I replaced the timer, and the most difficult part about it was removing the timer from the plastic backer on the dryer, as it was installed with compression clips. Horrible design, but it wasn't made to be replaced by you and me. It was made to be replaced by a $150/hr repairman with a $250 minimum service call.
Hated spending $85 on a Maytag dryer that was barely a year old (and was supposed to be of 'commercial' quality lol), but the alternative was 3x more, or full replacement. I highly recommend DIY projects like this. It'd be great to see links to videos to replace parts, but you can find anything on YouTube.
