Dryer Baffle had broken & needed replacement
Removed door &clips on latch side of door using a philips screw driver. Removed the dryer front panel by hand exposing the two metal clips holding down the dryer top panel. Using a nut driver, the two clips were removed allowing the top panel to be raised. The dryer drum was manually rotated to the location of the broken baffle. Using a nut driver, the broken baffle was removed. The new baffle was installed in reverse order.

Drying had starting making a loud screeching noise
The noise started intermittent and got worse. After watching an online repair of a very similar model and same brand, I decided to tackle it myself. The problem was that one of the drum support rollers had seized up. The shaft that support roller road on was also a little sticky. The noise was caused by the roller hitting the sheet metal behind the drum support roller and scraping on it. I replaced the shaft and drum roller and believe that solved the problem. I ordered other parts for the dryer drum assembly and replaced them while I had it apart. I didn't want to take it apart twice so I didn't take the time to disassemble to diagnose it. I just ordered them all and replaced them all while I was in there.

Dryer would not turn on
We had been having increasing problems with the dryer timer knob for about a year - it finally gave out last week. I took apart the control panel and jotted down the model number of the timer motor. I ordered the part and within two days, it arrived. It was a simple matter of unplugging the multi-pin power connector, swapping out the unit and putting everything back together again. I think the operation took me 25 and only one cuss word. I'm not a mechanic but this was a piece of cake to do on my own. I saved myself over $100 in labor costs and my wife is very happy!!! (that's really the best part of this story)

Dryer produced no heat.
I searched for possible symptoms and viewed a video about how to remove the heating element. There were three possible parts listed for this symptom: Thermostat, thermal coupling and heating element. I decided to check the heating element continuity, so I removed the heating element. Once I looked at the heating element, I could see a break in the heating coil, so I know the problem. I put my existing thermostat on the new heating element, plugged in 4 wires and installed two screws to secure the heating element, then reinstalled the front cover to the dryer.
