convert from natural gas orfice to LP gas orfice
I did not do the repair I hired the propane company to do it . It was too difficult for me.they removed top & front of dryer .removed & replaced gas orfice reinstall all parts that were removed. Install and test dryer IT cost me $91.59 for labor & $24.65 for the part & shipping.If the dryer had a side access near the gas valve it could have saved me the cost of labor. I could have done it myself.

Replace 4 roller bearings.
Following the reference video, step by step and taking progress photos along the way, organizing screws and hardware as they were removed.
The discrepancy I found was the new rollers that I received were complete with the shaft. The video with the older rollers instruct removing the rollers from the shaft.
To use the new rollers with the new shaft, requires removing an additional panel at both the front 2 and also the full back panel for the rear 2, to get a wrench on both ends of the shaft, and then attach the new roller bearing shaft assembly and re-install the panel.
Other than that, it went very smoothly and the result was a quiet rotating drum. No more thumping!
My dryer actually required 2 moisture sensors, but had only ordered one pack, which only came with 1 sensor. For whatever reason, I thought the pack would have had the 2 pieces.
Another reviewer made note to wear work gloves as some of the hardwares metal edges are quite sharp. Following that advice I completed the repair in 3 hours without a scratch. Thanks for the detailed video Partselect team and good luck to all attempting repairs.

igniter would not light
Initially replaced igniter. Didn't think it was bad though. Read other suggestions on another website. None were the correct diagnosis for my situation. And when I figured it out they did not offer correct part. The dryer thermistor temp sensor (probe sensor) is what I replaced. Found it on Parts Select. I did replace other parts also. But that's the one that ultimately was the issue.
Was not hard at all if one is even a little handy.

1 of 4 Drum Rollers Froze Preventing drum rotation.
Replaced idle pulley wheel, worn drum belt and all 4 rollers (1 frozen) due to dryer age. Site video re general disassembly/re-assembly easily adapted to this model and very helpful with exception of replacement of drum rollers. New rollers received (AGM75510755) were pre-mounted on included shafts. This required removal of existing roller shafts to replace with new shaft/roller units. Site video shows placing a new roller on existing shafts after removing a plastic retaining clip. New roller/shaft assembly is a better option and fortunately I did not order extra retainer clips! Rear drum roller shafts have small carved out space to fit a box end wrench to remove shaft nut. Watch out for sharp edges on internal steel parts!

My Door Strike broke
I watched video by searching by the part number. It was recommended by Sales Lady(Can't remember her name). I removed door from the unit and then removed all the screws on the door. There was about 16 of them. I then pushed on the 2 plastic clips which raised one side of the door. This exposed where the Door Strike goes into. I removed the screw that holds Door Strike in place. Inserted new Stronger Door Strike and lined up hole with screw slot. Screwed back in till tight, thus locking Door Strike in. Inserted all screws back in, and attached door back to unit. Tested fine and have now done several loads no problems. A $4 part would have cost me hundreds by service company. Thanks Part Select!

I would turn on the dryer it would run for about 10-20 seconds and then shutoff, and could smell something burning
There’s all sorts of videos on it I watched. It was actually very simple

Dryer was making a terrible sound.
An appliance repairman determined the problem which was that it needed new pulleys and thankfully PartSelect carried them. He installed them in an hour and my dryer runs fine now.
