Took the dryer apart in an adjacent unused bedroom. Saw that the element was bad. Ordered new part from Part Select and installed when it arrived. The whole situation went as smooth as could be.

Dryer belt broken
Great service. I got the part in 3 days and having the youtube video was fantastic. I also was able to find other videos also so doing these tasks yourself nowadays is much easier. I was a bit nervous but it turned out to be easy.

Dryer making a high pitched screeching noise
I unscrewed the front and top of the dryer. Removing the original front drum bearing was fairly easy, and just needed a gentle pull. The drum bearing slide was easily inserted in to the front drum bearing. Then the front drum bearing just needed to be inserted where the old one was removed. I did need some help from my husband to lift the dryer drum in order to close the dryer back up, but other than that, it was very simple.

Dryer Would Not Heat And Dry For Set Time
The knob had cracked on the back side. All you had to do is pull off the knob and slide the new one on. Pretty foolproof.

Would Not Turn On
We ordered the part and I remember coming to this website and reading the reviews. So when my husband came home we pulled out the dryer and we unscrewed the back of the top plate. We then took the needle nose pliers totake the wire off which there are three of them just remember when changing the switch where the red wire goes instead of going uotop it goes on the bottom. After that we were done and I would say that it took about 15 minutes. When doing this make sure unplug the dryer before you do anything.

Would not start
Replaced the start switch and knob..first of all I unplugged the dryer (this is a must when replacing electrical components) then I took the two screws off the back of the dryer top cover and turned the start switch in a counter clockwise fashion. It popped off, then I unplugged the 4 wires and plugged into the new start switch. I then turned the switch onto the clips in the opposite fashion and it clicked into place. I then put the cover back on, replaced the two screws, pushed the knob onto the start switch, plugged the dryer back in and it started right up.
