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.

Start switch was stuck in the on position internally. By the way this is for a gas dryer not listed in your appliance type
Un plugged dryer from wall - pulled off knob - Unscrewed 4 screws on top of panel - Opened panel by pulling it forward - Removed 2 leed wires - removed switch by turning switch counter clockwise - installed new switch put the wires back on and screwed the panel back on. Done deal.

My dryer wouldn't start, I saw the part on your website after reading comments from other people
I put the nob on the post, one side is flat the rest of the lever on the dryer is round. So I matched up the lever with he inside of the new knob and slid it on . The dryer works perfectly. I ordered it on May 5 th and the nob arrived May 15 th. I guess Georgia is a long way from Arizona. But the part fit perfectly and I am happy. Thankyou.

Plastic tab broke on handle --- temp taped on.
My daughter, who has the dryer in Florida, made the repair herself. She removed the broken handle that had been temporarily taped in place. Cleaned off tape residue with Goo-Gone. Then took the new handle and snapped it into place. Worked just like it was supposed to.
