the metal plate connecting the door catch was broken, so I ordered the part
I pushed one end of the catch on upper side the hole and when locked, I pushed the other end of the catch to the lower side to get locked. To complete, the white cover was inserted on top of the catch and done.

Dryer was making noise - thought it was the belt, turned out to be the tensioner.
I followed the video provided by ‘Partselect’; although it was not the exact model it was close enough to get the job done with high confidence.

Switch button broke off and it had to be replaced
I ordered this to repair my girlfriend's mother's dryer. But according to my luck, the day the part was to arrive, I suffered an small brain bleed that put me in the hospital for a couple of weeks. I had read the instructions and was able to explain it to my girlfriend who replaced it and got it all back going right!

Making noise when tumbling
Easy repair. Bought replacement parts on Amazon and they lasted 1month. Should have purchased from you in the first place. Re replaced with your parts and no issues.

Wish it would have told us that when the front was removed the dryer drum falls.
Had a problem holding drum in place and putting front back on. Got it together and drum wouldn't turn. Had to tear it a part again and belt had turned.

Replacing the dryer drum drive belt
Very difficult for one person, trying to get the belt engaged into the motor pulley and the idler pulley at the same time. Trying to overcome the tension of the heavy spring on the idler was the main problem, while coping with the small working space with the drum in place. Solved all the problems by removing the drum (for the 3rd time) and making a piece of wood to wedge in against the outside wall of the machine to hold back the spring loaded idler. Then slipped the drum back in place and gently slid the belt around the drum. Then reached in under the drum and slipped the wood piece out while making sure the belt remained on the pulleys. If I had the wood idea at the start, it would have been about a half hour job. Good luck, and don't pinch your fingers.

Handle on the dryer broke
This was super simple - even I could do it! I followed the 3-step instructions which basically described how to hold the new handle and pushed it into the holes in the door. Less than 30 seconds and no tools.
