I then decided to do some research on YouTube on Dec 8th for dryer repair and came across a video that was made by AppliancePartsPros.com. The video covered...

Could not shut door without jiggling middle shelf because at align connections between spray arm and tube. James R. • Jacksonville , FL • May 25, 2020
Replaced both the Spray Arm and the Spray Arm Water Supply Tube.

Noisy spin Troy E. • Salem , NH • April 16, 2018
