Dryer runs high heat regardless of the setting.

Hi Arnold, Thank you for your question. If your dryer is running too hot, check the dryer vent to make sure it is clear of lint. A clogged vent will cause the dryer to become too hot. If the vent is free of lint, you will need to check safety thermostat, the high limit thermostat and the cycling thermostat. We hope this helps! Good luck with the repair!

I have this model of dryer, needs a new lint filter. Otherwise works fine. Is there a lint filter from another model that might fit this one? Thanks!

Dryer has started chirping but at times squeals so loud i turn it off..but then at times it chirps and squeals and gets totally quiet for a few minutes then starts back up...if i start the dryer when it's completely empty it runs fine, no chirping or squealing no matter how long it runs......

Replaced broken START knob on dryer.
Slid off the old START knob, then pushed on the new START knob.

I created and printed a label on my computer for use with the time selector dial, which must be set at or beyond 10 minutes, before turning the START knob.

I made a label that says "Minimum" with a red arrow that points past the 10 minute setting on the time selector dial.

My teenage daughter was not setting the time selector dial, to a point past 10 minutes. When she turned the START knob, the dryer would not come on, because the time selector dial was not set past the 10 minute setting.

My daughter had continually twisted the START knob until it broke. I am hoping she will be able to see the large printed label I put on the dryer near the time selector, saying "Minimum" with a large red arrow pointing past 10 minutes.

I am very pleased that I was quickly able to find the exact matching START knob for my dryer and the exact same color, from PartSelect.Com
