Dryer start knob was cracked inside so you couldn't turn to start the dryer
This was so easy. I used needle nose pliers to reach in and remove the metal clip which had slipped off of the inside of the knob and was on the post the knob was supposed to attach to. Next, I lined up the flat side of the "D" of the inside of the knob to the flat side of the "D" on the post and pushed it in until it snapped into place, and I was done. The dryer now works like new.

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.

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.

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.

Had to use y tube
After speaking with your representative and him explaining how to me how simple it would be to switch out this light socket myself. I went on y tube went through the instructions and had to go buy a new dryer. And before you jump to any conclusions I can and do repair and and all of things around my house. I will NEVER purchase anything from you company again ander the pretense that it is so simple. This should have been told to me that an election should have done the job!!!!!! Now not only am I out the money I paid your company but I’m out the money I shelled out for a whole new dryer. I am a very angry customer and I would never recommend you to anyone!!! EVER!!!

Plastic handle in dryer broke off.
All I neede to do was buy the new part and snap it into place on the door. The hardest part was making the door usable while waiting for a new handle. The solution was good old duct tape. I just taped the old broken handle in place until the new one showed up.

Broken control knob
Pulled off the broken control knob (which was really easy, since it was already broken.) Aligned the new knob to the knob shaft which is shaped like a "D", pushed it onto shaft until it was fully seated. Very easy install!!GT

Previous nob cracked
The shaft of the previous nob had cracked and even super glue would not hold it together. The dryer timer could no longer be set without it. Slipped it off and slipped on the new one and it worked perfectly.
