Dryer made a squeaking noise while running
I removed several torx srews across the back control panel. Removed two philips screws under top of front dryer door. Pulled up on top surface of dryer case. Removed two more screws on backside of front door panel. Pulled front door panel forward and inserted drum slides into slots that they just popped into with a small button rod to keep them in place. The old drum slides were completely worn down or fell off. It runs like a new one again. It is over 10 years old.
The new door handle just snapped into place.
Original door handle had been broken off for several years.

Wrong part number sent to me.
Didn't get to do repair because we were sent the wrong part number. Part number on box was correct but part in box was different number. So I had to pay $11.00 to send part back for refund plus original shipping of $10.00. So I'm out over $20 an still have no part to repair my dryer.

Plastic handle in dryer broke off.
All I neede to do was buy the new part and snap it into place on the door. The hardest part was making the door usable while waiting for a new handle. The solution was good old duct tape. I just taped the old broken handle in place until the new one showed up.

Dryer knob was stripped. Unable to turn to select time to dry.
Pulled old knob off. Aligned new knob. Pushed on. Took less than 1 minute, no tools required.
Expensive for a knob.
But it fixed the problem better than switching another knob from the machine.

Loud noise
First I watched the repair video on partselect.com and that really helped. It was really easy to replace the slides. I even ordered a new top bearing, old one was busted, and replaced it. Thank you for your help.
