Dryer would not start. After first replacing a spare Dryer Thermal Fuse I had it tripped again due to overheating. I then ordered a replacement Dryer Thermal Fuse as well as a cycling thermostat after determining the thermostat was no longer regulating the dryer's temperature.
Watched the videos for the repairs on the site. Took the back of the dryer off after unplugging the appliance. Removed the failed fuse and thermostat and replaced them both per the video steps. It took about 25 minutes for both parts and the dryer now works well.

Dryer was making a lot of noise while running.
After identfying that the problem was due to a damaged drum support roller, I decided to replace the bad roller instead of replacing the dyer itself.
The first thing was to remove the front cover
and the front panels to expose the drum. (Only a few screws hold them in place.) Next, the drum was removed by first releasing the belt from the motor pulley and tensioner, and then pulling the drum straight out.
At this point the two rollers would be exposed. The triangular plastic retaining locks were removed by slightly prying them off. The old rollers were then removed and replaced.
Before putting everything back, this was a good time to vacuum all the accumulated lint inside, especially the lint that had accumulated around the motor assembly and the fire box.
(A pleasant surprise: I found a lot of coins inside the unit, enough to recoup half of what I spent for the new rollers.)

Dryer was making a loud rattling noise and shaking
I watched the part select you tube video that links specific loud dryer noises to specific broken or loose parts. It allowed me to identify the part I needed, which I ordered through their website. Two days later, I had the part and installed it, with help from another online video that showed me how to take the dryer apart to install the drum support roller. Thank you, the information provided made the repair quite easy. It works perfectly now!

delivery of part over 10 days, fedex rescheduled delivery 3 days in a row.
I closed breaker to dryer. I removed the two screws attaching the lent catcher to the top. I used the putty knife to release the latch on the top of dryer while moving the top forward I was able to lift the top. Now I am waiting on the new door switch before proceeding with replacement. The completion should take another ten minutes.

Removed the drum then removed the old parts and installed the new ones. Dryer now runs very quite and heats good. You have very fast service my mother ordered the parts on the net one day and I received the parts next day and did the repair that night and dried clothes. Thanks,
Your great service is very hard to find.

Dryer drum wasn't turning
Found the belt was broken and the pulley wheel had melted, replaced the belt and the pulley, could not have been simpler. Watched the video on how to repair and in less than 15 mins was fixed. Saved a lot of money by doing it myself.
