Gasket ripped
It was so simple. I removed the old ripped gasket by just pulling it. I followed the same direction with the new gasket by using a small screw driver to push in the tabs in each of the holes in the door. It works perfectly. They only fear I had was getting the part and the correct part, the model number of the dryer was on the door which made it easy.

Timer knob on dryer was stripped (plastic was cracked.)
Pulled old knob off. Used visegrips to turn selector and when new knob arrived. Took off visegrips - pushed on new knob. Bingo! I'm a genius.

Dryer was making a loud squealing noise.
I replaced the dryer bearing ( a plastic part) and all of the slides on the bearing. It now operates like new.

Broken piece
Snap out the broken part. Snap in the new part. Use caution with the wires, but don’t have to disconnect them.

a lot
started with replacing the belt and tension pulley which I purchased from another source. I found your videos on line and they are great. easy to follow. Realized I needed the bottom vent assembly and your prices were better than my local supplier. It was easy to replace thanks to your video. It was nice that you included it in the final order status. The only problems. Did not know the duct felt seal was included with the new duct assembly. I ordered the wrong bearing slides, web site showed both green and white for my model. I now realize I should replace the upper bearing housing. Can I return the unused parts, unopened and have that put as a credit to my next order? Thanks

The dryer lint chute was cracked and catching our clothes.
We watched the YouTube video and had it installed in no time. Saved money doing it ourselves.

Part Didn't Work
I have ordered this part twice from different providers. This time there were more connections than on the older one. Still haven't gotten the dryer running.

No heat from dryer. Diagnosed by others as the Gas Valve
Watched tecnician (I paid) as he diagnosed the problem. Four screws take of the top and front. Clothes drum slides out. Access to valve is good. Valve attaches to feed via compression fitting. Male end of fitting on unit is moved to new unit via allen wrench. Drive belt is re attached around drum and over idler easily. Part cost $90.00 shipp0ed to me. Technician asked $375.00 for this repair. Access the parts via placing the model number on Google Search.
