Dryer door cable broken
1. Remove the lint filter. Then remove 2 screws at the lint filter housing.
2. At the back of the dryer, remove 2 screws that restrain the hinges for the dryer top. Do NOT remove the hinges.
3. Remove the front lower access panel. It snaps at the top and hinges at the bottom. It can be slipped off the hinges.
4. Remove 2 screws at the bottom of the main front panel
5. The front of the dryer top is held in place by two plastic clips. Use a flat blade screwdriver (with a rag wrapped around the tip to minimize paint damage) to pry the top up at each front corner. Then tilt the top up to just past vertical. You now can see the top of the spring that is connected to the door cable.
6. Open the dryer door. Use a putty knife to pry up the plastic plug that holds the cable in place at the door. Remove the old cable from the door and insert the new one. Be sure the cable end without a hole goes into the dryer door. Replace the plastic plug.
7. Feed the new cable through the main front panel and close the door.
8. Loosen but do NOT remove two screws that hold the main front panel to each side panel. Tilt the bottom of the front panel out about 2 inches.
9. Working through the gap between the main front panel and the side, hook the spring into the hole in the cable end.
10. Working through the open top and the gap on the side, move the spring+cable up to the top. Pass the upper end of the spring through the rectangular hole in the top of the main front panel and hook the end into the small hole there.
11. Repeat for other cable as needed.
12. Reassemble all parts. You may need to hold the top of the drum up as you move the main front panel back into place. Install the main front panel lower screws before tightening the upper screws.
Removed the screws holding the dryer door together and pushed the plastic pin out that the cable end went through. removed the screws at the dryer filter then popped up the top. put the cable through the door and then reached down with the door spring and went through the hole in the cable end, fastened the spring and pushed back down the top and replaced all screws. job complete. the hardest part was getting the spring through the small hole on the cable end but with a little patience and persistance it was accomplished.
1) Unplug power cable from dryer. 2) Remove the 2 screws that secure the chute for lint filter screen with Phillips head screwdriver. 3) Remove the lint filter screen. 4) Depress plastic locking clip on each side with putty knife to release tension and lift up top panel to clear the locking clips. Each locking clip is located 2-1/2 inches from the front edge of side panel. 5) Lift the top panel and lean against the wall for support. If dryer top panel cannot be raised all the way due to cabinet(s) above, tape the dryer top panel to cabinet above or have somebody hold the top panel for temporary support. 6) Install the new metal locking clips. Ensure that the elongated tab of the metal locking clip is towards the front of dryer. Compress locking clip lightly with pliers and push down into the hole. 7) Lower the dryer top panel and press it down in place over the metal locking clips for a tight fit. 8) Reinstall the 2 screws to secure the lint filter chute. 9) Reinstall lint filter screen. 10) Reconnect power cable for dryer. 11) Turn on dryer and inspect that all dryer panels (top, sides and front) are tight and secured.

I removed 2 screws to the lint trap, popped top of dryer with a flat screwdriver but did not remove it I just raised it and leaned it against the wall. I removed 2 screws from the top of the inside front panel,then I hooked the new cables to the springs that are on either side of the front panels at the top. I then pulled the panel forward just enough to fit my hand and thread the cables through the holes that are on the front panel that lead to the door, I had already popped out 2 plastic caps that go inside the door on both sides.I then treaded the cables inside each hole and snapped the caps back on.
