John C Auburndale , MA November 15, 2015 Appliance: Model I FORGOT TO BRING IT HOME. Door latch was missing lint filter handle was broken & the door was missing a cable and spring on the right side of door The door latch I just had to pop it into place so that the door will stay shut. The Lint Filter I just had to insert it. Now with the new Lint Filter with its handle makes it a lot easier to take it out of its position to clean it. The old Lint Filter's handle was broken so it was hard to take it out of its position to clean it. The cable and spring is for the inside of the right side of the door. With the left side cable and spring in place it was still easy to open and shut the door. But when I installed the right side of the door with a new cable and spring the door now has better tension so that it can be opened and held in different positions. To install the new cable and spring I attached the cable to the spring, took off the top of the dryer and looked down inside to see how the left side cable and spring was attached. When I saw how it was attached from the door to the top of the dryer frame I dangled the cable that I attached to the spring and with a pair of long needle nose pliers I was able to grab the cable as it was dangling in front of the hole that is located on the front of the dryer with the long needle nose pliers and pulled it through while holding onto the spring. (It took me about 7 or 8 minutes to be able to grab the cable and pull it through the hole). I then installed the cable into the hole on the back of the door and then I stretched the cable so that I could attach it to the dryer frame. Read More...
