The dryer would rumble after startup.
We started by unplugging the unit thenremoving the door tand front panel.By removing the belt from the tensioner and lifting out the drum.the drum rollers were replaced first and rumble was still there when operated.Checking the blower wheel revealed a crack the width of the blower.After new blower was installed the dryer operated almost as quietly as new.

The dryer was overheating & making a loud noice
Took the entire dryer apart after watching a video online. Replaced the rollers & the belt & put dryer back together. Since I am a machine builder by trade I knew how to do some of this after watching the video, but not sure how easy this would be for someone untrained.

Dryer Baffle had broken & needed replacement
Removed door &clips on latch side of door using a philips screw driver. Removed the dryer front panel by hand exposing the two metal clips holding down the dryer top panel. Using a nut driver, the two clips were removed allowing the top panel to be raised. The dryer drum was manually rotated to the location of the broken baffle. Using a nut driver, the broken baffle was removed. The new baffle was installed in reverse order.

Dryer time set dial cracked-- had to use pliers to move the dial and use dryer
Exactly as shown in your helpful video- took dial apart and replaced broken skirt with new one-- cost me only $15, saving at least $100 on service visit. Very happy with it!

Timer would not advance
This was an easy fix once I ordered the correct part. I snapped the cover off top and then separated skirt from knob. I then slide it onto the metal stem. I needed to remove a small black plastics piece in order for knob to go on fully. This must have broken off the old skirt. Extremely easy to do and the video was great

Drying had starting making a loud screeching noise
The noise started intermittent and got worse. After watching an online repair of a very similar model and same brand, I decided to tackle it myself. The problem was that one of the drum support rollers had seized up. The shaft that support roller road on was also a little sticky. The noise was caused by the roller hitting the sheet metal behind the drum support roller and scraping on it. I replaced the shaft and drum roller and believe that solved the problem. I ordered other parts for the dryer drum assembly and replaced them while I had it apart. I didn't want to take it apart twice so I didn't take the time to disassemble to diagnose it. I just ordered them all and replaced them all while I was in there.

Dryer knob had cracked trying to turn a frozen timer
Pull dryer knob off. Separate the skirt from the knob and cover. (I also had to remove the rear panel in order to disconnect the wire to the dryer buzzer.)
