You answered for Fred re door switch and actuator kit, part number PS334284 Everything begins as expected - setting heat, time etc. Push and hold Start, system clicks, "Sensing" light comes on, motor/drum doesnt turn. Manually depressed door switch, light turns off - still wont run. Checked belt, reset breaker. Can actuator be checked for electrical power w/multimeter? How can we tell if door switch, actuator is faulty?

We only use our drier twice a week and we just started to hear a squeaking noise when we first start it up. Today my wife started to smell a burning smell coming from it. It still spins and dries good, what can we do to stop the noise?

Hello Jeffrey, thank you for your inquiry. According to our research, the issue is most probably with the dryer drum support roller, part number PS11752609. It holds the drum in place while the drum rotates on the support wheels. It is sold individually. You may need to replace it to fix the issue. Glad to be of assistance!

Not getting heat. Reset breaker. No heat. Tested for 240v ac at element leads while on and running. No voltage. Ohm test element 10.0ohms. Thermostat test 0.1 ohm. Thermal fuse there's just a 1 on the left. I'm thinking that's the problem but not 100% sure. You think it's the thermal fuse?

Hello Dan, Thank you for the question. You should receive a reading of 0. Resistance that is low, or near 0, means that the electrical flow is good and the part does not need to be replaced. There are a few thermostats to tests, so we are not sure what Thermostat you have tested but we suggest testing them all. We hope this helps.

The control lock light is on. I unplugged it thinking that might reset the controls. Plugged it back in and the control locked light is still on.

Door Catch part had fallen out,/ was missing
Received your parts, Popped them both right into place, Even though only one side needed to be replaced, I wanted them to match up. It was amazing how easy this was. My husband was quite impressed I had ordered these rather then look for either a new or used dryer from some other source.

Burned out heater element
Remove the kick plate from the bottom of the dryer by sliding a putty knife along the top edge to release the plastic clamps, one on each side about 4" in from the edges. The kick plate folds out and down. You will see the heat shield on the right, held in by one hex head screw. Remove screw and heat shield. The element is positioned in an open-front housing and is fastened to the left side of the housing by two hex head screws, located on the "rail" of the element and right near the two wires. Remove the hex-head screws that hold the element in place and disconnected the two wires by pulling them out by hand or with needle nose pliers. The only difficulty here is the cramped working area...I recommend a stubby socket driver for these two screws. Most of this I had to do by feel because I could not see the screw heads. Once the screws are out and the wires have been disconnected, slide the old element straight out toward you. You may need to disconnect a small plastic hose located to the left front of the element, but this hose just pulls right off. Vacume the dust & lint build-up out of the whole area, wipe out the element housing and clean up the whole underside of the dryer prior to installing the new element. Installation is reverse of removal. It also might be a good opportunity to clean out your exhaust duct and the vent to the outside. (Never use the aluminum foil-accordian-type duct.) If the exterior dryer vent has any kind of screen over it, remove it and get rid of it. Screens collect lint, lint builds up and burns out elements.
