drum and removed the drum. I then took the old bearing out and put the new one in.

No heat
The wife complained of clothes not drying. Ordered a igniter without checking for exact cause to save time. When I was able to I took the top and front panels off. Unfortunately the igniter was fine. I ruled out the limits and igniter with a VOM meter. I quickly ordered the gas valve solenoids. After a quick delivery they were replaced with a screw driver and panels replaced. Works fine.
