heating element went bad
Took the dryer apart in an adjacent unused bedroom. Saw that the element was bad. Ordered new part from Part Select and installed when it arrived. The whole situation went as smooth as could be.

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.

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.

Timer Does Not Move
Replacement of the timer was very simple. The only problem I have is that the replacement part did not fix the problem. No thought required.

Dryer Would Not Heat And Dry For Set Time
The knob had cracked on the back side. All you had to do is pull off the knob and slide the new one on. Pretty foolproof.

the timer knob would not turn on the dryer
Pulled off the knob, saw it was cracked, therefore it was not turning. The small metal part was stuck on the machine bit that the knob fits on so I pulled it off with a plier. Ordered a new timer knob that came with the metal part inside fit it on by hand in less than one minute.

Start knob broke from being turned too far
Fortunately I watched the video on how to change the knob. I may not have noticed that the metal clip part of the old knob was still attached. Once the old part was removed, the new knob slid right into place.

timer knob on dryer had striped
At first i tried to repair the old knob before ordering one with tape and glue.kind of a mans thing you know and needless to say that didn't work so for a little while the man thing was we would adjust a crescent wrench to fit the shape of the shaft to set our time on the dryer. i looked all over our home depot stores and lowes here in town and no one carried the part. my wife Angela decided to look on line and see if anyone carried a part like this. thanks to you guys we were able to order the part and it came in and while i was at work my wife called me and said the dryer is fixed. she just fit the new knob on the shaft and it works like new. thank you part select you made my wife happy.
