Replace the front slides and glides on the dryer
To get to the slides, needed to take off the front panel, the top and then can loosen the front of the dryer. Pull it out enough to get to the slides and replace them.

Dryer Not Starting
First I replaced the timer, but dryer still did not start. took apart dryer, jumper out door and componet near motor to see what problem was and to be able to run dryer while opened up. Actually motor had seized up just enough to not allow motor to start rotating. Lubricated motor shaft and rotated motor for oil to work its way in. Tried starting again and motor started. Buttoned dryer back up and reconnected wires to appropriate places and started dryer again and again.Worked for 4 loads of laundry and still working for 3 loads on Wednesday. Working fine

evidently the pulley spring on video was very very very weak
the pulley spring took so much pressure to hold it down it took 3 men and a boy to hold it and place it in position to to get the belt on. Also there is not enough room to get your arms and hands in without getting some small cuts.Ultimately I removed the screws in the back of the dryer and spread the side of the dryer out to gain proper access. It was an easy repair if the spring would not have been so strong.

Purchased a used dryer & lint filter had holes due to rust
On my GE Dryer the lint filter is located inside the door at the bottom. The filter can just be pulled out by hand & a new one pushed into place

a lot
started with replacing the belt and tension pulley which I purchased from another source. I found your videos on line and they are great. easy to follow. Realized I needed the bottom vent assembly and your prices were better than my local supplier. It was easy to replace thanks to your video. It was nice that you included it in the final order status. The only problems. Did not know the duct felt seal was included with the new duct assembly. I ordered the wrong bearing slides, web site showed both green and white for my model. I now realize I should replace the upper bearing housing. Can I return the unused parts, unopened and have that put as a credit to my next order? Thanks

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.

Control knob spinning, could not get dryer to run.
My husband and I are the least repair-oriented people in the world. We can, however, follow instructions.
We were seriously trying to decide whether to call a repairperson or buy a new dryer, since dryer is over 5 years old, and it does not seem that appliances last any more. (New dryer: probably over $700)
Read about issue on PartSelect. Found clear and easy to follow explanations. Thought we needed a new timer, and considered buying one. Installation instructions seemed clear and simple enough for even us to do. Pulled off old timer knob to discover the back was cracked, which was why it was spinning.
Bought control knob. Pushed it on. Perfect!
Total time for repair: about 10 seconds
Total cost (including shipping) about $33
