followed the repair video .. unplug dryer ... removed screws on lint trap .. popped the top off the dryer .. removed the two screws on the switch ..unplugged the switch using a small screw driver .. replaced switch .. put it all back together .. it took about 20 minutes

then the video will not show you how to get the top off. It's very easy once you know where the clips and or screws are located. On my model, I used a putty knife on the bottom of the control panel edges. The panel will then rotate up. Then remove the 3 screws that hold on the top panel. Then slide the top panel out and up. Then you can follow the video to separate the electrical connector and 2 screws to remove the switch. Watch a video that show different techniques for different models.

Googled the symptoms the cure was replace the motor. There was a video done by parts select that made the process even easier. Had it done in about 25 minutes.

Plugged in the switch, put in (2) screws and finished.

Turned off breaker to dryer. Removed 2 lint trap screws, raised top of dryer & unscrewed switch. Replaced door switch, closed top, replaced the 2 screws that hold lint trap, lowered top, then turned breaker back on.

Removed two screws from under dryer lint screen enabling top to be raised. With top being held up, removed two screws holding door switch then pulled wiring harness apart thus removing old part. Reinstalled new switch in reverse order. Very simple.

After reading on line that the door switch fixed the described problem 48% of the time I decided to order a door switch first. Very easy to follow the video instructions that were on line. In less than 15 minutes my dryer was working again.

I removed the part located on the dryer at the top of the door area. I installed the new part with the two screws I removed and BAZINGA...it all worked again. Very pleased!

This problem occurred Thursday afternoon; after I took out a load of dry clothes, it wouldn't restart. I realized that the switch was busted, it used to click but it was just hanging. Watched the video and ordered it right away. It arrived Saturday morning via Fedex and I installed it in about 5 minutes. It probably took longer to watch the video. 23 bucks and the dryer's running perfectly. I've replaced several parts this way on my appliances, always feels good to do it yourself. Good as new.

Unplug power supply or switch off breaker that supplies electricity to appliance .. Remove lint screen there's two star head screws that holds lint screen holder to top cover remove them, using a flat head screw driver there are two clips between top cover and body push screw driver to depress clip while lifting corner do in other after top cover will become free from clips raise top. Unplug old switch remove two star screws to free switch from inside dryer door

Follow the vid it is perfect. The vid came with an email from your company.

Once I had determined that the door switch was broken (the black actuating arm was broken) I ordered a replacement. The procedure to replace it is the reverse of removal of the broken part: unplug the appliance to begin. There are 2 screws that hold the filter frame to the top of the dryer; these are removed and set aside for reuse. The top of the dryer can now be pulled up to gain access to the door switch. Make sure you leave enough space behind the dryer to prop the top up without letting it go backwards. Disconnect the wiring harness plug for the door switch and the unscrew the switch. There are 2 screws accessed from the upper right corner of the open door. Replace the switch, guiding the 2 screws into the mounting holes of the part, remembering to not over torque the screws, connect the wiring harness, close the lid, replace the 2 filter housing screws, plug the dryer back in to the electrical outlet and you should be good to go.

I followed your online video of how to install the new part . I did have an issue getting the top cover off the machine - the video said to pop off at tabs but no such existed- I had to remove 4 screws on the back of the dryer & lift top off - no big deal Then I had some trouble getting the old part unplugged - required two pliers either side to pull apart- VERY securely fastened. Otherwise just so so simple. FIXIT housewife!
