Squeaking

This is the 2nd time we had to replace the slides. Not a big deal. Removed the top & front of the dyer and replaced the new slides. It's also a good time to vacuum out the inside while you have it apart. Be advised.... Get your tools ready. You'll be receiving your parts quickly. Couldn't believe how fast they arrived!

Drum wobbling and thumping

Followed the Part Select video instructions which made the repair really easy!! Thanks for a job well done! ALSO.. the drum wobble was not caused by worn slides and felt. There are three screws holding the drum axle flange. Two of them fell out leaving the drum to flop about as it rotated. So we scavenged some screws from elsewhere on the dryer and problem solved. Once again.. thanks to Part Select for great instructional videos and great customer service ordering parts.

Terminal block was burned

Before removing the old part,took photo with my phone camera to document the color wires hook up. Screwed in the new part and hooked up the color coded wires using the photo as reference. I was surprised how easy it was. Thanks. Partselect gave me fast shipping, cheap price and great customer service.

Dryer would not turn on

It took a while to diagnose the problem. I finally figured out it was the door switch by pushing it with my finger with the dryer door open and starting the dryer. It would run like that, but the switch was not being pressed in enough by the door. I ordered the switch and I should have been able to replace in about 15 min. But the old switch broke while I was removing it and it fell back inside the unit. So I had to remove the top and the front panel to access the door switch. That's why it took so long. If that had not happened it would have been a much simpler repair.

Dryer would not start.

Checked all thermostats, they were good. Circuit was getting 220 vac. Eventually found fuse in the back near the heating element, same was bad. By-passed same, and when we did, the timer Popped & arched !. Not sure why. Motor protectrion fuse found to be good. Heating elements good. Fuse was the only bad part found, never figured out what caused it to blow. Appliance was taken away after purchase of new one. Problem not found or resolved by self diagnostics. Originally the exhaust duct was somewhat clogged with lint, but not severely.

Dryer makes noise when "Start" is pushed, but stops when you let go.

Dryer would turn on when you pushed the "on" button, but as soon as you let go, it would turn off. Found the plastic door switch cracked (from slamming door closed). Unplugged the dryer. Unscrewed the two screws inside the top of the door to unfasten the top panel. Took the top panel off. Then unscrewed the two screws on the side to unlatch the front panel. Used plyers to take the 3 wires off the switch and slid the switch through the front of the door. Juat remember where the wires go. Then inserted new switch and connected the wires. Vacuumed out the dryer and reassembled. It took about 20 minutes and was easy! If I can do it, you can!!!

On-Off knob on dryer broke.

Finding the part number on the site was very easy. Replacement came in a few days. Replacement was very easy. The only thing that might have been tricky was knowing to remove the old metal insert. That issue was covered in the helpful video making this a "no brainer".

the timer knob on my dryer broke...

I checked the part number on the knob. Found the 1-800 number on a label in the door of the dryer. Called the number and easily ordered the part. The customer service associate that answered my call said it would be here in 3-5 budiness days. To my surprise, it was on my doorstep the next day. I simply placed it where it needed to go and wah-la!! I had a working knob again. My phone call to parts service went very smoothly and delivery was extra speedy!! Very satisfied.

Turned Timer Knob and drier didn't start

Turning the timer on the drier, it felt smooth - no clicking. Rotated to the setting and turned the Start knob - nothing. Pulled the Timer knob off by hand and noticed splits down both sides of the knob. ordered a new knob, pushed it - back in business. Partselect was quick about getting me the replacement part. Thanks
