Propane dryer would not ignite
Cover of the dryer pops off and hinges back. Use a flat screw driver to pop the clips on the front sides. Two phillips head screws hold the front panel on. Remove them then lift the panel off the clips at the bottom. Two phillips head hold the Ignition Coil bracket in place. Take note of the direction of the cable connection, it's not marked. Dryer would ignite intermittently. Clothes were not dry after 1 hour.

Broken start switch
I watched the video that I saw posted on youtube. My dryer did not have a panel on the back to remove, so the part was very easily accessible. I simply took the old switch off and replaced it with the new one. The most impressive part was receiving the part so quickly. That was awesome! It saved me a trip to the laundromat. I really did not expect to receive it so quickly. Thank you!!!

Both selector knobs broke within days of each other
The repair was simply removing metal guards from old knobs and placing the new ones on the dials.
What's remarkable, I ordered standard shipping and they were here the NEXT DAY~!
Great customer service.

start knob broke off
I removed all but one screw on the back of the control panel and slid the panel down and to the left. Then I jiggled and turned the start switch box out of the slot, unplugged it, plugged in the new switch, and put it back in the slot turning slightly to tighten into place. I replaced the screws and the repair was complete!

Dryer was squeking
I watched the video on the web site after selecting the part and it was pretty simple. Everything worked just like the video showed. Probably could have been done faster but I took time to vacuum the inside of the dryer out. Really liked the video.

Start knob broken off
I popped the dryer lid open by pressing on two latches with the flat putty knife. I found that I really needed another set of hands, so my son helped me with this project. I had to disassemble the front panel by unscrewing 2 screws on the sides and also 2 screws around the dryer timer knob, after removing all knobs. Also, I had to pry apart 2 of the front pieces because they are clipped together with plastic latches. I unhooked two wires from the starter switch and then gave a half twist to remove it from the opening. Once that was removed, I just replaced it with the new part and put everything back together in reverse order. I did test the dryer before putting back together, but make sure you unplug it again while assembling. I forgot and two wires touched and there was a big spark and popping noise. Fortunately, nothing was blown out and no one was shocked I had absolutely no experience with anything like this but found this website to be a huge help. I figured everything out just be looking at the diagrams and some other notes on-line. Thanks!
