unit would not agitate or spin
I checked the motor,it was bad I was pulling to 20 amps too much. The washer was still not working and the motor was bad so I checked the lid switch for continuity. The switch was a magnet type so with the lid down you should have continuity. In other words, a closed circuit. When the lid is opened, you should have a open circuit, Which would show no continuity. An open circuit means a break in the circuit. To change hinge bushings, raise lid, remove the screws on the outside of the lid, remove hinge, remove lid, insert new hinge bushings, place hinge through lid into bushings, and then put the screws back into the lid. If you followed these steps you should be done.

Friend thought the belt was slipping.
Changing the belt didn't solve anything. We took the console apart and there is a Troubleshooting Guide folded up in there. It has a Code List and a sequence to follow to determine the trouble codes. While there was nothing wrong as far as coding, it did lead us to confirm the discharge pump WAS working, even though there was no water coming out. The discharge hose was plugged.

Three broken off veins on the agitator
Couldn't get the agitator off by pulling up, then thought about it and got 2 carpenter claw hammers, inserted one on each side and puled up evenly on both and off she came. Sprayed the slots with WD Forty and popped the new on. THANKS saved us a lot of money!!!

The timer knob no longer engaged and moved the stem
I used needle-nose pliers to pry out the little c-clamp that held on the timer knob, then easily pulled off the knob. I used the vacuum cleaner to clear the broken plastic teeth from area surrounding the stem. Then I simply pushed on the new knob. Whole job took about 5 minutes.

Broken belt
The belt is very tight. Use a zip tie to old the belt on as you work it around the large pulley. Once it is on remove zip tie and turn the pulley enough times to line up the belt evenly then your done.

Timer Knob had sheared off.
Watched your video which showed how to replace it and it only took a minute or two. Replacement part cost less than the shipping cost but well worth it as it arrived the next day!

Dryer stopped working/would not turn on.
Basically the dryer would not turn on, after finding your site putting in the model number and description of my problem, I was able to trouble shoot and pretty fast I was able to determine the knob which controls the heat setting and time was cracked. I ordered the part and received it in a couple of days removed the old cracked knob and installed the new one no actual tools needed.

knob broke when someone sat something heavy and pushed against it
Once the part came in, I noticed that the new one sent to me was missing a circular piece (has arrow) attached to the knob (has line that lines up with arrow. No problem - I snapped the circular part from the old one and super glued it to the new knob and slid it on the post. So easy, even I did it.

It had a broken belt.
I just did a google search and found a video that shows to use a zip tie to hold the belt to the big pulley and simply turn the drum and the belt goes right on. Then cut the zip tie off and you are ready to go. Took all of 3 minutes to change the belt from start to finish.
