Dryer motor will sometime not turn the drum if the load is large. Dryer worked fine before drying the same size large load but now will just sort of hum and not turn. Do you think belt, idler pulley, drum support, or what's your best guess.

Dryer makes a wining noise shortly after it starts. The noise stops after a few minutes. Is this the belt needs replacing?

Hi Debbie,
Thank you for your question. If your dryer is making a whining noise, there are some parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. You will need to check the drive belt, the drum rollers and the idler pulley wheel. We have included a link that you may reference on how to check these parts and some others as well. Once you have determined the part you need, please feel free to call customer service. We are open 7 days a week and anyone will be happy to assist you. We look forward to hearing from you!
2 weeks ago we started having a problem starting our dryer. The door is closed and we have to hold the start button for 10 to 15 seconds before the dryer will start.

Hello Bill, Thank you for your inquiry. It could be an issue with the door switch, the touchpad and overlay or the control board. Also check the wiring harness for any visible damage. You can test the parts with a multimeter. Good luck with your repair.
i ordered a door latch for the model shown above. I need a shroud for the latch. I did not see one in the parts list. Is a shroud available? If so what is the part number?
Thanks.

Remove the kick plate from the bottom of the dryer by sliding a putty knife along the top edge to release the plastic clamps, one on each side about 4" in from the edges. The kick plate folds out and down. You will see the heat shield on the right, held in by one hex head screw. Remove screw and heat shield. The element is positioned in a

Remove the hex-head screws that hold the element in place and disconnected the two wires by pulling them out by hand or with needle nose pliers. The only difficulty here is the cramped working area...I recommend a stubby socket driver for these two screws. Most of this I had to do by feel because I could not see the screw heads. Once the screws are out and the wires have been disconnected, slide the old element straight out toward you. You may need to disconnect a small plastic hose located to the left front of the element, but this hose just pulls right off. Vacume the dust & lint build-up out of the whole area, wipe out the element housing and clean up the whole underside of the dryer prior to installing the new element. Installation is reverse of removal. It also might be a good opportunity to clean out your exhaust duct and the vent to the outside. (Never use the aluminum foil-accordian-type duct.) If the exterior dryer vent has any kind of screen over it, remove it and get rid of it. Screens collect lint, lint builds up and burns out elements.
The issue was the idler pulley. First I began opening up the front panel based on a youtube video but soon realized the model was slightly different and required a lot more items to remove. I saw the pulley in the back with nothing in the way so I put the front panel crap back on and removed the rear panel. There it was, very simple to re
