Timer was hard to turn and knobs broke
This repair has been done to death on youtube etc. My dryer and washer are located in a small space with folding doors. The worst part was getting at the screws in back of the control panel. Once this was accomplished it was a simple matter of folding the panel forward and removing the old timer with wires attached and one by one removing the wires while attaching them to the respective terminals on the new timer. A simple task and then replacing the screws to refasten the control panel. This is my second replacement of the timer. I wonder why a more reliable timer doesn't exist for these units. I would have paid a premium price for a more reliable timer.

When moving the dryer there was a loud pop and the dryer circuit breaker tripped.
When the dryer was installed last year by the dealer, one of the hot leads was not screwed down tightly. Over time the screw loosened and began to arc causing the plastic holding the screw to melt. When I moved the dryer the hot lead fell off and hit the terminal block cover shorting out the dryer. I was able to locate the exact terminal block I needed with their helpful dryer section diagrams. The part came in the time they said. I took off the old terminal block with just 2 attached screws. i kept track of which screws held the hot and neutral conductors and the ground before I removed them. I was then able to slide on the dryer wires and attached the home conductors. I put on the cover plate, turned on the circuit breaker and it worked.

Black marks showing up on garments.
Once I figured out how to remove the control panel. The rest was very easy. Upon pulling off the knob in the center of the control panel, there was a screw behind it. Once removed I used the palm of my hand and gave it a couple of upward hits in the center while the door was open. It slid up and I removed the electrical connections. Then carefully removed the top by pushing from the rear of the machine slightly and lifted off. Then removing the screws that hold the front on . After that it went pretty easily, reassembly went in reverse and. That was that!

The dryer lint chute was cracked and catching our clothes.
We watched the YouTube video and had it installed in no time. Saved money doing it ourselves.

Timer wouldn't advance
We disconnected the dryer. On the back panel, we removed the screws and exposed the existing timer. We carefully disconnected it from each of the connections, then plugged in all of the connections on the new timer. We put the back panel back in place, secured it, and replaced the knob on the timer.

Bad dryer motor
Replaced dryer motor which was a perfect fit thanks to your help. The process was helped by the internet videos available for the step by step procedure of taking the dryer apart and replacing the bad motor. I also was able to completely clean the inside of the dryer thoroughly, and reassemble it back together .
