The handle on the dryer broke off
I ordered the new part as listed and it came in two days, which was amazing to me since it was the week before Christmas. I snapped it in in less than a minute and all is well. Thank you for being so prompt on sending this out. Made the holidays a lot easier.

Dryer drum squealling
I followed the directions from the previous post. It was much easier than described. I got the part, removed 4 screws, removed the top, pulled the front and replaced the part. It was all together again in 15 minutes. Dryer sounds great again! I'm so glad I didn't call a repair man!

Door Handle Missing from Dryer
This repair was SO easy, it took less than 5 minutes. All I had to do is snap the door handle into the slots and it was finished. "Piece of Cake"!

The clothes dryer door handle broke off.
The door to the clothes dryer would not open without the handle. To be able to use the dryer I secured the handle in place with packaging tape. The Part Select website made it extremely easy to identify the replacement part using just the model number. I placed the order on Thursday afternoon and received the part on Friday morning. I had to twist the broken handle to remove it from the door. Then I was able to snap in the replacement handle back in place with little force. Thanks to Part Select my problem was easily rectified.

loud squeaking from dryer
Just like the other stories, remove the top and front of the dryer, replace the bearing and slides (or slides only if needed). I ordered only the slides, but also needed the bearing because I didn't realize the drum had worn through the bearing already.

loud screaching noise
We removed the top of the the dryer and then removed the front part. Then put the traps in place, put the other parts of the dryer back on, and turned the dryer back on. Just as simple as that. No extra fees.

Loud Grinding Noise
I followed the great tips from the other repairs and that part was easy. Turned out not to be the exact problem. The problem was the rear bearing shaft which in another 20 min I had the drum out and repaired. Now the dryer is like new and will hopefully last another 5 yrs.
Thanks Parts Select for your help!

Pull door handle broke
No tools needed as old handle had come out on it's own when it broke. Simply removed duct tape that was used holding old one in place till new one arrived. Placed new one in position and snapped into place to hold. Less then a minute to install. Very pleased and surprised in how fast delivery of part from PartSelect was. Basically had it in 2 days. Will use them for other replacement parts as the need arises.
