latch not working on Kenmore dryer
The latch for my Kenmore dryer was only $10 with shipping and just what I
needed. No instructions included, so I googled installation and it was fixed
in less than 3 minutes... YEAH... I am happy!

Dryer door wouldn't stay latched shut during cycle
In a matter of moments the dryer that I had grown to despise was back on my good list! I took a pair of pliers and removed the old parts, then inserted the new catch kit. I only about 5 minutes to do AND I love my dryer again!

The switch in the door of the dryer was broken so it would keep running when you opened the door
I losened the two screws under the flap covering the filter or lint screen. With the screws removed the entire top of the dryer slides forward and hinges up allowing access to the door switch. The door switch is removed by taking two screws out with access obtained by opening the dryer door. Replacing the bracket/switch was easy and a simple reverse of the disassembly put the dryer back together. I would highly recommend doing this repair yourself.

Plastic door latch was cracked.
I removed the plastic latch using a screw driver to pry it out. I had to use pliers to completely remove it. Then I snapped the new piece in. It worked perfectly the first time. Very easy repair.

My dryer door would not stay shut.
I removed the old door catch by using a screwdriver to pry it out, then I popped the new door catch in its place and it snapped right in. It took less than 5 minutes to do the whole job.

Door latch broken
Repair was straight forward with only two screws to undo. Popped the two sides in and I was done. What was amazing was the lowest cost on parts and the timely delivery.

dryer would shut off, make tons of noise and then wouldn't start at all
My husband figured this would be an easy fix....until he realized the part he had turn to remove the motor was made of plastic and was basically welded to the fan, so needless to say, we are now also replacing the fan....once the fan was loose, it was very easy to put in the new motor and fan and reassemble the dryer...good luck and watch out for those plastic moving parts!
