DE28A5YTFB Gibson Dryer - Instructions

Everything I needed to know was already on your website. Prying off the top of the dryer (with a big screwdriver under the front of the top) was the hardest thing, since I was afraid I would break something. Only then can the front be removed (taking out just 2 phillips screws). The rest is easy.

after checking on line, i shut off the gas and disconnected the burner unit from dryer. after removing unit i tested all electronic parts and found the igniter was bad. i removed same and ordered new part. when new part was delv. i reinstalled the unit and all worked like new.

Removed the panel between the dryer and washer. The gas valve was right in front. The wires were in a plug and easy to remove from old part. The solinoid held in place by a clamp with two screws.

pushed screwdriver into the two clips between the top and front to release the connection. took off front. at the bottom front left side, took out screws to access parts that needed to be replaced. put everything back together. dryer works like new. easy.

Popped in new catch and used needle nose pliers to squeeze old latch flat and remove from door. New one just popped into place.

Your website was very helpful in narrowing down and diaganosing the problem. A continuity tester verified an open solenoid. Ordered Sunday evening, parts arrived Tuesday. Ignition coils drop in place with a holddown bracket and one screw. Wiring harness is reattached. Front of dryer is put in place followed by the top. Plugged in the dryer (it is just commom sense to have the power off). Started dryer, of course it ran WITH heat. The end of the story is HAPPY WIFE, HAPPY LIFE. Happy to do business with you.

It was super easy ! The part came and I had it done in less than ten minutes. No mechanical skills necessary !

Another parts website, instructed taking apart the dryer top and front and electrical connections etc. I thought I'd have to buy a new dryer!. Then I found your website, and I was laughing so hard, because your instructions were so simple and logical and took me under a minute to do the "repair". I used a plastic ice scraper instead of a metal putty knife (so as not to scratch the finish) to pry out the broken part. Then using my fingers on one hand I pushed in the new part. I closed the door to make sure the dryer started. It did. The end. Also I was told it would be a couple days till I received the ordered part. It was here in less than 24 hrs. Thank you for your excellent help.

This repair took about fifteen minutes. I popped the top of the dryer using a flat-blade screwdriver, leaned it back against the back wall, unscrewed two screws holding the front panel, removed the five electrical spade contacts after marking which went where, swung out the panel and lifted it off. After that, it was a simple job to unscrew the plate holding the solenoids in, at the bottom left of the unit. I replaced the solenoids, closed everything up and now the dryer is working better than it has in the last three years, or so. If your dryer is heating sporadically, the odds are 85%, or more, that a solenoid swap-out will correct the problem.

I replaced the latch on the body and on the door and it worked very well. I had to watch the video first. Thank you.

Flame Sensor didn't fix it but, it was easy to replace. Unplug electric. Lift up the top and remove wires from switch and light switch. Remove screws that hold on the front and remove front panel by lifting up and out. Sensor is on the left side of the burner, held on with just one screw. EASY!

Never knew I was handy, but I did it! I was reluctant to spend a couple $100 on a repair visit, so found this site and bought the coils I needed for only $26+tax. It's pretty easy. I just lifted up the top of the dryer with a screw driver, should snap open. Then unscrewed the front panel with two screws from the inside. Then located the old coils on the bottom left. The bracket that holds them is a little difficult to remove as you need to have a small philips screw driver to get the back one. But once I got that off, just unplugged the old ones and put the bracket back, then the panels and it WORKED. The only problem I have is that I didn't take the door switch off properly and now the dryer doesn't stop spinning if I open the door and want to check the clothes. So I may have to get someone in eventually.

Remove top cover 2 screws then remove front panel 6 screws remove wire connecter on the door panel. ignition coil is on the bottom left side need a short hand srew driver remove 2 screws remove plate holding coils remove coils and connecter. Reinstall in reverse installation. Dryer still didnt heat up so back to the drawing board :)

Inserted clasp in frame of door

The other door latch broke and fell out. I simply pushed the New Door Latch in the hole, and it snapped into place.
