Dryer would not turn on
It took a while to diagnose the problem. I finally figured out it was the door switch by pushing it with my finger with the dryer door open and starting the dryer. It would run like that, but the switch was not being pressed in enough by the door. I ordered the switch and I should have been able to replace in about 15 min. But the old switch broke while I was removing it and it fell back inside the unit. So I had to remove the top and the front panel to access the door switch. That's why it took so long. If that had not happened it would have been a much simpler repair.

Timer Knob - Stripped
Parts arrived and it took me less than 5 minutes to get the packaging open and install the knew timer knob. I had ordered a separate D-ring; however, one was already present in the timer knob so now I have an extra.
