CATCH
★★★★★
★★★★★
(24)
Part #W11429587
This door catch Is an authentic OEM replacement part that is designed to fit with dryers. It is responsible for keeping the dryer door securely closed while it is running. When the door is closed, the catch engages with the door strike and snaps into place, holding the door shut until the drying cycle is completed. Over time the catch may become corroded, worn down, or damaged, or dislodged from frequent use and hard impact. If the catch is faulty, the door may be unable to remain shut. This can lead to heat loss, injury, and potential damage to the dryer itself. If the catch is no longer functional, it is recommended to replace it as soon as possible and avoid using your dryer until the repair is complete.

Aurora - For model number 4KNED4605FW0
December 16, 2024
The shaft and control knob broke off of the timer switch Can I replace the shaft and knob only? The timer works great
Chris Boyle Profile
Hi Aurora, thank you for your question! You can replace the control knob part number PS11757250, as it comes separately, but the timer shaft is a part of the dryer timer, part number PS11731366. You may need to replace it to fix the issue. We hope this solves your problem!

broken tumbler belt
145 of 165 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Michael from San Antonio, TX
  • Easy
  • 30 - 60 mins
  • Screw drivers, Wrench set
1. Removed the screws from the lint catcher
2. Removed the bolts from upper rear of dryer
3. Pried off the dryer top from the front (it rests on rear hinges)
4. Disconnected dryer door wiring
5. Removed bolt from inside upper front corners; removed front panel (be careful: the edges are sharp and the tumbler will fall when it loses support)
6. Removed broken belt and lint from interior parts; removed tensioner (which had fallen out of place). Note: The newer models have a tensioner pulley; my older model had a smooth semicircle that was confusing at first glance
7. Flipped dryer onto its back (for easier reinsertion of new belt and tumbler)
8. Placed new belt on tumbler; reinserted tumbler
9. Inserted new belt through tensioner, inserted tensioner "legs" into grooves on floor. Note: The belt will pull the tensioner upright when it's inserted properly (which isn't obvious at first)
10. Made sure belt and tumbler seal were properly installed
11. Replaced parts in reverse order
The process took over an hour because I couldn't figure out how to insert the belt through the tensioner. The trick is to insert the folded belt through the tensioner and onto the motor pulley. If I had to do it again, it would take about 30 minutes (including cleaning lint)

very loud squeeling sound
110 of 120 people found this instruction helpful.
  • jason from HOLDEN, MA
  • Really Easy
  • 30 - 60 mins
  • Socket set
The issue was the idler pulley. First I began opening up the front panel based on a youtube video but soon realized the model was slightly different and required a lot more items to remove. I saw the pulley in the back with nothing in the way so I put the front panel crap back on and removed the rear panel. There it was, very simple to re move and replace. I'm not looking forward to drum rollers though. Hopefully they're aren't as difficult as they appear.

Bought motor, then bought blower wheel also

  • Daniel from Coatesville, PA
  • Easy
  • More than 2 hours
  • Nutdriver, Screw drivers, Wrench (Adjustable)
couldn't get blower wheel off of the motor. really tight. rounded off the wheel's square hub while trying to hold it still as I turned the motor shaft out. No, I wasn't turning it the wrong way :) I ended up going to the back of the dryer and using the multimax to quickly cut the wheel away from the hub. I love that oscillating saw! Just for fun, I put the motor in a bench vise and got the wheel hub off (in pieces). VERY tight! Ordered new wheel, and the job was smooth sailing from there on. I am guessing that experienced repair people automatically order the motor and blower wheel at the same time(?) BTW both parts were perfect matches for the originals. Not surprised; this has always been my experience with partselect.com!
