The dryer drum wasn't spinning, but I could hear the motor and feel the heat from the heating element.
UNPLUG the dryer. I removed the top panel by removing the two screws at the top of the dryer door. There are some hooks toward the back of the top panel, so you'll need to slide it to the left to get it off. The front panel needs to be removed by removing two screws just inside the top left and right corners. Lift and set it aside. I didn't disconnect the door wiring, but you can if you need to do so. I just spun the front panel to the left and out of the way. With the drum exposed, I confirmed the belt was broken. I replaced the belt, then the front panel and top panel. While I was inside the dryer, I did a through cleaning with the vacuum to get all the lint.
The video on the site is easy to understand and a snap to follow.

Knob broke so we were using vise grips to turn with. The stem broke off so we had to replace the timer.
Took pics of the wiring after taking off back top plate. Found PartSelect on line. Put in part and ordered, quick,easy and simple. They did everything as stated. Put all wires back on and closed up. Tickled pink with PartSelect and will definitely use them again.

Timer dial failed completely
Two surprises: (a) after removing two screws, instrument console required a hard whack to slide it back so it would come off; and (b) the timer was held in place by a torx (T-15) screw. The photo I took of the wiring was essential for installing the new timer.

unable to set timer, knob stripped
Timer was extremely difficult to turn, causing the knob to strip. Unplugged power to dryer.
Pulled knob off, pulled dryer out to get at the back side, removed the small bolts that hold the back on, pulled back off and let it hang by the ground wire, looked at switch away and saw it was attached by a nut and a torque screw,and two hooks, removed screw and nut, looked at new switch,I put a little oil on the shaft to free it up,and aligned it the same as the old one, took the old one off by sliding it up to clear the hooks and let it hang by the wires, installed new switch with nut and torque screw and hooks. Then looked at the wires on the old switch and transferred each wire one at a time to the same terminal on the new switch. Screw the back on to the dryer, plug power in, move dryer back in place put knob on.

Dryer leaving stains on clothes
Shortly after a piece of felt (the duct felt seal) was visible on the drum intererior, the dryer started making metal-on-metal squeaks. A few weeks later it started leaving'machine part' type brown/black marks on clothes. With the model # it was quite easy to find and order the correct part, which arrived a few days later. The accompanying video made installation quite straightforward, even for someone who's NEVER worked on a dryer before - even though the model used wasn't the same. Over half the repair time was to clean out lint and dirt from the various exposed parts. Overall, an easy and effective repair that solved the staining issue. Follow the video and you won't go wrong.

WAITING ON PART
Still waiting for your parts. over two weeks to get part which was a hinge for something, I don't know what, but not my dryer seal. You said you would refund shipping and wrong part and charge me for a new order. End result was I got charged extra shipping for your mistake. The part still is MIA and it has been 5 weeks since I originally ordered. Will never do business with you again.
