An online video provided perfect instructions. Unplug the dryer. Remove the Lint filter and see two Phillips screws located on the top of the machine, then remove the screws. Then slide a stiff, thin putty knife under the right front corner between the top and the front panel. The clip inside has small feet holding it in place, so you need to angle the putty knife up slightly, then push in towards the back of the dryer while lifting up on the top. The corner will lift away from the front. Repeat the process on the other front corner. Now lift up the top that is hinged at the rear. I used a 24" 1 x 2 board to keep the top up. Open the front door and remove the two screws that hold the switch in place then unplug the switch on the inside of the dryer and remove. Plug in the new switch (2 or 3 wires may be present, but it doesn't matter). Attach the new switch using the two screws you removed. Lower the lid and tap each front corner to reengage the clips, then put the two screws back in at the lint filter. Replace the filter, plug the dryer back in, and you're done. I honestly think that it took longer to type these instructions than it took to do the actual repair.

Followed instructions on web site video. Made repair very easy.

Installed new door switch, so, so simple. Unplug dryer, remove lint screen, undo 2 scews located at base of lint screen opening. Use flat head screw driver to pry up dryer top, once open, rest the top against the wall. Now you will see the door switch in the right hand corner at front of the dryer.Open the dryer door , remove 2 screws holding the broken switch, disconnect wire from dryer, click in the new switch, put everything back together, plug in the dryer and go! Super quick and easy, wish I had just done this months ago!!!!

My husband simply changed the switch and now I could'nt be happier. Thank you for sending the switch so quickly!

Very simple. First, unplug the dryer. Unscrew the 2 screws that hold the lint screen in place and remove the lint screen. Now comes the only complicated part. The video recommends using a putty knife to get the top of the dryer to open. I recommend plastic wedges (you can buy one for less than $1 at a local hardware store; I used 2) because then you will not damage the aluminum, which is very easy to do. Basically you put the wedges (I used two) into the opening and hit then very gently with a hammer and they force the top of the dryer to open. From there you remove the 2 screws that hold the switch in place, unplug the switch (this may take a little bit of effort), plug the new one in, put the screws back in place, put the top back on, screw the lint screen screws back in, put the lint screen back, plug the dryer in and you're good to go. This took all of 10 minutes

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.

Very easy repair, the parts diagram made the repair very easy. Saved me allot of money!

I simply took 2 screws out that secure the lint screen to the dryer top. I lifted the lid to find the switch right in front. Two screws hold it in place. I removed the screws and unplugged the old switch. Then in reverse order I installed the new switch. Works fine.

The hardest part was deciding how the get the top cover lifted. My 7 year old son, who is in the cub scouts, wanted to give the repair work a try. I helped him unsnap the two lid clips and the switch connector. My son unscrewed the old switch and installed the new switch. We then had to vacuum up the enormous amount of lint, paper, and misplaced socks that were behind the washer and dryer so that Mom would be happy.

I originally thought that the problem was the door switch assembly, but then noticed the light was still turning on and off and also the dryer did still run if I held the start button in. So then I thought maybe it was the Push to Start Switch, which I replaced very easily. The hardest part about the dryer is getting the aluminum cover off the top. Unless there's an easier way, you take off all the knobs and there's one screw under the timing knob. The cover is connected to the plastic fittings on each end, which I used a screw driver to pry off. It bent it a little, but it's unnoticeable.
The rest was really easy. Unscrew two small 1/4 inch bolts, pull a couple cables with pliers and it's done. Although for me, it wasn't done. Turns out it wasn't the switch. It was actually the Motor Relay that was busted. This part was also very easy to replace. Again, two screws and couple cables, and you're done.
Then put it all back together and the dryer works again.

I checked the motor to make sure it turned freely but it didn't so I knew it was bad, your online instructions made it so easy for me to make the motor replacement, if I ever need any appliance parts ever again .....you can bet I'm buying them from you. I purchased the motor for about 40% less then what it was retailed locally.

Unplug from electricity, turn off gas valve, raise top, remove front. Take drum out of cabinet, unhook gas line from burner assy. unhook electric wires, marking them for re installation. Remove, and replace burner tube. Reinstall burner assy attach wires and gas line. (Check for leaks) Reassemble drum to cabinet, rethread belt thru tensioner, reinstall front, let top back down on unit.

Our lint filter is inside. The hardest was getting the lid off. You have to unscrew the control console from the back then unscrew the remaining piece on the front then slide the top forward to open. Unsscrew the 2 screws inside the door to remove the door latch assembly. Its tough to pull the assembly off, we pried w pliers then quickly attached the new one, put in place, replace the 2 screws, slide the top back on and reattach the control console. Took about 45 min total. Be sure to unplug first!

Pulled back panel off, then removed entire front body. Accessed the blower and the lint cover and removed. Removed drum and belt. Removed motor and replaced, reassembled and plugged in and it worked. Thank you
