Hi Gary,
Thank you for your question. Here is a link to one of our YouTube videos that you may reference on how to access the seal, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqCqrLo2JKo. The dryer in the video may appear different from yours, but it will give you a general idea on how to access and install the seal. We hope this helps! Good luck with the repair!

I am looking for a fuse for this dryer. But I can not find it on the website. If you could help me out, that would be great. Thank
For model number GFDS140ED1WW
Hi David, thank you for reaching out. The fuse you are looking for is part number PS3496852. It protects the dryer from damage by shutting off the voltage in the event of an electrical short. Glad to be of help!
Removed the front Dryer panel. Left drum in place and lifted it up slightly to get access to motor drive. Slipped belt in place and put panel back on. This was a first attempt ever at fixing an appliance and it was no big deal.
The end repair was very simple and took minimal effort. The time and difficulty was all in the testing. I disassembled the dryer and removed the drum and then hard wired each thermo-fuse to determine where the fault was. After test all of those I was stumped. When I opened the door the light would not come on so I assumed it was a power fault closer to the source. However after all of my testing I couldn't find anything wrong. I then removed the light bulb and realized it was burned out which led me to the door switch being the fault. I removed the switch and soldered the three wire together and the dryer started right up! All I had to do was order a new $15 part, unsolder the wires and plug them in. Would have been so much simpler if that light bulb hadn't of been burned out causing me to over think my diagnosis. This was my first major appliance repair and I did it with only the help of the parts diagram provided on the website.
