Replace your dryer door gasket to restore an airtight seal and prevent heat loss. Installs in minutes—just pull out the old, snap in the new. Confirm fit.
The very easy diagnosis was motor seizure. Because the machine is about a decade old, I decided to renovate most of the guts. My DIY project included replacing the motor, blower, drum bearing, belt, and door hinge. The end result is a functional dryer with no left-over parts. Lack of parts and hardware challenged the effort. For example, the blower assembly did not have the slide capture for the motor. I had to use the old one which is showing its age. With the exception of the drum... Read more

This is the gas valve assembly that controls the flow of gas to the burner in a gas dryer. It includes the solenoid coils and valve body that open and close to regulate gas delivery for heating. Replace this assembly if your gas dryer runs but produces no heat, heats intermittently, or if the gas igniter glows but the gas never ignites.
After watching the video, I replaced the gas valve. Read more

This spring connects to the dryer door hinge assembly and provides tension to keep the door properly aligned and functioning. It helps the door open and close smoothly and stay securely shut during operation. Replace this spring if your dryer door won't stay closed, swings open on its own, or if the existing spring is stretched, broken, or missing.

Dryer won't start or door won't stay closed? A faulty door catch prevents the door switch from engaging. DIY-friendly fix with video guide.
I am so blessed. I went online. Found the brackets. Watch the video for the brackets I chose. And lucky me. I did not have to pull the dishwasher out. The installer did not have it flush under the counter. So I was able to pull the dishwasher forward unhook the damage brackets and insert the new. Put the dishwasher back in. Two screws. Now the balanced and secure dishwasher washes better than ever and I did not have to pay an extraordinary fee for a repairman. I'm 68 and take care of a 72 year... Read more

Stationary shelf that sits inside the dryer drum for drying shoes, sweaters, and delicates without tumbling. Replace if rack is missing, cracked, or damaged.
I went online and typed in my model number. I was just going to order the dryer belt, but decided that changing all the movable parts at the same time would be best - I definitely recommend doing this, since it was the tensioner pulley and not the belt. My husband is handy, which is why this was not a problem. The whole dryer needs to come apart in order to do this repair. At first I thought I received the wrong parts because I have a front load washer and dryer set, but the picture on the... Read more
