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.

Broken dryer belt and broken idler pulley wheel
Looked it up on YouTube and followed the video instructions. Repair went fine after I got the correct parts ordered from two different places before I got the correct parts. Parts Select was the only one that sent the correct parts.

Dryer kept throwing the E1 error indicating the thermistor needed replacement
Unplugged the Dryer first. Removed the two screws from the bottom panel using a 1/4 socket and removed the panel by pulling down and out. Reached behind the blower and removed the connectors from the old thermistor and then the thermistor itself by removing the two 1/4 inch hex head screws. Replaced with new part and after screwing back in, reconnected the wires and replaced the panel. From start to finish, it took me about 20 minutes.

The fan wheel had a blade break off, my bad.
I went on the site and found the part I needed and then watched the video explaining how to dismantle, replace the part, and put the dryer back together. It was easy, especially with the video instructions.

The dryer would not heat up
I first tried replacing the Radiant Flame Sensor, which was located in a tight space and was very difficult to access. I finally gave up and called a handyman to replace it. That didn't fix my problem. I needed a new igniter. That was easy to replace, but it's fragile and I broke the first one...

The lint filter needed replacement due to what is probably normal wear and tear.
I searched for a replacement by entering the model number and serial number of my Kenmore elite dryer. Ordering was extremely simple and it took less than a week to arrive. It fits perfectly.

The door catch on our Whirlpool Dryer had given out.
The repair cost us less than $9.00 and about 1 minute to repair. You can only imagine how much a tech would have charged us!! We are so very happy that we discovered this site . The instruction video they offered, the customer service via their website AND quick delivery of the part, has insured them that we will be repeat customers. Thanks so much !!!!! Bravo!
