Dryer door latch replacement
It was so easy to repair that my wife did it. She used a screw driver to pop out the old, worn plastic part that the door latch goes into and snapped in the new part and it was all done. So nice to be able to fix it yourself!

Install new latch
Just snapped the new plastic latch into the hole (the hole was there because in trying to extract the old latch, it fell into the inside of the door). Took two seconds. Order to arrival of the part took only 22 hours!

The dryer door latch had broken.
The older latch was removed and the new one was inserted in to the same opening. It was great! We had the new latch within a couple of days after ordering the part. This worked out really well. Thanks!!

broken door latch, door did not stay closed
Saved a lot of time by just using needle nose pliers to break the receiving end of latch off of the front of the dryer. No big deal if parts fall Inside, won't hurt anything. Then just pressed new part into front of dryer. No need to remove front dryer panel.latch piece on door was not broken so I left it alone. Took all of about 2 minutes.

Broken Latch
The dryer latch had fallen into the dryer door itself and the door no longer stayed latched shut. I purchsed a replacement latch and simply popped it into the hole. No tools! I did leave the old latch to rattle around inside the door whenever it opens though.

P;atic latch in in door frame broke.
I removed two screws from the bottom panel,pulled bottom out, and lifted front panel off. Took pliers to back of the old latch to compress the expansion tabs, squeezed and removed. Pushed new one in untill it went through metal backing plate and snapped in place. Replaced the cover and screws. Opened door and took out two screws on the edge and one for the knob. Spread out door halves,used pliers to work out other latch part. Pressed in new part and reassembled. Works great for another twenty years!

Dryer door was not totally sealing causing dryer to run for hours before clothes were dry
I removed the dryer door to make the job easier on a tabletop. Removed the old seal which just popped out. I made sure to place the old seal down next to me exactly how I took it out in the event something went wrong, I could see which way it was facing. I pushed the ridged part of the new seal in the existing slot starting at the bottom....the trick was, I pulled and stretched the new seal ever so slightly as I pushed it into the slot and it went in beautifully! I am a 54 year old capable woman and was at first intimidated...but it was fine. I had to cut the seal a little at the end as it was a bit long.
