left a drywall screw in my pockit and it cut the tub
I first made a repaire order online and put on the service order that i needed a new tub. Someone was to call me the the night before but i never got the call the service man was coming between 8am and 12 he called at 11 and wanted to come and look at the washer to see what parts he needed i told him i put in the service reqwest that it needed a tub and that if he didn't have the tub not to come because i was not going to pay for a service call if he didn't have the parts he did tell me it would cost me $430.00 so i repaired it myshelf
I first checked the heating element by peeking through the peek hole in the front to see if it was turning on. The heating element turned on but gas failed to flow. Next, I checked all sensors including the fuse, they were all fine. This points to the solenoid as the cause of the issue. So I replaced the solenoids and the problem solved. I did watch the YouTube video on how to check the sensors and replace faulty parts.
Removed top of dryer, took screws out of back of dryer, pulled drum off front of dryer, removed old belt and slid new one in place. Reattached drum to front and slid belt in place only to find it was the wrong size. Called an appliance repair man, he said happens more ften than not.
I took the top and front off the dryer. I then took the screws out of the drum and removed the drum. I then took the old bearing out and put the new one in.
Turned off dryer breaker!!Pryed dryer top up and off using flat blade screwdriver, removed two philips head screws inside and top, rermoved wires for door switch. I pulled off the old drum slide and lower felt. I scraped the large left overs and used some solvent to clean the remaining fuzz. I glued the felt and slide per the instructions, applied the new parts. I waited about 30 minutes and assembled, it did make a squeaking noise for about 2 minutes. When everything seated in the noise was gone. $150.00 and simple mechanics saved me from spending more on a new dryer, mine is 15 yrs old.
Top control panel removed; next used screwdriver to lift up dryer top on each side( the top of dryer is attached by clips on the underside) the dryer front panel has two screws, one on each side of inside front(they are easy to reach and near the top of the inside front panel, after removing these two screws we used screwdriver again to pry off front panel as it is attached also by clips on inside of front panel. At this point there is easy access to the drum where the old belt was removed, new belt put in place; removed small panel on back of dryer to access idler pulley and attached new belt through the pulley; turned the drum a couple of times by hand to check if belt was running true on the drum; problem fixed.
The wife complained of clothes not drying. Ordered a igniter without checking for exact cause to save time. When I was able to I took the top and front panels off. Unfortunately the igniter was fine. I ruled out the limits and igniter with a VOM meter. I quickly ordered the gas valve solenoids. After a quick delivery they were replaced with a screw driver and panels replaced. Works fine.
