Just put new lint filter in slot
I had torn the screen on the original one

removed old lint trap cleaned excess lint that fell inside from the broken lint trap made it easier for new lint trap to slide in.

Having 2 persons make the job easier.
1) Remove the screws that holds the hinge to the body of the unit.
2) Remove the screws around the door so you can get to the hinge.
3) Remove bad hinge and replace with new one.

Lift the lint filter and slide the 2 hooked ends into the 2 holes provided . Front end is locked in as other end is suspended .

Removed panel to access the interlock switches. There were two. The button on one switch was fine and the button on the other would not depress. Ran a continuity test and it failed. The switch also had a burnt smell

Took out interlock switch (two leads) and replaced with new one. As simple as that.

Ordered parts and installed with YOUTUBE video.
Model A little different than showed online, There was a Metal protector over the Door switch that need to be taken off before switch could be located.
After detachment of dryer door, easily pushed the seal to one side to dislocate the metal protector.
Would of took 30 minutes to complete if had not been for the Metal protector they added to cover the switch.

Son found out where the bulb was by using YouTube. I googled lamp for model number and your website came up. I ordered the part, it arrived promptly, and my son installed it.

Took pics of the wiring after taking off back top plate. Found PartSelect on line. Put in part and ordered, quick,easy and simple. They did everything as stated. Put all wires back on and closed up. Tickled pink with PartSelect and will definitely use them again.

Two surprises: (a) after removing two screws, instrument console required a hard whack to slide it back so it would come off; and (b) the timer was held in place by a torx (T-15) screw. The photo I took of the wiring was essential for installing the new timer.

Timer was extremely difficult to turn, causing the knob to strip. Unplugged power to dryer.
Pulled knob off, pulled dryer out to get at the back side, removed the small bolts that hold the back on, pulled back off and let it hang by the ground wire, looked at switch away and saw it was attached by a nut and a torque screw,and two hooks, removed screw and nut, looked at new switch,I put a little oil on the shaft to free it up,and aligned it the same as the old one, took the old one off by sliding it up to clear the hooks and let it hang by the wires, installed new switch with nut and torque screw and hooks. Then looked at the wires on the old switch and transferred each wire one at a time to the same terminal on the new switch. Screw the back on to the dryer, plug power in, move dryer back in place put knob on.

I just popped in the new Filter and it fit perfectly. This will prolong the dryer use, looks like new.

Thank you Part Select.
