HTDX100PD5WW Hotpoint Dryer - Instructions

Replaced High limit thermostat per video on the website. However, the flange of new thermostat is flat, while chassis it mounts on is round to conform to drum of dryer. So new thermostat was not flush with chassis. Dryer did not shut off early (that problem solved), but instead continued to dry clothes beyond time necessary. Note that old ...

Follow YouTube "how to change dryer's belt" some video is very clear.

this was a part i ordered for future use. i was very happy with the ordering process and speed of delivery from PartSelect.

inserted the lint catcher into the opening to replace the old one

easy to fix took less than 10 minutes

Opened up the package and took off existing door handle. The new one snapped right into place. This took all of 10 seconds!

Old handle popped out by pulling back and out. Inserted new handle by pushing in and forward. Easy!

All I neede to do was buy the new part and snap it into place on the door. The hardest part was making the door usable while waiting for a new handle. The solution was good old duct tape. I just taped the old broken handle in place until the new one showed up.

Remove screws from back top section, twist out old timer and twist new one in place. Replace cords one at a time so you get correct position. Replace backplate and push knob onto new timer shaft . Congrats your done and saved about 200 bucks !

Snapped right into place , less than a minute, if that

Removed the broken lint filter and replaced with new

I removed the top cover and the back cover to install new belt.
Once i put new belt i discovered that the pulley was also broken so now i have order the pulley so that i can complete the repair

Handyman installed the finally correct switch. It was not the starter button.
This company was wonderful. Replaced each part without charge and rushed the replacements to us. Can' say enough good things to thank them for their courtesy.
