At first, I took a screwdriver and pushed it back into the slot it came from but it just kept coming back out. I then went on the internet to find a parts list just to find out what the thing was. I came across Appliance Parts Pros which not only showed the part but also included a video which showed how easy it was to replace the part. I ordered it and received the part in two days. It was easy to replace and besides, when I took the front panel off the dryer, I discovered that the air exhaust vent was almost plugged with lint. We could have had a fire! I have kept the exhaust hose clean but I didn't know that it could get plugged up inside the dryer! The dryer wasn't working efficiently because the air could just verily get out the discharge vent. The dryer is 10 years old and I had never had the front panel off. I cleaned out the vent and replaced the part and the dryer works like new! Thanks Applicance Parts Pros!!!
