plastic dryer handle was broken during move
Used a flathead screw driver to pry broken handle out and snapped new handle right back in. Took no time at all. It was great and to top it off, I received the ordered item within 2 working days! Thanks so much. (I do not really know the age of the dryer as it belonged to my Mother who has been relocated into Hospice).

Broken knob and shaft on turn type switchsp dryer could not be started.
My husband died last year and I have learned to use the internet to fix a lot of things. I was so pleased to find your video instructions which gave me the confidence to repair my dryer, myself, for less than $40. Just like instructed I disconnected and pulled out my dryer from the wall. Pried off the top by using a small pry tool near the clips. As my dryer was close to a shelf that would support the raised lid I did not have to disconnect the ground wire on the back. I then pried off the wire connectors from the switch. Unfortunately one of them broke off the end of the wire so I had to replace with a new connector which I purchased from a local hardware store. (strip about a 1/2 of coating off the wire insert in the new connector and attach by squeezing with a pliers) Once that was done I put the switch in place by lining up the notches and twisting into position. I slid on the connectors. Correctly lined up the knob and pushed it in place. Then I reconnected the dryer to the outlet, gave it a turn and it started. Happy dance time! To be completely honest a helpful tip for retrieving a connector that falls down the side of the drum--chewing gum on the end of a 3 ft wooden dowel. Thanks again, you can be sure in the future I will be checking out your company when need arises.

Start knob broke
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.
