The dryer shuts off after a short while I have replaced the circuit board thermal fuse and limit switches and am getting a ce code could this be the thermistor on the blower housing?
For model number 41781100000

Hi Guy, thank you for your inquiry. You will need to take the dryer apart and make sure the vents inside the dryer are not blocked, especially the area under the lint filter. We recommend replacing the thermistor, part number PS2349280. If it does not help, check if your venting goes into the wall, then you are more than likely going to need it cleared. It runs fine for 2–3 minutes and trips a sensor because it is getting too hot, likely due to a vent restriction. If the ducts all look clean and the unit still shuts off after some time, this means that your outside damper is either not opening enough to allow enough air to go out. Or the vent is too long and needs an in-line blower installed halfway down the line. Try removing the damper on the outside of your house and see if the error still occurs. If the issue persists, then try a different damper that allows more air outside. Otherwise, if you still get an error, you need to have an in-line blower installed to help vent the air out of your house. Good luck with your repair!

Noisy Dryer
When I described the noise to a YouTube appliance diagnostician, I was directed to check the felt seals front and back of the rotating drum for wear, tears, or foreign objects. As it happens the felt seals looked find and there were foreign objects so, not wanting to disassemble and reassemble the dryer more than I had, I ended up replacing all the replaceable moving parts that I considered possible culprits: The idler tension spring, the idler tension bracket (which includes a nylon pulley wheel), the drum belt, the five rubber-tipped bearings that support the drum and keep it in place, and the foam seal on the blower housing which seemed a little brittle and old, as well as high-temperature adhesive for the latter. The instructional videos here and on YouTube were extremely helpful (I doubt that I would have attempted this job at all, had I not watched these ahead of time). The most time-consuming aspect was waiting for the arrival of the parts as I didn't order them all at the same time or all from the same place (I ordered from whomever could ship me a given part the fastest. Disassembly took less than an hour. Re-assembly with the new parts in place took about the same but was a little more awkward because this appliance sits in a very narrow closet and it's difficult to ensure that the 4" flexible duct stays in place when sliding the appliance back into the closet. No regrets. Now I know the basics if this dryer needs attention in future and I also know all the parts that I can eliminate as suspects in any future maintenance (the parts that I replaced)

Dryer wasn't heating properly, drying took too long.
Removed back of dryer with electric nut driver. Lots of screws. Removed old heating element to better access wires and thermostats. Removed baffle at end and transferred to new heater element. Transferred thermostats to new element, reconnected wiring in correct order. Installed new heater element in correct position using tab to locate. Replaced back of dryer. Reconnected dryer vent. Toughest part was squeezing out of space after reconnecting dryer vent. Unfortunately, too short for my weight.

Ice Maker Repair
The ice maker wouldn't fill with water. The maker itself appeared to operate but the tray would not fill. I ordered the part from PartSelect.com. The website allowed me to conveniently match a picture of the part with my part on the refrig. I ordered the part and it arrived in two days. I was impressed!

I turned the water to the ice maker off, unplugged the refrig. and pulled it out from the wall. I loosened and removed two screws with a nut-driver and unplug the wiring connection from the old part by simply pulling on it with my fingers. I then unscrewed the water connection from the old part using a set of pliers. The old part was then discarded. I connected the water and electrical and remounted the new part using the two screws. It was too easy!
