Dryer heated up but drum would not turn
The dryer was heating but the drum would not turn. We opened it up to see what the problem was. As soon as we opened it, we saw the belt was broken. I ordered a new one and after two trips to the laundromat I was ready to get the dryer fixed. That weekend we tackled the job. First I did a Google Search on Westinghouse dryer repair, found several ....one with a video:-) Punched in our model number and they went through the whole procedure....while it took them only 10 minutes, we took a little longer. But they had great ideas how to hold the drum while repairing, etc. Being recently laid-off this was a fantastic find. I have no idea how much a service call would be on the dryer nor could I afford a new one at this time.... Great old American Know How got it done.

Broken Dryer Drum Belt
Dismantled the dryer to determine that the belt was broken. Called a local supply outlet to request a belt. They said they couldn't find one. Did an online search and found Part Select. Called with the model number and within three days the part was delivered. Replaced the belt and the dryer was working within an hour. Hardest part was getting the dryer out of the laundry room. I would certainly call PartSelect again if I needed a part.

Knobs to turn dryer on & choose setting broke, & the dryer wouldn't work at all.
Simply pulled the old knobs off & put the new ones on.
It is disappointing that the knobs cracked at all. I guess all the repair guys who've come out since our kitchen remodel are right - nothing lasts anymore & expect a repair within 5 yrs.
I ordered on a Monday & the knobs were delivered the next day, even though I chose only standard shipping. I was very, very pleased with PartSelect.com.

Dryer knob stripped on the inside.
Very easy, slipped the old one off and placed the new one on
This was the greatest part ordering experience I think I have ever encountered.
No problems with ordering, arrived on time and works beautifully.

dryer was not drying , and was shutting off
well guys replacing the knob was no big deal, but i initially thought that the timer was bad. i jumped the gun and ordered the timer on a wednesday and discovered on thursday upon further investagation that the back of the dial shaft was cracked creating the whole problem, so i ordered that and everything is fine once installed (& the timer is on the way back). my advice is check thoroughly and order once, you get less laughter from your wife on this one. thanx mcsgt(robert)

Dryer temperature control knob would not turn.
Ordered the knob, received it immediately, pushed the knob on without the assistance of any tools. I am handyman challenged sothis was a huge accomplishment for me. Thanks!

Broken knob
Pulled old knob off and replaced with new knob. The hardest part of the repair was finding the part and partselect made that easy as well.

timer knob would not turn correctly to set time
I had my landscape guy, who volunteered to look at the dryer since he's also an electrician, come in and take a quick look. he turned the knob, pulled it off and told me the inside was cracked so it would not grab the turn mechanism. Who knew? I got the model number from the dryer door, checked in on the internet for Fridgedaire parts, found Partselect.com, ordered part, came next day, knob fits, dryer works. end of story. THANK U!!!

broken belt
I replaced this belt once before but it squeaked for over a year. This belt from Part Select was much better quality and now the dryer works perfectly, no squealing!
