Keep searches simple. Use keywords, e.g. "leaking", "pump", "broken" or "fit".
I shut the door too hard, and the old latch fell down into the inside of the dryer.

Dryer making scrubbing noise while running
This is a front load dryer. First unbolt top cover of dryer. Then unbolt screws and connections to control panel. Next unbolt all screws holding dryer door and front bottom panel. Next take belt off of drum and slide out drum from the front. From inside of drum remove 3 screws and remove bearing then put new bearing on and bolt up the same way you take old one off. Using an 8mm socket or wrench remove plastic bearing cage located at rear of dryer. When unbolting there is a retaining clip and small steel ball to be removed from back of dryer. Replace this the same way you take it off. He sure to grease the bearing cage then replace everything back from putting the drum in first to your last step bolting on top cover of dryer. Hope this helps anyone doing this repair.

high pitch squeeling
My 15 yoa son repaired the dryer. It took him a little while, but it works great. I ordered the bottom drum seal and when he pulled it apart the top seal was more worn than the bottom, but he made it work. I would suggest changing them both.

Broken belt
Many thanks for the video you guys put together on replacing dryer belts! I didn't know how I was going to get inside the dryer. I had the dryer apart in 10 minutes! Had to wait a day for the belts to come in. New belt in and dryer running in 15 minutes! Thanks for running a first class operation!! Jim

Broken belt; Second one in 2-years.
I heard the dryer running, but I didn't hear it tumbling like usual, so I got suspicious. I popped the top off of the dryer to reveal a broken belt. Installation took 20 minutes.

Dryer lint trap was falling apart
I just changed the lint trap. the amazing thing was that I ordered the part one afternoon to be delivered USPS and figured I wouldn't see it for weeks. BAM! the next day I got this part in the mail. it was kinda weird. Are you guys living in my basement?

dryer tripped the circuit breaker
disconnected the dryer; cleaned the duct. I reconnected everything and started it up again and within seconds tripped the breaker.Decided probably the thermal limiter was faulty, so ordered new one from you. After it arrived I watched video, then removed the top and front, pulled drum to give me some workroom, replaced the limiter, reassembled in reverse order.I then reset the breaker, plugged the dryer in. Runs perfect.The drum was a challenge - so I used a wooden wedge to support from the front and opened the 12 by 12 rear port to access and reset the pulley cable assembly.
