Missing Knob
I opened the package, took out the knob, walked to the machine, checked to make sure the knob matched the rest of the knobs and placed the knob on the correct pin. Rotated the knob to make sure it was in place, it was, and I walked away. Very simple.

cheap plastic knob that came with the dryer cracked inside so it won't turn on
threw away the old cracked knob and used pliers to turn on the dryer for a couple of days while I waited for the replacement part. Didn't call the repair man for this one. Got the new part, which appeared to be slightly tougher inside than the original, and popped it on. piece of cake!

Washer tub was not spinning
Smelled burning rubber, checked belt. Belt was cracked and worn out. Easy repair. Removed front of the machine held together with two screws at the bottom of the unit. Removed top cover of machine (the part with the lid). It just pops off. Pushed tensioner wheel in and took off old belt. Putting new belt on was super easy. Working like a champ now. $20 total with shipping. Not too bad to save a washing machine.

Replacement ofheating element
I unattached the old broken element and then re-attached the new. I am 56 years old and have never done this type of repair. I found a YouTube video and followed the directions and it made the repair very simple.

Drive Belt Was Noisy-Slipping
I just popped up the top front using a large straight (slotted) screw driver, then removed the 2 screws at the bottom front, then the whole front panel popped down about a half inch to be lifted out of the way. I found the old drive belt way down under the motor (still attached as normal), very near the floor and removed the worn out belt by hand, and replaced it with the new belt by hand also. The spring loaded belt tightener- idler wheel makes this a very simple process to accomplish. Then, I replaced the front panel-- all done. Works like new.

drive belt old and stretched
unplugged machine. pried up with large regular screwdiver on top washer lid. removed two phillips screws bottom of front panel, had to use rubber mallet to drive front panel down to remove as was rusty and old. removed old belt using screwdriver. put new belt under tub pulley and put belt on small pulleys. kept moving tub and springs by pushing on tub. Took several tries to get new belt to go on the large tub pulley but finally did it. I used the instructions you gave for replacing broken drive belt and it worked. replaced front panel and two phillips screws, put top back on and away it went.

Dryer would not turn on, no power. Since i already have replaced thermal limiter switch, i knew exactly what to do and also how to shorten installation
Remove 2 screws from back of unit, remove top by lifting and pulling up, set aside. Using pliers,needle-nose, remove the 2 wires from switch, then using a magitized philips screw driver, remove 2 screws holding switch to back of unit, replace switch, reassemble everything. 20 minutes, boom, ur done, dry some clothes now

Smell of rubber under dryer. Inspection proved belt cracked and shinny worn spot.
Installation was easy, however watch repair instructions video for your model number to easily remove front access panel.
