My Kenmore dryer door catch was worn out, so the dryer door wouldn't stay closed, and I was unable to dry my laundry.
I identified the correct catch of the three that were included in the package by matching its number to that on the old catch that I had pried out of the door using a flat screwdriver. I centered the new catch over the square hole in the door and pressed it into place. Then I used some needle-nose pliers to twist and remove the metal pin that fits into the catch from the main dryer housing. I replaced that with the new piece included in the kit, gently tapping it into place with a hammer. The repair complete, the door worked perfectly. Thanks for your help and for the speedy delivery of the kit.

The middle tub would not come out
Sprayed wd40 - limescale - boiling water , NOTHING WORKED after half an hour reapeted spraying and pulling the tub and shaking it back and forth - still nothing
Finally I replaced the center nut loosely than putting a piece of wood on top of it and with me holding the tub slightly high - my wife than whacked it hard several times , I also was turning the tub every whack
When it came out it was full of rust and grime - it would have never come out without what we did
Replacing the the rubber washer was easy - machine works and no more leaking- thank you for your video which really helped to start the job

Dryer stopped heating
(Always unplug dryer before making any repairs) I opened the dryer and checked the heating element. Making sure that the connection was good and nothing was damaged, I determined the problem was overheated wires. They melted and lots connection. I replaced them with the heating element wire connection kit. Easy to install and simple to get right. I cleaned the dryer again with a vaccum cleaner, removing all the lint, and checked the vents, making sure they were clear...I turned the breaker on (it was tripped when the dryer overheated)and everything worked great.

Used your exploded view of the area to determine the problem-found the broken part and reassembled following the drawing. I felt like a pro after a test and kept my wife happy. [only lost a few days waiting for the parts which arrived as expected]

The dryer was squeaking and would not heat at all.
The first thing I did was call my friend Donnie who manages some apartment buildings and who is always complaining about fixing things and getting the right parts to fix things. He told me what to order from PartsSelect and when the parts got here I called him up and he did the repair work.

He was reluctant to do the work at first but after he found out I had ordered the parts from PartsSelect he was happy to do the work. "Their parts are always right and they always work," was what he said after he had my dryer working just like new. So if you know nothing about fixing things and buying parts just call PartsSelect and you will be fine. Just ask my friend Donnie!!!

My timer dial had mostly crumbled away from age.
DO NOT WATCH THE INSTALLATION VIDEO ON WEBSITE! It's a nice video- just put me through a lot of grief because it did not apply to my washer. It is not necessary to open the control panel to pull out something at the bottom of the timer shaft(that isn't there)...or anything else requiring tools. Just UNSCREW the knob, and pull up on the old dial to remove it. Then line up the large tab on the new dial with the large cutout on shaft, and press it on. Then screw the knob back on. That's it. Finished. 5 minutes with correct instructions.

The air heater would not heat air to dry on the heat cycle
I misdiagnosed the problem as heater element because I did not have my voltage meter with me. The problem was the heat thermostat that senses temperature in the drum and burns out if it's too high. There are two other safety cut off thermostats that when triggered will reset themselves when the temp cools. All three should be tested before looking for something else, like the cycle selector switch; that one is not only more complex but very difficult to access. One is on the heater element itself, the other senses the temperature of air flowing out of the heater element. I believe this array of thermostats is similar on every drier. Each one should be tested with an electrical multifunction tester before guessing what's wrong. The drum thermostat, a $13 part, was the easiest to replace, once I got the back of the drier completely open, a not too difficult task. And, as I found out talking to a repairman, is the thermostat that most commonly fails. I will add that Partselect was most accommodating in providing advice and in authorizing me to return the heater element and refunding the overnight shipping fee. And their web site is terrific--the only drawback being you have to read it over thoroughly before concluding you are an "expert". I would work with them before any other vendors. Good luck!

pop the cap off the top of center agitator unit, remove one 11mm bolt and remove unit from washer. take apart, remove & replace broken dogs and reassemble. I actually bought the wrong kit, my cam is much longer but since the problem was caused by the broken dogs it did not matter.
