Wont spin and smells like something is burning after pressing start button
Hello Ilma, thank you for writing! If your Dryer is not spinning and has the smell of burning, then you will want to check the Belt. Usually a damaged Belt will cause this issue. I hope this helps.

Filter no longer fits flush in slot. Affects closing of dryer front door.
Will replacing the filter fix this issue?
Hello Merrilyn, thank you for reaching out. Remove the lint filter and clean the lint filter duct assembly using a vacuum to clean lint inside it. It will make room for the lint filter to fit snuggly into place, all the way down. The problem is that lint clump up down inside the lint trap area inside the cover and below the filter placement. When it clumps up too much, the filter will not sit flush. If this does not help, you will need to replace the lint filter, part number PS11763056. We hope this is helpful!
Push the start button but the dryer turns off when the button is released. Replaced the start button but still the same problem.
Hi David,
Thank you for your question. If the dryer turns off when you let go of the start button, the issue is either with the belt or the motor. You will need to check and see which part is causing the issue. Before inspecting these parts, unplug the dryer from the electrical outlet. Visually inspect the belt to see if it has slipped off the pulleys or to see if it is broken. If it is broken replace it and if it has slipped off, reposition it. You will need to test the motor for continuity with a multimeter on the Rx1 setting to see if it is working. Using pliers to pull on the metal leads and not the wires themselves and remove the motor from the dryer. Then touch the terminals with the probes. You should show a reading of 0, or close to 0. Then place one probe on the bare metal housing of the motor, and place the other probe on each terminal one at a time to check the ground connection. You should not receive any reading from this test. If your motor fails either of the tests above, you need a replacement motor. We hope this helps!
Changed the timer and nob.It still does not seam to be cycling right still.
Hi Mark, thank you for reaching out. Based on the description that you have provided, we would recommend checking the idler pulley, part number PS16542497, the drive belt, part number PS16542496 and the drive motor, part number PS12743452. We hope this solves your problem!

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.

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
... Read more. 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.

Rubbing/Squealing Noise While Drying, especially during cold weather

This part arrived at our house two days after I ordered it. I was stunned by how quickly it arrived.
Our dryer was making a very annoying squeaking/rubbing noise while drying and it became worse as the outside temps dropped (it's winter)...colder air cooling the exhaust line, causing metal in dryer to contract more.
... Read more>I called an appliance repair service and they said, "Honestly, your money is going to be better spent to just buy a new dryer. The bearings on these are a pain to replace."
Yeah, right.
I've never taken apart a dryer, but it took me less than 45 minutes to complete this repair and our dryer is back to normal. Total cost was $18, including shipping. A $300 savings versus buying a new dryer.
There is another description of the process for this part so I won't repeat it all.
I did it a little differently than most, namely I did not remove the dryer drum. I simply pulled it out about six inches (make sure and slide belt back as you inch out the drum). But first, unplug the dryer, then remove the top, then the front.
A Philips screwdriver will quickly remove the top of the dryer (two screws on inside front, where door closes) and the front face (two screws at top of front, inside face). Lift the front up about an inch and it is free. I had to disconnect a couple wires, just make sure you mark before you disconnect them.
With that done, the drum will pull straight toward you (out). Make sure and support the weight of the drum as you slide it out. I found no need to remove the drum.
At the rear inside of our drum, there are three Torx screws that hold the bearing assembly on. I have a pretty long reach so I just removed two of the Torx screws, then reached around the back of the drum while removing the third screw, to keep the bearing assembly from falling onto the floor behind the back of the drum.
This plastic bearing is held to the bearing shaft by a little o-ring. Just pull the o-ring off, slide off the old bearing, slide the new bearing on and replace the o-ring (if yours is broken, any home store will have one that will work as a replacement in their faucet repair department).
Reattach the bearing housing to the drum with the Torx screws (get all three started before you tighten any of them), slide the drum back in - make sure you slide the belt as you move the drum back in and support the weight of the drum so you don't bash the bearing assembly into the back of the dryer.
You're doing this part blind, but in a few seconds, you can guide the bearing back into the hole in the back wall of the dryer. It just slides into the hole, nothing fancy.
Put the front of the dryer back on. Then replace the top (I had to remove the five screws on top of the dial panel to give it some flex so the top would pop back into place without stressing the dial panel), plug the dryer back in, and fire it up.
45 minutes after this part arrived at our home, our dryer problems were gone. Now that I've done one, I could probably do it in 20 minutes the next time (it's that simple/easy). And we didn't need a new dryer. Makes me think I should have the appliance guy who told me we needed a new dryer to direct all of these "pain in the fanny" bearing replacements to me because I could charge someone $50 total for the repair and make good money.
Hope all this babble helps someone else who doesn't need a new dryer.
