Clothes were getting trapped at edge of drum and were being burned.
Pulled dryer forward for access. Raised top by pressing clips on front. Removed front panel 2 screws. Removed old felt flange with plastic guides. Cleaned surface of old glue. Dried. apply cement per instructions applied new felt. New fit was snug and required some manipulation. When in place it helped to hold felt until cured. works great. Would not have known what problem was without the videos @ Part Select. Thanx for info and part. David

Drum noise
Disconnected and moved the unit outside, just to clean the lint out of it. Removed the top, then two screws holding the front panel on. Disconnected the two door switch wires. Peeled off the old upper seal and cleaned surface with wire brush. Applied the supplied glue and clamped the new drum guide in place. While it was setting up, I cleaned out the entire inside of the dryer to eliminate the old trapped lint. Replaced the front panel and mounting screws. Reattached the wires and closed the top. Relocated back inside and plugged it in and reconnected the vent tube. Turned it on and it worked perfectly.

clothes getting stuck in drum and leaving brown marks on them
I want to suggest that you also purchase the lower drum seal or guide as well. When I took it apart I realized I needed it also.

Washer leaks when spin drying
Put the front up on a 4 X4 block. Removed the two screws at the bottom of the front panel. Slid the front panel down and off. With pliers squeezed the spring clamp and removed the hose, slid the hose out of the machine. Slid in the new hose into the hole in the back, put the spring clamp on the hose, slid the pump end of the hose onto the pump and using pliers put the spring clamp back on. Put the front panel back on and the screws, removed the block. Tested the washer.

I had no problem
I used a flat-head screw driver to lift the main lid up off the washer to get to the washer lid safety switch..Unplug the plug from the electrical outlet. Removed the 4 wires from the switch, and removed 2 screws to remove the old switch..Then install the new safety switch in reverse order.
