HTX21EASK0WW Hotpoint Dryer - Instructions

Removed old timer, 2 screws. Plug and play.
Very easy install.

I unplugged the dryer from the wall. I took the back off which was simple then I took pictures of all wires connected to timer switch and then I disconnected the switch and looking at my pictures got the wires connected to the new timer. Put it all back together plugged it back in and was back in business. I'm a 37 year old female massage therapist and this was my business dryer I was fixing.

remove top of cabinet and front panel. placed belt around drum and replaced idler pully placed new belt around pully and was done. not a hard job at all. replced front panel and top. thanks to a speedy delivery of my parts dryer was only down two days.

Replaced the timer. did not fix the overheating problem, replaced the High limit thermostat and that did not fix the problem, new timer does not function, does not time.

Check for 240 at back of dryer, replaced all three thermostats around coil on rear panel, including high limt thermo,, but still no heat.

Not sure if coil is bad or if there is another thermostat or fuse around blower.

Still waiting for your parts. over two weeks to get part which was a hinge for something, I don't know what, but not my dryer seal. You said you would refund shipping and wrong part and charge me for a new order. End result was I got charged extra shipping for your mistake. The part still is MIA and it has been 5 weeks since I originally ordered. Will never do business with you again.

had a great video to follow, made it easy to install.

Follow YouTube "how to change dryer's belt" some video is very clear.

I removed the top cover and the back cover to install new belt.
Once i put new belt i discovered that the pulley was also broken so now i have order the pulley so that i can complete the repair

First I replaced the timer, but dryer still did not start. took apart dryer, jumper out door and componet near motor to see what problem was and to be able to run dryer while opened up. Actually motor had seized up just enough to not allow motor to start rotating. Lubricated motor shaft and rotated motor for oil to work its way in. Tried starting again and motor started. Buttoned dryer back up and reconnected wires to appropriate places and started dryer again and again.Worked for 4 loads of laundry and still working for 3 loads on Wednesday. Working fine

good replacement procedure on you tube.

the pulley spring took so much pressure to hold it down it took 3 men and a boy to hold it and place it in position to to get the belt on. Also there is not enough room to get your arms and hands in without getting some small cuts.Ultimately I removed the screws in the back of the dryer and spread the side of the dryer out to gain proper access. It was an easy repair if the spring would not have been so strong.

To get to the slides, needed to take off the front panel, the top and then can loosen the front of the dryer. Pull it out enough to get to the slides and replace them.

Removed 4 #1 Philips screws from 1side and add to the other side.

Unscrewed the old, screwed in the new making sure wires matched up same as before. Reset my breaker and works like new again.
