Doesn't advance on automatic cycle changed the timer and thermostat still won't advance
For model number GTD42EASJ2WW
Hi Dann, Thank you for your question. If you have changed the timer and the thermostat, the issue maybe with the timer knob or the door may not be closing correctly. Check the latch and make sure the door is closing completely and check the knob for signs of damage or wear. We hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day.

How to remove the lint filter from the dryer?

Good Day Peter. Thank you for your question in regards to your unit (Model Number GTD42EASJ2WW). Here are some tips to help you remove the lint filter from your unit. Ensure that you have unplugged your unit to avoid being injured from a power surge or electrical current. First open the dryer door, then remove the lint screen by flexing down on it's upper bar to release the tabs holding it in place (which will let you pull the lint filter out). Hope this helps. Best Regards.

Drum belt broke
Removed the front Dryer panel. Left drum in place and lifted it up slightly to get access to motor drive. Slipped belt in place and put panel back on.
This was a first attempt ever at fixing an appliance and it was no big deal.

Broken Dryer Belt
I had to take most of the dryer apart because there is no rear access to the motor. It turned out to be easy to dissasembel the dryer. The only problem that I had was that I could not figure out how to route the belt around the motor and the idol pullies. I could not find anywhere that gave instructions on how to properly tension the belt. I finally figured out that the idoler pulley needs to be locked in place on the right side of the engie mount. Then the belt needs to be routed over idoler pulley and under the motor pulley. Finally release the idoler pully from the locked postion to put tension on the belt. It really turned out to be pretty easy.

dryer cylinder wouldn't turn
Pryed off the top with a flat head screwdriver and removed the 2 screws holding the front panel to the sides. Then lifted the front panel off of the bottom brackets. Belt fit perfectly and followed the provided instructions to loop it around the motor and pulley. PartSelect got the part to me within a couple of days and the repair was a snap.
