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.

Dryer made noise and squeaked the entire time the dryer was running.
I watched the Parts Select video with Steve and he showed me how to do the repair. Took the top cover off and front door panel, I did not undo the wiring on the door switch. Removed the old top bearing (it snaps in and out) put the new one in placed the glide bearing put everything back together and no more noise. It worked.

It was a bit difficult because we ordered the wrong parts twice.
Handyman installed the finally correct switch. It was not the starter button.
This company was wonderful. Replaced each part without charge and rushed the replacements to us. Can' say enough good things to thank them for their courtesy.

The dryer only provided heat on the timed settings - on other settings, the drum rotated but there was no heat
The repair is straightforward. Three phillips head screws along the top on the backside hold the control panel in place. Once the panel is loosened, the timer can be lifted from its mounting. Holding the new timer in one hand, carefully remove wires one at a time from the old timer and placing them on matching points on the new timer. Once all the wires have been moved from the old timer to the new timer, place the new timer in its mounting and reinstall the control knob. Finally reattach the panel with the three phillip head screws. Job complete.

Dryer Timer Knob not advancing properly.
I thought the dryer timer had gone bad, but was probably just the knob. Exact parts on this site. Pulled dryer out at angle to access back. Removed the three top screws and the front panel easily pulled off. Removed knob to release the part and realized that the knob was probably the problem! Broken plastic.... I still replaced the dryer timer since the dryer is 2014. Took photo to ensure all wires replaced in same spots. Both parts had a letter with the wire color as well. I watched a youtube video and knew I had to rotate the timer counterclockwise to remove it from the panel - two slots hold it onto the panel. I pulled the wires one at a time, some needed pliers to remove. Installed wires on new part, installed timer on panel clockwise, re-attached front panel. When I re-installed the knob, it failed. I ordered the knob from here and used the signal knob temporarily until it arrived. Works great with new knob.

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.

Broken piece
Snap out the broken part. Snap in the new part. Use caution with the wires, but don’t have to disconnect them.
