Due to weather exposure, the handle fatigued and broke in several parts.
You simply pry the old handle off with a flathead screwdriver, and then line up the new handle and snap it into place. It took less than 30 seconds! A breeze.

The knob broke
I unplugged the 110 on the dryer, then popped the top on the dryer (with a screw driver), held the switch in place, bent the brass fittings to clamp the switch assembly to the front of the dryer panel and installed the knob.

Broken rotary knob
Easy peasy! It is as easy as lining up the knob with the D shaft on the dryer. There is a small piece/ring around the shaft that can still be stuck up inside so if you can't get the knob to sit flush with the dryer, peak inside and slide it off with a pair of pliers (the repair video shows this clearly if you need an example). I was done in 2 minutes, including the time it took to open the package!

Pulled the old knob off to get part number. Ordered replacement part. When it arrived, I pushed the new knob on the shaft. It ain't rocket science! Thanks for you quick, efficient service.

Dryer ran, had no heat
Your website was very helpful in narrowing down and diaganosing the problem. A continuity tester verified an open solenoid. Ordered Sunday evening, parts arrived Tuesday. Ignition coils drop in place with a holddown bracket and one screw. Wiring harness is reattached. Front of dryer is put in place followed by the top. Plugged in the dryer (it is just commom sense to have the power off). Started dryer, of course it ran WITH heat. The end of the story is HAPPY WIFE, HAPPY LIFE. Happy to do business with you.

Loud screeching noise, barrel turned OK and Heater worked
I took the lower back panel off. Loosened the center bolt and took off the old Idler pulley. It looked brown in the middle and didn't roll well. But I wasn't sure if that was it, because the noise was so loud and sounded metal on metal. So I checked everything and vacuumed everything. After I got the new part it took me about 5 minutes to put the new one on. And dryer works fine. Thanks for the quick response and I saved about $200.00!
