William L Collierville , TN February 03, 2015 Dryer taking 2 3 drying cycles to dry my clothes After reading several stories online about what to replace to fix the issue with my dryer not completely drying my clothes I decided to purchase a heating assembly, a sensor and a thermistor. I am not sure which one of these three pieces corrected the issue, but my dryer is back to drying my clothes as it should. The Youtube video's are priceless in helping to find and replace the parts.

Terry H Gulf Breeze , FL July 08, 2017 Appliance: Model DLE5977W (ABWEEUS) No heat. Found the high heat thermostat was defective.I made the mistake of just replacing it instead of investing in the other parts while I had the dryer apart unit was 12 yrs old. The new high heat thermostat failed in a few days so I did what my gut instinct told me in the 1st place & replaced the heater, thermistor, blower thermostat an while I had it apart also replaced the drum seals & belt.
