Remove the screws and pivot handle. Push handle downward and it slides off the screw head sticking out of door. To replace handle, just work in reverse. It
Didn’t take more than 3-4 minutes to do the whole job.

Followed the instructions provided in your video, took less than 15 minutes and works like new. Thank you for the parts and the advice.

existing screws and a screwdriver. My wife repaired it. Piece of cake

took less than 5 minutes had to undo two screws and take out old broken off part and put new handle on and put screws in

The repair was relatively easy. What was surprising was the delivery of the part…ordered on Sunday and it was delivered by Tuesday morning. Wow, I was impressed!!!

Follow the instructions of the tape and put it together.

After realizing the engineering on this dryer was different, I was able to access the temperature control thermostat through the front, along the side of the heating element. Several philips screws hold the front on, removing them allows you to take front panel off. At that point the heating element is below. I took a picture of the wires, so that when I started removing them, it would be easy to reconnect. Two screws hold the heating element in place, upon removing the heating element housing pulls gently forward and out, be careful of the wires, the thermostat is the second thing connected to the housing of the heating element. Two more philips screws hold the housing to the bottom of the dryer. Two wires are removed from thermostat, which is also held in place by two philips screws. Remove wires, one at a time and place on thermostat exactly as they were on old thermostat. Hold new thermostat in place with the two Philip screws, and reassemble in reverse order. And enjoy your working dryer once more, hopefully for years to come.

Problems. Two screws holding temperature control module to the plastic case did not fit the holes in temperature controler were too big. So I used gorilla glue to help secure but it was still loose a little bit with all the connections made i turned it on but it did not work

Followed your instructions and it couldn’t have been any easier

I had to loosen the screw holding the mounting block and increase the hole size to fit the screw on refrigerator

They were the wrong parts. I read a question another person asked and it advised to order these parts. Didn't want to waste my time anymore and threw them away.

Ordered the Capacitor and the Thermostat Control. Parts were received in a matter of a few days, easy to install, but did not fix the problem. Had to call a repairman to fix the problem (compressor relay - this part not available to order for this model number with Parts Select). Will continue to use Parts Select in the future for other parts, but not happy that the actual part I needed was not available - had to use other methods.

Simply removed the old screws and slipped handle off of main screw on face of refrigerator door. Removed broken plastic of handle then slid new handle over screw on face of door, rotated handle till it aligned with screw holes on top of door and put screws back in previous holes for the screws. It was a done deal.

removed the two screws from broken piece and put handle in place and replaced the screws. easy-peasy.

Followed video instruction and completed the replacement. I had to join the wires since the connector was a male plug to a make plug.
