Door catch on dryer broke and would not capture the door.
I watched the video, took a knife and released the outer catches on the stainless steel spring clip, but part of the broken catch was inside the clip crossways and would not let the clip come out. I had a set of hook shaped picks (from Harbor Freight) and I tried to pull out the broken piece, but it fell inside the door. I was then able to pull out the spring steel clip, and push the new part in and it caught. I left the broken parts inside the door, thinking it would not hurt anything. Door latches OK now.

Door Catch came apart inside the door
The door catch dislodged in the door and apparently broke. The hardest part was getting it out of the door because in trying to remove it, the piece fell into the inside of the door. I could have easily just installed the new part (it snaps right in with great ease, that part took exactly 5 seconds). But hearing that old piece rattle around inside the door would have made me a little nuts. So I decided to take the door apart to retrieve it. It was just a bunch of screws from around the perimeter of the door, but I also had to unhinge it to do the job. Putting the door back together wasn't as easy as I had hoped, with some pretty tight fits and the glass dislodging. Had a few moments where I was regretting. But I got the old part out, snapped the new one right in. I'm sure an appliance guy would have charged me $60 - 90 just for coming out. Instead I repaired the dryer for the cost of a $3 part. One small lesson learned here -- dryer doors are much like refrigerator doors, or at least mine is. There is a door catch on both sides of the door so you can hinge it to open either way. I could have done the repair for nothing! But I love parts select for just this reason. I don't do major repairs, but replacing pieces on appliances couldn't be easier with this service!

Tub Was Not Turning
Pulled front of dryer off then pulled the tub out. I replaced the idler pulley arm and put a new belt on. I had to prop the tub up to put the belt on and put everything on in the reverse order from taking it off. This was not that difficult to do. I saved alot of money doing this myself.

The door catch had broken and would no longer hold the door closed to allow the cycle to start.
The door catchh is easily removed by sqweezing the base and pulling out through the opening from where it was installed. The replacemet simply installs in reverse order. There are two such catches on the door. Reversing the catch from the hinge side of the door will help keep you going until the replacement parts arrive. I suggest ordering two replacements and keeping the used parts for temporary use if you should have trouble again.

The door catch had broken.
When the part came in it was really simply. All I had to do was push the new catch into the hole and make sure it was in all the way and secure. A repair man would have charged at least $65 and it took me all of 1 minute to do.
