Please do not buy parts from Parts Select. My order was not shipped the next day (as advertised on the web site), but instead 3 days later. I paid an extra couple of dollars for expedited shipping, which did made no difference (except for a couple of extra dollars for Parts Select to pocket).

When I emailed customer service to complain, I never received any response. I can't believe that customer service can be so unimportant in such a competitive marketplace. And with the power of social media, you would think customer service would be a big differentiator.

I ended having to buy another part (the igniter). I found a different vendor with better prices and a commitment to satisfying customers. I got my part in 3 days for cheaper shipping than the starting point of Parts Select shipping. So I guess I should thank Parts Select for forcing me to look elsewhere because I found a better place with better prices and better shipping and better customer service! Read more...

Kenmore Dryer Filter Spring

PartSelect Number PS4206844

Manufacturer Part Number DC61-02740A

Installation Instructions

Jeremy from BARDSTOWN, KY

The original cover filter was broken so I had to replace it and needed a new spring as well

It started off as supposed to be 5 minute job but took about 4 and a half hours (most of the time was vacuuming and cleaning the lint from inside the dryer as there was a lot of dryer lint built up including on the heater coils which the lint was charred black. So I went to install the cover filter and spring like in the video but my finger are larger so the spring fell off the ear/tab and fell down into the lint trap chute and into the flywheel that turns the drum so I had to remove the top and front of the dryer to retrieve the spring. That’s when I found even more lint but in the process of removing the front of the dryer I noticed one single screw holding the rear lint cover onto the dryer and so I removed that and pulled it out then with that rear cover in my hand I installed the cover filter and spring then reinstalled it. The video shows you to only remove the 3 screws to remove the front cover and then to stick your hands in the tight space and get the small spring and cover filter on and snap them into place. But if after you pull out the front cover then you will see a screw in the middle on the front side of the drum that is the the only thing holding g the rear cover in place just unscrew that and remove that cover and then you can replace the spring and cover filter and then you can put it back in and screw it back into place and then you won’t run the risk of dropping the spring down the chute like I did. If I did this trick it would have only taken me within 2 minutes to change the part...on a side note after finding all the lint I did, I would recommend taking the front and back of the dryer off and getting in there with a vacuum and cleaning it out once every year or two which will save you from a potential fire.

Installation Instructions

john from owego, NY

clothes got caught , burned and ripped on front of drum

I felt ,if I was going to replace the top drum glide and lower basket seal, I might as well replace the belt ,bearing assembly and the idle pulley assembly and avoid having to replace these sooner than later. All of the parts showed alot of wear and the belt like all drive belts, should be changed every 5-6 years.
DISCONNECT ELECTRICITY and GAS LINES
1.popped top by pushing and prying at front /top clips about 2-3in. in from side edges. lifted it off
2. removed the front panel by removing the 2 top front screws from the inside, then the two lower screws from the front after removing the small white plastic hole covers. disconnected the multiplug electric connector top right. set panel aside.
3.remove small back panel.and loosened belt.(observe belt path and idle pulley assy.
4. lifted drum and slid it out the front.
5. using socket, removed rear plastic bearing housing and replaced the same. be careful of observing the small ball bearing and the small piece on outside back panel. replace the same. you wil probably need a second set of hands to hold the piece on the outside when screwing in the screws from the inside.
6. unscew the "bearing" from the rear of the drum and replace with new one.(the screws are self-tapping and go in HARD!!)
7. apply lubricant liberally to plastic bearing holder
8. place new belt around drum(rubber side against drum cloth side out.
9. idle pulley assy. is removed by removing spring and just sliding assy out of holder. replace with new
10. replace drum and belt
11. take front panel and remove top drum glide and lower basket seal.( i marked where the two seal/glide come together with a marker )
12. scrape and remove as much felt and possible. I then used "goo gone" to remove all the glue. clean well and using the provided high temp adhesive reattached glide and seal.
13. reassemble and enjoy your NEW? dryer Read more...
