1. Unplugged the dryer.

2. Disconnected the exhaust pipe at the dryer.
3. Pulled dryer away from back wall about two feet.
4. Removed the two bottom panel screws (floor level) and removed panel.
5. Removed the two door panel screws and removed door panel by pulling out at the bottom until the two spring clips released from the top panel.
6. Noted the colors of the wires going to the door switch and removed (green, black and white from left to right).
7. Noted the colors of the wires going to the lamp and removed (bottom - black and top - red.)
8. Removed the two top panel screws, lifted up the top panel and leaned it against a support.
9. Removed the four bulkhead screws and carefully lifted up and removed the bulkhead being sure to support the drum. Took note of the belt path around the motor and idler pulleys.
10. Reached under the drum and took the belt off the idler pulley and motor drive pulley.
11. Used the belt to lift and remove the drum through the front opening.
I noticed that the internal vent pipe had become disconnected (which probably caused internal overheating) so I fixed that.
I then removed the wires to the thermostats and tested both for continuity. The limit thermostat was bad. I also saw that the belt was becoming cracked. I ordered a new limit thermostat and belt.
Installation of the new parts was a snap. I removed the old thermostat with the nut driver and replaced with the new one and pushed the wire connectors back on. Replacing the belt was a little trickier but not a problem. (Be sure to route the new belt correctly as noted on Step 9 and place ribbed surface next to drum.)
I closed up the dryer by reversing the opening steps.
