Door seal/gasket coming off of dryer door. Could not make it stay as designed.
This was the easiest repair ever done. Pulled out old seal/gasket and popped in new one. Took about 2 minutes. Be sure to mark where ends of new door seal (gasket) starts and ends when removing the old one.
Very easy lined the slots on the dryer door with the gasket and pushed the small tabs into the slots of the gasket door with my fingers - A $10 fix that would have probably would have been in excess of $100 if we called a service repair person
We followed a YouTube video and did the repair ourselves over an afternoon. We had one screw leftover (?) but everything went back together and now the dryer works like a dream! We bought a PartSelect part because we don't want to have to do this very often! ??
Popped in the new door catch! Tightened the hinge screws( which work loose and allow the door to droop. The reason the catch broke!) Also put red Loctite on the screws in an attempt to keep them from backing out again! Working great so far!!!
Main problem was the bearing, replaced the belt and felt seal as well The video instruction was very helpful Was easy with basic mechanical aptitude Dryer running great now All parts from Partselect.com Have ordered from them before and would order from them again
dryer stopped in middle of cycle and would not restart
followed the repair video and replaced thermal fuse and thermostat(recommend replacing both due to the problem could of resulted in either part being the cause),Repair went relatively easy.I also recommend to clean and vacuum the dryer while you have it all apart due to a lot of lint buildup and don't forget to unplug before servicing!Stay Safe!!!
followed the instruction on you tube, the part was exact, there was nothing to guess, basically you take the whole front off of the dryer, that in itself is easy (follow instructions), once you get to the element, just plug and play. the worst part was a set screw in the back that did take some patience, but finally did get it in. I am not a mechanic in the least, trust me, if I can do it then anyone can. you will need regular Philips screw driver and one short one, really short, mine is about 2 inches in length, also I used manual one, allot of plastic, so I would not recommend electric drill or electric driver. also a good pair of plyers, but small not large.
