Broken plastic door latch
Used nut driver to remove front cover/door assembly. Used screwdriver to pry broken latch receiver out of front cover. Snapped new latch receiver in cover. Old striker/latch nub retained. Reattached cover/door assembly.
Once I realized the drum was to be removed, the actual repair was not difficult. Because of the location of the pulley, it's best to tilt the dryer. Snap ring pliers are required to remove the retaining ring on pulley. I pulled the damaged pulley from the bearing. A small gear puller was needed to removed the frozen bearing. Lightly oil the new bearing. Installing the drum is a challenge because of the loose belt. I used paint tape to hold the belt on the drum. Download the service manual for good exploded parts views.
I took the dryer apart and used the video on the website that helped a lot on how to install the belt and then we put it back together and dryer works great.
The dryer latch had fallen into the dryer door itself and the door no longer stayed latched shut. I purchsed a replacement latch and simply popped it into the hole. No tools! I did leave the old latch to rattle around inside the door whenever it opens though.
Wife let ink pin fall through lint trap and started dryer it broke fan.
Pulled off front of dryer because it made loud noise, lifted clothing drum removed cover for fan and order from model number on fan and replaced. 30 min with help from my son.
I entered the model number and make of the dryer, selected the door latch part and ordered. My order had a link to a video that explained installation. It was pretty easy, and I am a girl :)
Dryer belt worn and stretched. Dryer would not spin.
I ordered the belt, which arrived really fast! Took dryer apart, removed old belt, replaced with new belt. The hardest part was remembering how to put the dryer back together! I think next time I will video the taking apart process so I can see how it goes back! This was the 2nd belt in about 18 years, the dryer works fine, and it sure is cheaper than a whole new dryer! Thanks for saving me money again! Really helps in these hard economic times!
I did a quick research online and found PartSelect to have the best price. I ordered my part on Monday 8/6 and to my tremendous surprise FedEx delivered it Tuesday 8/7!! I did not pay for overnight delivery. My son happened to come by that day and he took a small flathead screwdriver, pried the old one out and inserted the new part. Done in 5 minutes! PartSelect will be my supplier from now on.
easily pried out the old catch. Removed one screw from the door, with pliers pushed the old striker out. Easily snapped the new catch and striker in place, then replaced the screw in the door. Done in about 5 minutes.
Removed the front of the dryer. Took out the drum. Now everything inside is easy to get to. You do not need to remove the top. Upon inspection we found that we also needed to replace both felts, teflon guides, drive belt, and both support rollers ans shafts. Basically we rebuilt the dryer. It's quiet now and working like new.
First, I replaced the male end which was just two screws and simple replacement of pushing the fastener into the door frame. When finished I noticed the female end was damaged as well. Glad the female part came as well. This required taken off the front trim around the door (four screws - 2 each side) and then the door. The installing of the female end was easy with a little push. The damaged female end was already hanging out so easy to grab and remove. Otherwise I would have had to remove the front panel. Note You need to put the door trim back on before reattaching the door.
