79690518900 Kenmore Dryer - Instructions

The lint screen that this company sent was 3x too large. I called to return/exchange it. No one available - go to customer service.
I went to customer service and entered my email address and the order number (while I was looking at the original order1). The email and order number could not be found.

I am still waiting to hear from someone from the company to get a RMA and return label! Will NEVER use this company again.

Replaced idle pulley wheel, worn drum belt and all 4 rollers (1 frozen) due to dryer age. Site video re general disassembly/re-assembly easily adapted to this model and very helpful with exception of replacement of drum rollers. New rollers received (AGM75510755) were pre-mounted on included shafts. This required removal of existing roller shafts to replace with new shaft/roller units. Site video shows placing a new roller on existing shafts after removing a plastic retaining clip. New roller/shaft assembly is a better option and fortunately I did not order extra retainer clips! Rear drum roller shafts have small carved out space to fit a box end wrench to remove shaft nut. Watch out for sharp edges on internal steel parts!

Could not do repair since the parts that I ordered were different from the picture on this site. I have emailed them to which they replied with one email asking for some info. I sent that to them and have not heard anything back in the last 3 weeks. I have even sent reminder emails and still nothing. I can't use my dryer due to damaging clothing and can't replace parts due to being the wrong part. Partselect is not very good at getting answers for their customers. Expert repair help is something i don't think they have. Getting some answers would go a long way but i feel like i have been left in the dark.

When manufacturer confirmed the part would fit without an adapter, it was the easiest DIY task ever undertaken.

There’s all sorts of videos on it I watched. It was actually very simple

Part showed up in 2 days and repair took 2 min. Very easy. Thank you!!

Followed the instruction on video.was great after three parts now is OK .we have heat.still cheaper than having it service.

Removed cover replaced bulb

Unscrew the screw, remove old part, place in new part, replace screw and you are done.

I took the dryer apart. You have to take the top off, then the door/front off. There are wires & other parts that need to be unhooked as well. A flat tip screw driver can be used to pop the top off. The screws were all phillips. Once you take that all apart, then you can access the drum. I bought the belt because I thought that was what was wrong with it. Turned out to be hair in the drum rollers. Took those all off & put wheel grease on each of them, put new belt on (since I had it LOL) then put it all back together. Make sure everything is lined up correctly otherwise you will have to take it apart & reline (which I had to do)
I am a 49yr old female & was able to do this repair on my own!

I replaced the thermistor, then the gas ignitor which were easy to get to once the drum was out. The gas is still not igniting so not sure where to go from here. Putting the drum belt back on took some muscle. But then I'm 71.

With a thin flat screwdriver I was able to pry out the old door switch, I replaced it with the new door switch, pushed back in dryer and so far is working since I installed a month ago.

An appliance repairman determined the problem which was that it needed new pulleys and thankfully PartSelect carried them. He installed them in an hour and my dryer runs fine now.

Completely had to dismantle the dryer to get to the igniter.
The screw holding the igniter is a SOB to get at for extraction, and even worse putting back.,

Followed the repair video provided in the order confirmation email. Was easy.
